What you may need to know.

1. We didn’t realize that there had been a Scary Movie 4 (2006). And can’t really remember Scary Movie 3 (2003). Or 2 (2001).

2. The original Scary Movie was a piss-take of Scream (1996). This one does Paranormal Activity (2007), Mama (2013) and Evil Dead (1981), ahead of next month’s remake. Topical!

3. Hey, everybody! It’s Ashley Tisdale from High School Musical!

4. Fourth Sign Of The Movie Apocalypse @ 1’19: Charlie Sheen & Lindsay Lohan have done a movie together.

5. We can’t believe they go a full fifteen seconds before someone gets hit in the nuts.

Release Date: Summer

Not that kind of grass.

Silly.

A quarter of a century later.

Hot House Flowers’ suprisingly well-aged Europe-hopping video for 1988’s ‘Don’t Go’.

Paid for by the EU Broadcasting Union as the interval act for the 1988 Eurovision held in Dublin

They should have lost that sax solo, to be fair.

Twenty five years.

Also: name those countries, anyone?

Designer Alex Cornell’s helpful infographic – details of which you’ll be putting into practice sometime soon. He sez:

One of the most complex social situations you will encounter is the 45 seconds that elapse while deciding where to sit for dinner at a restaurant. Your choice should appear natural, unbiased and haphazard if executed properly. Timing is everything. These 45 seconds determine how enjoyable your next 2 hours will be. Once the pieces start to fall into place and people take their seats, your choices narrow. People sit, seemingly at random, and if you don’t take the appropriate measures, you’re inevitably stuck at the least interesting end of the table.

Bankrupt former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick has told the High Court he intended any profits from his Stg£250,000 investment in a London property, funded via a loan from Anglo, would give “a lift” and “a chance of money” to a “bright young kid” who joined the bank from school.

Mark Redmond could have made thousands “or nothing, which is what it turned out to be”, Mr FitzPpatrick said.

Mr FitzPatrick added he paid, from his own money as “gifts”, school and college fees for some children of Anglo officials.

Mmf.

The man’s a saint.

FitzPatrick says he paid education fees of Anglo officials’ children as “gifts” (Mary Carolan, Irish Times)

Probably spilling all over their laps. Toast crumbs everywhere. What are we paying our road tax for?

Perishing rockers.

Aidan sez:

Coast to Coast: Tea and Toast. Our cross country charity promotional event pairs promoting Irish bands with raising money for Down Syndrome Ireland culminating with a finale gig in Whelan’s Dublin on March 30th 2013.

And the tay?

Team Goldenplec crosses the country, Coast to Coast from Dublin to Galway on Good Friday 29th March meeting a band in every county we pass through for a cup of tay, a slice of toast and a one song gig recorded on mobile phones.

Ah.

Tickets for the Whelan’s gig are €10 and a “very decent” headline act is promised.

Oh, go on then.

*slurp*

Time please, puzzle fans.

It’s the slickly-presented game they’re all talking about.

‘They all’ being the bloke at the end of the bar nursing a half shandy and a whole lifetime of regrets.

Can you name the four Dublin pubs?

Tip your lounge boy.
