    Oliver McKeown‘s beautiful photos of the Celtic god Manannán mac Lír on Binevenagh mountain, near Limavady. It was created by Dungannon’s Darren John Sutton, who also created pieces for Game Of Thrones. Obviously the Nordie Christian Militia felt it was time they got their own moving statue, as it has been nicked.

    Those who made off with the statue left a wooden cross with the words, ‘You shall have no other gods before me’ in its place.

  • State Pathologist Marie Cassidy hopes to knock ’em dead on TV3’s ‘The Restaurant’. Hoping to blow the diners away with her classic menu, Marie is keeping it simple but full of flavour. Although worried that the runny consistency of the custard won’t be for everyone, Marie is dead set on sticking to her childhood favourite. With diners and critics impressed before service, Marie is hoping this carries through after tasting – but will the simplicity of the menu be a grave mistake?

    A press release from TV3. Not everybody was delighted by their whimsical japery.

    I was at a whiskey thing last night but I can’t tell you about it because I was sworn to secrecy (and also because you wouldn’t care) but OMG it is eating me alive. But at least I made this alluring gif from the event. Mad multimedia skillz yo, totally relevant to me getting a job.

    Massachusetts punks Dropkick Murphys reacting to Wisconsin’s Republican Governor, Scott Walker, walking on stage at last weekend’s Iowa Freedom Summit to the strains of their song, ‘I’m Shipping Up To Boston’. Please note: Not that Scott Walker.

  • I’m late for a communion service at one o’clock. What are you doing? What are you stopping me for? Chase me if you want, I’m leaving. I don’t give a f**k. I’m late. It is religious week. I hope that you are victimising everyone else.

    Church of Ireland rector Canon Bob Hanna (68), who yesterday successfully appealed a six-month driving ban. In the district court last month, Judge Patrick Durcan banned Canon Hanna from driving after describing his conduct as “despicable” when he was stopped by Garda Lisa McDonagh on April 17 last year. He was doing 135km in a 100km zone at Bunratty on the main dual-carriageway linking Ennis to Limerick. The rector had four previous motoring convictions and had been fined €100 for speeding in January 2014. In evidence, Canon Hanna – who arrived at court by bicycle yesterday – told Judge Tom O’Donnell: “I feel a little hard done by this.”

  • Aghada dream

    Aghada has so much to offer; a hovercraft factory, an old sea plane base and, more recently buried grenades.  I also believe the region was the inspiration behind the name of this 1980s supergroup.

    Blogging game super weak today. Getting rusty yo.
