This is amazing.
The crowd over at College Times have put together some best bits from our beloved Rose of Tralee and come out with this cracker.
Who knew Dáithí Ó Sé was so filthy?!
Only kidding, we did, obviously.

We reckon the women’s Irish rugby team are LOVING Cian Healy right about now!
The rugby player managed to win them free tickets to the sold-out Electric Picnic by getting into the ‘80s spirit and belting out Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Warning: It's pretty epic
Electric Ireland put him up for the challenge, kicking it all off by tweeting: “@jamieheaslip if @properchurch convinces you to do your own #PowerBallads video, we’ve @EPfestival tix for all the @IRFURugby women’s team!”
Cian decided to take matter into his own hands, and tweeted back: “I’m doing my video tonight.. doubt rest of team will.. if I’m Good enough do the girls get a full set of tix?”
He was good enough, and they did get tickets, hurray!
Maybe if he makes it to EP too, Bonnie might let him jump on stage with her?!
See ye there, ladies!
This may be the best thing EVER.
This guy decided to record a conversation between his mom and his aunt and act it out with another guy.
Classic mom conversations with mispronounced TV titles, like True Detectives and another about a transgender man at the grocery store will have you in stitches.
Okay so, we do love a bit of make-up. Okay so, maybe sometimes too much. Yes my mascara was €45, it's YSL, what do you expect?! Here are the signs our love of make-up is well and truly alive:
1.You make this face when you put mascara on
2. You live by this rule…
3. Your liquid eyeliner skills have gone from this…
To this…
4. You want a fictional cartoon character’s make-up
5. The thought of taking off your make up makes you want to hide
6. Ridiculous shades don’t even phase you
7. There are make up stains on everything you own
8. You will never, ever, under any circumstances turn down a free sample
And you will be surprised and excited every time you get one
9. You can do your make up any time, any where
10. You are well aware of the back to MAC policy
11. And finally, you find yourself saying things like this

This puppy’s reaction to the old dial-up internet tone is basically every teenager these days.
What with fancy things like WiFi and broadband, many teens today won’t remember the old sounds, but we do.
Oh, we do.
It’s bringing back memories of Bebo and instant messenger… *shudder*
Sex is great – we all love it! But there are some types of sex that are just better than others. Here's the most memorable sex you will have in your life:
1. First Time Sex
We don’t mean the time that you lost your virginity, because we all know that was awful sex. But after you’ve taught yourself a few moves and finally feel confident that you know what you’re doing under the sheets, first time sex with your new partner feels incredible. It can be awkward and nervous at first, but once you find your rhythm everything falls into place. Sparks fly, birds are singing outside your bedroom window.
2. Make-up Sex
Make-up sex is up there with the best of them. There’s no better way to close an argument with your boyfriend than by getting up close and personal. You’re still angry and hate your partner a little bit because you’re still mad about whatever it was you were arguing about, and all this added ferocity boils into a beautiful concoction of unbelievable make-up sex. If you feel like you’re stuck in a rut and need to spice things up in the bedroom, start a silly argument for the sake of it, so you can jump into make-up sex later. Healthy.
3. Revenge Sex
Revenge sex is an awful and spiteful thing to do, but at the time you’re doing it, it does feel incredible. Because let’s face it, you’re doing it for a reason. You may be doing it to get back at someone who wronged you, and you may feel like an awful human being once that nut is busted, but when that Marvin Gaye music is ringing in your ears and you’re doing the no pants dance, that’s the last thing on your mind. Who ever said that revenge wasn’t sweet?
4. Marathon Sex
Okay, marathon sex is just the best. There’s no better way to explore your partner’s needs and figure out what they like best, then to go at it two, three, or even four times in a row. Practice makes perfect, and boy you’re getting a whole lot of practice!
5. Secret Sex
Secret sex is so, so satisfying because, like Monica and Chandler out of Friends, having to hide your sexual relationship makes it all the more fun and sexy. Whether it’s because you’re cheating (bold), hiding them from your disapproving parents or just sneaking around for the fun of it, secret sex is like Christmas to those dirty thrill seekers. Enjoy it while you can though, because you’ll always get caught in the end.

Summer is almost, if not already, over. You know what that means: woolly jumpers and hot water bottles are back baby! You may act sad, but deep, deep down, you are looking forward to clearer air and counting down the days till Christmas (125 days). Here are the 16 best things about autumn:
1. Less Sweat, More Success
Summer equals sweat. Simple as. Despite the fact that we live in a country where the highest temperature for the entire summer period is 20 degrees, there are some days when it gets a little muggy, also known as being ‘shockingly close’. Autumn brings with it cool breezes and less of a need for lashings of deodorant.
2. A Better Night's Sleep
Trying to sleep in sticky, warm weather isn’t that easy. Too warm with a duvet, too cold without it. Cool nights mean warm blankets, spooning and restful shut eye all round.
3. No More Hayfever
Hayfever, the very bane of many a persons summer. Which is why, come Autumn, noses all around the country clear up, along with the dampened spirits. Goodbye nasal spray, farewell and feck off.
4. Halloween
Halloween is the best. The costumes, the shameless inhalation of sugar, watching Hocus Pocus – it's magical.
5. Blankets Everywhere
Goodbye sheet for a duvet and HELLO thick blankets, how we’ve missed you. Welcome back.
6. Less Grooming
In comes the temperature drop and with it, hair. Goodbye smooth legs, hello a warm layer of hairy insulation. That goes for the men too. Stubble and autumn go hand in hand.
7. Extra Weight Equals Insulation
The beach body is out and the inch to pinch is in. Cuddly is the height of sexy and practical. Hey, there’s only so many layers a person can wear externally, after all.
8. Decent TV Is Back
If you are sick to the back teeth of the same Friends re-runs (LOL, as if), then fear not, we have autumn scheduling to look forward to. The best of the best usually begins in and around September/October. Many nights in to look forward to.
9. The New Fashion Season
Tights, coats, jumpers, scarves, joy. Layering is caring, the more the merrier, nothing is too much, no layer too many. Pile them on and glow with warmth.
10. Oktoberfest
A festival renowned for and based around beer. Could there be anything better we ask you? Not unless you actually go to Germany for it, now there’s the dream.
11. Early Nights Are More Acceptable
When it’s bright until ten at night, going to bed early is a difficult task and by difficult. When, however, the depths of winter set in and it’s dark outside at 5pm, getting into your onesie and hitting the bed at 8pm is totally acceptable. Yes.
12. Comfort Food
Soups, stews, anything that’s hot and warming hits the spot. Farewell salads, see you next May.
13. Hot Drinks
Is there anything better than coming in from the cold and straight into a steaming cup of tea/coffee/hot chocolate/hot whiskey? No, there isn't.
14. Thick Socks
Following a summer of baring our ugly feet (everyone has ugly feet, it’s a scientific fact), letting them retreat to the fluffy depths of some woolly socks is a great moment in itself.
15. Tanning Is Out
16. Everything Is An Instagram Moment
From the leaves on the ground, to the shadows that appear everywhere, to the rich sunsets, everything around you looks ten times more beautiful in autumn. The autumn colour palette itself is enough to warrant those many Kodak moments.

