Thai artist Chawakarn Kongprasert’s interpretation of key scenes from Star Wars as Medieval manuscript illuminations.
Our old friend Jittender Chhatar,
Has said something downright bizarre,
A rape, thinks this dude,
Can be caused just by food,
This half-wit has gone far too far.

Metro Herald [free newspaper in Dublin] are now accepting money off Pro-Life campaigns and posted a third page and half page on Monday and Tuesday. They gave some space this morning in their ‘Mailbox’ section today for their readers (including myself) who have now boycotted them.. I’ve worked in ad sales for about two years and I would never accept money from these people.
The James Gandon-designed Carriglass Manor, Co Longford.
Home of Thomas Lefroy (1776-1869), who was – reputedly – the inspiration for ‘Mr. Darcy’ in Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’.
Longford Council gave permission to build a “new Citywest’ around the manor.
And Brian Cowen turned the first sod.
Peter Writes:
This is a video about Carriglass Manor, Co. Longford. It was one of the most beautiful stately homes in the country and was bought in the boom by property speculators. The grounds were ravaged and now the whole site is a half-built mess of a ghost estate with nobody living there. The video is by a Longford student Mary Morrissey.

Just dropping you a line to mention an incident you may already be aware of. Last night I noticed a boards.ie thread in which a YouTube video was posted showing three articulated lorries parked on a dual carriageway for the purposes of a photo shoot. here is a copy of the video as the original has been deleted
The boards.ie thread has also been deleted, as have all references to the incident on the Facebook page of the company involved in the shoot.
Anyone?

In the last 10 years, Justin Jedlica has had 90 separate plastic surgeries in attempts to transform himself into a real-life Ken doll.
In an interview with ABC’s 20/20 Jedlica admitted to being addicted to plastic surgery. “I love to metamorphosize myself, and the stranger the surgery the better”, he said, adding that “bucking the norm is so much fun”.
Justin, we’ve got just the girl for you.
