Culchie Christmas Catch-Up

Ladies and gentlemen  the Christmas season is almost at an end and while we’ve been very busy entertaining ourselves in order to keep you entertained in the past months we’re taking a little relaxation time.   Things might be a little quiet around here for the next week what with all those TV movie repeats,  turkey [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (14)

There are some sore heads this morning after an early start on the #dubcrawl trail hence the delayed Catch-Up this week.  (Ouchy).
So what happened this week? Charleze Theron handed a sneaky victory to Ireland. The Top Gear Live show is attracting thousands. Electric Picnic tickets went on sale and I couldn’t get my [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (13)

You know, it comes to Tuesday every week and I think ‘I must start the Catch-up’ but inevitably I put it on the long finger until Friday morning comes around when I scramble, bleary eyes and uncaffeinated to put the post together. I’ll be better next week, pinky swear!

FYI we will be Live [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (12)

Which part of Henry’s hand isn’t touching the ball?
Sports
Look at us, we have a sports section this week!  Some people are calling it Handball Gate others are inspired to create poetry and poor old Anto is simply outraged.
Movies
Only a few days to go before the general release of the frankly terrifying [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (11)

Three very important things occurred to me this week while I prepared the catch-up. Firstly everyone and yes I mean YOU should go see Terminus, the new play in the Peacock Theatre in Dublin. Don’t make me come over there!
Secondly, what a brilliant vital tool the new youth website Reachout.com is for young people. Yes, [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (10)

Burrrrrr it’s cold out lately but we’ve been keeping very busy to keep our temperatures up and  to ward of  the dreaded Piglet Flu.  Apparently 30,000 people contracted Swine Flu this week. Something just squeals tales of self-diagnosis for a few free days in bed.
Music
Do a boy a favour and throw some questions at [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (9)

As the winter begins to set in, Culch.ie is slowing down. We’re being thoughtful, bracing ourselves for the harsh times ahead. Or something…
It’s been a quieter than normal week on Culch.ie, but there’s still been plenty of activity to keep readers happy. I’ve even been philosophical about it, asking what you suggest we do over [...]

It’s Friday, again. Where do the weeks go? As we move closer to Halloween, the Oktober Fest continues and there’s some fun events to look out for over the next few weeks, not least of all The Chocolate Festival (more to come on that this week).
But as the weekend closes in and it draws  near [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (6)

Let’s all go to the Lobby, Let’s all go to the Lobby, Let’s all got to the Lobby…
Movies are certainly the order of the week this week. If you are finding it hard to choose between the animated (UP), the sadly-no-longer-animated (Ledger in Parnassus) and the re-animated (Zombieland) why not let our Culch reviewers point [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (5)

It’s October already! So much to do, so little time. Last week saw the passing of Arthur’s Day which we fully believe should be a public holiday from now on. We are also being a very cultured lot this week, feasting in the goodies of the Dublin Theatre Festival.
October is going to be a very [...]

Culch.ie Catch-Up (4)

First thing is first, we got short-listed for a Web Award!  Wohoo!
Secondly, this weeks catch-up is a little early because at this very moment myself and half of Team Culch.ie are flying high over head on their way to Scotland to see Dave Gorman perform on a train carriage in the middle of nowhere. [...]