Mornings, who like them? Nobody, that’s who.
This dog knows exactly how we feel when that alarm goes off in the mornings – and he doesn’t like it one bit.
This is so cute!
Oh, Irish TV, you never fail to provide us with humorous incidents (remember Garth Gates?!)
And now there's this…
Last night's National Lottery draw, brought to you by Brian Ormond, went a little bit haywire.
We would say he handled it well but, erm, we can't tell.
All that was missing from the scene was just a tumbleweed, floating slowly through the studio…
Recently, a video of a family trying their damnedest to get a huge sofa into a tiny car went viral…if not, then here it is again!
Everyone remember that amazing episode where Ross is trying to get his new couch into his apartment but can’t seem to get it up the stairs. Rachel and Chandler come to help but Ross gets a little upset, constantly roars “PIVOT” at them. Here's a reminder of the classic moment:
Like we said, a classic.
So, what happens when you combine the two? Well, this:
It's good to be single lots of the time, as much as it is to be in a relationship. But certain times in your life can be better when you're single. Maybe it's that you'll be away and miss them, or sometimes it's just to feel free.
1. When You Want To Travel
Everyone claims that they want to travel the world, but few actually go out there and do it. It’s especially difficult to do if you’re in a relationship and your partner doesn’t see adventuring as being high on the list of priorities. When you’re single you have no one else’s feelings on the matter to take into consideration, just a plane ticket and hope.
2. On A Girls Holiday
There’s always that one poor relationship bound sap who spends their whole lads/ girls holiday desperately trying to avoid temptation, while watching their single friends clean up on action. It’s not that you even want to latch yourself face first on to the nearest possible target, it’s just that the choice to do so, is the best part of all. You’ll never know what tomorrow has in store when you’re a singleton, after all.
3. On Nights Out
Being single in a nightclub (Coppers, for example), is what being single is all about. Getting ready, thinking about the night ahead, no jealous partner sitting at home texting you every few minutes. You’re free to flirt with, get drinks off and meet whomever you wish.
4. When You’re Studying
There’s no greater distraction than a relationship when you’re trying to get your head in the study game. You’re cramming months worth of crap into your head, when all you really want is to go and be loved up. The only option is to turn your phone off in the vague hope that they won’t distract you for twenty minutes. Alas, you can kiss all of these problems goodbye when you’re single. No love woes, no distractions, no problem.
5. During Your College Years
Being in college and being single is the perfect combination. Like tea and toast, eggs and bacon, cereal and milk (mmm…bacon). You’re free to experiment, meet new and interesting people, do whatever it is that you want to do. No long distance other half at home, crying down the phone to you. Bliss.
6. At A Festival
Couples at a festival are like a bad cold that you just can’t shift. One of them is most definitely there out of pure habit and both are trying to avoid an inevitable blow up from occurring. Being single at a festival means the freedom to go and see whatever band tickles your fancy, dancing until 6am if you feel like it and best of all, you’d never know who could end up in your tent…
7. During A Shopping Spree
Who wants to be that boyfriend? You know, the one who sits there with sixteen bags hanging off his arm, pained expression to boot, wishing he was anywhere else but here.
8. During The World Cup
The world cup for anyone not interested in football, was like an extended bout of crippling stomach cramps. Horrific. Painful. Uncomfortable. All the single football hating beings out there got to avoid this painful time and for that they are eternally grateful.
9. When You See How Miserable Your ‘Loved Up’ Friends Are
There’s always a few couples who should clearly not be together, it’s as obvious as the sky is grey. Why they don’t break up is the burning question on everyone’s lips. Why would they, sure isn’t making everyone else around them uncomfortable the whole point of being in a relationship anyway? Rest assured that they spend 90% of the time looking at your carefree single life and crying internally. You’ve got it all.

A parody video fighting for gay marriage rights in Ireland has gone viral – and it’s brilliant!
Set in a world in which gay marriage has been legalized, the video highlights the fact that gay marriage is not the end of the world.
Mary and John have locked themselves up in their home following the passing of the referendum, with a scene similar to that of 28 Days Later.
However, outside, it is clear that all is well, with the message being: “Marriage equality: It’s not the end of the world, lad.”
The video was written and stars Tara Flynn and Kevin McGahern.
Really well done, guys!
