1. Ponydance are a comedic dance troupe, based in Belfast.
2. Broadsheet faves Doris/Magee made an award-winning movie about them.
3. Their new show plays in Dublin this Friday and Saturday, as part of the Dublin Dance Festival.
4. We’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to the Saturday performance, to the person who can best answer this question: How many dancers does it take to change a lightbulb? [Lines MUST close at 4.45pm]*
5. It’s enough to give modern dance a good name. Almost.

Borussia Dortmund’s rather brilliant anti-Nazi promo. To wit:
We at BVB make our position unequivocally clear. We will not tolerate any far-right disposition in our stadium. Intimidation and discrimination have no place at our ground. Should anyone have the misguided belief that they can misuse our sport and Borussia Dortmund to spread their inhumane propaganda, then they should be in no doubt: The schwarzgelb family will stand firm against them! It is the only way we can rid our stadia of such attitudes. Nazis and football do not go together!

A 5hp, 38mph electric golfcart modeled on Bale-era Batman’s ex-military hooptie.
Leather seats, four-link rear suspension, an iPad stand – none of these things will detract from that salmon-pink Pringle jumper you’ll be sporting at the wheel.
A mere $35,000 (€25.700) from Hammacher Schlemmer.
We’re great.
No really.
