Don't Stop till you bid enough!

We’ve all heard the stories at this stage about how Michael Jackson is broke. They seem to be true because he’s putting his stuff up for auction in April.

The contents of his Neverland auction, including the Neverland Fire truck (yes, a real one!) will be sold off in the auction at Juliens’s Auctions in Beverley Hills. It will include a huge array of Peter Pan memorabilia (surprise, surprise), a vast collection of arcade games and even lifesize Batman, Spiderman and Superman figures. He even has the original car used in the film “Driving Miss Daisy”.

The catalogue is a fantastic insight into Michael Jackson’s life but when you look through it, it’s hard not to feel a little bit sorry for him – this is all his personal stuff being sold off. How would you feel if it was you?


Happy Shopping!!
Liam

What a Waste!

I was in a shop in town earlier today and noticed this.....


Yes that IS a HEATER DIRECTLY OVER THE OPEN DOOR!

Now I've seen (or rather felt) these in hundreds of other places before - but it just dawned on me today - what a stupid waste of energy!

Why is it done? I assume to give customers a quick "blast" of heat as they enter the premises.

Shouldn't there be a law against this kind of stupidity?!

Avoid the Asteroid...

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Astronomers have made another "boo boo".

Initially they thought Asteroid 1999 RQ36 (why the stupid name?) would harmlessly pass us by. Alas, revised calculations say there's now a chance, albeit slim, that this ugly hunk of rock could strike Earth between 2169 and 2199.

Great. At least we have time to warn the grandkids. That's if the recession doesn't get us first.

I'm off to slip into my sandwich board and walk the streets of Dublin....

Happy Monday!
