There’s something about a Charlie Sheen Twitter meltdown that gets us all misty eyed, nostalgic even, for those 15 minutes back in 2o11 when he was ‘winning’ at being the world’s foremost gobshite.
Well, this week he was back, letting lovely Denise Richards have it with both barrels on Twitter.
‘”Brooke M is a sexy rok star whom I adore D Richards a heretic washed up piglet Shame pile Happy Father’s Day!!!” he wrote in a language pretending to be English, and has since deleted the evidence. The Internet took a brief interest before going back to deleting LinkedIn updates from its email inbox.
Elsewhere, we found out that we’d been saving the battery on our iPhones the wrong way, Apple bowed to the machine known to us as Taylor Swift and we defended blowjobs.

The shadow of Berkeley remained over the country and isn’t disappearing any time soon. The funerals of two of the victims, Eimear Walsh and Eoghan Culligan, took place in Dublin with more to follow in the coming days.
A special tribute was announced by a group of Dublin GAA supporters.

It was announced that TFI Friday would be returning for a new series before Christmas, news we’re even happier knowing now that Chris Evans has passed the blatant audition for Top Gear that took place during the recent TFI revival on Channel 4.
This was also the day the bad thing happened.
The very bad thing.

Liverpool crept up from the bargain basement and actually spent some money, as the signing of Roberto Firmino from Hoffenheim was confirmed.
Suddenly, the prospect of getting paid £50m for Raheem Sterling was something to be welcomed rather than feared on Merseyside.

As doubts continued to surround the fitness of Jose Aldo for his scrap with Conor McGregor on July 11th, Irish comedian Al Foran gave us a dead on, dead eyed impression of the Dubliner along with Mike Tyson.
Close your eyes and you’ll realise how good he is.
An alleged script from the sixth series of Game of Thrones leaked and there’s a particularly Irish-sounding character in the mix, and it appears that Melisandre has some competition.
Later on Wednesday, this Facebook post from Clodagh Cogley – one of the injured students in last week’s balcony collapse – made us realise how insignificant many of our day-to-day problems are. She’s inspirational.

What started off with a round-table discussion on whether or not we would eat a deep fried Big Mac (consensus: of bloody course we would) ended up with Roy Keane saying some very salty things in public.
We had Charming Keano though, for the most part, as he talked about Fergie, Celtic, Mick McCarthy in front of a rapt Olympia in Dublin.
It’s fair to say he played the hits.
We also learned what happens when you annoy the President of the United States of America.

We awoke to the news that we’ve a bit of a heatwave heading our way, yet Jeanne from the office still saw fit to walk around wearing a blanket.
Oh Jeanne, furthering that stereotype that Irish women are always bloody frozen with the cold, even in 20 degree heat.
The Leinster Leader gave us a glimpse of the headline of the year so far, and we’re siding with the law on this one.
Finally, the US Supreme Court clearly like the cut of Ireland’s jib. Cue applause.
