Rihanna had a little cry during her gig last night. It happens to the best of us and she is quite literally the best out of any of us. If anything, it would’ve made the concert significantly more enjoyable to see that she’s only human and not immune to the hardships of daily life, which […]

Clothes are important. They protect our modesty and allow us to create an identity that expresses our personalities. Clothes also make it easy to identify who is a lunatic. I’m not entirely satisfied with the names of some clothing, so I’d like to propose more suitable ways of identifying said items. […]

Rihanna’s in town! She’s playing the Aviva tonight and roughly one in five Irish people have been personally affected by one of her songs at 3am in a nightclub. Rihanna is definitely a cool girl and being her friend would be a deeply unsettling task, as you would very quickly realise how uncool you are. […]

Orange most certainly is the New Black It’s quite cruel how we have to wait a whole year for each series, then ultimately end up devouring it in a matter of days. How dare we have no self control. It has come to my attention that watching Orange Is The New Black is a voyage of self discovery. In watching […]

Not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s a football tournament taking place at the moment. A large portion of what’s happening tends to go over my head. But when an extremely Photoshoppable image is delivered like a gift from the Gods above, you can bet your butt I’m going to get involved. Ronaldo made a show […]

There’s a dark side to Cluedo that very few people know about. Some of the characters have very bizarre working relationships, that honestly, we’ve never thought twice about. Until now. Leaked text messages between the famous six have surfaced online. It reveals a very seedy, competitive and slightly sexual world that has potentially ruined the […]

Folks, college degrees are garbage. Fair enough they’re probably important, but my semester in psychology (which legitimately involved a treasure hunt that contributed to our final grade) has yet to prove its relevance to my life. You can tell a lot about a person based on what they’ve chosen to study in college, it also […]

Subtitles are great. There’s very little funnier than a sarcastic subtitle. It makes it seem as if the person put in charge of adding the subtitles is truly sick of their bullshit job, and I can relate to that. (JOKE!) I’m a firm believer that adding stupid subtitles to things is never not funny. Behold, some things […]

So apparently Taylor and Tom are banging. A series of text messages have emerged which prove that Taylor and Tom are definitely involved, but also, worryingly, they’ve already begun to argue. For legal reasons, we cannot disclose the source of these leaked messages, but we can confirm that they are definitely real and definitely not fake. […]

Happy Bloomsday 2016 (for yesterday)! It feels like the Bloomsday decorations are appearing earlier each year. Probably six weeks ago I saw a statue of James Joyce in town. SIX WEEKS before the big day itself. Sake. Confession time: I’ve never read a James Joyce book. Halt your comments, I am fully aware that I am […]

Netflix is the best. That’s literally my Netflix password. Anyway, I’ve a few gripes with Netflix lately. Aside from being a victim of daylight robbery with their recent €3 price hike, there’s a few other things I’d like to change. Mainly, I want Netflix to install software that can detect my mood when I log in, […]

1850 715 815, the Liveline is open. Nothing combines a nation of moaners quite like a daily radio show dedicated to moaning. Not only does Sir Joe Duffy entertain our woes, he also offers a primetime platform to exercise our human right to have a very satisfying whinge. I’ve put together a Liveline Bingo sheet, […]

LinkedIn is a lot to TakeIn. Like most people, I set up my LinkedIn account so I could endorse my friends for stupid things such as ‘being a bitch’ and ‘shifting upwards of 3 people on a night out’. Upon creating my account, I’ve learned that it’s actually not a great social network for those that are fond […]

Remember the 90s? Christ, they were a deeply cringe time. Luckily, the 90s took place before social media arrived, so there’s very little digital evidence of how unbearably uncool we all were. Imagine if mobile phones existed back then? We would’ve text the most pathetic things to our friends, without a doubt. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Teletubbies were a strange bunch. Where do I even begin with their nonsensical ways? Homeboys had television screens in their stomachs, FFS. Not to mention the strange antennas poking out of their spongey little heads? Nothing short of a satellite dish would’ve surprised me with those folk. The last episodes were recorded in 2014, so […]

