LEGO builder Rifiröfi has imagined a line of Monty Python and the Holy Grail tie-in sets.

There’s plenty more like The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, The Knights Who Say “Ni” and The Trojan Rabbit.

Finally.

Galway businessman Pat McDonagh would not be drawn on who the potential franchisees are, but he told the Irish Echo that many of those interested were newly-emigrated Irish.
…Mr McDonagh said the Irish fast food chain is currently searching for a site in Bondi Junction in Sydney and Northbridge in Perth.

“The issue is very clear. Syria is Washington’s war. It was planned many years ago. The issue was replacing an independent government with a subservient, pro-Western one.

Any government that is independent gets targeted for regime change.

“This is longstanding US policy and the situation in Syria is very grave.

…American forces have been beefed up in the Mediterranean. There is every indication that America plans to attack. It will do it extra judiciously, lawlessly.”

In other Breaking Bad related internettery, here’s Aaron Paul auditioning for the role of Jesse Pinkman in 2008, showing why Vince Gilligan shelved his initial plans to kill off the Jesse character in series one.

And finally, here’s Aaron Paul as a contestant on The Price Is Right, Bitch ten years earlier in 1998.

(Chef Oliver Dunne, top, Michelin-starred co-proprietor of Bon Appetit in Malahide, Co Dublin, and now Cleaver East in The Clarence Hotel, and Lucinda O’Sullivan, above, food critic of the Sunday Independent and, bottom, the review of Cleaver East in yesterday’s Life magazine)

In an open letter on his blog Mr Dunne writes:

On reflection of your [Lucinda O’Sullivan’s] review [Not available online] which wasn’t that bad (because everything you got was perfect as you were spotted the second you walked in) I wondered why you would write such a nothing review on one of the best restaurants that’s opened in Ireland for years.

…Cleaver East has already after just four weeks got the nation talking positively about it and is being applauded by nearly every single person who has crossed its doors since the opening night critics, celebrities and most importantly the public. Here are four reasons I have come up with why you would do such a thing;

1. You took offence to the fact that I mentioned you on Newstalk when I pulled out of the annual restaurant awards for best chef a few years back as a result of you being the food critic and you had not been in my restaurant for 3 years.

2. You sell plaques to restaurants to promote your own personal guide book whom you profit off and I have voiced my opinion that they are a worthless waste of money….

Yikes.
