Inordinately buff fitness trainer Frank Medrano shows off his calisthenics prowess – using his body weight rather than gym equipment as a form of resistance.
Consider this as you palm-mash that third Danish into your face-hole.

Was it for this?

The Royal Air Force C130 Hercules you have posted is in fact an Irish aircraft, owned by Air Contractors, HQ in Swords, Co. Dublin…..The hint is on the underside of the wing, the Irish registration EI-JIV (The only civillian Hercules in the EU).
Watch the B-17 Flying Fortress (Memphis Belle) here and the Catalina flying boat here
Thanks Jonathan Benn

Grand Theft Auto V map overlayed on to a map of Dublin city.
Why the hell not.

So being a bit of a gamer (understatement) and an even bigger nerd, I spent the best part of the morning designing a comparison map of GTA 5 and Dublin city.
GTA 5’s new map (Los Santos) is approx. 11km in height (North to South, as the crow flies) and is approx. 6km in width (East to West, as the crow flies).
So with this in mind, I went to google maps and searched the same distance in Kilometres and assessed that GTA 5’s map would fit into an area as North as the Airport, as East as the Docklands, as South as UCD and Terenure, and as west as Phoenix park. The result = BOOM!
Thanks Sean Smyth

Seems like zero-craic, soulless 800-pub chain Wetherspoons are looking to move into Ireland. Hopefully not the start of a UK-style shitty chain pub take over.
FIGHT!

Hand-assembled in Germany.
Manhandled in Dublin.

My beautiful bike ‘Brigitte’ was stolen from outside 8 Seville Place, Dublin 1. She’s been stolen before and I found her in town with the help of some friends and claimed her back. She was assembled in Germany by a dear friend, travelled over to Dublin and has lived here for the last 3 years.
She’s been in a film, an exhibition and helped out many people out of tight spots. We love her very much and want her back. Please keep an eye out, she’s pretty unmissable. Fabulous, pink, backpedalbraking beauty.
Anyone?

Benson, Pops, Mordecai. This is where they all started out.
Tripping balls. Just as you’d expect.
