Not weird at all.

Making a killing
In this scenario, Vincent Browne killed Rosie Larson by pushing her into a gorse bush.

In 10 years, everyone will have a 3D printer in their house. Your friend will say, “Let’s go, hurry up” and you’ll go, “Wait, my shoes haven’t finished printing yet.” In 20 years, you’ll be able to print a new kidney. You’ll have a machine that prints your genome with proteins that are right for your body. 3D printers will change how we make things, how we fix and heal things. To eat beef and wear leather, you need a lot of land and water for cows. In the next 20 years, we’ll be able to print beef and leather instead. Real talk.

I was in the car and I spotted a fella in a hood running through traffic with a brown leather bag and I knew straight away something was up. I ran after him like a bat out of hell and managed to get the bag.

Spring breakers
Remember handsome auteur James Franco? Well this is him now:
Feel old yet?
Actually, it’s Martin ‘The Viper’ Foley, but I think they look sorta alike, so it’s worth posting here. Please endorse me for the skills of ‘content creation’ and ‘timewasting on the internet’.

The child is still a human being, you don’t destroy a life in order to get back at the mother’s rapist.
The Catholic Bishop of Elphin Kevin Doran, who claimed that women who have abortions after being raped were likely doing so to get back at their rapist. He also likened the termination of a foetus to that of killing a terminally ill patient, adding that “to kill another human being is always sinful”.

Splash it on all over
Jameson Grace, a 1990s release aimed at the Asian market, which doesn’t explain why it looks like this: 
Grace even came in the same quantities as CK One – a startlingly tiny 20cl. Still, if you think that packaging is odd, look at this ‘not snazzy enough for the Tesco Value range’ number:More like Erin Go Blah, amiriteguise?

My missus has MS and she’s been recently diagnosed. I’m definitely thinking of leaving her. We’ve kind of talked about it and everything. We have a daughter and I’m changing her nappies every day and I don’t want to be changing the missus’ as well.

Circle of friends
The Indo illustrates how the rich spend their money. I hope someday I will be rich enough to be trapped in a little white circle of my own.

‘We didn’t know we were so thick’
They say that, and yet:
Mr O’Donnell, a successful corporate lawyer, and Mary Pat, a psychiatrist, quietly and quickly built up an impressive property portfolio during the height of the boom. It was valued at €1.1bn and got the couple onto Ireland’s rich list.
Their portfolio stretched from Dublin to London, Stockholm and Washington. They owned a chalet in Courcheval, the upmarket French ski resort. They bought and restored Gortdrisagh House, a Victorian pile in Oughterard, Co Galway with its own private harbour.
And of course they also had Gorse Hill. The O’Donnells bought it in 1998 for €1.4m as their family home and later acquired a piece of land next door for €1.5m. The site was redeveloped into the home it is now. Valued at €30m in its heyday, it is now worth an estimated €7m.
When the credit crunch hit, the debt that fuelled their wealth stood at around €900m. The couple started selling off properties and restructuring debts. They agreed a settlement in March 2011 with Bank of Ireland, but nine months later the bank secured a judgement against them for €71.5m claiming they failed to honour repayments promised under the deal.
By then, Brian and Mary Pat O’Donnell had moved full-time to London and applied for bankruptcy there, hoping to walk clear of their debts after a year, under the UK’s more lenient system. But the judge didn’t believe their main centre of business was in the UK.
And yet:
