The Fairy ‘godbrothers’ are also going to have their collar felt by the ‘Too Gay? (and not the good kind of gay)’ Police.

“Hey,” Nat said from his cubicle about a minute ago. “One of those Hardy Bucks guys was responsible for the prank call to end prank calls. I have the You Tube.”
But Nat, we observed, if we run that clip, the bare-knuckle man will find out and go after the young Hardy Bucks lad. This recording is just one long suicide note with superlative images of Snatch and whatnot. And if we don’t identify exactly who it was they all might be in trouble.”
“The handstands,” countered Nat, ending the conversation.
We wish.
They may look like your latest favourite indie band from Brooklyn. But no, they’re Irish and they are part of the very-interesting-looking new RTE series, Hardy Bucks.
Take note other RTE people. This is how you do a promo shot. Just be cool. Chill. Look straight into the camera. Do not compromise. You are not a whore. You have dignity.
Above all, you don’t have to do fucking handstands.
Respect, lads. Fist bumps.
“It also emerged that local authority requirements for builders’ bonds are in many cases seriously inadequate…The study found a quarter of them had health and safety problems. The bonds are supposed to be taken out to ensure estates are completed. In some cases the requirements appear to have been ignored completely.”

You could catch Kris Kristofferson and Sinead O’Connor on ‘Saturday Night with Miriam, the last in the series (well that flew). Above is when the pair bonded during a Bob Dylan tribute in the 90s.
The Dylan fans get moody as only people who came to hear Bob Dylan songs and instead are given a ‘spoken word’ rendition of ‘War’ by Bob Marley, can get moody. Look for Kris being very gallant and Sinead being a little troubled.
Sinead’s new musician husband, Steve Cooney, is Australian by birth and has a great mastery of his homeland’s native instruments. When he was asked to take Sinead’s hand in marriage he replied : “I didgeridoo.”
Yup. Long week.

We meant after Barry Egan.
That’s right. He’s playing Bob Geldof on Irish telly and he’s in the next freakin’ Coen Brothers movie. Here he is in Never Let Me Go, which opens the London Film Festival whenever that is on. The boy has chops, according to Derek O’Connor (our guide in all these matters). Little wonder. He’s only Domhnall Gleeson son of the lion-hearted Brendan.
Respect. Fist bump.
