From the Land Down Under? Blog post 1

Published on December 21, 2011 by in In The Papers Today, Lifestyle, Media, Our Favourite Blogs, Travel

As my Pembroke friends are out celebrating year two of the P’OSCARS aka Pembroke Oscars, I’ve decided to venture back into one of my favourite places- Irish Media Watch.

Sports Pic of the Day

Published on December 8, 2011 by in In The Papers Today, Pic of the Day, Sport

Wayne Rooney depicts a lonely figure last night as Manchester United crashed out of the Champions League in Basel last night. United went into the game needing a draw to qualify for the latter stages of the competition but on the night were simply not good enough losing 2-1 to their Swiss hosts. The Red Devils will now go forward and play in the Europa League, the only trophy yet to grace the Old Trafford trophy room during Sir Alex Fergusons tenure as manager.

Song of the Week

Published on December 2, 2011 by in Our Song of the Week

Last week’s ‘Song of the Week’ received plenty of criticism around Pembroke Towers. Although the female contingent were more than happy with the choice – Rihanna’s Greatest Hits – the lads were, lets say, lessed than impressed. So much so that an EGM was called amongst its committee members! After a few stern words were dished out we decided to change the structure and allow one person to decide the theme and songs in order to mix it up. This week was the turn of the one and only Claire Turvey!!! In light of her getting two tickets for Bruce

Pic of the Day – Blow a raspberry

Published on December 1, 2011 by in Entertainment, In The Papers Today, Pic of the Day

  Pictured in today’s Irish Daily Mirror is one cheeky little monkey.  I know I’ve had a cheeky monkey or two appear as my Pic of the day before but I thought this was a cute one worth featuring. They may be fond of bananas but some cheeky monkeys like this little fella are partial to the odd raspberry as well.  This baby macaque blew one at his shocked mother in the Monkey forest on Bali. The expression on the mothers face really does say it all.  If they spoke English what would she be saying?  I’m sure there would
