9 things that happen to every group of gal-pals at a festival

Ahhhhhhhh finally. Festival season is almost here. It’s time to leave our inhibitions and jobs behind, pack a bag (incorrectly usually) and head off to greener (usually wetter) pastures.

Supermac’s could soon be offering up HEALTHY chips

Could this be the end of the infamous chip as we know it? Let’s be honest, we all love a good chunky chip, and the Supermac’s chip is up there with The Book Of Kells in terms of popularity amongst us Irish. Whether it’s the middle of the afternoon, or long after hours, those plastic […]

5 remote controls we actually wish existed and that we’d definitely use

Ahhhhhh the remote control it’s a godsend really.

This BBQ season is all about ‘Swineapple’… we might be sick

We don’t know about this one. As people and journalists, we don’t take Pinterest or Instagram trends lightly. We do our research and we know if things are simply a flash in the pan, or whether they’re here to stay (anything unicorn related).

Bono and Bush were hanging out… and people want to know why!

We have to admit, it’s a slightly odd pair. Turns out the reason behind this latest bromance is extremely important. Although Bono and George W.Bush have experienced vastly different careers it seems they have a shared passion for saving lives in Africa and eradicating AIDS. Since leaving office in 2008, the former US President and […]
