DUBLIN Reuters – The annual crowning of a goat as king of Ireland at one of the country’s oldest fairs is in doubt after organizers said the heir to the throne may be stopped from traveling to the festival. Traditionally a male goat is caught in the mountains of Kerry in southern Ireland and paraded through the town of Killorglin where he reigns for the three days of Puck Fair, a centuries-old festival of drinking, music and dancing.Locals may have to desperately trek the nearby hills after this year’s chosen animal from the Northern Ireland town of Ballycastle could only get a four-day license for the trip south of the border. via Goat’s crowning as king of Ireland in doubt | Oddly Enough | Reuters.

Then the coffee industry virtually ground to a halt in the 1990s during the country’s politically tumultuous times.

Man’s obsession with power tools has finally spilled over into the kitchen and the Pizza Boss may just be the manliest pizza slicer you’ll ever own. It’s shaped like a circular saw (the manliest tool in the garden shed second only to the drill, which takes first place based solely on the fact that it looks a bit like a laser gun) and will make short work of your freshly baked pizza, or any delivery where the restaurant have made a pig’s ear of the slicing process. Unlike most power tools you won’t have to read the instructions before using the Pizza Boss as it’s fairly self-evident: take Pizza Boss in hand, slice pizza. It’s also a lot less dangerous than a circular saw – you’ve far less chance of taking your fingers off with this baby, unless you’re not really paying attention, but then you’ll probably just give yourself a nasty cut. It doesn’t require batteries and you won’t have to hook it up to the mains as the blade is powered by pure elbow grease (not included). Every task requires the proper tool and the Pizza Boss is the manliest tool in the box.
