Nice fur tails.
The staff of our own Daily Star,
Are at risk from a dirty old tsar,
Who throws hissy fits,
At the sight of posh tits,
And this time he’s going too far.

What you may need to know
1. Man Of The Moment Chris O’Dowd is EVERYWHERE right now. He’s in the next Judd Apatow movie, the Apatow produced HBO series Girls and the next John Michael McDonagh movie for starters. Oh, and the second series of Moone Boy has already been given the green light.
2. The Sapphires is a feel-good Aussie musical, top-lined by Boyle’s finest – it’s been acquired by Harvey Weinstein for US release. He’s planning to go big with it.
3. The Big Question: So what did YOU think of Moone Boy?

Our code monkey Karl has just released a preliminary calculator for Budget 2013.
Sez Karl:
There is already a vague shape to what will be announced in another austerity-laden budget. Joan Burton has been making noises about changing (read: increasing) employee and employer PRSI rates. An increase from the current rate of 4% to 5% would result in an extra €293.96 on the tax bill of someone on the average industrial wage.
Another proposal is that a parent earning over €100,000 would have their child benefit taxed. At that level of earnings though it makes minimal difference with just €688.80 a year for a single child clawed back. Given that successive governments have failed to implement this don’t hold your breath.
And another big change is the full implementation of the property tax. The rate has yet to be announced, but 0.5% of the property’s value has been mooted by the IMF. You can be hopelessly optimistic and set the rate at a low of 0.05% (paying €50 per €100K of value) to an eye-watering high of 1% (paying €1,000 per €100K).
As more rumours surface, I will factor in the inevitable misery onto the calculator. Enjoy.

But which Irish artist designed it?
Lines close at 11am.
Update: Louis Le Brocquy, 1951.
From the Victoria and Albert Museum:
Brocquy executed this design for David Whitehead Ltd., a leading manufacturer of furnishing fabrics, based in Lancashire. The company engaged avant-garde designers to produce furnishings with a modern ‘look’, throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The design on this fabric was created by mechanised screen-printing, then a comparatively new technology that reduced costs considerably for the manufacturer.
