FREAKY DEAKY - PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

Ok, this is the hottest new 'Blair Witch Project' -esque movie. We are alone at home and weird freaky things are happening. Do you believe?

Katie Featherston, Micah Sloat, Mark Fredrichs, Amber Armstrong, Ashley Palmer.
After a young, middle class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban starter tract house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be somehow demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially when they sleep. Or try to.

DVP MOVEMBER CHALLENGE

As Victor Meldrew would put it: "I don't believe it!"

Would you believe but the boy with the beard lost the Mo growing challenge hmmmm well maybe starting a week late didn't help..clearly I overestimated my facial follical growing abilities (and underestimated Phil 'The Dark Horse' Bourke's) it IS getting there but might take another week to look as humdinger as I had been hoping for...

Still if you are impressed at our efforts maybe consider donating something on my Movember home page here

Soooo maybe I lost the Movember Mo Growing contest but I'm pretty sure I won the Zoolander Blue Steel Face-Off challenge at the fashion show last week - view the vid below to see for yourself..

Hang on has Phil even see the movie? Cos that's the worst Blue Steel face effort I've ever seen ha ha! I win so that means score is 17-16 to me...when is this going to end and with what??

VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - BRIDE CAUGHT KISSING BEST MAN ON CCTV

Originally posted on Wedinator a site dedicated to showcasing wedding photo disasters from around the world, the image has now been reposted on hundreds of blogs across the web. The unnamed woman, believed to be Russian, is shown getting out of a limousine wearing a white dress, the top half of which consists of two small, strategically positioned semicircles over a dramatic embonpoint. Predictably the internet’s fashion commentators have not been uniformly complimentary. One, the author of a blog post called “The Five Sluttiest Wedding Dresses”, describes it as “the equivalent of the groom wearing a codpiece”. Others have wondered whether the choice of a white dress is perhaps misleading, while others make the inevitable puns: “They make a lovely pair” seems to be the most common. Wedinator, which has been running since February, includes among its other catastrophic nuptials a video of a public proposal gone hideously wrong , and CCTV footage apparently showing a bride cheating with the groom’s best man during the reception.

WORLD'S WORST PHOTO-FIT GETS THE GUY

Bolivian police managed to track down a man wanted for murder even though they were working from what has been described as the world's worst photo-fit. At least one suspect was arrested following the release of the photo-fit, left. Though, in keeping with Bolivian laws, he could not be identified. Instead, media sites blocked his face with images of the bizarre photo-fit. A taxi driver, named in Bolivian media as Rafael Vargas, was murdered in what police said was either a drugs-related hit or a crime of passion. In March, police found his body, which had been stabbed 11 times before being burnt. Officials issued an appeal for help, and one neighbour drew a picture of what she believed the suspect looked like - though many other people have said her drawing resembles nothing more than the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. The picture, more reminiscent of a child's school drawing than a piece of forensic evidence, consists of a pair of eyes, lopsided lips, a broomstick-shaped nose, and straight eyebrows topped with hair resembling a thatched roof. A newsreader presenting the image on Bolivian television has become a Youtube sensation. And while viewers have ridiculed the crudely-drawn image, it reportedly helped police arrest a suspect. At least one suspect was arrested following the release of the photo-fit. Though, in keeping with Bolivian laws, he could not be identified. Instead, media sites blocked his face with images of the bizarre photo-fit.

FURRY WISDOM

AREN'T THEY LOVELY JUMPERS...

On Saturday 21st November of this year the Lovely Jumper Fest swung into action. Over 150 people attended despite the atrocious weather and local flooding, not by the Spailpin thankfully!! They came in their wellies, caps and of course their lovely jumpers, cardigans, geansai and even the odd vest. A few pints were had while watching some entertaining jumper videos and then some lovely competitions were run to garner a few extra quid. These included The Loveliest Jumper contest (who found the loveliest jumper), Jumper On (how many jumpers can you put on in one minute), Bra Off (how quickly you can take you're bra off under you're jumper) and The Lovely Jumper Auction (people in lovely jumpers auctioning themselves off for a pint on the night with the highest bidder).
LOVELY JUMPER FEST IN AN SPALPIN FANACH

