I hope this is genuine, but can't help but think it must be a spoof. Reading the rest of their stories, it seems to be a decent spoof news blog. Like the Daily Mash would be if it was still funny.

Anyone else built a tunnel from their bedroom to the womens toilets of their local watering hole?

"Customers were seen leaving Campbell’s Sandwich Bar shaking their heads and holding their tuna fillings or egg and onion mix in a small clear plastic bag. Campbell’s told customers it would be another week before they’d get the time to buy bread from the shops and that this was the way shops served sandwiches in places like Spain and France anyway."

I was a bit nervy clicking on this....thought it was rhyming slang

I don't know, I'm sceptical about the veracity of that story.

Given one of the other articles on the website has the headline, "Donegal Players Practise Tyrone Accents, Mannerisms And Odours Before Kerry Clash" with text like the following, "As well as making his players run very hard around the pitch doing laps and practising high jumps and long kicks, McGuinness put on compulsory Tyrone speech and elocution lessons at night. Anyone missing a session was made to do 500 press ups with Jimmy sitting on their back." My money is on it being in the same vein as the Portadown News.

What is it with the Irish and egg and onion sandwiches?

Mentalists.

They offer free egg and onion sandwiches on the Citylink Gold coaches between Aberdeen and Glasgow.

Eating one when you're in an enclosed space full of strangers for 3 hours is outrageous behaviour.
