Happens all the time, you’re away on holiday and you wander up to Samir in the news stall and look for a copy of the Irish Times. “I’m sorry my friend, we don’t have it” then you have to choke him as in the picture.
For some reason this reminds me of one of the famous Micheál O Muircheartaigh stories told during the downtime in a match. He said he was in New York and approached a Morroccan gentleman at a new stand and asked him did he have the latest edition of “The Kerryman” newspaper. The vendor replies “Do you want the North Kerry edition or the South Kerry edition?”
O Muircheartaigh : “He had both, so I bought both”

Typical banter which is not actually true.

The Irish Times don’t get it. The only reason you go looking for the paper when out foreign is to give you the excuse of getting away from your family for an hour or so. Then you just buy whatever’s got enough reading in it to last for two or so pints…

In some places the done thing is to repeat “kali ma!” while you rip out their heart.

Here here, who doesn’t want to enjoy poor journalism, ever decreasing standards and repeated press releases while on their holidays !

This is true of almost all newspapers worlwide however.
What a lazy stock photo execution that ad is. Cheap and crap.
Could have been so much better with a commissioned art directed shot and a bit of retouching.
Yer aul wan's cooking
Dah costs muney. Would you say the number of subscriptions they’d get from people going through the airport would pay the 5k+ that what you’re talking about would cost? On a one-off execution for the airport? Yer mad ye are.
Gock:
Anyone see their unsettling bit of brown-nosing about “The Queen”, (of England)? Apparently we all absolutely love her and we owe her so much because Trinity College is named after who she is named after and sure isn’t she great for being capable of cracking a smile in Cork at that butcher’s joke after millions was spent to welcome her here. Seriously, what is wrong with the Irish Times?

A dig at The Irish imes, for old times sake?
Why not makes a change from news for idiots (journal.ie)
Jaysus I tell you the journal are the daily mail of online rags.
The mail online is a fine upstanding news source in comparison.
: ) The Mail is suing Gawker:
“The Mail claims in the suit that this thorough evisceration of its supposed methods of business damaged its “reputation, goodwill, and business.””

that ad is very much up its own bottom.
