   I think you need a trip to the beauty salon for some nail pampering :-)

      Yeah, what a durty hussy with her chipped nails.

         You’re like the Haley Joel Osment of Perceived Anti-Woman Slights.

            You’re like the Will Ferrell of funny put-downs

               Thanks!

               How surprisingly that you find him funny

               Don: I see women-haters
               Malcolm Crowe: In your dreams?
               [Don shakes her head no]
               Malcolm Crowe: While you’re awake?
               [Don nods]
               Malcolm Crowe: Women-haters like, in the Daily Mail, or the Sun?
               Don: Walking around like regular people. They don’t see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don’t know they’re women-haters.
               Malcolm Crowe: How often do you see them?
               Don: All the time. They’re everywhere.

               Yup, about as funny as Will
            5. Mani March 20, 2015 at 3:42 pm

               Aw!

            You’re sad Mani. Think you’re hilarious but you’re just projecting your insecurities. So obvious.

      Leave him alone.
   4. Sheila March 20, 2015 at 3:26 pm

      Ha! You’re right. Got them done almost two weeks ago… nail fail!
      1. Spaghetti Hoop March 20, 2015 at 3:28 pm

         Ah..it’s ‘our Sheila’. Don’t mind them…probably not a nail between them ;)
         1. Joe the Lion March 20, 2015 at 3:33 pm

            certainly not a bollock

            here you she was my Sheila first
         2. Sheila March 20, 2015 at 7:19 pm

            Our Sheila? Aw, you guys :)

   It was originally called Canalapalooza.
   Apparently, they were forced to change the name for legal reasons.

   It does sound fepping great!
   1. Kieran NYC March 20, 2015 at 5:05 pm

      MUCH better name!

         Following the court application for an injunction this morning DCC, its servants and agents are to restrain from using marketing or promoting the ‘Canalapalooza’ event and /or causing or allowing the intended event to occur using the word ‘palooza’. Any breach of that order would be in contempt of court.

   I despise hipsters and their cutesy bullcrap.
   1. Mani March 20, 2015 at 3:24 pm

      I’d try and cheer you up by saying there’s someone for everyone, but that’d mean there’s someone else like you sooooooo….maybe get a goldfish? Just put a lid on the bowl. Two weeks with you and it’ll be jumping out time.
      1. ahyeah March 20, 2015 at 3:40 pm

         Two weeks?
         1. Mani March 20, 2015 at 3:43 pm

            I think someone may have cut my bath salts with lithium.

   This looks great, fair play to the organisers. The two canals in Dublin are really great amenities and this is an original idea and delighted to see it happening on the Grand Canal (I live in Rathmines :P )

   On a side note I still ask myself every time I see things like this on this website why people bother letting Broadsheet know? Nobody in the comments section ever seems to have anything positive to say about anything. EVER.
   1. singingdetective March 20, 2015 at 3:33 pm

      -1
      1. ahyeah March 20, 2015 at 3:41 pm

         That can’t be done.
   2. Mikeyfex March 20, 2015 at 3:46 pm

      Ya, in fairness, Sheila is normally the first in with the positive comments but she submitted this so that ruled her out. The Good Helen was clearly just having a bit of fun with Sheila about the nails. At least Sheila was able to tell a joke from a jibe. And The Bad Helen (Rep), well that’s just how she does. The -1 from singingdetective above is a sort of ‘giving you what you’d expect’ after your comment – to be taken as a joke too, I’m sure. All that in the middle there? Well that was just a funny read.

      Canalaphonic looks good. I’m confident of a scorchio summer this year.

      Joe,
      Today is International Day Of Happiness.

   a Mod gig….thats me sorted so….

   and don’t be minding them about your nails Sheila….

   any chance you could scan the back of the flyer to show us some of the events
   1. Sheila March 20, 2015 at 9:18 pm

      I sent that on too, but they didn’t include it. Here it is:

7. Sheila March 20, 2015 at 7:20 pm

   Looking forward to this, sounds like fun. But I will be away on the Saturday, which I can’t cancel. Oh well.

   Bit silly to have this clashing with the Harolds Cross Festival – also dublin cuty council supported
