Deputy Stanley said the €160m the charge raises for local authorities could be replaced by other measures, such as higher income tax on those earning over €100,000, and a cap on public service wages of €100,000.

The Bill is backed by trade unionists Jimmy Kelly of Unite and John Douglas of Mandate, and by Louise Baylis of the single parents’ group SPARK.

Chiptune artist Inverse Phase has reimaged NIN’s Pretty Hate Machine using eight different 8-bit systems (including Commodore 64, Atari 800 and NES) to create something that sounds like it belongs in an early nighties side-scrolling shoot-’em-up.

The Thing Thong by designer Douglas Hamilton who sez:

“a flip-flop with a super-elastic strap that can be worn as an emergency swimsuit in case a shark eats your other one. Plus it has a thong back for maximum tanning! “

Ah here.

What you need to know:

1. The Master is writer/director P. T. Anderson’s first film since
There Will Be Blood (2007).

2. P.T.A’s earlier masterworks include Boogie Nights (1997), Magnolia (1999) and
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

3. The Master marks Joaquin Phoenix’s return to acting duties proper after his wilderness period.

4. Anderson insists that the film is NOT inspired by L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology, possibly in a doomed attempt to (a) circumvent controversy and (b) avoid pissing off Tom Cruise.

5. The film was shot in 70MM. We’re talking old-school wide screen splendour.

6. Three words: Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Two more: great ‘tache.

Release date: November
