What's going up and what's going down this week
GOING UP
Robert PattisonVoted most handsome man in the world in Vanity Fair's poll. Not just a teenage heart throb, then.
Boxes of yellow Indian mangoFind them in Aroma Food on Talbot Street or the Asian Food Company on Mary Street, Dublin, for between €7 and €8. We're liking the white peaches from Marks & Spencer, too.
Ikea at 50About time we get the Ballymun store. Let the countdown begin for the opening on July 27th.
Land ho!The Volvo Ocean Race comes to an end today in St Petersburg. Thanks for the memories.
Cointreau, tonic, ice and a slice of limeNo kidding. A friend imported this from Portugal and it's delish.
Wimbledon's roofLet's get one for Stephen's Green.
GOING DOWN
Slane trafficWaiting up to five hours on buses? Never again, Lord Henry. Here's hoping upcoming festivals are better organised.
Perez HiltonThe insufferable celebrity blogger gets into a fight with the Black Eyed Peas, then uses his phone to tweet that he needs someone to call the police. Sounds like it wasn't medical attention he was looking for.
RTÉ holidaysSo not a good time for our broadcasters to vanish. Ditto the Dáil. And while we're at it, teachers - don't talk to us about burn-out as you head off for 10 weeks' paid leave.
