There’s no doubt the ‘Be like Bill’ memes have taken over Facebook in a big way in the last couple of weeks. But these days it doesn’t take long for a fad to get old and there’s already been a Bill backlash of sorts. If you’re one of the growing band of people sick to the […]

We wouldn’t be getting too excited about a hangover-free Sunday morning just yet. Why? Well if you believe everything to come out of North Korea, you’ll believe that unicorns exist, that former leader Kim Jong-Il wrote 1,500 books in three years and that he claimed 11 hole-in-ones on his way to a 38-under par round […]

That new haircut is bound to have reduced wind resistance too. Conor McGregor could be forgiven for keeping a low profile in the run-up to his bout with Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 197, but that’s not really his style. McGregor was out enjoying himself in Las Vegas last night, touring through Sin City in […]

Die-hard fans of the show will say that one of the many signs of the decline of The Simpsons was when they started putting more effort into couch gags at the start of episodes.

This took a lot of balls to be fair. If you’re too young to have heard of Squeeze, they’re a UK band that first made their way back in the late 1970s and have been recording on and off ever since. The group recently released a new album titled ‘From the Cradle to the Grave’ and […]

If you’re an early to bed, early to rise kind of person, you won’t be doing business with Kanye West. Kanye West is no stranger to coming out with slightly odd statements every now and again, which is why none of us should have been surprised by a tweet he sent out in the early […]

Imagine watching these with your parents. Ireland is a lot different nowadays than it was in the 1980s, when attitudes to sex and all things sex-related weren’t necessarily as liberal as they are today. There’ll always be an element of awkwardness to teaching young people about sex, but we sure hope the kids of today […]
