“Germany could well afford as an insurance of future peace  to guarantee Irish bonds and securities for the development of the island, issued on the good  faith and property of the people.”

Lol.

And how was it for you?

The organisers of the Volvo Ocean Race grand finale in Galway have sought a Government ‘bail-out’ to help pay off the €400,000 they owe up to 60 suppliers.

And Let’s Do It Global have said they cannot guarantee all creditors will be paid, and conceded the company could be threatened with liquidation.

It’s understood that Fáilte Ireland has already refused a bailout, and a total of up to €300,000 is now being sought from the Department of Transport and Tourism and Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.

What you may need to know.

1. ‘From the director of Horrible Bosses… And a producer of Ted’.

2. We LOVE Jason Bateman, an actor with impeccable comedy chops that Hollywood keeps putting in shit sandwitches like The Switch (2010) and The Change-Up (2011). Thankfully, he’s got that Arrested Development revival on the horizon.

3. Melissa McCarthy was the Oscar-nominated break-out star of Bridesmaids (2011). She also stars in the HILARIOUS sitcom Mike & Molly… Get it? They’re FAT.

4. That staple of American motion picture comedy, the swift knee to the nuts, occurs at 1’40. There’s got to be a thesis in there somewhere.

5. With slight tweaks, this could be a psycho thriller starring Ryan Reynolds and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Release Date: February 2013
