I’ve been made aware of a post on social media saying I had a free meal at a concert the other night. This is not true. There was no meal, we only had drinks and I paid. I have the receipt to prove it too.

In Fingal folk wanted to see
The Dublin Bus route 40E
But it goes up a road
Where traffic once flowed
But very soon will cease to be

Behold: the 1956 Porsche 550 RS Spyder – Stuttgart’s Holy Grail racer of which only 90 were ever made (including the ‘Little Bastard’ that killed James Dean).
Currently up for auction (likely accepting bids over €5,000,000) at Sothebys in Paris.
He’s angry.
Last week, we asked you to select you favourite scene from Elf (2003).
On offer was a pair (yes TWO) tickets to see the Xmas classic on the big screen again at exclusive ODEON screenings this Sunday and next Thursday (details at link below) across the country.
You answered in your dozens, but there could only be one winner…..
‘Andyourpointiswhatexactly‘ for his/her choice, the scene where Buddy (Will Ferrell) calls Miles (Peter Dinklage) an elf, beating Dermot Hughes (taxi scene) and Scraib (elevator scene) into second and third place respectively.
Thanks all.

Amy uses a mix of recycled vinyl records, bone, amber and antler, they are pretty cool…
