An incredible 42 hours after publishing what some have described as the most poorly-subbed article in its 151-year history, the Irish Times has failed to apologise, or make any reparation in the light of last Tuesday’s ‘Trappatoni To Stay In Hospital Overnight’ article snafu.

Irish Times Editor Geraldine Kennedy, a widely acknowledged hard-liner on grammar, was unavailable for comment, we imagine.

Unconfirmed reports of thousands of flies swarming behind the windows of the paper’s Tara Street offices suggest that chaos reigns there now.

A two-month old Lesser Malay Mouse Deer (officially the world’s smallest deer with a rodent in its name) was born this summer at Paignton Zoo in Devon.

He’ll eventually grow to a maximum length of 55cm. Which is small, but not so small that if he scuttled out from behind a packet of Frosties while you were filling the kettle late one night you wouldn’t literally shit yourself.
