Pic of the Day – Goatee the surfing goat!

Published on January 30, 2012 by in Pic of the Day

Pictured in today’s Irish Sun is what may surprise a lot of people, a surfing goat called Goatee.   The two year old goat is a real water baby and loves nothing more than donning her special life-jacket to catch a few waves.  Speaking of Goatee’s first seaside trip, Dayna McGregor of Pismo, California, said: ‘She did pretty well; she got up on a couple of waves. I say got up – we put her on a couple.’ Online videos of Goatee, who may have been inspired by the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds album, are now an internet hit.

This picture was taken by Adam Porter, Chairman of the Buncrana Camera Club during a parting of the clouds on Sunday night when the rain stayed away just long enough to give him a chance to take the images.  The

Pic of the Day – Boyz and their toys

Published on January 19, 2012 by in Entertainment, In The Papers Today, Pic of the Day, Travel

Pictured in today’s Metro Herald is Shane Lynch with a collection of car toys.   This isn’t generally a sight that you could see but Boyzone’s Shane had a purpose and was at the Topaz garage in Glasnevin to launch the company’s new efficient driving campaign.  The Petrol station chain claims its AA quality approved fuels contain a unique additive that makes them 3% more efficient. Let’s hope Shane doesn’t take a trip up the motorway in one of these cars because I wouldn’t imagine he would get too far. Picture; Maxwells
