So carrots don’t help your vision?? Not gonna lie, I was still believing one too many of these myths well into my twenties. After learning about Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny (only cool kids never bought this one) you’d think I’d have learnt to not trust every single thing my parents told […]

If you’ve been to an Irish wedding you’ll know that speeches form a big part of the goings on, and that they tend to be fairly samey. That’s why it’s great when someone tries something a little different when it comes time to say their piece, and there’s no better example than this Irish mammy picking up the mic and rapping to […]

The tech world is telling us that VR is the next big technology that we’ll all soon be embracing. They’re starting to become so mainstream that they’re even being sold in Dunnes Stores.
