Are you startin' or wha'?

If you're new in town and you want to have a little look around Skangerland then this is the place to start. A few old favourites:
Da Bertie Code
And that's why on Sundays we have a packet of Tayto and a pint of Bass
Garda Reserve
No Change Given
The Irish Sopranos
Bada Bing - they didn't call him the Boss for nothing
Behave
McDowell's other new job?
Mary Harney Decides
yeah but no but yeah but
Liffey Driving
Use it or lose it
Now check out a few more pages and we hope you see something you like. You'll find a mixture of the serious and the frivolous, but that's life and we make no apologies for it. Jaysus knows we could all do with a laugh the odd time.

Panto season

It's definitely all got a bit (more) stupid.

Michael Lowry to star in pantomime as 'Good Mayor' (makes a change from his usual role as limelight-hog and tax-dodger).

And in Kerry, "Dozens sympathise with sex offender" (dozens including a Parish Priest, according to Mark Little - nice timing and PR skills there Father Mc Priesty).

Aren't we a grand little country?

Molloy would not be impressed

Dear Bicycle, I shall not call you bike...

According to Dublin City Council the new €59,950,000 Samuel Beckett Bridge is "an important pedestrian and cycle crossing facility".

If that's the case then why are the cycle facilities so comprehensively shite?

Just how cretinously bad they are is described in impressively calm and well-illustrated detail here.

Education Educashun Edewkashin


I'm all for the separation of church and state, but I'm reluctant to support an educational campaign group that has a spelling mistake in its own name.
