Glenn Keogh and Jack Reynor

And how.

An incredibly down to earth chat with a very down to earth Dub in Hollywood.

Vic Barry of The Movie Bit writes:

“Irish actor Glenn Keogh, last seen in Michael Bay’s Transformers Age Of Extinction (2014) had a lengthy and inspiring chat with myself and had some great stories about Michael Bay, his introduction to Steven Spielberg (by Jack Reynor of all people), life in Hollywood, and leaving behind his accountancy job in Ireland to become an actor in Hollywood. The link is here and, while I’m biased, it’s a fascinating interview….”

Difficult to begrudge, in fairness.

But don’t let that stop you.

A stack of shipping containers put in place by Belgian artist Arne Quinze for the North West Walls Street Art Festival earlier this month, upon which Spanish graffiti artists Pichi & Avo were given free rein to apply their trademark themes – Greek gods depicted in vibrant Mediterranean colours.

‘The Dream‘ is a nationwide search for undiscovered young Irish football talent to compete in local trials to win a chance to trial for the Nike Academy in London exclusive to Life Style Sports in Ireland.

Wipe them out. All of them.

But enough about rural political dynasties.

Waterville, Co Kerry last night.

Bring your high-volume, huddled masses.

The bigger the wallet louder the better.

Locals in the Kerry village of Waterville have come out in force to proclaim their town ‘American-friendly’ – despite reports to the contrary. Residents and business owners took to the streets of the picturesque Kerry town yesterday evening to wave US flags – as well as Canadian, British and EU ones, for some reason – in a demonstration designed to counter the impression that ‘loud Americans’ were not welcome in the town.

And not a moment too soon.

Animal rescuer Connie Smith sez:

Adorable little 20 day old house mouse, an absolute darling she is the sweetest thing. I’ve hand raised her since she was about 11 days old and she is the runt of the litter. This was her first taste of a daisy, and she absolutely loved it.
