“I know you don’t often do this but I was wondering if you could please help? I have stupidly left my black Ted Baker men’s bag on a bench along the Grand Canal close to Percy Place, Dublin 4, just up from the school house yesterday afternoon at 3.45pm. It had a pair of gold and black quarts earrings which I made for my mom’s 60th birthday; and a grey apron with the name and emblem of the restaurant that I work in, Juniors on Bath Avenue. It’s my mother’s birthday on Saturday and I’m devastated. If there is any chance I can get them back I would be very grateful! There is a reward available.”

Bring it back! Bring it Back! Bring it back!

Seriously though, don’t ever bring it back.

KeoghsShamrock&SourCreamCrisps50gGF - Copy

Nothing quite says St Patrick’s Day like Keogh’s Shamrock and Sour Cream crisps.

After the parade we like nothing better than getting out of our wet clothes and crunching into several bags of the only “on-farm produced, hand cooked artisan potato crisps” in Ireland.

Often Bodger will affix a Keogh’s Shamrock & Sour Cream crisp to his fleece for wholesome ‘national day’ laughter.

Keogh’s have sold 3/4 millions bags since launching the patriotic savoury in 2012.

AND we have TWO hampers packed with the shamrock crisps to giveaway to TWO readers ANYWHERE on the planet.

All Keogh’s want is YOU to create you own ORIGINAL crisp flavour.

Complete this sentence.

The AWWA Sky Whale – a rather wonderful concept for a passenger airliner envisioned by Spanish industrial designer Oscar Viñals.

The plane – which can seat 755 passengers on three decks –  has a blended wing design to reduce drag, emissions and fuel consumption with internal turbines generating electric power for the hybrid engines. The wings rotate up to 45 degrees to assist manoeuvring.

We want it to be real. You want it to be real.

The Beluga Airbus can’t be the only whale in the sky.
