After reading this (quite entertaining) thread on boards.ie and this article on “Chuggers” - charity muggers - you know, those gimps that follow you down the street even though you’ve already declined their offer to support [insert cause here] - I think we should start a Make Chuggers History campaign.
We could have a live8 type event too, with the stars of the music world coming together in solidarity against these hi-vis vest wearing, commission-earning wankers.

The Irish Independent (bugmenot required) reports today that RTE’s “You’re a Star” will no longer be used to select Ireland’s Eurovision entrants, as all three entrants selected by the show failed miserably.
Sadly, they’re not canning the show altogether, as they make lots of money out of the telephone/text voting and it continues to get good ratings.

As I read over at TCAL, Electronic arts are releasing 26 games during the rest of this year. Only ONE game is an original, the rest are all sequels, and sequels of sequels, and so on.

Good to see that they’re making the effort to publish some innovative, new and original titles.
Gimps.

I wonder if you could rig a whole house with piping, structured cabling style, for easy bong access in any room?

Osama Bin Laden’s right hand man, Ayman al-Zawahri is this week’s lucky winner. He wins a romantic night out on the town with the enigmatic Derek Mooney. Give him a round of applause.

This week, in the usual video-on-Al-Jazeera style, he threatened more attacks on London. What a bell-end.
