Reads Shoot And Leaves

Admin at 5:12 pm March 18, 2014

Once a year during the 1970s and 1980s UK football magazine Shoot! generously featured the League of Ireland champions of the day.

Usually one page with poorly taken team shot above a typo-stuffed caption.

Good times.

Name those years (above) anyone?

Thanks for putting up our pic yesterday from Cannes. I wasn’t kidding when I said there would be madness later on. Monday night was mental in Cannes I enclose the proof!

Damn stylish, sensible-drinking hibernophiles…

Had Enough Rugby?

~~Fupp YES!~~ NEVER

We have TWO ‘posh’ seats to give away for Friday night’s game in the RDS, Ballsbridge, Dublin to see Leinster play Zebre.

Sadly It may be Brian-less.

Aaron informs us:

“I can’t see any of the lads [Irish team members] being in the squad, Brian O’Driscoll probably will be just sitting in the stands. Madigan may start though.. O’Driscoll will be starting v Toulon (down there) in the HCUP beside the fresh faced Dorce on April 6th – he should play his last game in May for Leinster.”

HOWEVER.

“The Zebre game is a great chance to catch a glimpse of how life after Brian will look. Also It’s an early K.O. (after work pints will never taste as good).”

Wedgie!

For a chance to win the tickets just complete this sentence:

If I was currently Brian O’Driscoll’s agent my advice to him would be ____________________________

Lines must close at ~~7.15pm~~ 8.15pm.

Why Vi Denies Pi

In case you missed it, last Friday (3/14) was Pi Day (in the US).

Mathematician Vi Hart was singularly unimpressed.

Cycling With Fergal

Admin at 4:06 pm March 18, 2014

Of this ‘parallel cycle’ with artist Fergal McCarthy, Paddy Cahill writes:

Soon after moving to Dublin Fergal developed a fascination with the river Liffey. During the 2008 economic meltdown, Fergal’s art project Liffeytown, comprising lifesize Monopoly houses floating on the Liffey, received worldwide attention, as it was seen to symbolize the state of the Irish economy. In another project, Fergal constructed a small island in the Liffey and lived there for a week. We went for a cycle with Fergal along the Liffey to discuss his newest idea: turning the Liffey Quays into a park, thereby replacing the current six lane motorway by a ‘Ribbon of Green’.