Google is a worrier’s dream. I Google ridiculous things roughly seventeen times a day. There are some questions that I already know the answer to, but mostly I’m just using it to put my worries at ease. Everyone’s guilty of Googling ridiculous things. If our search histories could talk, we would all be in a large […]

As we’ve learned, sexting is hysterical. The Irish sense of humour goes hand in hand with witty sexts. If you’re looking for a steamy and intimate encounter via text message, it’s probably best that you get in touch with someone exotic like an Italian, French or native of the Aran Islands. Here’s 10 more Irish […]

Reading is for nerds. I recently downloaded the Bible app, just to have it. It’s stored in a special folder called ‘Important’, alongside a takeaway app and a subfolder of my best selfies to be used in the event that I am ever kidnapped. Upon perusing the Bible, I have picked up on SEVERAL hidden […]

Clouds are banter. They simply go about their business on a day-to-day basis and, being the vultures that we are, we sometimes share photographs of them on social media if it suits us. Often, you can see the shapes of familiar things in clouds. I’ve been taking photographs of clouds since I was very young […]

Perfume is wizardry. It can trick people into thinking that you’re a decent smelling creature and almost slightly desirable, it can cover up shameful secrets and, most importantly, it paves the way for friendship in nightclub toilets in the wee hours of the morning. I believe that you can tell a lot about a person […]

Washing clothes is hard. It’s far from black and white. There’s subcategories that include white, off white, light, bright, dark but not fully black, black, hand wash, etc. I cannot cope. On top of all that garbage, you’ve to check the labels to see if there’s any further instructions regarding how warm the water is […]

Everyday anxiety is a pain in the hoop. It tries to prevent you from doing little carefree things such as asking the bus driver how much the fare is, telling the barista you want low-fat milk, meeting the girls for a few drinks or single-handedly corrupting the Tidy Towns Competition. Imagine if our irrational anxieties […]

Our second favourite Bruce is in town (the first being Forsyth, obviously). Even though we still haven’t gotten over the GB situation (Garth Brooks, but also Great Britain stealing our six counties), it’s nice to have Bruce Springsteen in town to distract us all from our impending mortality. There’s a certain type of person that […]

Audrey Hepburn, am I right? No household is complete without a black and white photograph of Audrey delicately hanging somewhere. For some reason, she is idolised to within an inch of her life and I can’t quite figure out why. Not to be a big cynic, but it’s very likely that “fans” of Audrey’s can […]

Life is tough. As females, there are so many everyday struggles and hardships that we have to endure, such as finding a nice outfit, making sure there isn’t a hair on our perfect bodies and hoping that one day we will truly be considered equal to men. With that in mind, I have come up […]

Handbags, am I right? They can very easily tread a very fine between being practical and stylish, as opposed to comfortable and hideous. Nobody is an exception to the rule that you must have at least one repulsive handbag stuffed in the back of the wardrobe in the hopes that a burglar will stumble across […]

Prince Charles and Camilla are currently on a Royal visit to Donegal. It’s not really a big deal. Two people are basically on holidays and there’s a lot of photographs being taken to document it.

Instagram is wonderful. It allows you to share photographs with friends and family, that are filtered, edited and cropped to within an inch of their life. Niall Horan is a multimillionaire who somehow manages to operate his Instagram in the exact same manner that a very basic bitch would. It’s nothing to be ashamed of […]

Last night, the 2016 Billboard Music Awards took place. As expected, many famous people attended and they did their best to wear nice clothes and appear respectable. For the record, I think everyone looked lovely, however I’m still going to compare their expensive outfits to ridiculous items anyway because it’s something I enjoy doing. Madonna OR […]

There is very possibly a direct correlation between your name and chosen career. Certain names just scream certain professions when you hear them. For example, Mick is such a Garda name, Niamh is very much a teacher name and Ann is probably the most Mam name that has ever existed. With that in mind, I’ve […]
