        I never realised that John Lasseter was such a pest to women. I had to go find LA times articles to read about what actually happened. What an idiot, to be such a creep! He ruined a legendary career, he was a real visionary and changed animation forever. But my God reading about his antics with young women working in Pixar is so cringey and appalling. No woman should have to deal with that when they are trying to work.
        I bet no one is wearing those Hawaiian shirts there anymore.

    Why would Pakistan vow revenge if all the bombs missed..? And, in the interest of accuracy, that’s not what the president of Pakistan said..

    Not a word about the murder of the Tipperary DJ on the front pages today, after the breathless headlines yesterday of blood on the ceiling? I suppose the confirmation yesterday the “blood” was fly faeces wouldn’t sell as many newspapers.

    How the hell did Garda investigators confuse human blood for fly faeces?

    We haven’t see this level of incompetence since the Gardai launched a manhunt based on fingerprints they found at a murder scene which turned out to belong to one of the investigating Gardai.

      I know

      They’re riding this story big time

      To the point that I can’t see a conviction coming down

    Brexit is not going to happen. They will have to put some options to the people and a majority will stick with the EU. I just hope it helps the Unwanted Kingdom to break up.

    What’s the difference between raw sewage, sewage, sludge and activated sludge?

    The Times Ireland doesn’t offer any answers but reports today

    “The company [Irish Water] said activated sludge was discharged through an outfall pipe about a kilometre from the facility. An estimated 100 cubic metres of sewage was discharged over 20 minutes.However, the drone footage suggested the effluent was continuing to flow into Dublin Bay several hours later.”

    Why are there not calls for the head of Irish Water to resign? Has our fearless media even sought a comment from Liam O’Sullivan? The “discharge” happened at the weekend but Irish Water only notified the Environmental Protection Agency on Monday after the drone footage came to light.

      “What’s the difference between raw sewage, sewage, sludge and activated sludge?”

      Nouns and Consonants, and a bit o’ spin…..

      Activated sludge is aerated poopee with microorganisms added to assist breakdown. Raw sewage is ‘straight from the tap’. That’s all I know…I swear!

    Has Owen “if you provide decent emergency accommodation, you’ll only encourage them” Keegan anything to say about the €1 million fine which Dublin City Council has fined, er, itself for failing to develop sites to provide housing. Dept of Housing says money isn’t an obstacle to building homes. Why is Dublin City Council paying, what, €50 million for hotels and B&Bs and not building homes?

      Owen doesn’t bother himself with such nonsense, especially when there are homeless people to blame for being homeless..

    I hope Winnie the Pooh is alright after the forest fire at his homestead in England yesterday.

    21 degrees celsius at Kew Gardens in London yesterday.

    The Times London confirms it’s still *winter*

    Populist FG finance minister Paschal Donohue, who always protests he can’t interfere in the operations of the Revenue Commissioners, capitulates after lobbying and goes ahead and interferes in the operations of the Revenue Commissioners by writing to them telling them he’s launching a consultation on [largely totally useless and quite possibly harmful] “food supplements”. Revenue says the receipt of the letter from the minister left it with no option but to halt the intro of 23% VAT on “food supplements” planned for Friday.

    Brazen and populist.

    Nigeria presidential election, result expected today.

    It’s much more interesting than you might expect. The underdog, a shady businessman who was banned from travelling to the US for unspecified reasons but managed to get in last month thanks to Trump’s PR guy, Brian Bollard, is set to lose despite engaging Ballard at a reported $90,000 a month.

    Even after today’s results are announced, I don’t think this will be over. What will Trump say about the election? Is there a food aid aircraft carrier group en route to Nigeria yet?

    I see the Daily Express are gearing up for their return to the Stone Age with their use of Fahrenheit.

      This and sticking to Imperial measurements, the Brits were never really in the EU. More of an à la carte existence. Which, it seems they’re still looking for while outside the tent.
