Ciara writes features for JOE.co.uk and is doing her best.
Life is hard. As Billy Ocean and subsequently Boyzone warned us, When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going. In the same way that you reward your dog for pooping in the correct place, it’s not unreasonable for humans to want to be awarded actual medals for completing everyday tasks. I want a medal for […]
J.K. Rowling is a gift. She brought absolute delight to all of our childhoods with her wonderful world of witchcraft and wizardry, and we will forever be massively grateful for that. In recent years, she’s taken her talents to Twitter to keep the Harry Potter world alive. It’s a nice sentiment, but tends to get a […]
Periods, am I right? They are quite literally a pain in the butt and essentially we all just need to be severely minded when they pull into town like an unwelcome family member who’s “just popping in”. Everyone is guilty of fantasising about having a celebrity best friend every now and then. It’s completely normal […]
What sort of deranged lunatic is still making phone calls in 2016? There needs to be some sort of public announcement made to inform the masses that phone calls are no longer acceptable in society. Send a text like a normal person, FFS! Along with being a deeply invasive and uncomfortable affair, phone calls are also […]
Folks, we have done it again. August was another strong month on Twitter. Users truly outdid themselves with their entertaining quips, covering topics such as The Olympics, The Leaving Cert, bananas and The Rose of Tralee. On more than one occasion, I forwarded various tweets to my friends with the caption ‘OMG SCREAMING’, while still maintaining […]
Xposed. As we all now sadly know, Xposé has made the controversial decision to axe Aisling, Lisa and Peter from the show. I have petitioned for a full day of national mourning to be scheduled for tomorrow, 31st August and am waiting to hear back from the Government. An unnamed source has sent us a series of leaked text […]
The 90s were a ride. We were all deeply cringe, with our collective lack of a fashion sense and overall clueless nature as to how the world actually worked. Luckily, technology at the time was very poor, so the only real evidence left of our loser tendencies are bundles of photos in Mam’s attic, which could […]
If you don’t spend at least a third of your lifetime in pyjamas, you don’t get into Heaven. Pyjamas are life. I’m not sure if anywhere in the world takes pyjamas as seriously as we do in Ireland. A completely made up bit of research has shown that Irish people are the highest consumers of pyjamas […]
Finally, the kids are going back where they belong. It is strictly required by law that you are friends with at least ten Mams on Facebook, whether it’s your own Mam, a relation, neighbour, friend or woman you met once on a night out and swore you’d be friends for life. A large portion of […]
College is fun. It’s the first time in your life where you finally feel like an adult, going out into the big bad world with nobody around to hold your delicate little hand. You learn a lot about yourself, and most importantly, you meet new people that you might’ve never been exposed to before. Here’s […]
Babies, am I right? It’s not enforced by law, but it’s advisable that all babies are given a name, to help us identify them and avoid confusing them with the likes of a butternut squash or a Cabbage Patch Doll. We’ve done a quick survey on all the newborn babies from this year and put […]
