A sobering and effective split-screen PSA from the Heart And Stroke Foundation of Canada.
If you’d prefer the happy version, just cover the right hand side of the video with your liver-spotted claw. Or the edge of a fag box, or a slab of ‘deli-style’ ham.

What you may need to know:
1. The Hangover Part II (2011) was possibly the most redundant sequel of all time. It made a lot of money.
2. This one’s got Zach Galafinakis, John Goodman and Melissa McCarthy in it. That’s a whole lot of fat and funny right there. We miss you, John Candy.
3. Director Todd Phillips established the Brat Pack template with his masterpiece Old School (2003). He then proceeded to make a total balls of the Starsky And Hutch (2004) movie.
4. Lest we forget, Bradley Cooper is now a Oscar nominee. Remember when he was the dick from Wedding Crashers (2005)?
5. Ed Helms is playing Rusty Griswold in a Vacation (1983) reboot. Yes, Chevy gets a cameo.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: It’s going to be HUGE. And then they’ll make a fourth one.

“The agent, Kevin Phelan, got Stg£248,624 from Mr Lowry on Aug 28, 2002, six months after the date their negotiations were supposed to have had been finalised and settled.”
“Six days earlier, Mr Phelan received a separate fee of £150,000 on behalf of Denis O’Brien. This was transferred on Aug 22, 2002, after a dispute was resolved between Mr O’Brien and Mr Phelan over the agent’s role in the Doncaster Rovers project.”
“Under the terms of the O’Brien deal, Mr Phelan was paid outstanding fees and relinquished certain claims to profits.
“But the final point of agreement involved clarification from Mr Phelan that a reference to Mr Lowry in one critical document was not Doncaster-related. This issue arose from a note on 1999 fax discussion and was detailed in tribunal testimony by Denis O’Brien Snr, who handled these negotiations on his son’s behalf.
Mr Lowry, Mr O’Brien Snr and Denis O’Brien Jnr have all denied the former Fine Gael minister had anything to do with the Doncaster project.”
Conor Ryan, in today’s Irish Examiner, reporting that Michael Lowry paid Kevin Phelan that £250,000 six days after Mr Phelan, separately, agreed with Denis O’Brien to retract a reference linking Mr Lowry with the Doncaster Rovers project.

Last month, Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown People Before Profit Councillor Hugh Lewis (top) wrote an article critical of people before Prophet Israel in the Southside People.
The Israeli Embassy in Dublin replied with a kind invitation for Cllr Lewis to see Israel for himself.
Hugh, however, was among the MV Saoirse crew taken in international waters last year, brought to Israel, imprisoned for a week, handed a ten year ban and then deported. His ‘crime’ was entering Israel illegally.
Still, he does get a chance to meet the Deputy Ambassador.
