    These were the ten most popular Snapchat filters in 2016

    These helped boost procrastination levels no end in the last 12 months. 2016 wasn’t a great year for everybody but it was a pretty good one for Snapchat.

    PIC: Irish chipper goes above and beyond to grant a sick customer’s cheeky request

    Well played. ‘If you don’t ask, you don’t get,’ the old saying goes and one customer of Feeleys Chippy in Belfast decided to test the limits of that theory when placing an order on Friday evening. So unwell that they were obviously unable to move off the couch, the unnamed customer in question decided to […]

    ‘Gracious’ is not a word you’d use to describe Donald Trump’s New Year’s message

    “And now, we move onto liars.” Donald Trump didn’t reference Father Ted Crilly’s famous Golden Cleric speech in a New Year’s message to his Twitter followers, but the similarities between the two aren’t hard to find. Trump will officially be inaugurated as President of the United States on January 20 but rather than look ahead […]

    The three players you need in your Fantasy Football team this Christmas

    How about Zlat? J-League Derek Wynne’s Sweeper System ensured that they would be top of the J-League table at Christmas time after some fairly average scoring in Gameweek 17, with only two teams in the top five breaking the 50-points barrier. All of the top five have, however, exceeded the 1,000 points barrier, with Michael […]

    PIC: Conor McGregor teases the latest hint about a fight with Floyd Mayweather

    We still have our doubts. Ridiculous as the notion sounded when first floated, the idea of Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather going head to head just won’t go away. At various times over the last year or so, both McGregor and Mayweather have added fuel to the fire on social media, while McGregor obtaining a […]

    There was a very mixed reaction to Carrick on Stag on RTÉ 2 last night

    The response was interesting to say the least. One of RTÉ’s most hyped offerings of the festive season, Carrick on Stag, documenting the antics that regularly take place on stag and hen parties in arguably the stag capital of Ireland, aired on RTÉ 2 last night. It was filmed over, as the programme’s blurb described, […]

    Most importantly, it’s all for a great cause. You may well be among a growing number of people sick to death with the very mention of the words ‘12 pubs’ at this stage, but it’s far more tolerable when there’s a charitable element involved. In Ballinasloe this Friday, for the second year in succession, a […]

    A certain election and a certain President-elect feature quite prominently. Let’s face it, 2016 has been a bit of a shitty year. So shitty has it been, in fact, that if we could re-write a lot of what happened in the last 12 months, we would do so in a heartbeat. It won’t have had […]
