An untouched photo from Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Trinity College this week. The embracing couple are Senator David Norris and Senator Katherine Zappone. Awkward dude is awkward.

Too soon?

YOU decide.

Sample:

A scuffle started in the local one Friday night. Words were exchanged, then insults and finally blows. Bottles, glasses, people, flew through the air and Casey ended up being hit in the face by a sharp piece of glass which cut off his nose.

‘Stick his nose back on and hold it with your hand,’ ordered McGinty. ‘And we’ll get him to the hospital.’

Out into the street they flew to be greeted by sheets of rain pelting down.

Quickly they bundled the injured man along and into the casualty department.

‘Will he live?’ inquired the boys.

Too late,’ said the doctor, ‘he’s a goner.’

‘Was it loss of blood?’ asked Finbar.

‘No, he drowned. You put his nose on upside down,’ sighed the doc.

Sample 2:

Murphy had asked Casey for the hand of his daughter in wedlock.

‘And can you support a family?’ asked Casey.

‘I think so,’ replied Murphy.

‘Well. There’s six of us, you know,’ said the future father-in-law.

A video ‘postcard’ (and short history lesson) to MTV viewers on Patty’s Day, 1982, from October-era U2 in the Dublin docklands, looking like Dresden after the war.

Techovate 2012?

A two-day (March 21 and 22) event at the fancy new Wexford Opera House bringing “Silicon Valley to the South-East” organised by the not-for-profit job creation organisation, Innovation Wexford and the region’s entrepreneur ‘alliance’, Fuse.

Sez they:

The conference concept came about after a group of entrepreneurs travelled to Silicon Valley and knocked on doors to forge links with the diaspora in Northern California to help develop growth within the Irish SME sector.

Speakers include Coder Dojo co-founder Bill Liao and Fred Karlsson, who started Irish internet godzilla, DoneDeal.ie

It’s the future, dude.
