Finding Student Accommodation in Ireland

In the beginning...

Published on in / Blog / First! / by .

There was light. And other stuff... apparently. It's hotly debated and fascinating to follow. But this post isn't about the beginning of everything, just grabaGAFF.com. As Today, we're 10 years old!

It was the halcyon days of the early aughties. Men dressed as ladies. Dogs dressed as men. Ladies dressed like dogs. Despite the dotcom crash and a penchant for terrible hair cuts, two men came together. Their vision; to build a website for niches, because they'd heard the whole "niche market is selling well". Time, sobriety and use of a websters English dictionary would steer them towards the students aid space. Because students are clearly where the money is...

Unfun facts about April 15th

GaG shares a birthday with Kim Il Sung, founder of the NORKs leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (the top one), from its establishment in 1948.

Abraham Lincoln died, having succumbed to injuries delivered by the FAG Alec Baldwin of his time, John Wilkes Booth.

McDonald's opens. Would later suffer going mainstream, with all the associated benefits and ills success brings.

The RMS Titanic sinks. 1,502 people die. Fictionalised retellings would plague cinema goers for decades to come.

With company like that, how can we possibly fail...

Good Friday

Published on in / Blog / I think it's broken! / by .

Jebus died for (y)our sins. Then, after some downtime, came back as bread for some, and wine for others. But for a guy who was so pro-piss-up, Ireland has this curious habit of using his big-two events as reasons to close watering places. WTF?

So how do we get a pint on Good Friday?

We've spoken about our lack of patience when it comes to arbitrary drinking rules applied by the Irish Government over the years. So we've gone out looking for alternatives on what could otherwise be a very dry Friday.

"Why are there so many songs about rainbows, and what's on the other side?
 Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong, wait and see.
 Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me."

YAY! Yet another annual parade in the rain day, Before we disappear into town to celebrate in our customary fashion, we decided to share:

Polar bears

Everyone boasts of "Irish ancestry" today. But would you believe us if we told you Polar Bears can legitimately claim lineage?

ThingsTo: Kiss kiss bang bang

ThingsTo?

A series of thoroughly un-researched suggestions of things for you to see, listen, watch and do this college semester from the grabaGAFF gang. It's like the bucket list, but different!

Ironman3 is barreling towards us. Yay! Everyone knows we love Tony Stark playing Robert Downey jr. What may not be as well known is Shane Black is directing.

So who is Shane Black? You know, the guy who gave us Lethal Weapon, the first commando to die in Predator, and the writer / director of Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang! Yes, that Shane Black!

Kiss kiss bang bang

So?

Why don't people just take our word for it? No? Goddammit! Elevator pitch it is then: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a fast paced, parody-laden, dark comedy with probably the best use of a narrator since Earth Worm Jim (you've seen that, right?). Watching masquerading actor Tony Stark riffing off a less fat Val Kilmer's jaded gay private detective is a joy to behold.

We 'hand' this lots!

You deplete me!

Share your love for the Hallmark holiday with this fantastic t-shirt!

Valentine's day is almost upon us. While we're packing for a short holiday to Saudi Arabia (they even ban red objects on the 14th of Feb over there - clearly an awesome use of authority) for reasons that don't include a crushing loneliness, we said we'd re-share this fantastic garment.

The magnificent Mr.T

Published on in / Blog / I'meh legend / by .

World renowned as a fool pitying, Bad-Attitude, Sylvester Stallone punching, World of Warcraft wandering, Snickers sales-man - grabaGAFF takes a look at the man behind the chains.

As a pale young lady growing up in South Tipperary all those years ago, I harbored a deep secret. Something I've never shared with another living soul; I really really wanted to be Mr.T! He was everything I wasn't, being dark, tough and strong. Saturday evening re-runs of 'The A-Team' often demonstrated his ability to throw pitiful foes hundreds of feet into the air only to crash through windows, doors, tables and walls. What's not to like?

I pity the fool!

Mr. Laurence Tureaud

Sadly years of push ups, cash-for-gold scams, gender-change procedures and boot polish didn't yield the desired results and I'd eventually find a measure of solace in mere slavish admiration...

Mr.T A Legend

After so many years of entertainment we all expect Mr.T to drive souped-up vehicles, fly in a drug induced state, wear chains, wound wrong-doers and push product - so what new can be said about a man we already know so well?
