Frilly Keane: “Gin. Gin Makes me sin The more I drink The wilder the kink.”
Kolmo: “I want gin. Give me gin. Gin makes me wanna win. Stand on a bin and grab a fish by its fin, be told by a bouncer called Tim that I’m now not allowed in, which is a sin as I am fabulously thin, because of the gin. No truth lies therein.”
RobinBoy “I want gin. Give me gin. Gin makes me feel like I can finally begin, to lay some beats to the people in the street and get all of you now stamping you feet! GIN! GIN! GIN! GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!”
MickMack: “I want gin. Give me gin. Gin makes me feel stupider. Must be the juniper.”
PropJoe: “I want gin. Give me gin. Gin makes me feel like the night is starting. Like the street lights are heating up to illuminate the couple arm in arm on their way for their Saturday date, to silhouette the heaving embrace of a lads’ night out of birthday celebrations.Like the crisp evening air is set to illustrate every profound word uttered through chattering teeth in a city pub doorway. Like life is happening.”
Thanks all.

Do you have a wheelie case?
Linda Kavanagh writes:
The landslide vote for Marriage Equality and the passage of the Gender Recognition Bill earlier this year, demonstrates clearly, the huge appetite for change and progress in this country. This will be the last March for Choice before the next general election, so we must make it clear – securing our vote will mean making a commitment to Repeal the 8th amendment, so that we can take a step closer to securing free, safe and legal access to abortion in Ireland.
The March will kick off at 2 pm in Dublin at the Garden of Remembrance (assembling from 1.30pm), and like last year, we are asking that you bring a wheelie case if possible to make the effort and sound of travel abundantly clear!

Artist Stan Herd works in the medium of fields – using swathes of farmland as the canvases for his original compositions and interpretations of historical art.
His latest work, outside Minneapolis, is a 1.2 acre representation of Vincent Van Gogh’s 1889 Painting “Olive Trees”, commissioned by the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Visible to passengers aboard planes landing and taking off from the nearby airport, took weeks of mowing, planting and earthscaping to create.
