Pic of the Day (above)
The Blades flying display team at yesterday’s Farnborough Airshow in Farnborough, England. The airshow is one of the biggest of its kind and though it traditionally features announcements of military jet orders, the recent slashing of government defence budgets has reduced the proliferation of such deals at current and future air shows.

Today JOE has been feeling…flushed.
Well, not exactly – it’s really just a terrible pun to tell you about JOE writer Robert Carry’s interesting report on the world’s weirdest toilets. Whilst we Irish are happy with our ‘Armitage Shanks’ porcelain beauties, there’s still an unknown world out there, with ‘squatter’ toilets, ‘pig toilets’ and Japanese high-tech numbers that feature massage options and water jet adjustments – nope, we’re not pulling your chain on that one.
Tonight’s Telly
Pick of the night: My Pet Shame, Sky2, 9.00pm.
This is exactly why Sky2 exists – helping you catch you with brilliant shows you might have missed on Sky1. Tonight’s repeat of the premier episode of My Pet Shame is essential viewing for any pet lover – as Sky showcase some of the most Britian’s most embarrassing pets. We don’t want to spoil too much but suffice to say, only one show tonight boasts an appearence from Moog the farting cat.
Movie pick: Rambo, TV3, 9:00pm
Many people doubted Sylvester Stallone could truly revive the Rambo franchise in today’s sanitised action movie genre, yet the 2008 release of the simply-titled Rambo proved everyone wrong. Featuring explosive mines, giant sniper rifles and more deaths than the previous three series titles combined, Rambo is an absolute necessity for any manly man. Grab yourself a yorkie an a steak soaked in beer and prepare for a wild ride at 9pm.

Feel slightly sorry for Thierry Henry
New York Red Bulls signing Thierry Henry has been doing the rounds on US TV, and may have been subjected to the worst football interview of all time from New York TV station Fox 5. The female anchor’s opening World Cup question is one of the most hilariously ignorant questions anyone could ask a footballer, and it gets even more embarrassing afterwards, as the anchors discuss ‘blow-outs’ and ‘Bronx cheers’ to the bemused French forward. It’s still hard to forgive Henry’s World Cup play-off handball, but nobody should be subjected to a painful interview like this.
