LIFE Magazine has an archive of more than 10,000,000 photographs from the 1750’s to present day. Only a fraction of these - around 10% - has ever been published but now they’re up online thanks to a joint effort between themselves Google.

I’m sure I’m not the only writer who instinctively searches for “graffiti” when any new search engine like this comes along (followed by the the usual “hobbit golden shower nipple clamp” stuff, naturally).

Some Aussie douche bag gets busted by his face book profile when he pulls a sickie.

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.

from 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.”
