THIS WEEK, EVENT organisers, DJs, and club-goers were incensed after the Government announced that nightclubs would have to close by midnight from Thursday.
Closing the clubs at a time when they only start to get going outraged the night-time industry, who insisted that this wasn’t a curfew, as Ministers had suggested, but an outright closure.
Coppers, Pygmalion and other popular club venues then announced that they would open earlier to be able to run their business – as one journalist put it, sure it gets dark at 4.30pm these days anyway.
So to mark the week where there was such a focus on the time, here’s a quiz about pop culture that references midnight.

Good captions Michelle!
Thanks! Glad you liked them.
Captions are hilarious Michelle, all we’re missing is a ‘Careful Now’=)
Great captions…..but i thought #12 could be “ah feck….I forgot to get him to sign my iPad”
To the nearest second, i wonder how long it took Bill to realise he was surrounded by clowns.
I’m sure he was pre-warned
Enda “so bill im organising a whip round for this imf bailout thibg, any chance of a few quid”
Enda resorting to begging from the Gates foundation charity??

Pic 9 – hey Bill come back, there was a little favour I wanted to ask, ( Enda ‘embarrassment to Ireland’ Kenny)

Nice suit Enda how much did that cost me?

Best thing you could do for children!
Yes indeed, Bill is working hard to get world population under control whether we like it or not. One world government too. Sterilisation not a problem. Nice fella is Bill.
At least the door porter gave him a nice wave off.

Bill Gates clearly admitted this agenda at this TED speech
Nice series of pics. It’s good for Ireland PR to see Gates visiting.
Bill Gates is in the opinion of many a dangerous man – aslo he is afgainst Trade Uions . I know some trade unionist have come in for what appears to be well founded criticism . That does not mean Trade Unions are not very necessary .
Bill gates is closly associated with Monsanto – and anyone who thinks Monsanto have the people of any country interests at heart needs to re-examine things .

the effect of monsanto in India has been bad – very bad .

Bill Gates is a interesting business man…
“At this present historical juncture, neoclassical free-market economic doctrines are the favored means of promoting capitalism by business and political elites. In many respects, this neoliberal dogma has been adopted by a sizable proportion of the citizenry of the world’s most powerful countries, arguably against the citizenry’s own best interests. This widespread internalisation, but not necessarily acceptance, by the broader populous of the economic theories that consolidate capitalist hegemony over the global market did not happen naturally, but actually required a massive ongoing propaganda campaign to embed itself in the minds of the masses. The contours of this propaganda offensive have been well described by Alex Carey who fittingly observed that: “The twentieth century has been characterised by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy.” [2]
There are many reasons why corporate giants engage in liberal philanthropic endeavors: one is to have a direct influence on political decisions through what has been termed political philanthropy [3], but another important reason is that such charitable efforts help cultivate a positive image in the public’s mind that serves to deflect criticism while also helping expand their market share. However, although liberal foundations like the Gates Foundation may engage in ostensibly ‘progressive’ activities, this does not mean that the capitalist enterprises from which their endowments arise (e.g. Microsoft) refrain from engaging in common antidemocratic business practices. So while the Gates Foundation directs some of its resources to progressive grassroots initiatives, its corporate benefactor actually works to create fake grassroots organisations (otherwise known as astroturf groups) to actively lobby through covert means to protect corporate power.”
