FARM, Dublin’s leading award-winning organic restaurant group, has just launched a pioneering new At Home and At Work delivery service that aims to revolutionise Dublin’s growing takeaway culture.

The new delivery service offers organic, locally sourced, healthy and delicious Irish food, for the same price points as typically unhealthy, takeaway slap-up. Perfect for anyone resolving to be healthier in 2015!

Adult mains cost no more than €15 and include comfort food favourites like FARM’s signature organic beef burger, Irish organic salmon with chorizo, and a range of the heartiest, tastiest signature pies. Starters average at only €4, which is a fabulous price for the food on offer; everything from fresh homemade hummus, marinated olives and figs wrapped in serrano ham, to lip smacking organic chicken wings.

FARM also has one of the most varied vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free menu selections in Dublin. You can even order a full Sunday roast for four people, at only €10 per person. This feast includes a whole organic Irish chicken, slow-roasted and finished over a chargrill for aromatic flavour, served with fresh seasonal vegetables, herb new potatoes and homemade gravy. No extra charge if you want to pretend you cooked it yourself from scratch!

Each meal can be washed down with a bottle of the finest organic red or white wine, with organic soft-drinks also available and delivered to your door.

FARM At Home and At Work is open from 5pm to 10pm, 7 days a week, with a standard delivery charge of €3. Available to selected Dublin area codes, the service is steadily growing to provide deliver top quality, low cost cuisine across the city.

Poor Abigail Breslin has become the target of online trolls after she released a song called You Suck which is rumoured to be about 5 Seconds of Summer singer, Michael Clifford.

The 18-year-old Little Miss Sunshine actress released the video yesterday and it sees her seemingly slamming the boyband member with lines such as “I hate the scar above your eye, it looks like you’re on drugs” and “Bleaching your hair, I hope it all falls out.”

Eek, pretty mean stuff mean. Now, #AbigailYouTried is trending on Twitter and fans of Michael are far from impressed at the young actress’ musical debut:

Abigail spoke about the song recently in Teen Vogue, saying: “This is a song I wrote about those guys who are players and use people and just generally aren’t really good people. It’s about things I’ve witnessed; it’s not okay when guys don’t have respect for girls. I wrote it in the heat of the moment and I think a lot of people will relate to it.”

We’ve had amazing kisses worthy of a Hollywood film (if shifting in torrential rain counts). We've had mediocre kisses that take place when we’re both rushing out the door. And we've had woeful kisses we’d much rather forget. Be gone, GAA disco memories.

But how much do we actually know about the art of puckering up?

Here are ten super-important facts that you should commit to memory now before it’s too late.

1) French kissing, which uses all 34 facial muscles, burns 26 calories per minute!

That’s why making-out is so important after a romantic four course meal and calorie-laden cocktails.

2) The world’s longest kiss lasted a whopping 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds.

Take a bow, Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat of Thailand!

3) Approximately two-thirds of people tilt their head to the right before going in for the kill.

The other way feels like head gymnastics, right?

4) Chimpanzees often smooch each other after a fight.

We’re not the only ones who need to kiss and make up every now and again!

5) The fear of kissing is known as philemaphobia.

We kinda wish we’d suffered from that during our school discos. Blergh.

6) Kissing is good for your gnashers.

So, don’t beat yourself up if your dental floss is gathering dust in the bathroom.

7) It has been known for some women to reach orgasm through kissing alone.

Even more reason to get back to basics with your boyfriend, right?

8) An Eskimo Kiss is the act of rubbing your nose off your partners while snogging.

It’s weird and, inexplicably, cute.

9) When two people kiss, they exchange between 10 million and one billion germs.

Moving on. Moving on NOW.

10) People tend to remember their first kiss more vividly than the first time they had sex.

Spin the bottle. Third Year. Hot.

This cute German Shepard probably loves his human, but it's clear he has had enough of the singing. 

Maximus is seen here trying to relax in peace until his owner begins singing the Trololo song, and begins to whimper before breaking out into a fully-fledged howl that, if translated, would probably sound something like: "Shhuuuuuuttttt upppppp".

Spongebob SquarePants first aired in 1999 and we, like the rest of our generation, became immediate fans of adorable Bob, bad-tempered Squidward and the whole Bikini Bottom gang.

