Bloomberg: Coke Selling Beggers And Punch-Ups Plauge Downtown Dublin
Tank Full
at
You might recall the competition to tie in with the release of Fury (2014).
Readers were offered a chance to drive a WW2 tank (like the one above) at the Irish Military War Museum Strinagh, Collon, Slane, Co. Meath
Runners up:
DNS: “I deserve to drive a WWII tank because I feel the need…….THE NEED to make up for other ‘inadequacies’ in my life.”
Bertie Blenkinsop: “I deserve to drive a WWII tank because. .. ah I’m not really Sher man.”
V for Viennetta: “I deserve to drive a WWII tank because then I would be full of thanks and a tank would be full of me.”
Declan: “I deserve to drive a WWII tank because after being informed I’m being let go next week, I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!”
Spaghetti Hoop: “I deserve to drive a WWII tank because I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to Meath.”
Mr. P.: “I deserve to drive a WWII tank because I do a tankless job, to provide for a tankless wife, the mother of my tankless children, a drive in this tank would be a Howl(itzer).”
Winner:
DazzaMazza:
1. I drive a car like a tank (Ranault megane). It eats petrol like a tank, costs the same to insure as a tank, makes the same noise as a tank and occasionally tanks.
2. Because when I was a kid I had a fish bowl and never a tank.
3. Im Irish so I say tanks all the time.
4. I go to church every week, they guy at the top says ‘let us give tanks’ and have I ever received one? Not even close.
5. Even though Im a middle aged man with 2 kids and a family saloon, I wants my 100 nazi scalps!
Thanks all.

Behold: GaffGun – the ‘single greatest advancement in gaffer tape since tape was invented’.
A performance more satisfying to watch than many gigs, in fairness.

My father and I are beekeepers. He sorts out the honey and I make beautiful body butters and lip balms from the wax that our own bees produce in East Cork. There are two body butters (currently) Lime and Black Pepper & Bergamot and Patchouli. They’re a little different than the usual flowery sorts. Available in 100g & 200g (€8 & €10) so perfect for the Xmas stocking!. Facebook (link below) has more details on the products., Email me at ceirbare@gmail.com. Happy to take orders in Ireland and the UK

Surfers and bodyboarders can coexist.

This [above] is a picture of Daniel Skajarowski bodyboarding the Cliffs of Moher [Burren, Co Clare] a couple of days ago. Bodyboarding is a sport where you surf waves by lying down. sometimes there is a rivalry between bodyboarders and surfers but ireland is one of the few places in the world where we all get along.
Mmmf.
Thrashin’ stuff in fairness.

“The Kildare band Planet Parade returned from a near four-year hiatus with a renewed spirit and a new sound. New songs teased so far this year have a more nuanced and unique feel than before. Live, the band are now a considerable six-piece and they play melodic atmospheric indie with confidence and skill….”
