“…a throwback to the crazy days of the property boom, house hunters have begun queuing overnight for a new homes scheme in Swords, Co Dublin, that will not open to the public until Saturday. Three or four parties queued overnight at the Millers Glen development [from Gannon Homes] near Applewood in Swords in order to secure their places at the top of the queue for 60 newly-built homes launching on Saturday at 2pm. This morning a number of others have joined the queue…

You tried to tell them.

Hell, we all tried.

They’re going to have to learn the HARD way.

Fashion Sketch of Angelina Jolie's Wedding Dress by Versace

“Vivienne, Knox and, indeed, all six of our children are such wonderful artists,” breathes [Angelina] Jolie, proudly wielding a finger painting of a hungry caterpillar. “And what better place to reflect their creative talents than my gown?”
At this point, [Luigi] Massi [master tailor for Atelier Versace] would have been forgiven for sobbing hysterically. The official line, however, is that he was only too happy to sew a random assortment of motorbikes, Eiffel Towers, mouse-like creatures and other “charming” artwork onto the train and veil of Jolie’s silk frock….While die-hard Brangelina fans are mooning sentimentally over this “exquisite expression of family love and dedication,” the rest of us are reaching for the sick bucket.”

FIGHT!

Well come and have a go if you think you’re lard enough.

“We have a €100 hamper from James Whelans Butchers – delivered free anywhere in Ireland – to celebrate the amazing success of James Whelan’s Butcher’s ‘Beef Dripping’ – awarded a 3 star Great Taste Award, and just announced as a Top 50 Food – out of over 10,000 entries!
Praised by the Great Taste judges as “an absolute showstopper” with “tremendous, deep beefy flavours” which “blew us all away”, the Beef Dripping is made from the suet of grass fed Angus and Hereford beef. Rendered down and clarified into a pure fat, James Whelan Butchers Beef Dripping is simply packaged in white wax paper and stays fresh for up to six months, when stored in a cool dark place. The Beef Dripping, priced €3.99, is available now online or from James Whelan Butchers at Clonmel, Tipperary, Avoca Food Market, Monkstown or Avoca, Rathcoole [Co Wicklow].”

Blimey.
