An incredible 42 hours after publishing what some have described as the most poorly-subbed article in its 151-year history, the Irish Times has failed to apologise, or make any reparation in the light of last Tuesday’s ‘Trappatoni To Stay In Hospital Overnight’ article snafu.

Irish Times Editor Geraldine Kennedy, a widely acknowledged hard-liner on grammar, was unavailable for comment, we imagine.

Unconfirmed reports of thousands of flies swarming behind the windows of the paper’s Tara Street offices suggest that chaos reigns there now.

Madam,

A ‘serious of tests‘?

The ‘cause of his illness thought to be caused by…‘?

If this is what passes for journalism at the Newspaper of Record these days, I shall be cancelling my subscription and crossing the Liffey to Abbey Street. To buy a copy of Razzle.

Yours etc,

Chompsky

If you’re like us you’re probably holding a copy of The Irish Times Magazine right now. It’s full of brilliant interviews with fascinating people (and the odd power-starved megalomaniac), articles that make you think and practical tips on gardening, cheese and Canasta.

Few babies make it onto its hallowed cover. So you can imagine why Louise Fitzgerald (above left, ) might have woken up this morning with a spring in her crawl. A cover and still only eight-months-old! Even if she did have to share it with two boys: Arlo McGurk (six months), the dazed little fellow in the centre, and Anton Schroeder (eight months).

Then, if you can, picture how her sweet, adorable, face must have fallen when she saw this:

Moral: Never trust boys. Itchy feet can wait. And when they say your poo doesn’t smell, something bad is going to happen.
