Proposed new names for our favourite fruit
Fruit is nice. How come Sharon fruit is the only fruit that gets a name? It’s a travesty and it’s something that we, as a society, need to look into. I find the names of some fruit to be quite unhelpful, so I’ve given them more palatable nicknames. Feel free to use them at your […]

21 things your tight friend always says
Everyone has a tight friend. If you don’t have a tight friend, then it’s probably you. You know the one. They bring a packed lunch everywhere, always ask for tap water and basically mortify you in every possible situation that you find yourself in. Tight friends are an epidemic that I would very much like to […]

Here’s what your favourite ice cream says about you…
Ice creams are cool. Much like your choice of car, perfume, handbag or phone cover, you can tell an awful lot about a person based on what ice cream they choose to treat themselves to. Based on no quantifiable research whatsoever, here’s what your choice of ice cream says about you. Magnum One word springs to […]


10 stunning photographs from last night’s fog
For fog’s sake. In case you mist it, there was quite a bit of fog around the country last night. As with any noticeable change in the weather, social media was inundated with a large amount of stunning photography that left us, frankly, breathless. Here’s 10 of the best fog photographs we spotted. The Spire Giant’s […]

10 texts it’s perfectly acceptable to send your best friend
Best friends are essential. There’s very little as sacred as the bond between two best friends. We’ve seen each other at our worst, best and most disgusting and still decide to come back for more. Text messages exchanged between best friends can often get into questionable territory, but if anything, it strengthens the bond that […]

If The Leaving Cert Was Live Tweeted…
The Leaving Cert is banter. Lookit, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. I really wish Twitter was around when I was doing my Leaving Cert because I’m confident I would’ve written the most fire Tweets of all time thanks to the perfect combination of procrastination and a declining mental state. I want to live in […]

Imagine if Grumpy left Trip Advisor reviews of Ireland…
Grumpy is undoubtedly the best one out of the Seven Dwarfs. Roughly twelve times a day, I find myself in a similar mindset as good old Grumps, and there’s no shame in it, I can tell you. Imagine if Grumpy took a trip to Ireland and left reviews of the places he visited? Christ, he’d […]

Girls Night Out WhatsApp Group
WhatsApp groups are life. There’s a particular WhatsApp group that I detest. It’s the one where you’re trying to organise a night out with the girls and everyone becomes the most insufferable human being known to man. Everyone’s got a hectic schedule, the organiser generally ends up in tears and it’s essentially the equivalent of running a […]

If Callcards were still around, here’s what they’d probably look like…
Remember Callcards? Christ, they were magnificent. Nothing felt as futuristic as using a prepaid card to ring our friends and family from piss infused phone booths around the country. Sadly, they met their demise some years ago. Since I’ve nothing better to do with my time, I often wonder what designs would appear on Callcards […]

EXPOSED: The truth behind Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris’ Instagrams
Sadly, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are no more. I’m devastated, but also very much finding comfort in the optimistic knowledge that we can and we will rebuild. If Taylor could get over Harry Styles, she can most certainly get over a guy who legally changed his name from Adam to Calvin. Upon looking back […]
