Best Dressed Man Competition 2016

The ladies on the left were the judges of the best dressed man at Listowel Races 2016.  Above they are recruiting a local finalist for their competition.

These are some of the finalists with the judges.

Winner all right!

Will you look at how easy it is for the men. They can rock up in fine comfortable brogues and still win. The unstated dress code for the ladies includes vertiginous heels.

The couple on the left of this picture came all the way from the U.S. to watch their horse run in Listowel. He obliged; He won.

Cavan Twins Replace O'Donovans as the Nation's favourite Brothers

I read this story on Journal.ie and the photo is from there too. Apparently the story goes that there is now a programmme on TV3 in which we are expected to watch people watching television. These farmers, who are twins and live in Cavan, are the stars.

Part of the irony is that they don't actually like television so they are eloquently dismissive of the programmes they are watching.
