Toutless
eiresol | July 1, 2008
Toutless.com is an Irish site which launched a few months ago. Their aim is to link up Irish music fans with the aim of buying and selling tickets at face value (or below). This obviously helps real fans get tickets at regular prices, without having to resort to extortionate ticket touts.
It’s a simple well-moderated forum, and there’s a section for sports tickets too.
Definitely one to bookmark.
delicious theft
eiresol | June 21, 2008from the auld paper yesterday…

“A recovering drug addict who stole 120 packets of rashers replied “Galtee” when a judge asked him if he did it.
Graham Finlay made the quip in Tallaght District Court, Dublin, after Judge James McDonnell asked him to plea. The court heard Finlay was caught on CCTV stuffing nearly EUR500 worth of bacon into his pockets in three separate Dublin supermarkets.
He said he ate some of his loot and sold the rest so he could fund his drug habit. Finlay, from Knockmore in Tallaght, also pleaded guilty to stealing 24 shower gels worth €104. Judge McDonnell sentenced him to six months in prison.”

Darth Vader escapes jail
eiresol | May 13, 2008
“A man who dressed up as Darth Vader and attacked the founder of Britain’s first Jedi church was spared jail today.
Twenty seven year old Arwel Wynne Hughes, who has a chronic alcohol problem, jumped over a garden wall in Holyhead and launched the assault on the Star Wars obsessives while they filmed a documentary to promote their Jedi Church - which was formed last year.
Hughes who was drunk at the time bellowed “Darth Vader” as he hit Barney Jones over the head with a crutch and punched his cousin Michael in the thigh on March 25th.
Hughes was sentenced to two months in jail suspended for one year at the local Magistrates court today.”
