“We’re sorry to see it go – however, it turns out that a glass-topped table with an lower tier isn’t ideal when you have a crawling, climbing and standing baby knocking around the house.

A quick look at the pic will explain why (that’s after we cleared the lower tier of books that he was pulling down on his head).

And, as someone who myself smashed a glass-topped coffee table with a tennis racquet when I was a child, I guess I’m just predisposed to see it as an accident waiting to happen…”

You know, a household with money’s a little like the mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it.

(Heh heh heh… mule)

The name’s Coughlan, Aidan Coughlan, and I come before you good people today with a sofa. Probably the greatest – actually, it’s not for you. It’s more of a… Shelbyville sofa.

What’s that? You’re twice as smart as the people of Shelbyville?

Well alright. I’ll tell you what I’ll do: I’ll show you my idea. I give you… the Ballinteer Recliner!

I’ve sold recliner sofas to Dundrum, Leopardstown and Carrickmines and by gum, it put them on the map! Well, sir, there’s nothing on earth like a genuine, bona fide reclinified, three-seater sofa.

What’s it called?

Recliner sofa
What’s it called?
Recliner sofa
That’s right!

I’m tired in my legs and back
– Then pull the lever and ease right back!
You rhymed the same word twice just there
– I’m sorry, but I do not care.

What about that green single-seater?
– It’s free if you want it, you exhaustion-cheater!
Is there a chance that you’d deliver?
– It’s collection only, so no, not a sliver.

How will I fit it through my door?
– It’s detachable, and ‘cos of this and more,
I swear it’s Ballinteer’s only choice
Throw up your hands and raise your voice

Recliner sofa!
What’s it called?
Recliner sofa!
Once again
Recliner sofa!

But the bedroom still needs renovation
Sorry, Mom; can’t ignore this sensation!

Recliner sofa!
Recliner sofa!
Recliner sofaaaaaa!

RECLINER SOFA!

Yikes.

“[Radio Nova’s] Morning Glory newsman Conor Irwin last week naively told everyone listening to Radio Nova that he wished his other half had taken cooking lessons. Following the comment, his girlfriend Ciara got in touch with the show’s hosts Marty and Joan to devise a plan that would hit Conor where it hurts. The cunning plot involved the gang posting an advert on Done Deal offering Conor’s “Beautiful Golf Clubs”, which are worth over €2000 for the low cost of €230. Needless to say, Conor got quite the shock when it was revealed live on air that his pride and joy were being fobbed off….”
