Finding Joy - Series 1& 2 DVD released on 17th April

And to celebrate we have a great competition for you and a copy on DVD to give away.

Synopsis: 
IRISH SUPERSTAR Amy Huberman (Cold Feet, Striking Out, Harry Wild) returns with her uproarious comedy series Finding Joy, which she both pens and stars in as a journalist turned accidental social media influencer. Following the side-splitting first series, Finding Joy Series 2 will be available on DVD and digital on 17 April 2023, courtesy of Acorn Media International. The Series 1 & 2 DVD Box Set will also be available on the same date, providing plenty of comedy capers just in time for some Easter entertainment.
 
Joy (Huberman) is back with a bang in Finding Joy Series 2. Encouraged by her stint as an internet sensation, she has started her own video channel and is leaning into her newfound fame. Hoping to make it big as an online influencer, Joy soon realises that attracting subscribers and sponsors is harder than it seems...
 
From getting in touch with her teenage self, babysitting for bestie Olivia, tracing her roots, and dealing with romantic interests, both wanted and unwanted, old and new, Joy is committed to living life to the fullest. But amidst the constant pressure of producing enjoyable content, the glossy lifestyle she desperately wants quickly loses its shine.

The first series introduces us to Joy ­– a young journalist who is perfectly happy with her ordinary and orderly life, that is until she’s dumped by her boyfriend Aidan (Lochlann O'Mearáin – Vikings). As if things couldn’t get any worse, her world is completely turned upside down when she’s summoned to step into the position of the media corporation's sexy and adventurous lifestyle guru and Ireland's most beloved vlogger, Flora the Happy Hunter (Laura Whitmore - Love Island presenter). All the while her judgemental dog, also called Aidan (Peter McDonald – Dublin Murders), gives us his own take on his owner’s life.

Thrust into the limelight; Joy is catapulted headlong into the unknown and unwelcome world of social media stardom...  With straight-talking manager Charlene (Jenny Rainsford – Fleabag) and quirky new roommate Amelia (Aisling Bea – This Way Up, Living with Yourself) at her side, Joy pushes herself outside of her comfort zone, all in the name of learning about the crazy, uncomfortable and new-age methods people use to find – well, joy.  

With a refreshingly real, flawed, relatable and undeniably loveable lead, you’ll certainly be Finding Joy in this delightfully entertaining and downright hilarious sitcom.

These Stupid Trucks are Literally Killing Us

 


Engineers, planners, politicians, and advocates all around the world are trying to improve their cities and build more great walkable places with viable alternatives to driving. But there's a looming trend that could undo all of that hard work: the growth of SUVs and light trucks.

This could all be solved if these pathetic suburbanites could just buy small cars, station wagons, or minivans instead.

COMPETITION: Win Harry Wild Series One DVD


Harry Wild Series One DVD released on 17th April

And to celebrate we have a great competition for you and 3 copies on DVD to give away.

Synopsis: 
MEET HARRY WILD ­ in a delightfully charming, effortlessly engaging, refreshingly modern murder mystery series. The inimitable Emmy® and Golden Globe-winning® actress Jane Seymour (The Kominsky Method, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman) plays the eponymous lead – a literature professor turned sleuth – and also co-executive produced the must-see crime caper.
 
When retired literature professor Harriet – AKA Harry Wild (Seymour) – becomes the victim of a mugging, it inadvertently triggers a chain of events that leads to a completely new lease of life. Shaken by the crime, she reluctantly agrees to recover at the home of her son, Charlie (Kevin Ryan – Guilt, Copper), a senior police detective in the Dublin police, and his wife, Orla (Amy Huberman – Finding Joy).

In need of something to relieve the boredom, Harry stumbles on some murder investigation case files belonging to her son and starts to read with interest. When she offers her take on the crime, her unwanted help is immediately rebuffed by Charlie… so, Harry decides to find the killer herself.

Turning amateur sleuth, she dives headlong into the case and by chance, she crosses paths again with her mugger – Fergus Reid (Rohan Nedd – Whitstable Pearl). But instead of turning him in, Harry sees great potential in the troubled teen and enlists him as her sidekick. Despite their differences, Harry and Fergus quickly become a dynamic crime-busting team, solving new mysteries at every turn.

