DCU student Paul Bunbury (above) has been missing since Thursday. Paul was last seen in the college campus [Collins Avenue, Glasnevin, Dublin 9] at around 4pm. He hasn’t been online in over 24 hours and his phone is switched off which is out of character for him. If anyone has seen him or has any information please contact Whitehall garda station on (o1)6664500. There will also be a search at 2pm in DCU meeting at the Helix.
Just confirmed: Tenacious D’s follow up to The Pick Of Destiny (2006) due out in May, when they’ll also be playing live at the Sasquatch Music Festival in George, Washington.
For now, Jack Black, Kyle Gass, the cover art of Rize Of The Fenix and a taste of the title track.

The somewhat easy on the eye Guillaume Blanchet from Montreal sez of his charming short film:
I love being on a bike. It helps me feel free. I get it from my dad.
After 382 days spent riding through the streets of Montreal, being sometimes quite cold, sometimes quite hot – and sometimes quite scared, I dedicate this movie to you, Yves Blanchet :-)

Throughout, Kowalik [Magda’s real name] has remained well disposed to Irish people. “It kind of proved that I’m right about [the] Irish, because [of] the amount of positive, amazing comments. And they were not just my friends. Of course, there were angry comments, but they were at the system and at the ‘Magda’ character from the changed article. But when it started to come up that this was not what the article was about . . . it just proved me right.
…What about going back to Poland? “No. You’re stuck with me for good.”

Having urged you to purchase during the boom the paper of record now feels your pain.
“If you have purchased anything in the last 10 years you’re likely to be in negative equity.”
Cheers, Dan.
