We're delighted that Bulmers sponsored the Brunch Club with their new range of flavoured ciders, Forbidden Flavours. It was time for something a little edgier, so they provided their four new bottles of sweet deliciousness in a form of Cloudy Lemon, Strawberry & Lime, Juicy Pear and Berry Berry. They were truly delicious!
We were also lucky to have Aperol as one of the sponsors today. Aperol is an Italian aperitif made of bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona among other ingredients. It's delicious when enjoyed as part of an Aperol spritz, or in a cocktail, and it definitely went down a treat today.
City mottos, much like the advice of Irish mammies, come with good intentions but are often out of touch with reality. Around the world, cities cling proudly to little sayings, preferably Latin and suitably obscure. Each carefully embroidered on their crests, as though a handful of words can neatly capture centuries of colloquial urban existence. […]
A Skort by Any Other Name On a humid afternoon this weekend at St Peregrine’s GAA Club Blanchardstown, west of Dublin, thirty camogie players took the field not in the sport’s traditional skorts, but in shorts. They weren’t in war paint or waving placards but they may as as well have been. The Kilkenny and […]

It has been 10 years since Dublin City Council handed the world’s richest mouse a free pass to the Spire Into a Giant Lightsaber and didn’t even ask for lunch money. It was December 2015. The Force Awakens was about to drop, and Disney, a company worth hundreds of billions, wanted to light up the […]

You’ve done your civic duty and supported a […]
Sheela-na-Gigs are carvings, mostly stone, mostly medieval, of women displaying their genitals. Part warning, part weapon, part wild feminine energy. We’re talking full squat, vulva wide, ribs showing, boobs drooping, face sometimes skull-like. In a country where women’s bodies were hidden, punished, and moralised for centuries, it’s wild that these figures not only existed but […]
