Ouch!

Rumour has reached us that one of the assailants in a recent gun attack also managed to put himself into hospital by shooting himself in the 'privates' during the get away!

For those less familiar with recent events in Belfast, there has been a low level conflict rising between rival Loyalist paramilitaries over the last few weeks. For background, see here.

Anyone familiar with the plot line of Colin Bateman's novel and subsequent film, 'Divorcing Jack', or Martin Lynch's early plays will know that the tragedy of Northern Ireland, contains its own rich seam of black comedy.

And of course fact is no stranger than fiction!

Update: another Ouch!, from Australia this time. Thanks to Iain and Chris of Junius.
