Poor Aengus’s troubles began,
When he stopped to top up on his tan,
In a break in the news,
But he missed all his cues,
Such is life for a top anchorman

QF191 was approximately 20 minutes into its 6.15am flight from Cairns to Port Moresby when a woman suddenly pointed outside of the plane and declared to cabin crew: “My goodness there’s a snake on the wing… there’s its head and if you look closely you can see a fraction of its body too.”
What’s his numbers?
OK, let’s have a look at the balls.

Fair play thoug –
What intrigued us far more than the sexy content however was the bodacious number of Twitter followers that Sidelines had in its back pocket. The Twitter account had been actively posting for about 48 hours old and already boasted 53,000 Twitter followers. You might expect that kind of turnaround from Katherine Webb, but it was surely a record amongst Irish sports websites. We searched around to see if LeBron James or BOD had given the account a plug on Twitter but no, nothing.
Oh.

Only one person out of the 40 who applied to Minister for Health James Reilly for a place on the board of the State health watchdog body was ultimately appointed, documents show.
This was despite the fact Dr Reilly’s officials judged that the vast majority of applicants for board positions on the Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa) were of a high standard and only nine failed to meet the required criteria.
Of the three appointments made by Dr Reilly, one was of a person who applied through the Public Appointments Service, while the other two were appointed directly without having applied through this channel.
Earlier this week The Irish Times reported that none of the 28 people who applied to join the board of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) was selected by Dr Reilly. Documents showed that the Government parties divided up the appointments between them, with Fine Gael getting six and Labour three.
Nice for some.
