Had a very long frustrated exchange with my fella few days ago where he was going "that actress you love, Nicolette. Something Nicolette, come on, the one you love. Maybe Australian?" and I am of course responding "Nicole Kidman?? Yeah, Nicole Kidman!"
He meant Toni Collette.

absolutely any excuse to get this vital issue on the public agenda

A chara,

The role of Uachtarán na hÉireann comes with so few powers, but is well suited to representing the nation's morals, culture and spirit. I find it sad then that candidates have yet to take a position on if they would champion the return of animals to Ireland's coins.

The stag, salmon, woodcock and others were a celebration of Irish nature that brought delight to young and old alike, and now on euro coins would spread even further. The president may not hold any sway on how much money is in our pockets, but surely a call from the Áras to make that money charming again could not be ignored.

Is mise le meas,

Kubrick's ‘The Shining’ and ‘The Muppet Show’ were filming next door to each other at Elstree Studios, and that’s how Danny Lloyd got to visit and hang with Kermit in 1979.
