Cork Gin…combined with Corks finest tay. Well sweet baby Jesus! Christmas has come early lads!
Neapolitan pizza makers prepare pizzas in a bottega in Naples, Italy yesterday
If you like your pizza base thin
And airy then give it a spin
But don’t you dare start
To learn this great art
Outside Naples, for that’s now a sin.

We’d love to hear all about your Christmas…What it means to you, what you love and what you hate about the ‘festive’ season….
You can join us between 10pm-Midnight from anywhere in the world…..Or you can leave an Xmas wish below that will be read out LIVE ‘on air’.
We can’t promise there’ll be no fighting or cursing, but you can expect a typical albeit dysfunctional family get-together.

From top: Tesco; SuperValu
Cheesus.

Following on from your Easons/Amazon post yesterday here is another one.
My absolute favourite cheese for topping homemade burgers is smoked applewood. In Supervalu it costs 2.99 for 150g which works out at 19.93 a kilo.
Whereas over in Tesco 185g of smoked applewood cheese, imported from the UK, will cost you 1.38 or 7.46 per kilo. 6
By my calculation this product is 167% more expensive in Supervalu than it is in Tesco.
Hooray for British cheese I say.
FIGHT!
Yesterday: Eason/Amazon
Yikes.

New Irish Icons is my satirical and affectionate take on creating new Irish icons for a rapidly changing country.
Meet St Panti of Capel Street, patron saint of LGBTQ, cabaret, publicans, big hair and human rights.
St Conor of Crumlin is patron saint of cage fighting, trash talk and tattoos (oh, and boxing).
We have St Bono of Ballymun, who is patron saint of rock, sunglasses and philanthropy.
Plus St Bosco of Montrose, the patron saint of magic doors, boys & girls everywhere and living in a box.
Great gifts for Kris Kindle or for the person who has everything! You can find them on mugs, tote bags and genuine seven-day burn sanctuary candles on the website [at link below].
Always love to hear suggestions and I’m also very happy to do custom orders, if you’d like to ‘saintify’ yourself or a friend for Christmas!
Thanks a million!

Green Rebel: Frankie Gaffney
Green Rebel
A new podcast where hosts, ‘our’ Emily O’Callaghan and Irina Dzhambazova speak to original mavericks from the creative industries.
This episode – Number 2 – they meet actor and activist Frankie Gaffney.
Emily writes:
In this short interview, Frankie manages to cover everything from Shakespeare through Joyce, via Marxism, Maya Angelou, Roald Dahl, politics, discrimination, racism, misogyny, Irish Twitter and accidentally emailing filthy sex scenes from his book ‘Dublin Seven’ to his mother. A Freudian click if ever there was one.
Frankie has gone from getting into “scrapes” with the Gardai to DJing to ultimately releasing a novel which ended up at the Number 1 spot in Hodges Figgis and is now lecturing in Trinity and completing a PhD.
He is an outspoken activist both online and in real life. He truly believes that the love his Mother gave him for reading books from a young age has saved him from a life that could have gone differently. Frankie made for a captivating guest on this episode.
