Justin Timberlake sings the iconic Auld Triangle

JUSTIN Timberlake has tackled the Luke Kelly classic for the soundtrack of the new Coen brothers movie.

The new movie Inside Llewyn Davis centres around New York’s Greenwich Village in the early 1960s.

Reaction to Timberlake has been mixed with some claiming he has adopted a fake Irish accent. “What's the story with the put on Irish accent?” asked one commentator, who said: “It probably would be a decent version of the song only for that.” Another listener said: “Not bad....can't hold a candle to Luke, but kudos for putting new blood to it.”

DE KERRY KILLERS

It’s amazing how much just an accent can change a classic scene as this dubbed clip from cult flick Pulp Fiction illustrates.

John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson’s characters, and in particular this scene, have been copied and quoted many times over the years – but never quite like this. Someone has managed to to get the voice-dub pretty dead on and with a comical Kerry accent.




For those of you who don't know where Kerry is, it is in the south west of Ireland ...................... and For Americans ....... Ireland is in Europe.

'WOULD YOU CURE ME FOR A LANGER BAR ?'

'CLOSER ............'

Sweet shop goes pure Cork with ‘Langer bar’

The owners of an old-style sweet shop have upped the bar for loyalty to their home county of Cork — by naming their latest bar after one of its best known words: "langer".

 Frank Nixon and Kate Walsh, owners of the Half-Door Sweet Company on Maylor St in Cork City, put the distinctive product on sale last Saturday and have been blown away by the popularity it has attracted already.

 "We called the bar the Langer for two reasons," said Mr Nixon. "The shop itself is a Cork family-owned company, we are both from Cork. There is nothing out there for that and we wanted to create something for Cork people because Cork people are very proud of their county. We thought ‘Langer bar’: It’s a bit of craic, a bit of fun."

 The wrapper is even emblazoned with the slogan "pure Cork boy". Last May,

Mr Nixon’s triplet nephews became the first to sample the bar. After they approved it went on sale. "They are flying off the shelves," said Mr Nixon. "Everyone is loving the name.

We had a guy who came in tonight who had got an email from a friend of his in Holland asking him to go out and buy two bars and send them over."

 

 The taste, described as richer than many premium chocolate bars, has attracted a loyal following. "People are coming back for the taste.

We have had one or two customers who have come in two or three times a week to buy it."

A Tea Partier Decided To Pick A Fight With A Foreign President ..... It Didn't Go So Well.

Michael D. Higgins (who was elected president of Ireland last year) is fed up with over-the-top Tea Party rhetoric, and he isn't afraid to show it. Listen to him call out radio host Michael Graham on everything from health care to foreign policy in this heated exchange from 2010. Trust me, you don't want to miss this one.
