Oscar Wilde is famous for two things; being gay and being funny. Being a lesbian who likes funny, I was seriously looking forward to seeing An Ideal Husband at The Abbey Theatre.

This week it’s all about gorgeous women in cop shows, and a couple of movies to spice things up. I think there is a lesbian working in Sky, every couple of weeks she makes sure that Boys Don’t Cry is on, as well as more Angelina than any woman can handle. It’d be nice trying though.

Thank god we seem to have crawled out of the era when we all went to lesbian plays/films knowing they’d be crap, but having to do our community duty. This production is professional, perfectly-pitched and thought-provoking.

Le Cirk is a faux-Parisian cafe bar, decorated to look like a place 1890′s arty (absynthe-swilling) folk would have loved. The design is all Edwardian-esque, Lumiere brothers, circus of ye olde years.

Doolin is tiny, and is made up of one street, a pier and lots of B&Bs and hotels. So, most of the eateries are either the pubs or the hotels. The only actual restaurant we found was Bruach na nAille Riverside.

The premise of the film is that, because there is no military draft or conscription in America they are running out of soldiers to fight in Iraq. Therefore, if/when a soldier comes home after completing their tour of duty, he/she can be sent back without their consent – a system called Stop-Loss

One of my favourite places to go for lunch is The Lotts on Liffey Street in Dublin. It’s in a great spot to meet for lunch as it’s near the river, so although I work on the southside I can still meet my sister in there as she works on the northside. The staff are [...]

KT Tunstall and band 8pm 21st June Olympia Theatre Dublin We got to the venue at about 7.30pm and took residence just behind the pit in front of a barrier. The support act was some Scottish fella and his guitar. He said his name was Alan and seemed quite nervous, forgetting the words to some [...]

I’m wracking my brian to think of the last film I saw that was set in Beirut. Not sure if I ever have to be honest. If this film is anything to go by, I’ll be looking out for them – and not just because the women are so beautiful.

Up until last year I was under doctor’s orders not to eat Indian food due to some stomachiness. After getting the all clear, on the proviso I don’t “eat that blow your head off stuff, I don’t want you in here blaming me”, I’m back eating Indian. And oh my god; how did I survive?????  [...]

La Taverna is one of my favourite places to eat in town. The food is simple real Italian food, made with fantastic, fresh ingredients.

Right so, Diary of the Dead is one of those ‘If we make this film with a hand-held camera it’ll look like totally rad and it’ll be like dead cheap’ films. Let’s call it Cloverfieldesque. It does, however, manage to avoid vomit-inducing camera wibbliness (yes it’s a word).

Being a girl pubescent is a bitch. It makes you act like a bitch and it makes you amazed when your friends act like bitches. No one understands you, your body is exactly what it’s not supposed to be and you’ve just fallen in love.
