This is my morning routine: hit the snooze button about a MILLION times, roll out of bed, complain about being cold, sit at the end of my bed for way too long and then leggit out the door with a mouthful of a banana to join the cranky morning rush of commuters.  Ah, the glories […]

It’s the greatest Christmas song of all time. Full stop no comma thank you and goodnight. You can put up all the decorations you want, you can buy a thousands presents and you can dress up as Santa and roar ‘ho, ho, ho’ in our faces but you know and I know that Christmas does […]

Someone help this man. A moment for all those out on the Christmas shopping frontline armed with lists that they don’t understand.

They only really get an outing once a year, but even then they don’t get given much of a chance.  The poor veggies are often rejected, pushed to the side of the plate on Christmas Day while everything else is devoured.  But why do people hate sprouts so much?  Cosmo UK decided […]

‘Christmas light tours’ have basically become a festive tradition in Ireland.  And by ‘Christmas light tours’ we mean the whole fam bundling into the car with hot chocs and driving around housing estates for a gawk.   Maybe it’s just ’cause we’re nosy and we finally have an excuse to peer in peoples’ gardens… Or maybe it’s because […]