The Loveliest Jumper contest was hotly contested. After scouring the crowd for the loveliest geansai of the night, the JPC had a hard time narrowing it down to 6 finalists. The 3 lads sported some lovely jumpers which haven't seen the light of day in donkies. The winner of the mens, Mike O'Donovan bravely wore a blue number with 2 giant floral creations in the middle, Shane something came in a modified classic aran jumper and was a close second with Ciaran Forde in a tartan number in 3rd place. Likewise the ladies outdid themselves with the eventual winner Marion wearing what can only be called the "Christmassesiest" jumper we've ever seen, covered from head to waist in tinsel, bows and other Christmas paraphenalia she was a shoe in. The runners up Elaine Buckley, who wore her old Scoil Mhuire jumper with some lovely rossetas hand knit and sewn in and Claire McCormack who was gave her best Peig Sayers impression in her lovely jumper.
JUMPERS ON COMPETITION IN PROGRESS

Gillian McCormack was the eventual winner of Jumpers On. Her nimble fingers and slight frame meant she managed to fit on a whopping 7 lovely jumpers in the space of a minute, now that's fast!! When the pile of jumpers of stage ran out, her quick thinking (of robbing a jumper from nearby audience member) meant she stole the limelight for the two boys, Niall O'Rahilly Drew and Colum Brosnan who were close behind her with 6 jumpers each. The other 2 poor girls, Eva and Marie suffered bad luck picking the smallest and awkwardist jumpers from the floor and forgot that to be "officially on" both arms and neck had to be through the appropriate holes.
WINNER OF THE LOVELIEST JUMPER CONTEST

"IT IS A LOVELY JUMPER I SWEAR"

Denise Fallon was the clear winner of the Bra Off competition as she managed to whip off her bra under her jumper in a record 7.2 seconds. Her regular GAA training sessions meant she had the upper hand on the other girls on this one! Brid Browne claimed she was a close second but some of the girls (Mardy O'Riordan, Yvonne Moloney, Elaine Buckley) didn't seem to be making too much of an effort to win for some reason. Regardless Denise was delighted with her performance and credited her local Kanturk football team for her win, as they are changed into their training gear in no time at all.
LOVELY JUMPER CAKE

The Lovely Jumper Auction saw some ridiculous bidding ensue as 5 lovely volunteers got up on stage. People couldn't wait for the chance to have a pint with the lovely auctionees and bids of between 25 - 50euro were made for Ray Brosnan, Aoife Kelleher, Denise Fallon, Des Brosnan and Eimear Murphy. I'm sure their individual jumpers played a part on the bidding as well as the lovely moustaches sported by Ray and Des for Movember.
SOME LOVELY JUMPERS

The 50p cake shop and a selection of item from the RNLI were on sale all night and lovelingly promoted and sold by Eve McLoughlin. 50p Jumper Confessions were also being given by Fr. O'Regan and Fr. Hannon throughout the night in case any jumpers sins were committed, such as turning up in a sweater or god forbid without a lovely jumper! Rumour has it that several Hail Jumpers and a Glory Be to the Jumper had to be doled out. How many sweets in a jar? and a very impromptu jumper spanking session also took place and brought in a good few pennies.
BOYS IN THEIR LOVELY JUMPERS

Thanks to generous donations by everyone on the night and donations from our online website (www.mycharity.ie/event/lovelyjumperfest) a whopping 2,500 was raised. We're very happy to say that the very first Lovely Jumper Fest was a roaring success. A big thank you to everyone who attended, those who donated online and through sponsorship cards. We'd also like to say a big thank you to some local businesses who supported us and donated raffle prizes for the night such as Blarney Woolen Mills, NORD Carpentry Services, The Pavillion, Bobs Bar Kanturk, Primetime Washington St, O'Riordans Shop and Petrol Station Kanturk, Daniel O'Donnell and Garrettstown Surf School. A big lovely thank you too, to RedFM for plugging the event, Plugd Records for selling tickets and of course An Spailpin Fanach for hosting it.
JUMPER CONFESSIONS

So to keep the show on the road, or the jumper on the hanger so to speak we've set up a Facebook page if anyone would like to find out more information, to see some lovely jumper photographs or to keep tabs on whats happening for next year. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?id=100000483649513&ref=nf
