Stories featured in Humans of Dublin have hit the headlines on numerous occasions for their ability to bring the internet to tears, and this latest one is no different.

Shared on the Humans of Dublin Facebook page last night, internet users were given an insight into the love story that unfolded between a dancer and her late husband over the course of 57 years.

"I started dancing when I was about 10-years-old. I met beautiful people throughout my whole life because of it. I did Irish dancing and afterwards moved up to the ballroom, we did all sorts of dance," Clare told photographer Peter Varga.

"This is how I met this lovely man too," she continued. "He was so handsome, you know? I was walking in Herbert Park with two girls when I saw him again, he was with his two friends."

"They said they were going to the Ritz that night and asked if we wanted to join them," she recalled. "I will always remember that film, The Desperados. We nearly weren't let in because we were so young. We all had to stand up, as if in high heels, just to get in."

Just 16 when she met him, she revealed: "I never had anyone else, before him or after. That is how we spent 57 years dancing together. He was a lovely and handsome man, you know?"

Peter then captured the moment his subject proudly clutched a photo of herself and her husband, and the internet is in bits this morning after it.


Commenting on the latest post, one Facebook user wrote: "Thank you for sharing your story. I love the photo of the two of you and I'm so glad your "night at the Ritz" lasted for 57 years."

"My parents met on a blind date to go to a dance on Halloween in 1957," wrote another follower of the page. "They got engaged that Christmas and were married the day after Valentine's Day in 1958"

"They were together a week shy of 50 years when my dad passed away. Sometimes those random chance encounters lead people to the person they're supposed to be with. Here's to a lifetime full of love!"

Aw ladies, it's too early for this!

The Humans of Dublin #TakeACloserLook collection is in connection with Vodafone, and snaps of Clare were captured on the Vodafone Smart Platinum 7.

The excitement for tomorrow's match against Italy is building, and so is the spirits of the Irish fans abroad in France.

The Balls.ie Euro 2016 Group on Facebook is full of match-goers asking important questions – like where is the nearest session and if there's any toilet roll about.

From fans playing football with local kids to loosing a tooth and a bank card, these posts are definitely what make us uniquely Irish:

Sure, where would you get us from at all, at all.

She died in 2009 in a freak skiing accident that left her husband, Liam Neeson, a widower, and their young sons, Micheál and Daniel, without a mother. 

But seven years on from her death, Natasha Richardson's still grieving spouse has opened up about his loss – and his words will undeniably tug at your heartstrings.  

"They say the hardest thing in the world is losing someone you love. Someone you grew old with and watched grow everyday. Someone who showed you how to love. It’s the worst thing to ever happen to anyone," he begins his Facebook post, which was shared yesterday and includes a touching black and white snap of the pair before her death. 

The 64-year-old Ballymena actor continued: "My wife died unexpectedly. She brought me so much joy. She was my everything. Those 16 years of being her husband taught me how to love unconditionally."

And he went on to offer some advice: "We have to stop and be thankful for our spouses. Because, life is very short. Spend time with your spouses. Treat them well.

"Because, one day, when you look up from your phone, they won’t be there anymore. What I truly learned most of all is, live and love everyday like it’s your last. Because, one day, it will be.

"Take chances and go live life. Tell the ones you love, that you love them everyday. Don’t take any moment for granted. Life is worth living.”

The pair had married in 1994, but Natasha died in March 2009 at a New York hospital after receiving a brain injury while on a family ski holiday in Canada. She was 45. 

Her and Liam's sons Micheál and Daniel are now aged 21 and 20.

Some things should be confined to the past, simple as.

A phone just won't swing it in this case.

Facebook have paid a 10-year-old boy a whopping $10,000 (€8,700) after he identified a problem with the company’s photo-sharing app Instagram.

Facebook offers a ‘bug bounty’ for anyone who reports any weaknesses with any of their platforms.

Jani has now become the youngest ever recipient of the prize money after discovering problems with the comments section on Instagram when malicious code was typed in.

“I could have deleted anyone's comments from (Instagram accounts). Even Justin Bieber's," Jani said of the problem.

Jani is even too young to have his own Instagram and Facebook accounts under their terms of service which makes his discovery even more impressive.

Learning how to code from YouTube videos, he is considering a career in data security which he seems to be already highly qualified.

Jani is planning on spending his newfound fortune on a new bike and a football.

Facebook can be a minefield at times, and with so many changes happening on social media lately, we honestly don't know if we're missing out on something or not.

Well, it turns out we are. Our messages. Not all of our messages, but some of them at least.

As it turns out, there's another secret inbox folder on Messenger, and you could be missing out on loads of texts.

It kinda works like a spam folder on email, but if you use your Facebook for business, you might have many unnoticed messages:

When in the Messenger app, head into Settings:

Then, select People and then Message Requests:

Now, click See filtered requests:

And there's your messages:

Simple (but Facebook probably should have told us about it)!

Happy April Fools Day everyone. And by 'happy,' we of course mean 'a bit stressful,' as you try to wade through all the potentially false stories on your Twitter feed today.

Here are a few of the ones that nearly got us (we said nearly, people)…

1. Professor Green is changing his name

2. Woman's Way is getting a sister (brother?) publication

3. As is Loose Women

4. Tom Fletcher's toddler son Buzz is set to be a rock n' roll superstar

5. Lyons' Tea and HB are teaming up

*vomits*

6. Four Star Pizza are training in new "semi-feral" pizza delivery horses

7. The Aran Islands are getting a new addition

8. H&M's new collaboration is a change from Balmain

And it only includes Mark's signature grey t-shits and jeans:

9. 'Starting tonight, nightclubbers will be able to tuck into a Smokey Bacon Burger without ever leaving the dance floor…'

And a special mention has to go to #10, Google's Mic Drop feature, which caused something of a catastrophe on Gmail this morning.

