Did we miss anything important last week? The country sliding into recession you say? Big deal. That’s nothing compared to what our poor farmers are having to do. Straight from the Irish Cattle & Sheep association:

Farmers screwed twice for plastic collection- ICSA

Bargain.

Ah yes.

Well then. The paywall falls at irishtimes.com. That’s great. More importantly, what’s the next Jazz Biscuit campaign going to be? I’m thinking something loftier, more sexy, more to do with asses and stuff.

Yep no time for the internets myself, but this is great stuff:

Thanks Chris, who found it via Mulley.

It’ll be a quiet one on Jazz Biscuit this week. I know, set iphones to who gives a mocha-fucka-latte and let’s move on.

Fine, be like that. Go and click on the various web sites in the big list to the left-and-down-a-bit of your screen to be entertained.

Looks like we made it after all. Weekend rises.

• Bats - Nautilus Vs. Irish Ferry Music Video:
  
  via Off her rocker.
• The hand shake controversy. Guy apparently refuses to shake hands with a female when accepting refugee award.
• A new Irish craft site has been launched: www.mademarian.net
• Creative Ireland finds a source of funny party pics. Creative Ireland makes it the subject of potatoshop friday with lollerific results.

It seems like a slow news day today. I haven’t heard anyone talking about blow jobs like yesterday, so it’s just not as exciting. Here’s a new club orange ad, which has shocking sexual overtones which left this viewer clambering for the Joe Duffy hotline*:

Unfortunately, somebitsarecrucial.ie isn’t actually in existance just yet, and redirects to hosting365.com.

*Cause I want him to talk dirty to me.

Thanks to Robin, we find youtube video of Michael O’Leary’s press conference that we were talking about earlier:

Legend.

Public consultation on the adding of photographic warnings to tobacco products ends tomorrow, so if you object to your smokes having some pretty rancid images on them, better get your letter written now.

You can see the proposed 14 images on the Department of Health and children web site.

Update: Video of the press conference here:

It can’t be a real news story can it? I can’t find a single other source for the story on Google news. Well, take it away Indo:

The airline will fly people in economy class across the Atlantic for €10, while those in premium class will pay €4,000 to €5,000 for “beds and blow jobs,” Mr O’Leary said. His local spokeswoman then began to choke on her glass of water while the Ryanair man added “surely you have a word for blowjobs in German,”according to local press reports.

Did he say it? Anyone know what blow job is in German and want to go do some blow job googling for me?

I’m just looking forward to the full page ads for this shit. And the blow jobs.

A boardsie logs on and allegedly says:

Queue the unravelling as he’s identified, ridiculed, supported and everything else as the thread unfolds. Today, it hits Joe Duffy.

You can listen to that here. Starts at about 17.15 mins in to the program.

Storm in a tiny tea cup or national scandal? YOU DECIDE.

Update: Has to be done:
