“Not sure if you guys know this but Ireland got 3 new world champions last weekend at the world power lifting championships in Germany. Martina Higgins, Louise Nolan for back squat and Lisa duffy in the deadlift. These women all train at the gym I go to. It’s not often we get world champions in Ireland and I believe they deserve a bit of recognition. Here‘s the Facebook link to the gym Facebook page with some details…”
Too late, you looked. Artist nedesem‘s vision of George R.R. Martin as a violent sociopath who only calms himself by slaughtering the characters in his books.
Seems about right.

Planet earth is blue.
But there’s something we can do.

“My brother’s dog Bowie [above) got out of her collar at lunchtime today at the junction of Ballymun Rd and Griffith Avenue [Dublin. She’s pretty distinctive looking – a medium sized collie mix with two different coloured eyes and long tufts of hair coming out of her ears. They’re really worried. THank you.”
Anyone?
UPDATE:
Marino, Dublin tonight.

Senator Catherine Noone (Fine Gael) has called for the regulation of ice cream vans due to the aggressive selling of ice cream in a Wexford housing estate.
She said:
“One [parent] in particular in Wexford told me that there is an ice cream van that visits her estate up to four or five times a day. It is leading to loads of rows between her and her children in particular one child, you know as to whether or not she should allow that child to have either ice cream, slushy drinks, chewing gums.
It does seem frivolous on the face of it but it relates to an issue of pester power.
It’s not that I’m anti-ice cream but the persistent use of chimes in public streets and in estates is an aggressive form of selling.”
How long? How long must we sing this song?

“In light of an article published in the Sunday Business Post, dated 08.06.14 we have detailed the facts on how Movember raises and spends funds as they were supplied to the newspaper but not detailed in the article. As a result we feel that the article did not accurately represent how funds are allocated. Movember is incredibly proud of its low fundraising ratio which we work hard to achieve, as in reality the Irish Movember campaign’s fundraising costs are 6% not 23% as stated. We believe this ratio demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that maximum funds are directly invested in men’s health programmes across Ireland and the world…”

Bruce Campbell (no, not that Bruce Campbell) is a retired engineer who has transformed a decommissioned Boeing 727 fuselage into a home in the 10-acre woods he owns outside Portland Oregon. He paid $220,000 for the plane – about ten times the cost of the land on which it rests, propped up on concrete plinths.
Bruce, who lives in Japan for half the year, is currently seeking a 747 body for a similar conversion project there.
