July was a strong month on Twitter. Gas Twitter users truly surpassed themselves in having the ability to make me involuntarily expel air from my nose at a slightly more forceful rate than normal. Topics this month included holiday packing, Matilda being dumb, a weird obituary, Dad jokes and much more. Here’s 20 of the funniest tweets you […]
Everything you know is a lie. Beloved Irish schoolbook Dioscó na mBó moulded many an Irish-speaking childhood and certainly catapulted my impressionable mind into a world where livestock could socialise just like you and I. Recently, news has emerged that the book itself gives a deeply inaccurate depiction as to what actually happened that evening. As Ireland’s answer to Spotlight, […]
Nostalgia gets the hits. I often find myself wondering what happened to my childhood favourites: The Teletubbies, The Care Bears, Winnie The Pooh, Letterland, Guess Who, Wilson from Cast Away, and now The Tweenies. I’ve done some digging around and unearthed inconvenient, but vital information. As Ireland’s answer to Spotlight, it’s only right that we uncover […]
Daniel O’Donnell is giving the nation life today. Last night, he posted the following on his Facebook page: There’s a lot I love about this. The caption, the shirt, the terrible camera angle, the specificity of how the mackerel was cooked, and what appears to be a Child of Prague statue sitting on top of the […]
Finally, the internet is realising that Arthur was lit. There’s nothing I love more than ruining the innocence of childhood, one beloved television programme at a time. Our innocent minds resulted in a lot of innuendo going over our nit-infested heads as children, so I’m here to wrong that right. Arthur was an exceptional piece […]
ATMs are jerks. They’re pushy, judgemental and very hard to get along with. Oh, you haven’t any €20 notes, have you not? Well then why did you give me the option to request €20, you absolute dose?! We’ve just received confirmation that all of the big important banks have today emerged from a groundbreaking meeting and they’ve agreed […]
Stranger Things is the new Orange Is The New Black. It’s actually not, I just wanted to write that. Stranger Things is a new supernatural science fiction horror series on Netflix that people are currently horsing through. The show is brilliant. I just finished it and I’m thoroughly satisfied with what I consumed. The cinematography is beautiful, […]
Yes Siri. The loveable computer programme on our iPhones can be a bit of a divil when he/she wants to be. One of my favourite pastimes is annoying Siri with stupid questions until we reach a point where slightly sassy replies are given. Siri needs to understand that what I require from him/her is not […]
Stock images are one of few sources of genuine and legal laughter left in society today. Working in this current job has introduced me to a world full of stock image subscriptions that I didn’t even know existed. Searching something as ridiculous as ‘identity theft’ results in nearly 5,000 images that range from vaguely appropriate to utterly ridiculous. […]
Last night, Hillary Clinton became the first female White House nominee for a major political party. More importantly, all eyes were on the potential First Lad, Bill Clinton. He wowed audiences with his carefully chosen outfit that managed to state so much, but at the same time, so little. Bill poured his curves into a […]
RIP The Titanic xx I often wonder what would happen if certain things from history happened in the modern day. The insufferable Facebook statuses, the attention-seeking Instagrams, the unnecessary live Tweets – it would be an absolute spectacle of an affair. Here’s what I imagine would happen if Twitter was around for people to live […]
Pokémon GO is life. I’m having a large amount of fun playing Pokémon Go at the moment. It’s like a time machine, taking me back to a world where life’s biggest worry was whether I’d make it home before the street lights came on or not. Some of the Pokéstops are a bit weird. There doesn’t […]
