The Irish Times is the only paper we buy in this house. It may be often dismissed as the best of a bad bunch, but I think it genuinely is a good read, and I’ve great time for some of the contributers. Emmet Malone for example in the sport section is top class for League of Ireland coverage, and there’s a guy you might have heard of called VINCENT BROWNE who writes for the paper on occasion too.
The Gloss is a fashion magazine that comes with the paper monthly. It’s everything you’d expect from a magazine that was apparently €4.50 a month before merging with the newspaper. This months The Gloss includes a guide to saving money from some faces from the world of style and fashion, and it makes for a great read. So much so, that I have decided to give Arnotts CEO Nigel Blow the illustrious (and eh….brand new) Come Here To Me Martyr Of The Month award.
“I’ve joined a Working Man’s Club in my local village in England so I can get a pint for £2.45! And I’ve downgraded from the €7 shoe shine to the €5 option in Dublin Airport.”
Nigel, we salute you.
Hard Times.

Come Here To Me! 
And don’t forget the brilliant product placement, which, of course, may precede Nigel’s tenure.

Arnotts financially contributed heavily to the project, the minor advertisement – which if my noggin recalls correctly was somewhat controversial when first revealed – is well worth one of our more unusual sculptures.
Agree with Ultan, always loved the hags!
