No kidding…
Ahead of this years Record Store Gay (April 20), a group of musicians and artists got together at Outhouse LGBT Community Centre to perform Niamh Kavanagh’s ‘In your Eyes’ on melody pops.
Andy Walsh writes:
check this out if you get a chance. It is for a great cause and a lot of lovely people have contributed to making it happen.
Is there an IMO-registered doctor in the house.
Er…
Irish Medical News understands that several former or never-before members joined in the weeks leading up to this year’s AGM and may have resigned hours after the abortion motions were debated.
The IMO’s Constitution and Rules states that ordinary members who are eligible to vote must be “registered or provisionally registered under the Medical Practitioners Act for the time being in force in the State”.
It is understood that some people who voted may not have been eligible to do so under this criteria.
Dr Rory O’Hanlon, former Health Minister and retired GP, voted during the meeting but is no longer registered with the Medical Council.
The Rules also state, however, that proceedings “carried on in good faith” cannot be invalidated later.

Of PETMAN – their frankly terrifying robo-humanoid, developed with funding from the US Defense Department’s Chemical and Biological Defense program, Boston Dynamics sez:
It is used to test the performance of protective clothing designed for hazardous environments. The video shows initial testing in a chemical protection suit and gas mask. PETMAN has sensors embedded in its skin that detect any chemicals leaking through the suit. The skin also maintains a micro-climate inside the clothing by sweating and regulating temperature.
Killing all humans: it’s a sweaty business.
Ah here.
Thanks Ben Farr

Downing Street, London, today.
In keeping with the great lady’s legacy, Margaret Thatcher’s state funeral should be funded and managed by the private sector to offer the best value and choice for end users and other stakeholders. ..
Privatising Margaret Thatcher’s funeral would be a fitting tribute to her legacy (Sunny Hundal, December 22, 2011, Guardian)
