And his beautifully mad pad.

I met Ger a few weeks ago. He fronts a band called ‘The Carnival Brothers‘ [you may recall last Summer’s The Sun Is Gonna Shine]. Ger is as cool as his home in Celbridge [Co Kildare]. His house is a joy to behold and the attention to detail is stunning. He’s also a top bloke.

The 1987 Mount Anville School Fashion Show in its glorious (if slightly dark due to VHS source) two-hour entirety.
Pretty slick for 1987, in fairness.
But where are they now, those cotton-stirrup-pants-and-giant-turtleneck-sweater flaunting angels of South Dublin? Were you among them?

My daughter brought this back from the local shop earlier. 11 months out of date and drained of all redness. Tasted ‘all right’ according to her friend.

Just saw this guy pull into disabled spot in brown Thomas carpark. He was lightening quick so couldn’t challenge him (though not sure I really wanted to). I’m totally outraged. BT staff don’t look after carpark.
