Tonight’s news stories involve ghosts, desserts and Vladimir Putin writing a children’s book about a happy octopus…

You can always rely on JOE to bring you the best and funniest news stories from Ireland and around the world but sometimes it can be a little bit sad, especially when we’re covering the more serious and tragic events.

World peace, no recession, full employment, Ireland win the World Cup.

Any more suggestions?
