This is what they’re like when Bill and Liam go to bed.
John Giles and Eamon Dunphy yuck it up with Shay Healy in George’s Bistro on Nighthawks, on May 28, November 1989 (forgivably hammered as this was the night Ireland qualified for Italia ’90).
A compilation of the best of the genuinely groundbreaking Nighthawks, all fronted by Shay, will be shown on Nighthawks Rehashed on RTÉ Two on December 27 at 10.10pm.
Thanks Ann Louise Foley
They don’t make them like they used to (Killarney has changed for one).
But some are still available on Ebay, including this selection from the 1920s,1930s, 1940s and 1950s, all currently being auctioned.
Including some from the Dutch School.
The first poster, anyone?
Update: Not a travel poster at all: Grow Wheat A crop that pays well for itself Guaranteed market Guaranteed price (thanks, Seamus).
Thanks Sibling of Daedalus

know you don’t normally do this” but this lovely dog has been hanging around our house in Salthill, Galway, since Friday evening (15th).
He’s a male Collie, about 2 years old. He’s really friendly, obedient and playful. Responds to sit, lie down and rollover. Because of all these factors we think he must be somebody’s pet and we would love to get him back to them.
He doesn’t have a collar or chip, unfortunately. If anyone recognises him they can get in contact with us via Facebook here..
The vet told us that he could walk 15 miles in a day without much problem so he could be from anywhere around Galway.
YOU decide.
Meanwhile.

Very sad to see Darren shot dead – and being honest, if i was in the IRA and Nidge said that Darren was the one who did it all I’d be thinking – OK, he’s Darrens biggest threat, not OK, I believe you. Plus Why did Nidge not blame it on Tommy – he’s already not going to pull through.
Anyone?

Never thought we’d say this.
They could have spent a bit more.
Thanks anon
What you may need to know.
1. We showed you the teaser trailer the other week; now here’s a first proper gander at next summer’s monsters vs. giant robots epic. They’re already planning the sequel.
2. If there’s a rousing speech to be given, let it be given by Idris Elba, a man so cool that in 2013 he emerged from both Prometheus and an appearance on Brendan O’Connor’s Saturday Night Show with his dignity intact, nay enhanced. The latter, lest we forget, also gave us the finest random Twitter pic of 2012: Stringer Bell reveals Donegal roots.
3. Pacific Rim director Guillermo Del Toro was supposed to have directed The Hobbit, but bailed at the last minute, and did this instead. The Hobbit could definitely have done with a few giant kick-ass robots and/or Idris Elba.
4. Quoteth Broadsheet perennial Nat King Coleslaw, upon watching this
trailer: ‘Bloody hell’.
Release Date: Summer 2013
We’ve documented the graffiti around Dublin to the delight of some and the foam-flecked loathing of others.
To the latter: behold our first dual platform app, Fix My Area.
It encapsulates what I love about having a small networked camera in my pocket at all times. You take a picture of something the council needs to deal with, tag it with some details and off it flies to the relevant authority.
It’s a shame you can’t track what you’ve reported in app instead of having to go to the website.
And being picky little shit, it’s letterboxed on iPhone 5. An absolute bugbear of mine.
Do you have an Irish app? Broadsheet@broadsheet.ie
