  • A Twitter row over this incredibly vague graph climaxed with a FG TD calling a voter a “moron”

  • Many things should be taken seriously – but thankfully life is not one of them.

  • The death of creativity

    I’m not saying that having Rachel Wallace jumping out of a bush in Stephen’s Green dressed as the Easter Bunny qualifies as ‘creativity’, but at least there was a theme.

    Seeing this disappointing show from the Lotto peeps almost makes me glad I won’t be posting any more awkward photoshoots from January on, as I will be on the dole and no longer have access to PR pics.

    I’ll probably just fill the void with images of me sobbing onto scratch cards while mouthbreathers around me openly talk about doing ‘foxers’ as though it isn’t fraud. 

    Yay life. 

  • The State generally is extremely nervous about jailing people for protesting against water meters. They know if anyone is jailed on this issue you’ll have absolutely huge numbers of people on the streets. So, I think where these injunctions have been given to the likes of GMC Siera or if they are given to the likes of other water meter installers, I think that people are right to breach them.

    And from 2001:

    Lord Archer was found guilty of creating false diaries and concocting a bogus story to win a 1987 trial over whether he had slept with a prostitute to whom he paid $3,500 in hush money. He claimed at the time that he had never met her, and the case ended up in court because he sued the newspaper carrying the report, The Daily Star, and obtained an $800,000 libel judgment.

    The Star said today it would seek $3 million from Lord Archer in a civil action based on today’s finding that he had based his case against the paper on lies and forgeries. ”No one should have any sympathy for Jeffrey Archer,” said the editor, Peter Hill. ”He is a proven liar, a cheat and a chancer, a man so arrogant that he thought he was above the law. Now he has gotten what he deserves.”

  • Being nice to people doesn’t come naturally to me. I’d be more inclined to rob money out of people’s pockets. Now I want to put money back in their pocket and help them save money.
