Spring Forward Fall Back

Spring ForwardIt’s that time of the year again, when we all struggle to remember if the clocks go forward or back.  One way to remember is this little saying “Spring Forward, Fall Back”.  So in Spring the clocks go forward and in Fall (or Autumn to you and me) they go back.fall-back

 

Happy Halloween from all at Fitzpatrick Wholesale.

 

Giant Minion Balloon Terrorises Irish Motorists

Inflatable Minion

In what can only be Gru’s most diabolical world domination attempt yet, a giant inflatable Minion wreaked havoc on the residents of Santry when it flew onto the Old Swords Road. Traffic was halted, reports The Journal, and heart palpitations were  endured, reports us.

Wow Pacific Rim 2 look great so far.

It was quite an odd thing to have to report,” she later spoke of the trauma. Thankfully the incident seemed to cause little damage other than one unlucky motorist losing a wing mirror.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

The gardaí eventually arrived at the scene to deflate the gentle beast. With its limp corpse being carted away by professionals in a wheelbarrow, we can rest assured knowing that the evil here has been defeated.

Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Buzzfeed – Americans Pronouncing Irish Names

 

Always a favourite. American Buzzfeed writers (or just people Buzzfeed found on the street? They never say who these people are in these videos. And those two groups of people don’t necessarily have to be mutually exclusive, one supposes.) try their darndest to pronounce Irish names, fadas and shéimhús and all.
