Alessandro Ford, the first western student to be enrolled at Kim Il-sung University.

For five months a student named Ford,
Wasn’t lonely or frightened or bored,
He studied the tongue,
Of the great Kim Il-sung,
In the land that’s forever adored.

‘sup?

Jeremy Masding, CEO of PTSB Permanent TSB (with Chairman Alan Cook, pic 3 above) at a press conference yesterday in relation to mortgage overcharging that saw some people lose their homes.

But how did he remain so serious and controlled.

And not even crack a smile?

PTSB

Ah.

Xnthony.

He has a dream.

David writes:

Wannabe popstar, Xnthony, who you’ve previously featured signing autographs on Grafton Street, last night announced his bid for Eurovision glory in 2016 outside the Gaiety Theatre.

Xnthony will seek the guidance of the public in selecting a song for the competition in a series of special performances, titled Douze, in Smock Alley as part of the Tiger Dublin Fringe Festival. It’d be great to be featured on the site again given how popular he’s been with your readers in the past….

FIGHT!

Douze (Xnthony)
