Someone offering a spare room has included 5 paragraphs of personal information
“I want someone clean, laid back, tidy, a bit of fun and respectful. (and someone that can take the odd practical joke… ) I don’t mind strangers in the house as long as it’s not too often. I want applicants to mail me at least a paragraph about themselves and feel free to ask any questions, personal or otherwise.  I prefer to start with a 3month contract to see if we get on.. ”

In this very slickly produced eye-candy, Sony celebrates “125 years of musical history covering almost 150 square meters of wall space in Sony’s Derry Street offices in London. Using just CNC-cut vinyl as the sole medium, 54 columns measuring over 2 meters tall cover feature nearly 1000 of Sony Music’s signed artists from 1887 to the present day.”

Who had to write this stuff:

“So, for me in accepting this Golden Cleric  Viktoriain in the name of the Irish people It’s clear the words do not exist to describe their courage their dignity their generosity in how they have faced and are now facing-down such difficulties. Be in no doubt it is because of them, and their outstanding qualities that mean I bring good news to Berlin tonight…Ireland is on the road to recovery.”

The first trailer for Marc Forster’s World War Z starring Brad Pitt.

It remains to be seen what fans of Max Brooks’ book will make of it, but visually, it’s the Zombie Apocalypse in full effect – with deadsters swarming like ants, making the running dead of 28 Days Later and Dawn of The Dead look positively sedentary.

2013 release date to be confirmed.

All we know for now is that Ireland and Iceland will be safe as houses, come the actual day.
