Greek PM Alex Tsipras and Jeane-Claude Juncker, President of The European Commission

The bigwigs in Brussels now feel,
They’ve worked out the perfect Greek deal,
They stayed up all night,
To get it all right,
Showing passion, commitment and zeal.

Omar Sharif at the Dublin Arabic film festival in the Lighthouse Cinema last year

Let’s keep this sad breaking news brief,
And leave time to wallow in grief,
So prop up a bar,
For we’ve lost a great star,
And drink one for Omar Sharif.

Would you like to sell beer to music ‘revellers’ this Summer?

And help the pro-choice campaign?

Read on.

The Abortion Rights Campaign writes:

We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us this summer. All volunteers must be 18 years old or over. The work involves working at the bars at some of the biggest gigs and festivals this summery.

When your shift finishes up you get to enjoy the music, have a free pint or two and pat yourself on the back for making a genuine contribution to improving the lives of women in Ireland…

George Ferguson saw nothing wrong,
With planting the folk from Hong Kong,
By the shores of Lough Foyle,
But he made some blood boil,
And the answer he got was quite strong.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump thinks that he knows the score,
But those decent chaps who all shout “fore!”,
Say when he shoots his mouth,
About folks from down south,
The best thing to do is ignore.
