Our caravan that we use for festivals was nicked from our friend’s garden in Foxrock, Dublin. We’re talking to the Gardai but it would be brilliant if your readers could keep an eye out for it.

The top photo is actually one I found online as we don’t have a side picture of our van. The bottom pic is the actual van. It’s a 4 berth, Dalesman 520et touring van.

It’s about 10 years old. Distinguishing features: Car reg written in marker on the back; Sticker of a pumpkin on the front window; Welsh flag sticker on the back. Electronic wires on front are broken and have been repaired with tape. Thanks.

An Irish skateboard documentary? You better believe it. Directed by JJ Rolfe.

The initial driving force behind the scene was a proprietor of a unique skate shop in North Dublin inner city – ‘Clive’s of Hill Street’. From here, Clive Rowen single-handedly progressed the skate scene through the building of primitive ramps at the shop before graduating to a temporary skate park in the Top Hat Ballroom in Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin….an exploration of a sport trying to legitimise itself against the backdrop of 80s Ireland.

Watch the ‘What Is Love’ sequence from the classic ‘Roxbury Guys’ skit on Saturday Night Live for 10 hours straight.

No? How about 10 straight hours of Rick Rolling then?

Oh suit yourselves.
