    Life FM – ‘shining the light on Cork’ – are looking for people to work for free. How Christian of them. Still, not as awful as the call centre looking for slaves interns on JobBridge.

    The mind boggles. A few years ago there was a young man died after falling off the battlements in an Italian fortress city. The photo one of the papers used was of him dressed as a clown. It’s not hard to crop a photo you know.

    ‘Attention sub-editors: No wait, we fired all the subs. Ah well. Onto the page it goes.’

    This is what happens when you sluice copy and photos right off the wires and straight onto the website/page.

    Via.

    Great to see the guy from Human Centipede keeping busy. Also, is it a prerequisite for psychiatric nurses that they look like they just walked out of a B-movie based in a Victorian asylum?

    Also, I always thought prisons in the Philippines looked like great craic.

    Terrific. Fun fact: The guy who initiated those dances was inspired by the Flower Duet scene in Shawshank. Depressing on so many levels.

    We did a photo shoot for Bushmills. To be clear: They gave us a bunch of money and we were able to finish [my recording studio] without borrowing. It was great for us, and everybody that worked at the company was great, and I love Bushmills and wanted to do the deal because my dad loved Bushmills — we bond over Irish whiskey. But the problem is that it isn’t just Bushmills. It’s run by a corporation, and you kind of forget that they’re not interested in you or really what you’re doing. They’re interested in your popularity and your reach, and it felt really sickening after a while. Not badmouthing Bushmills the company, but I regret it.

  • A consumer would have to drink in the region of three bulk tanks before they actually become effected by the carcinogens, but NGN barley is what the malting industry will require in the future.

    Seamus Kearney of the Department of Agriculture, speaking at the Irish Seed Trade Association’s open day in Kildalton about how non-glysodic nitrile (NGN) malting varieties are the future for Irish malting barley growers.  Glysodic nitrilie is produced during the distilling process, he said, and these compounds are carcinogenic.

    However, Kearney added the quantity of these NGNs in current malting varieties are minimal.

    However, I drink three bulk tanks of whiskey before breakfast.

    We heard you like cocaine so we painted your van so everyone would know you like cocaine, plus we stuffed the seats with cocaine. Also: It runs on cocaine.

    Spotted in Midleton yesterday. I met one of the people from the DAWG place when I was running in the woods a couple of days ago. She had a three-legged dog. It outran me.
