Oh, sir.
Sprightly naturopath Ronnie Plant (no giggling) breaks off from a set of pushups to wag a wrinkle-free digit at antiobiotic-atin’ pill-poppin’ potatoheads, bagging himself an impressive brace of Catweazles.

Taking the rock out of the shamrock.
And an ‘L’ out of Marshall.
Nicky Byrne with Emily Shelton and Joseph Jennings and a vintage Citroen on O’Connell Street, Dublin, this morning.
Mr Byrne has been appointed Grand Marshall of the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin on March 17.
Grand so.

Real fans of Regular Show will already be wearing theirs.
The TSA is changing its infamously strict rules regarding knives, sports equipment and ‘novelty bats’ on planes.
You can leave those explosives, firearms and nuclear materials at home.
Etc.
For the night what’s in it.
Nelson’s Pillar, O’Connell Street, Dublin, March 8, 1966
Most audacious previous attempt?
On 29 October 1955, a group of nine University College Dublin students locked themselves inside the pillar and tried to melt the statue with flamethrowers.
Good times.

I heard yesterday that the Harbour Bar, Bray, [Co Wicklow] World’s greatest pub, is being sold. So, I mailed the owner to express my condolence and see if I could get my painting back that they had hanging on the wall. But to my dismay some skeeveen has just nicked it!
I know you usually reserve this slot for stolen bikes. Its an arse painting, the Harbour is the only place with balls enough to have this hanging up.
If you stole it please return either it or a bottle of single malt Scotch to the harbour for me (name and contact details are on back of said painting) in the next few weeks before the sale goes through please.
Anyone?
Model?
And year?
