an unhingeda concerned woman, putting these up in Phoenix Park last night . There’s no law or bye-law about walking in the cycle lanes…anyone?
What you may need to know.
1. Sly Stallone has FIVE movies out in the next year or thereabouts, including Expendables 3 (2014) and a boxing movie where he fights Bobby De Niro. Seriously.
2. First up, however, we get his first prison flick since 1989’s justly forgotten Lock Up. Truth be told, we’re still holding out for that Tango & Cash (1989) sequel.
3. Arnold Schwarzenegger is going through his Morgan Freeman phase.
4. Is that Vincent D’Onofrio from Law & Order: Criminal Intent? Man, that TV catering takes its toll.
5. The bad guy? It’s Jim ‘Jesus’ Caviezel, from our new favorite guilty pleasure, Person Of Interest.
6. Plus: Straight-To-DVD superstar 50 Cent! Wait… Did Cannon Pictures make this?
7. We haven’t been this excited since Expendables 2 (2012). And it doesn’t even have Chuck Norris in it.
Release Date: Xtravision shelves by October
So Ed wants to come over here,
For asylum, which seems rather queer,
So let’s lock up the scamp,
In the old Mosney camp,
He’ll soon decide to disappear.

Hunger Game

Tony Rochford, from Trim Co Meath with supporters outside the Dail yesterday afternoon.
Mr Rochford is on hunger strike to protest the property tax. He is being charged €495 charged on his home – a figure he says is based on the €430,000 he paid for the property in 2008 and not on current valuation.
But it is the least of his worries.
As he explained on day 10 of the strike:

Ah Japan. Never change.

Most content indeed.

Síog the Soother Fairy’s postbox – a toddler-friendly collection/quitting/drop-off point for dummies/soothers/dodies installed last Saturday at Rathbeggan Lakes Adventure Park in Dunshaughlin, county Meath.
The mammies are loving it.

Thought it was a brilliant idea. Had been trying to get rid of the dummy for ages.

Logo designer Graham Smith’s entirely plausible ongoing mashup of popular logos and brand names.
More here.
You’ll recall his trolling of the London Olympic sponsors last summer.
Wait for it.
Brendan Howlin gets his Naomi on at Merrion Row and Merrion Street, Dublin, this afternoon.
Stay for the huffy walk.
Dublin Says No writes:
“Members of Rage against the Regime (RAR) today lodged requests at the Department of Finance regarding the Anglo Tapes.
On exiting the building they encountered Minister (for Public Expenditure and Reform, Brendan) Howlin.
Derek, from Dublin Says NO, recorded RAR,as they tried to question the Minister.
Mr Howlin tried to grab the camera and refused to speak to us. So much for being a voice of the people
Like to see him try that with Ursula Halligan.
