Journalist William Campbell’s excellent Here’s How current affairs podcast this week features pillow-lipped, Gallic-accented, elite-basher Dr Julien Mercille, often of this parish but known to ‘wander’.
William writes:
Is ‘pink pricing’ – charging higher prices for women’s products than for largely identical men’s ones – real?
Does it count as discrimination? Should it be made illegal?

YIKES!
Humanoids of Ireland write:
Denis O’Brien first attempted to influence the people of Ireland by appearing on The Den under the alias “Don Conroy”. Getting into the psyche of Irish children was a clever tactic to improve public opinion of him in future generations. Unfortunately, it didn’t go quite to plan.

We asked YOU.
What song do you play if and when you do the ‘no pants dance’?
You answered in your tens.
But there could be only one winner.
Bertie Blenkinsop wins the weekly €25 Golden Discs voucher for selecting this Two Tone favourite (above) as the perfect song to make whoopie to.
Bertie modestly explains
“The song I like to play while indulging in the bad thing is The Selecter – Three Minute Hero (including foreplay and two minutes of begging).”
Mmf.
Bubblin’ under
The Old Boy: “The song I like to play while indulging in the bad thing is Wagner’s “The Ride of the Valkyries”, with Georg Solti conducting recordings for Decca.”
Don K Don G: “The song I like to play while indulging in the bad thing is Catch Me if You Can ( Me Name Is Dan) by Brendan Shine.”
Mike: “The song I like to play while indulging in the bad thing is Eric Carmen – All By Myself.”
Optimus Grime: “Oh it has to be King Kunta by Kendrick Lamar 24 7 365! For the “We want the funk” refrain alone.”
Dudley: “Amhrán na bhFiann.”
Harry Molloy: The song I like to play while indulging in the bad thing is Fake Empire by The National because it is our song.
Essexhian: “It has got to be this one!!!!!!!!! Bolero Just builds up to a magnificant ending!!!!!! Aaaarrggghhhh!!”
Ian Whelan: “My Little Lighthouse” by A House
DaithiG: “The song I like to play while indulging in the bad thing is Closer by Nine Inch Nails. I rarely get past the first verse though.”
Ricky Ricardo: In honour of the great and sadly departed Prince, it has to be “Darling Nikki”: Tis pure and delightful filth. (Seriously, some of the lyrics may not be safe for work. Don’t say I didn’t warn ye.)
Thanks all
