by One of my father-in-law’s favourite songs is the classic Irish Ballad, Danny Boy but even he would have to admit that this version by The Muppets leaves his efforts falling way short.
This one’s for Dan Dan!

Waterford’s reaction to Newgate Shopping Centre objections
Wellboy at Up The Deise has truly outdone himself this time with this hilarious skit on the (likely) reaction of Waterford City Council to an objection submitted against the proposed new shopping centre on Newgate Street in Waterford City.
Some of you may have already seen a (cruder) variation of this same video based around Cristiano Ronaldo’s on/off move from Manchester United to Real Madrid (not for the faint hearted or easily offended though).

D’unbelievable Irish School Teacher
Classic footage of the infamous headmaster of Glengooley National School from the stage show D’Video by comedy duo D’unbelievables (otherwise known as Pat Shortt and Jon Kenny). I my opinion, this is one of the funniest pieces of video footage ever recorded.
It is jam packed with witty anecdotes from Irish schooling life and never fails to make me laugh. I’ve yet to meet a single Irish person who, upon seeing it for the first time, doesn’t immediately react by naming a school teacher from their own school that he reminds them of. My only regret is that I never got to see this show live.
