[Paul Williams rolls the window down and stares gimlet-eyed]
Garda Sullivan: “Jaysus. Tis yerself hah?”
Williams [arches right eyebrow]: “Oh indeed.”
Garda Sullivan [pushes hat back]: “I’d say yer in a rush to meet up wih some underworld informant hah?”
Williams: “Oh my friend, I’d like nothing better than to tell you. But I can’t; I would not have the endangerment of a fellow crimefighter on my conscience.”
Garda Sullivan [whistles]: “Dunt dat bate all. Hoyah, sorry for delayin’ yeh. Go wan.”
Williams: “Mint. Keep fightin’ the good fight sham. Godspeed.”
Garda Sullivan [waves] “Right you are, fair balls to you all the same”

Kudos and best wishes to [Cavan teenagers] The Strypes who have signed an important record deal [with Mercury, a subsidiary of Universal Music. This is the band, above, signing the deal in the Clarence Hotel, Dublin]. They are stonkingly good though, fairness.

Branded bodhran. Check. No beards. Check. No strange, lazy-eyed boy plucking banjo. Check.
A beaming Paddy McGuinness (left) and Enda Kenny at the Royal College of Physicians, Dublin, last night.
Paddy is a former Fine Gael whip on Mayo County Council and a close friend and supporter of the Taoiseach’s for more than 20 years.
In a happy coincidence Paddy has been appointed (by Phil Hogan) as chairman of the Western Development Commission, a statutory body (Quango) responsible for “operating the €32 million Western Investment Fund (WIF) to provide loans and equity to business and local communities throughout the region”.
That’s why Enda looks so surprised and the guy in the middle looks so happy.

Greyhound can’t afford to offer free recycling pick up any more, so they start charging a ridiculous amount for bags! Do you know any other bin collectors who’d take my money instead?
