She won, again!

Shawna Scott writes:

Sex Siopa won an SME award at the weekend and I’m really excited about it! It’s the 2nd year in a row that I won this award, so in true Shawna Scott fashion, I celebrated by getting dizzy on sweets and beer and then fell asleep by midnight. (I’m really living the dream!)

I just want to thank everybody that has used Sex Siopa and all that have supported me over the past few years, ‘sheet included.

Mmf!

A mere sample of the vintage-flavoured Euro ’16 [football championship] tops and tees for the fans from the fans.

Kevin Dunphy writes:

As soon as Ireland qualified for its first football tournament way back in 1988 there were t-shirts celebrating the occasion and that tradition carried on right through Italia ’90 and USA ’94.

Unfortunately it seemed to die a death somewhere along the way so [supporters collective] Eire Guide hope to bring the tradition back with our range for Euro 2016.

Eire Guide is run by  group of Republic of Ireland supporters and our t-shirts reflect our passion for the Boys in Green.

Further to the news that [often excellent] TXFM will cease to be.

TXFM’s Joe Donnelly writes:

We have been flooded with heartbreaking, joyous, funny, moving, genuine, poignant, sad, philosophical and reassuring messages.We’ve received hundreds and hundreds of texts, tweets, emails, and social media or web posts. During the past two shows, I’ve been sat in the studio thinking to myself: ‘What on earth is going on here?’

Anyone?
