Today we’ve got a drunken Nicolas Cage, foul-smelling hippie sorts and West Bank watermellons. Oh, and blood-shot eyeballs.
Pic of the Day: Ridding the world of Jewish watermelons.
Palestinian workers spoil watermelons grown in Israeli settlements which were confiscated in markets in the West Bank city of Jenin on May 18, 2010. The Palestinians went door-to-door with their campaign against products made in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, infuriating settlers who called it ‘an act of terrorism.’ (Photo: Saif Dahlah/AFP/Getty Images).
Tonight’s Telly
Pick of the night: Leaving Las Vegas, 9.05pm, TG4.
Rumour has it that Nicolas Cage slammed his way through two full bottles of gin prior to shooting the casino sequence in this movie. It was enough to earn him an Oscar and, probably, a bout of liver disease down the line. The story is about his alco character going to Vegas with the intention of drinking himself to death. However, his plans are ruined when an angel (hooker) intervenes.
More TV: More TV: Luther, 9pm, BBC One.
We’ve been following this hard-boiled drama here in JOE towers and we suggest you do the same. In tonight’s episode, a young mother is kidnapped and DCI John Luther reckons it’s the work of sinister occult aficionado Lucien Burgess who was implicated in the murder of another woman years before. Nothing to worry about – Luther is on the case lads. He’ll have it sorted before next week’s episode.
Sporting highlight: Millwall v Huddersfield Town, 7.30 Sky Sports 1.
We recommended yesterday that you flicked over to last night’s League One play-off between Swindon Town and Charlton Athletic and by God we hope you watched it. It was one of the best games of ball seen all season – and was eventually settled by a jaw-dropping penalty shoot-out. Here’s hoping that tonight’s League One play-off semi-final second leg between Millwall and Huddersfield Town will live up to the mark that’s been set.
Live Like JOE… Get back to nature
We have been reliably informed that too much overtime will kill you so with that in mind, JOE has decided to get back to nature. We’ve a healthy dislike for foul-smelling hippie sorts so we’re not talking about skipping showers, eating tofu and talking in slow motion. Nope – a holiday in Westport should do the trick. Check out our guide on what to do when way out West and sure we might see you there.
Mood Swingometer
Today we’re feeling… jaded.
Most of the lads at the JOE.ie office stumbled home at various inappropriate times over the weekend and although we managed to blast through Monday, it’s all starting to catch up with us. There are bloodshot eyeballs and hairy tongues all over the shop. Jaded isn’t the word.
The only thing keeping us going is the steady stream of cracking women passing through on our site. Our Lovely Lady today is our very own Una Healy, we’ve got a leaked video of Paris Hilton training for MMA (possibly naked, you’ll have to watch it to find out) and a gallery of former Corrie favourate Tina O’Brien who is JOE.ie’s Woman of the Day. How’s that for a mood swing. Started off jaded and ended up dying for our rock ‘n roll.
