US President Donald Trump reportedly suggested bombing Hurricane Michael before it reached America

Poor Donald still doesn’t know why
You can’t use a nuke in the sky
To blow up some wind
But this orange-skinned
Fool is still willing to try

Online hate is like when milk curdles: ‘an aggregation of objects into communities,’ an expert says

Bad apples, it is often said
Can explain just how hatred is spread
But trolls and their ilk
Are more like curdled milk
So let’s all study bubbles instead

10th Century cosplay at last year’s Vikingfest in Dublin City

We’ve always suspected, of course
That some of our ancestry’s Norse
And now boffins tell
How our own numbers fell
Before the Danes came here in force

Plans for the toilet facilities (above) in Bridgend, Wales included water jets to soak users if violent movement was detected

In Bridgend they need a new loo
But the council insists it’s not true
That a high pressure spray
To keep shaggers away
Is something they’re planning to do

There’s many a sore head in Tipp
As on Sunday they managed to slip
More over the bar
Than Kilkenny by far
And won in the big championship

So much real estate
So he’d have to cough up a huge price

New Zealand Men are licking lichen (above) in attempts to combat erectile dysfunction

A lichen that grows on a rock
Is rumoured to harden your cock
But all experts say
You should stay well away
If you take it you’re in for a shock

A Donegal GP has blamed severe lack of sunshine in the county for low vitamin D levels

Doctors do not like to see
Low levels of Vitamin D
When they did a big test
Up in the north west
The results didn’t fill them with glee

A sell-out crowd of 82,300 was reached in Croke Park last Saturday evening for the All-Ireland semi-final between Dublin and Mayo

If you’re thinking you might want to go
To watch Dublin win five in a row
Then maybe think twice
As they’ve hiked up the price
Once again, which is rather poor show