The best way to anger Gmal users? Add a second "send" button that automatically sends a Mic Drop GIF to whoever you're emailing, and then MUTES the conversation so you don't receive any replies.

Honestly Google, what were you thinking?

Hopefully we're done with all of this madness until next year.

There are a fair few iced treats that Irish people hold dear to their hearts – Choc Ices, Orange Splits and Brunches to name just a few.

But one Cork man’s dessert was left lacking earlier this week, and he wasn’t going to keep quiet about it.  

Darryl O’Connell, from Goleen, County Cork, took to HB’s Facebook page on Monday to voice his concerns at “the severe reduction on the sprinkles applied” to his “personal favourite”, the trusty Brunch ice cream – and their reply was pretty amazing.

After “after a long day working on the farm pulling beet” he opened one of HB’s “delicious ice creams” to find it looking a little sadder than usual.

You can see how strongly Darryl felt from his post here:

Dear HB ice creams,I am a loyal customer of your delicious ice creams, My personal favourite being the brunch. In…

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to  be an isolated incident.

However, Miley seems pretty satisfied with her exceedingly sprinkled Brunch.

Thankfully, HB have since replied to Daryl’s post and promise they’re going to investigate. Phew!

This isn’t the first time that our favourite childhood treats have let us down. In recent years, Irish chocolate-lovers seem to be coming across more and more cases of “shrinkflation”.

Take the drastic reduction in Quality Street size, for example:

Is nothing sacred?

Facebook always seems to hide little things for us, only for one person to figure it out and then the whole Internet turns crazy for it.

And the latest secret game is no different. But, if you're worrying about lengthy cheat codes or hidden entries, fear not because this basketball game is pretty easy to get into.

Once Facebook has ensured you've downloaded their latest version of Messenger, all you need to do is send a basketball emoji to a friend.

Yep, it's that easy – but be warned, it can become addictive.

Soon we'll all be on Messenger just to play games and not to…erm, talk to our friends. 

Social media strikes again.

Momentum for Leo's Oscar win has been building for weeks now. So much so that an Irish Facebook group was made under the name, "If Leo wins the Oscar, everyone meet at the Spire."

Now, even with our own small parties, times and places can get muddled up and it can be a big mess, but one man made his mess public… to 15,000 people.

Joe.ie noticed that poor Ian Colton showed up at the Spire in Dublin this morning at 6am, only to be left alone in the cold.

Understandably, he was a bit annoyed and wrote on the FB group, "Lads WTF? I was there by myself since it was announced?"

But then Ian realised his mix-up when one woman commented, "doesn't it start at 6pm?" Ooops!

We're still feeling for the poor lad, he must have been freezing standing at the Spire all alone. Don't worry Ian, we'll all be there later.

When one Dingle man innocently posted an advertisement to the Dingle What's On page, he probably did not expect it to garner the reaction it has. 

Having had over 8.5 thousand reactions at the time of writing and picked up by national news websites, it's safe to say his wife at home is going to be less than impressed. 

The couple had recently adopted a little pup only to find out that Siobhan was in fact allergic to dogs. But instead of posting a straight forward ad to the page, this cheeky husband instead decided to have a little fun. 

This is Lexi, she's an 8 week-old German Sheppard, I bought Lexi as a surprise for my wife but it turns out she is…

Posted by Dingle What's On on Thursday, February 18, 2016

"This is Lexi, she's an 8 week-old German Sheppard," begins the seemingly innocuous post. 

"I bought Lexi as a surprise for my wife but it turns out she is allergic to dogs so we are now looking to find her a new home.

"Her name is Siobhan, she is 39 years old, a beautiful and caring woman who drives, is a great cook and keeps a good house."

Touché, good sir. 

Though many of the commenters are now commending the man's bravery considering the wrath that may be felt when he returns home. 

"Celibacy is in your future," said one poster, to which the man responds: "If she gets hold of me I don't think I'll have anything to be uncelibate with!"

Ouch, but we still can't blame him. Just LOOK at that pup's little face…

If you're white and Irish then you've probably had a fake tan disaster at some stage.

Desperate to emulate our sun-kissed Mediterranean counterparts, a load of us have sadly ended up orange of skin and brown of palm.

It's a disaster that even the rich and beautiful (we're looking at you, Mariah) know all about.

However, suffice to say that it is unlikely you’ve ever been experienced anything as remotely disastrous as one Imogen Silversides.

The Yorkshire native spotted a tutorial online which praised the virtues of using a spongy paint roller to apply an even layer of sun-kissed tan.

She tried the technique out for herself – though sadly the results were not quite as she envisioned.

Who ever the girl was that recommend to apply fake tan with a paint roller is one lying fuck. Don't think I'll be at work Friday

Ending up a shockingly deep mahogany colour, she subsequently took to her Facebook page to share an eye-catching snap.

“Whoever the girl was that recommend to apply fake tan with a paint roller is one lying f***,” Imogen wrote. “Don't think I'll be at work Friday.”

“U look fantastic girl just one thing u should be painting walls with these not urself,” joked one commentator.

“Me the other week thank god that sh** came off,” said another. A third quipped: “I've had darker tan.”

The post has now gone viral, notching up 40,000 reactions and some 5,000 shares.