With a dazzling lead, quirky cases, light-hearted humour and joyful characters, Harry Wild is the sleuthing sensation we’ve been waiting for.

‘Dude, I Blew Zero!’: College Athlete Sues Iowa Cops for DUI Arrest

 


A college student has filed a lawsuit against three Iowa police officers and the city of Newton after a DUI arrest in August 2022. Bodycam footage shows Tayvin Galanakis, a freshman football player at Willian Penn University, being arrested after performing sobriety tests and blowing zero on a breathalyzer test. “Dude, I blew zero!” The 19-year-old shouts as he’s placed into handcuffs. Galanakis was released later that night after police performed further tests to confirm his sobriety. After posting the bodycam on his own social media accounts, Galanakis was convinced by supporters to pursue legal action against the officers. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie discusses the arrest and lawsuit with Galanakis.

Afroman - Will You Help Me Repair My Door (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

 


LATE LAST AUGUST, members of the Sheriff’s Department in Adams County, Ohio busted into a home, armed with rifles and wearing full tactical gear. They’d obtained a warrant on suspicion of drug trafficking and kidnapping — but after smashing down the door and scouring every inch of the house, the cops found neither drugs nor any signs of any kidnappings. They nevertheless confiscated a few items, including about $5,000 in cash, which was later returned (after an independent investigation was required to prove the full amount was there) to its owner — the lovable, weed-loving rapper, Afroman. 


Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Will you help me repair my gate?
Will you help me repair my door?
Did you find what you was looking for?
Will you help me repair my gate and door?

[Verse 1]
Would you like a slice of lemon pound cake?
You can take as much as you want to take
There must be a big mistake
Would you like to have a slice of my lemon pound cake?
The warrant said "Narcotics and kidnapping"
The warrant said "Narcotics and kidnapping"
Are you kidding? I make my money rapping
Why does the warrant say "Narcotics?" (Well, I know narcotics)
But why kidnapping?
Let me ask you something, Officer

[Verse 2]
Any kidnapping victims inside my suit pockets?
Are therе any kidnapping victims inside my suit pockets?
You crooked cops need to stop it
Thеre are no kidnapping victims in my suit pockets
Let me ask you another question
Is there a thousand pounds of weed in my suit pockets?
Is there a thousand pounds of weed in my suit pockets?
You crooked cops need to stop it
There's not a million pounds of weed in my suit pockets
Let me ask you something else

[Verse 3]
Any kidnapping victims inside my CDs?
Any kidnapping victims inside my CDs?
The Adams County Sheriff's Department, you can get these
There are no kidnapping victims in my, in my CDs
How many pounds of weed are inside my CDs?
How many pounds of weed are inside my CDs?
Adams County Sheriff's, you can get these
How many pounds of weed did you find in my CDs?

[Verse 4]
Why are you stealing my money?
Why are you stealing my money?
You represent the law and it's funny
You're stealing my legal-worked-hard-everyday-paid-taxes money
The sheriff disconnected my cameras
The sheriff disconnected my cameras
The sheriff should be locked up in slammers
The Adams County Sheriff's Department disconnected my cameras
You might also like

[Verse 5]
Did you have to traumatize my kids?
Did you have to traumatize my kids?
Did you have to traumatize my kids?
Did you have to traumatize my kids?
Will you pay me for doing me wrong?
Will you pay me for doing me wrong?
Will you pay me for doing me wrong?
Or will I have to get paid from this song?

[Outro]
Aye, you think they gon' buy this, man?

‘Folded man’ stands up straight after 28 years following surgery that broke bones

 


A man suffered from a form of ankylosing spondylitis so severe that his upper body folded onto his thighs. Three parts of his body were ‘connected’ – his chin to his chest, his breastbone to his pubic bone, and his face to his thigh bone. After undergoing four operations at Shenzhen University General Hospital, in which his bones were literally broken and reconstructed, he finally stood straight – after 28 years.
