Dingle Gin forms the backbone of the entire menu which will celebrate the natural beauty of the Dingle Peninsula.. Tickets available at link below

We have two invites to this incredible culinary and drinking experience to give away

To enter, just complete this rhyme:

Nothing gives me a tingle,

Like din’ and gin from Dingle.

It could be the juniper berries,

Or perhaps the ice cream,

How do you counter this (above)?

Worried in Dublin West writes:

My area is awash with no posters and it’s really getting to me. I’ve decided enough is enough.

I don’t have big money to be buying posters so I’ve resolved to design and have printed some YES stickers and put them on lampposts, consenting lapels etc. around my area.

The problem is, I’ve been racking my brain for the last 48hrs and I find it difficult to sum up such a complicated issue as abortion into a slogan. It works fine for the ‘no’ side [viz: fear, scary, look at this foetus, Jesus can see you in the ballot box].

However, apart from ‘my body my choice’ and possibly ‘if you don’t like abortions, don’t have one’ is there a catchy, short slogan I can fit onto a sticker in support of YES?

I’m trying to find something that will be non-exclusionary, constructive, and (crucially) appealing to swing voters currently being targeted by the no-side who wish to sow the seeds of doubt and make moderate yes voters feel confused and decide to stay at home on polling day.

I still passionately believe that Ireland has a majority of voters that are compassionate and respect women enough to make choices about their own bodies.

Any suggestions welcome.

Anyone?

Congratulations to veteran Broadsheet commenter Clampers Outside who got married at the weekend.

Clampers, best known for his loathing of identity politics, has been a constant, loyal and entertaining presence on the ‘sheet since 2010.

We wish him and his new bride our warmest regards.

What God has joined together let no one disengage with a bolt-cutter.
