Tomorow in The Dubliner magazine, we take a furtive glance at the city’s naughtiest parts in our hottest sex issue ever. Rosanna Davison invites the camera and the tape recorder into her boudoir. We also reveal the celebrities we lust after most, and expose the darker side of Dubliner’s sex lives, with an intimate tete-a…-tete with the boldest swingers in town … FREE with the Evening Herald!

Oh.

(Thoughtful piece on Justin Keating, out of picture)

Of course it is.

Perfectly natural.

He’s not Jesus.

And she’s over 18.

Eve Hewson (19) stars and acts in the new video (actually six-minute mini-movie) from Irish pop trio, The Script.

After the annoyingly loud ad.

‘For The First Time’ deals with the pain of unemployment and emigration.

And how that pain is felt by very good-looking people.

This is how it looked in 1985.

Yes. Back to the Future is back! In the the Future (that is now!)!  Well, at least in the cinemas. Following in the other great scifi trilogy’s footsteps, we’re getting an airbrushed version of our memories.

Release Date (Ireland): October 1.

Sure if you’re doing that, you may as well put an Ewok in the Delorean.

Oh.



From today’s Irish Times:

“There are as many reasons for typos as there are actual errors: time pressure, inattention to detail, no teaching of grammar in schools, and the fact that lots of people have better things to fill their minds with than linguistic precision and rules.”

Translation: Our then management (some of them above) paid €50 million for a property website (owned by estate agents) just as the bubble (which we helped to inflate) was at bursting point. We’ve let some people go, standards have slipped and we are now reduced to writing disingenuous articles about how typos are more of an existential problem than a consequence of under-resourced newsrooms.
