1 FASHION SHOW FOR WILL’S PLAYGROUND: The Cosmopolitan Fashion Show to support Will’s Playground takes place at the Newcastle Parish Centre at 7.30pm, on Saturday, January 27. Tickets are priced €25 and there are cocktails included. This fashion show is not your run-of-the-mill event as you can get to choose from the clothes that have been donated and take them home with you. Once you’ve paid your fee, you can browse through all the clothes on show and claim anything which takes your fancy.
I found it in a drawer the other day my father’s old pipe. He didn’t go in for those bendy Meerschaum-style pipes favoured by Neil Blaney or Gerry Adams. His is a straight briar, in the style of Seán Lemass and Jack Lynch, two men he admired.
