Sick of Facebook? Then try one of the various parodies of the social networking site(now home to 131,660 Irish people).
First up is Arsebook. org, a one-page format with a funny name.
Hatebook. com is a little more elaborate, connecting you with the things you hate. Positive.
Finally, the funniest is Crackbook (www. theinternetnowinhandybookform. com/crackbook) "an addictive social utility that makes you feel that you're connecting with people when actually you're just not."
Book ahead Roisin Murphy, one of the most underrated pop stars around, comes home for a gig in December following the release of her excellent second solo album Overpowered. On 9 December she'll end her extensive European tour in The Village on Wexford Street in Dublin . . . far too small a venue if you ask me.
