Happy 50th to giving your boss's birthday party a swerve.
From thisdayinmusic.com:
29 Sep 1976
Enjoying his own birthday celebrations singer Jerry Lee Lewis accidentally shot his bass player Norman Owens in the chest. Lewis had been blasting holes in an office door. Owens survived but sued his boss.

I hadn't realised there's a food hall planned for the Guinness Quarter development. I make that five such facilities currently in development hell in the city centre. Truly, Dublin leads the world in vapourware culinary experiences. www.dublininquirer.com/construction...

Start of construction at Guinness Quarter is near, says developer – as it seeks tweaks to planning permission
Proposed changes include dropping three-bedroom homes, in favour of more smaller ones in the block of future social housing.

It must be hard enough moving to Ireland to take up a challenging new job without the endless stupid jokes about roll call.
"Anne Shaw has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the National Transport Authority (NTA) and will take up her position in November. The announcement was made by NTA Chairperson Peter Strachan today.

Anne Shaw is currently Executive Director of Transport for West Midlands in the UK."

"Anne Shaw" is a homophone of the Irish word anseo, meaning "here" or "present". It's how schoolchildren answer their names in roll call.

Always knew these right wing grifters wanted to drag us back to the past but never realised that with their “repeatedly do something moronic then get their incomprehensibly gullible online fans to bail them out” schtick the very specific past they’re after is craft beer in 2016.

I am going to take a cue from Ashurbanipal and start writing my CV like this. (From Selena Wisnom's The Library of Ancient Mesopotamia and the Making of History.)
I learned the craft of the sage Adapa, the secret and hidden lore of all the scribal arts. I am able to recognise celestial and terrestrial omens and can discuss them in an assembly of scholars. I am capable of arguing with expert diviners about the series called 'If the liver is a mirror image of the heavens'. I can
resolve complex mathematical divisions and multiplications that do not have an easy solution. I have read cunningly written texts in obscure Sumerian and Akkadian that are difficult to interpret. I have carefully examined inscriptions on stone from before the Deluge that are sealed, stopped up, and confused.

Two pizzas: one pepperoni with blue cheese and olives, one prosciutto and basil, at Zero Zero Pizza, Kimmage, Dublin. It's great; you should go. They've just expanded the dining room. God I hope it doesn't close. There's literally nothing else good around here. I need it.

#CultureNight's culture 4 is strictly for my fellow Luigi Malone's superfans.
The dining room of Boeuf Steak-Burger in Temple Bar, Dublin. It used to be a theme restaurant, on no particular theme, called Luigi Malone's. I went there a lot.A card on the table reads "Want more chicken wings or frites? Just ask your server. It's bottomless!"Neon lights on the wall say "Yes bottomless wings baby".Two scoops of ice cream in a cone, outside the restaurant, where it's raining. It's what they do in lieu of dessert. It is not optional.
