Last week, to celebrate Broadsheet’s seventh birthday, we asked you to dedicate a song to a person involved with the site in any capacity.

A winning prize of a Golden Discs voucher worth TWENTY FIVE euros acted as an incentive.

You answered in you tens .

But there could be only one winner.

In no particular order then…

Sister Sledge – We Are Family

Bertie Blenkinsop writes:

For the birthday that’s in it, please play this for everyone because let’s face it, we’re a dysfunctional family…

Patti Labelle – Lady Marmalade

Mildred St Meadowlark writes:

For the birthday that’s in it, please play this for Bertie, my longtime broadsheet husband.

James Brown; The Payback

Joe writes:

‘For the birthday that’s in it, please play Mind Power for Broadsheet’s Board of Directors and the many shareholders on the internet because every minute spent swirling down this giant web of rabbit holes gives you ten times more as a payback for your time invested in the best media and open forum discussion platform and source of news in Ireland’

 

REM – It’s The End Of The World

I’d like to dedicate this to everyone, Broadsheety, trolly, humany, internetty, really…

This afternoon

Dublin Bus celebrated its 30th anniversary today with their longest serving employees reading favorite stories, including the lost missing table tennis bats (video above), which have been gathered into a giant Dublin Bus Legends Story Book chronicled since setting out 1987.

In fairness.

Mind no when Marian says she’s ‘not sure’ how her salary is negotiated, one may get a bit twitchy….damn comfy to be the highest paid per HR and not have a clue how your own salary is negotiated. Pulse o’ the people an’ stuff…

Hic.

The White Hag brewery in Ballymote, County Sligo celebrated its third birthday last weekend with a Hagstravaganza festival of craft beer from home and abroad.

And a memorable train ride.

Paul Mullins of The White Hag writes

What a difference a week makes! Since we last featured here, we’ve held Irelands first International Brewery Festival, and legislation allowing for taprooms to operate here in Ireland has made it through cabinet and is likely to be enacted this year.

Our Hagstravaganza  was attended by 1000 thirsty beer fans from all over Ireland, and further afield.

We had fans who travelled from the UK, France and even three from the US for the festival. Irish Rail hired us a train to transport the rabble back into Sligo, and it was brilliant, chaotic, loud mayhem.

Now consider for a minute what can now happen if breweries the length and breadth of the country are allowed and encouraged to host events like this on a regular basis, and we can encourage the queues of American’s and European’s queuing up at James Gate to get down the country to experience the new wave.

Maybe a little bit of tourism democracy?

There’s something in there that certain lobby groups in Ireland are afraid of, but we’re not sure what it is.

We’d like to think the timing was coincidental, but we feel the revolution is coming, and this is a little step closer to liberating our publicans and those who value choice in deciding who they buy their beers and spirits from.

We are eternally grateful to those who gave us a platform to get our message out, and Broadsheet has literally been there since day one for us.

Fight!
