Six Good Reasons...why we love doing a car boot sale

Sick of that old sixties vinyl collection cluttering up the hallway? Exasperated by the pile of Superman comics in the downstairs loo? Let's face it, here's a great opportunity for throwing out your partner's junk. Exercise a little deceit - excuse me, I mean tact - when you're loading the car.

Funny story: Come Dine With Me - if you're hard enough

Come Dine With Me - if you're hard enough

Is it just me, or has the Channel Four 'Come Dine With Me' show gone down the pan? Some years ago, I admit, I watched the occasional episode. Entertaining moments arose from time to time. An appealing new recipe to try, perhaps. Someone who had something remotely interesting to say. The sarcastic commentary, of course, was always the essence of the show's success. But things have chang...

Funny story: The Definitive Ten Point Guide To Stumbling Through Life Without Major Distress

The Definitive Ten Point Guide To Stumbling Through Life Without Major Distress

1)Stop exercising it's making you ill. It gets in the way of drinking time, trash T.V. and arguing with your family. The lycra makes you look ridiculous. Elasticated waistbands aren't that bad. 2) Ditch the diet. For good. Your adult weight has gone from 120 to 160 pounds over the course of a year. Up and down like an out-of-control elevator.

Flaky, Feisty and Surprisingly Full-Bodied, Gillian McKeith is back

Realising I was about to get the celebrity interview of the year, I decided to pace myself. The woman was already disastrously close to...

He's the brash, public face of Ryanair, but who is Michael O'Leary?

With so much negative press about him, I was a little apprehensive about facing Michael O'Leary. He'd agreed to meet me for brunch at a stylish bistro in Grafton Street. Despite a hazy mental image of his face, I recognised him the instant he came through the door. The swagger, the expensive suit, the manic eyes: they all announced The Man. He ordered us both a full Irish breakfast and a select...

The man of the moment, Louis Walsh, talks frankly about his recent brain implant

Universally known as a bit of a tit, I resolved to bring an open mind to my meeting with Louis Walsh. Only six weeks after his well-publicised brain implant, he agreed to meet for lunch at his favourite greasy spoon in one of Dublin's murkiest back streets. ('I like to keep it real,' he told me inscrutably.) Louis flounced in, 40 minutes late, wearing a rather fetching two-tone green tank top...
