‘I need to go, I need to get away from everything.’ ‘Remember When’ by Heathers. Tight harmonies. Great guitar. On heavy rotation since last March. ‘I need to go, I need to deedle, deedle, everything’. Brilliant. Wonder how much they got from Failte Ireland? ‘I need to go, I need to get away from deedle, dee’. Cinema, radio. It’s everywhere you go, really. ‘I need to go, I need to get away fr…’ FUCK OFF, THEN!

Sorry Heathers. Roll on winter.

Just as well, because we’ve had to pawn the rest of the furniture.

LoFi Sofa by designer Christiane Högner. Soft, supportive, gentle on even the most tender and sensitive arse. Take a seat, AIB, BOI and TSB mortgage holders.

Take a seat.

See. We’re not just here for the nasty things in life. Photographed this very afternoon at the start of the RDS Horse Show was two-year-old Emma Kinahan, from Westmeath, who is competing in her first Aga Khan.

Emma is happy she doesn’t look like ‘mid-career’ Van Morrison, like all her friends.

Nat Latest: ‘Joke from my sick bed’: “I’d heard about the horse whisperer who’s appearing at the Dublin horse show but was unable to find an appropriate pic of Sarah Jessica Parker engaging in a bit of whispering. The cavernous-gobbed harridan.”

Come, Nat, this isn’t Joe.ie.

I know. We wish.

Sorry, Karl. No fanboys in on Wednesday.

This little gem had Broadsheet in floods of tears as young men, much as randy Uncle Mike would make us cry when he bit us. But unlike Mike, Flight of the Doves is not paralysed down one side of its body with severe gout in both legs and married to a woman who pees in a bag.

In fact Flight of the Doves has aged impeccably. This section deals with pretty much everything that was to happen 30 years later. It opens outside a synagogue in Temple Bar (actually The River Club), where two scamps are hiding in bins…
