If you only watch one Harlem Shake video today, make sure it has sealions and a walrus.

Lost her chance of an Honours List call,
The instant when Hilary,
Decided to pillory,
Kate, which was quite a curve ball.

Dun Laoghaire yesterday.
Gerry Kiernan, of Celtic Forwarding, writes:
Thought your readers might be interested in some shots of the vessel MV Myrte being worked at the Carlisle Pier in Dun Laoghaire, yesterday. The tanks are some 22 metres long x 6.6 metres wide and 5.4 metres in height [30 tons each] [a total of 10 this sailing] for the Guinness brewery extension. It was also the first commercial [cargo] vessel in Dun Laoghaire Harbour since 1988.
You thought yesterday‘s sunrise was impressive?
From the cliff path, Howth, Co Dublin, at 8.13am.
Just showing off at this stage.
Thanks Robin Blandford
What you may need to know:
1. Like most smart filmmakers, Neil Jordan has embraced TV, with The Borgias now in its second season.
2. He still does features, even though recent ones like Ondine (2009) and The Brave One (2007) haven’t been feeling the love. His best movie? We’re thinking The Butcher Boy (1997). And still love Mona Lisa (1986).
3. Byzantium is Jordan’s first vampire flick since Interview With The Vampire (1994) 19 years ago, still his biggest box-office hit.
4. Carlow’s own Saoirse Ronan is starring in the next Wes Anderson movie, then Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut, with Stephenie ‘Twilight’ Meyer adaptation of The Host (2013) in cinemas any day now.
5. Broadsheet Prognosis: Where’s Stephen Rea when you need him?

This is the world’s largest outdoor pool at the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile.
It’s 1km long, covers nearly 20 acres, contains 250 million litres of water pumped in from the Pacific Ocean and drops to 35m at its deepest point.
Here it is on Google Maps.
