The red tops don’t seem to want to let the GAA porn star story go. All that and more in today’s Tales from the Tabs.
The Irish Sun leads with, ‘Hurler and the 3 porn stars’. Apparently ‘randy’ GAA star Greg Jacob enjoyed a recent night out with his porn star pals in London, and the Sun has the snaps to prove it. This one comes on the back of the tale of the GAA star appearing in a vid called Tanya Tate’s Sex Tour of Ireland. We are still trying to figure out why he’s getting a hard time over this one.
Page 2 has slightly better news: ‘Recession all spent’ is the headline. Apparently our economy is back on track according to industry chiefs. I get the impression that if the worst recession in the history of the state was actually over it would earn a bigger slot in the paper than a couple of columns on page 2 of the Sun.
The Irish News leads with the story of a school in north Belfast which lost 26 pupils during the Troubles. It has posted pictures and details of the former students, which came from both sides of the divide, onto its website.
The Irish Daily Mail leads with the story of the funeral of Daniel McAnaspie, the 17-year-old who was murdered while in state care. Children’s Minister Barry Andrews was photographed by the paper ‘enjoying an ice cream as mourners gathered to pay their last respects.’ Minister Andrews did not attend – he was, said the paper, ‘strolling on the east pier in Dun Laoghaire to celebrate the restoration of a bandstand’.
Page three features a rubbish story about John O’Shea getting married (when he should be at the World Cup only for what those cheating French did to us), but if you ignore that one and skip to the bottom of the page you will find something well worth a read.
‘Feline good! Obsession is wild cats’ favourite smell’ is the headline. Apparently Calvin Klein’s Obsession aftershave was used in a test carried out at the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo in New York and ‘lions and tigers are driven crazy by the top selling cologne.’ That is exactly the type of test you would expect to take place in a zoo in New York. Zookeepers watching too much Sex and the City.
