Spotted at Samantha Mumba’s birthday party in Buck Whaley’s at the weekend were Neil O’Brien and Carl McGuire. It really doesn’t get more hipstery than that.
They will now take over from our reigning Hipster favourites, Kieran O’Melia and Tom Creed. It must be said, compared with Neil and Carl, they look a little sad.

Not as good as,
Somerville And Ross . Our heroes.
Look, he’s the nearest you’re going to get to a hipster in Leinster House.
He’s called Vic Duggan. He doesn’t do ties. And what he lacks in sta(t)ure he makes up for with a devil-may-care ‘tude, an insouciant crew neck and a three-day stubble.
Respect. Fist bump.

GILMORE TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT
The Leader of the Labour Party, Eamon Gilmore TD, will make a significant political announcement today, Friday January 14th, at 3.00pm on the plinth at Leinster House.
Meh.
Fitzpatrick was part of Derek Quinlan’s consortium purchasing the Savoy Hotel group, which included Claridge’s, above. Among the investors was Paddy McKillen.
Seanie recalls: “I know nothing about hotels. I am looking around the place. Paddy McKillen said [he] was down in the car park last night and you know what, the ceiling is eighteen feet high. I said, What does that mean? he said, What does that mean? That means we could put a gym or bar in there, Sean, instead of a car park.
‘And then you know we have Joe Bloggs in there cutting hair, fuck him out and we get in Fabiola. Then there is a jeweller down there called John Doe, fuck him out and we will get in Cartier. The guys were bang, bang, bang.”
Fabiola? Bang, bang, bang? Fuck John Doe? Ah, great, great days.

Conor Hand, sales manager of National Recycling, removes a 1992 BMW from Sean Fitzpatrick’s Greystones home. Mr Hand purchased the motor from the former Anglo boss and intends auctioning it off with proceeds going to charity.
But don’t worry, Seanie still has this 08 Passat, spotted in his driveway below, as a run-around.
