It’s the new ‘Horse Outside’.
Slot machine heir Andy Quirke’s take on Dublin’s northside-southside divide has racked up nearly 70,000 views on YouTube and climbed the iTune charts like a 15-year-old on Dutch Gold.
Hic.

Four hundred travellers stopped off in Cologne over the weekend.
It all kicked off.
As German newspaper Express (via Google Translation) explains:
Sure, they let it ‘crash into the city’, but who are the ‘Irish tinkers’?

Darth roasted blend, endorsed by Java the Hutt, etc.
Get a taste of the Dark Side with this rich hand roasted coffee. Three diverse coffees and two different roasts create a full-bodied, sharp, cup with spicy undertones and smoky, dark-roasted complexity. Vader’s Dark Roast Coffee is commonly enjoyed by Dark Lords of the Sith while planning new Death Star construction, but give into your anger, sample a steaming cup and you will be rewarded with power beyond your imagination.
Go the Fuck To Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing off to dreamland. Honest, profane, and affectionate, Adam Mansbach’s verses and Ricardo Cortés’ illustrations perfectly capture the familiar–and unspoken–tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night, and open up a conversation about parenting in the process. Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the Fuck to Sleep is a perfect gift for parents new, old, or expectant. Here is a sample verse:
The cats nestle close to their kittens now.
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You’re cozy and warm in your bed, my dear
Please go the fuck to sleep.
Boing Boing
He was famous.
How famous, you say? This famous.

There’s always one Bafta nomination that makes you do a double take. This year it’s Mrs Brown’s Boys, which gets the nod in the sitcom category at the expense of shows such as Friday Night Dinner, Grandma’s House, the Inbetweeners, Him & Her, and, most notably, Miranda, which aren’t nominated. Perhaps the judges thought it was mandatory to include an actual joke in the comedy nominations. (See also: Come Fly With Me’s nomination in comedy programme). Fellow nominees Rev, The Trip and Peep Show must be hoping Mrs Brown’s Boys inclusion ups their chances of winning. Because let’s be honest, it definitely couldn’t beat them. Could it?
