[Russia’s Tolmachevy Sister perform last night in Copenhagen, Denmark]
I just can’t begin to think who,
Would ever see Russians and boo,
Must these musical twins,
Pay for Vladimir’s sins?
Please tell me that this isn’t true.

[Possible ‘Da Pinchi Code’ markings outside a house in Tyrrelestown, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15 yesterday]
D writes:
My brother’s house was broken into in Tyrellstown, Blanchardstown yesterday afternoon while my sister-in-law was out picking the kids up from school. I’d heard about robbers putting markings outside houses before but thought it was just a myth.
My sister-in-law left the house for the school pick-up run and did some shopping, and was back no more than 90 minutes after she left, and the house was turned upside down with lots stolen.
It was only after that my brother noticed the markings on the wall, fence and bin that he then brought it to the Gardaí’s attention when they arrived. They said they’re seeing more of this and burglaries are on the rise.
Long story short, they’re saying to keep an eye out for any markings like this anywhere around your property.
Anyone?

I have started a webcomic, with artist Aileen Cudmore. It’s about board games, and boardgaming. We’re both big comic fans, and love boardgames as well. While there are plenty (even a plethora, one might say) of sites that cover board games, providing a wealth of information, there are not that many that treat it with the humour that it deserves. Board games for us, is a sociable and fun hobby; not one to be taken over-seriously.
Oh.

[Alan Shatter and Mick Wallace on RTE 1’s Prime Time ]
The Data Protection Commissioner has found that the Minister for Justice Alan Shatter has broken the law by disclosing personal information about Mick Wallace on de telly
From the BS vaults [May 16, 2013]:
Alan Shatter: “As Deputy Wallace knows, even without…in issuing tickets, the Gardaí exercised discretion. Deputy Wallace himself was stopped with a mobile, on a mobile phone last May, by members of An Garda Síochána and he was advised by the guard who stopped him that a fixed ticket charge could issue and you would be, he could be given penalty points. But the garda apparently, as I’m advised…”
Pat Kenny: “Used his discretion.”
Shatter: “Used his discretion and warned him and told him not to do it again.”
Pat Kenny: “Mick? Mick? The guard used his discretion?”
Wallace: “I tell you what, first of all that’s news to me. Secondly, right, with regard to discretion…”
Kenny: “You don’t recall that incident?”
Wallace: “I don’t know. Listen with regard to discretion. It’s all very well to say they’re using discretions here and there but in actual fact, once the, the rule is once it goes on the system, they should go to court to deal with it. Now listen..”
Kenny: “By the way, are you not concerned that the minister should know about your private business dealing with the Gardaí?”
Wallace: “I’m not, I’m not remotely worried about what the minister knows.”
Shatter breaks data protection law on Mick Wallace (RTE)
Previously: How Did He Know?
Meanwhile…
Tut tut. Despite Alan Shatter describing my story as “inaccurate”, it is indeed 100pc true. DPC final findings expected to say the same.
