Eurovision is here! Providing #HotTakes on Twitter is pretty much essential when watching Eurovision. Everyone’s a 140-character-limited comedian these days. Twitter is guaranteed to be polluted with know-it-alls, cynics, moaners, sarcastic folk and people desperately trying to end up on a ’10 of the BEST tweets from Eurovision’ list. Here’s some of the tweets you […]
It is with a heavy heart that we must report the following deaths: 2015 is survived by his children 2014 and 2013. RIP. Kitten Heels outlived any genuine expectations bestowed upon them. RIP. “It died a long time ago” – Mam. RIP. Many say scrunchies should never have been born in the […]
Hi folks, Firstly, Minister, can I just say I’m absolutely chuffed to be taking part in Her.ie’s diary entry series, it’s been a lifelong ambition of mine and I feel truly honoured and blessed to have been given this platform. Yes, the rumours are true. I’m stepping down as leader of the Labour Party. It’s […]
Phones are useful. With most of us spending upwards of €12,000 on our phones these days, it seems only right that we protect them with nothing short of our precious little lives. There’s a wide range of snazzy covers available and people generally choose one based on budget, practicality and style. Frankly, your phone cover […]
Social media, am I right? It can be a wonderful tool to facilitate friendships from near and far. However, similar to Spotify at a party, social media can also turn into the absolute pits when the wrong people get a hold of it. We’re kissing the end of July now, meaning there’s the odd patch of […]
Mams. A personal favourite pastime of mine is randomly texting things to my Mam for no good reason whatsoever. She’s usually a good sport about things and has been known to point out my shortcomings in terms of original and successful means of divilment. Fair. This morning, I decided to text her some lyrics from Beyoncé’s […]
Enda Kenny is our new Taoiseach. Earlier, he met with our adorable President, Michael D. Higgins, to get his ‘Warrant of Appointment’ signed, which sounds a bit like when your parents had to sign a note proving to the teacher that you genuinely needed to take a half day for the dentist. The photograph from […]
LETTERLAND! As a child, the alphabet was hard enough to learn without the distraction of several quirky animals and humans doing weird things. Alas, that is where we ended up. Since departing primary school roughly five years ago, I often find myself wondering what ever happened to those freaky little Letterland characters. Let’s find out… […]
Oh, Twitter! Last week, we brought you the new Sylvanian Families Twitter account which has sadly since been suspended. It was truly fun while it lasted. Now, someone has started a Postman Pat tribute Twitter account, with a similarly sinister tone, and we are quite honestly howling reading some of the tweets. What’s the number for […]
Snapchat is great. Between tending to my pet sea monkeys and fantasising about owning more sea monkeys, I like to imagine a world where some of our favourite film characters have social media accounts. Today, I’m imagining the Snapchat account of Snow White (of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs fame). [Just a quick side […]
Life is hard. Every day presents us with brand new opportunities to say “UGH FFS”. Complaining is one of the few legal highs left in modern Ireland and by Christ do we use and abuse that privilege. Personally, I’m not truly happy unless I’ve something to complain about. Anyway, here’s some of our everyday struggles […]
Snapchat is great. There’s something very unique about the Irish sense of humour, which thankfully translates perfectly to most forms of social media. Sometimes I like to imagine a world where some of my favourite people have Snapchat. I am confident they would dominate it and instantly become viral sensations. Here’s some of my favourite […]
