IF YOU’RE FED up of receiving socks as a Christmas present, then why don’t you buy yourself and your loved ones something interesting this festive season? We have decided to create our own wishlist of tech gadgets and goodies that we’d love to see under our tree this year.
Let us know what would make your wishlist in the comment section.
This eReader is great for curling up in bed with. Lightweight, small and with its own built in back-light. You’ll be entertained and save electricity all at the same time. Win-win.
Because if you’re not touching a screen like you’re an extra from Star Trek this Christmas, then what are you doing with your life?
Pop these on and voila! No more listening to boring conversations during Christmas dinner. And you’ll look pretty snazzy too, especially in the pink ones.
With games such as Grand Theft Auto 5, Battlefield 4 and of course, FIFA 14, those long dark winter months will fly by. You may lose contact with the outside world but it’ll be worth it in the long run.
This lovely DSLR will make even your worst Christmas cooking look great. We should know, as we’re really bad cooks.

Lovely little movie, but perhaps an example where they could have considered adding subtitles as some of the accents will be quite tough for non Irish to follow … especially if this is aimed at a foreign audience. Having lived abroad for over 7 years, quite a number of my friends (for whom English is their second if not third language) have commented on this at one time or another.
For example, it amazed me the first time i saw it, but on Belgian TV (for a Belgian audience remember), its quite common to see some shows to put in Flemish/Dutch subtitles when the person speaking has a very strong accent!
Hi Feilim,
As it happens, there is another version of Bye Bye Now which has subtitles on it for that exact reason. That version (with subtitles) will be sent to China as far as I know. The subtitled version is the one that has been so successful on the international circuit (the filmmakers have won a number of major international awards for the doc).
So good point by your good self – and one they have sorted!
Cheers, Susan
Wonderful little movie.
Poor Superman :(
Love the tshirt Ross, are ur changing rooms running out.:-)
Heartwarming and beautifully made. A touching tribute to a vanishing Ireland.
Had a few knee tremblers in them back in the day
Very good film and very poignant. I saw it recently on RTÉ and today saw a truck o. The m50 with a phone box on the back of it. Reckon people are gona start robbing the last few ones that are left.
have your say
