Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize

Or don't

Rarely do we ever have to put a warning on a video, but this one almost certainly deserves one.

NSFW wouldn't really cover it, since there's no nudity (sorry) or anything particularly lubricious about it, but let's just say if you've any problems with food, this might be worth avoiding.

It's the work of Dublin-based artist/comedian Hugh Cooney and looks a bit like if Tom Green had been from Naas.

If this is your kind of thing and, you know, it could be, Hugh is doing a show in the Sugar Club this Friday, called Late Night With Billy the Crisp.

What does that mean? We have no idea. But it'll almost certainly be comedy that's a little different to Des Bishop.

Say what you want about Iceland...

... or its banks, volcanoes, singers or hairdos.

They certainly know how to celebrate a goal. 

This celebration makes Roger Milla  seems like a toe-tied foot fool.

Remember!

Look for a safe place etc.

The important thing with a safe cross code is that it's short and sweet.

Just like this one (and its several minutes of lyrics). 

Poetry to Our Ears

Goldsmith, Yeats, Heaney

And now Diarmuid MacCormac.

Ya Fupping Pedrophile!

No Swearing Allowed

There are so many moments to remember fondly of Father Ted that it can be dangerous sometimes to start reminiscing, but this one is always worth a goosey goosey gander.

Spot Graham Linehan's co-writer Arthur Mathews here as the disgruntled picnicker.

Father Damo (Joe Rooney) from this episode and Eoin McLove (Patrick McDonnell) are performing tomorrow night at the Sugar Club in aid of ReachOut.com at 20.00.

You can buy tickets here.

You can watch the rest of The Old Grey Whistle Theft at Channel Four's admirable YouTube Channel.

 

No thanks Sweden...

... you can keep your bigoted bread

 

Aghadoe Heights - correction

Mistake! Apologies to anyone who called up Aghadoe Heights regarding a piece on our Beyond the Capital page yesterday. We incorrectly stated that they are running an offer of two nights plus one night free for €120 per person sharing – that should be €120 per person sharing PER NIGHT.

It's still a fantastic offer – runs until July 25th – and there are plenty of others on the hotel's website: aghadoeheights.com.

Apologies too to all the lovely staff at Aghadoe who've been inundated with calls!

A fantastic shot from Gerard Piqué

Winning the World Cup must be one of the greatest experiences that a human can ever enjoy. After four years of hard work, sweat, blood, tackles and breaks you finally get to hoist the greatest hood ornament available in the world's greatest sport.

It must feel almost as good as gozzying onto the back of some auld fella when you're smashed.

Notice Cesc Fabregas, one of the world's most sought after players and a fellow Catalan, breaking his arse laughing about it too. 

Talk to Joe

Or talk like Joe

Wow, we just might have jumped the gun on Friday saying that the Michael Landon story was the best thing at Clamnuts.com.

We're sure there'll be much more love and respect for the Joe Duffy soundboard, where users can have all the joys of pushing Joe's buttons. 

And not just about Meow Meow.

 

Today We Will Worship Michael Landon

Opening up the Clamnuts

Our favourite Irish cartoonist Bob Byrne has recently revamped his site, Clamnuts. It's gone all web 2.0 what with videos and graphics and all types of crazy things that have been around for the past 15 years.

There is an exceptional array of bizarre bric-a-brac from inside Byrne's brain, but pick of the bunch is his webcomic "Today We Will Worship Michael Landon".

If you grew up in any suburb in Ireland in the eighties, you'll recognize the tales of rockers, joining the kiddies' IRA, stealing red berries and bearing clothes peg guns.