Following the adventures of a sponge, who lived under the sea in a two-storey pineapple and earned a wage working in a fast-food restaurant, was our favourite after-school activity.

So we just can’t WAIT for the release of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water early next year which sees SpongeBob and the crew tackle a whole new world!

3-D, you say? We are ready!

It’s official ladies, Hollywood actor Chris Pine is a single man again!

The Into The Woods actor appeared on The Ellen Show, where Ellen was quick to grill him on his relationship status, saying: “So, you’re handsome, you sing, and are you single?”

The actor responded with, “Oh man! I’m  a single man”, despite rumours he had been dating actress Zoe Kravitz.

Ellen also convinced Chris to sing an amazing rendition of Frank Sinatra's Summer Wind, which we are very grateful to her for.

Model Karreuche Tran caused some serious talk last night when she tweeted announcing she was a “single lady”, leading people to believe she had split once again from Chris Brown.

Karrueche took to her Twitter account and wrote, quite cryptically: "Looks like I'm a single lady again."

Many media outlets picked up on the supposed break-up, but all was not as it seemed.

Now, it has emerged the tweet was due to an episode of a show she is starring in, called Single Ladies. Karrueche wrote a follow-up tweet, writing: “I was talking about the show Single Ladies I just came back from shooting an episode lol gee wiz.”

Oh, yes, “lol gee wiz” indeed, how did your followers not pick up on that after your original tweet was just so clear, Karrueche…

Sounds like she and Chris Brown are still giving things a go then!

Whether the reason behind your choice to go vegetarian, it can be hard sometimes to explain your decision to other people.

We know being veggie can make certain things a little more complicated – your Granny will still try to force that Shepherd’s Pie on you every time you visit – but it can be so worth it, too.

Just be prepared for one of the following questions every time you dine out…

1. “But have you actually even TRIED meat?”

Whether you have or you haven’t is beside the point. What this question really means is, “why are you being so awkward?!”

2. “You’re really pale… you must be low in iron.”

Nope, I’m just Irish, thanks. Spinach and other leafy green veg are amazing sources of iron, but the general consensus is that without red meat, you might as well call yourself anaemic and be done with it.

3. “Oh… you eat fish though, right?”

This one’s usually asked just before someone serves you up a big plate of seafood at a dinner party. Awkward. Another delicious meal of sliced pan and lettuce it is, so.

4. “But do you not get bored only eating vegetables?”

Vegetables… and soups… and curries… and chilli… and casserole… and lasagne…

5. “You can just peel the pepperoni off this pizza, it’ll be grand.”

Really? REALLY?!

6. “You probably can’t have this. It has dairy in it.”

Wait, no! I’m not vegan! Gimme the cake. Gimme!

It looks like EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa and her boyfriend have split following a telling tweet he posted last night.

The TOWIE star tweeted: “Relationships just do not seem to work.” Jacqueline is currently expecting the couple’s first child, so a break-up for them couldn’t come at a worse time.

Yesterday, the actress posted a tweet that read: “Let me make this easy for you”, which she then promptly deleted, sparking early speculation of issues in the relationship.

Things haven’t been easy for the couple during their time together, with Dan being accused of sending illicit photos to others girls back in September as well as being arrested just last week over an incident with his ex-girlfriend and mum of his son, Megan Tomlin.

Dan and Jacqueline announced back in August that they are expecting a baby, with the actress often sharing photos of her growing bump on social media. Let’s hope these two can work things out.

Barmaid Shirley Carter has had some ups and down during her time in Walford and it looks like the woman who plays her is no stranger to drama either.

Linda Henry, who joined the Eastenders cast eight years ago, is set to stand trial over accusations of racially aggravated harassment in an incident which is said to have taken place in September of this year. The actress has denied the accusation and is reportedly devastated over the upcoming trial.

The 51-year-old TV star decided not to attend her initial hearing, but has pleaded not guilty through her lawyer with a source telling The Sun newspaper: “Linda is horrified at the accusation and intends to fight it tooth and nail.”

The actress is adamant that she will clear her name and an insider has reported: “Those close to her know the truth and the type of person she is. She has never been in trouble before, has never been accused of this type of thing before and is determined to prove she is innocent of these deeply offensive claims.”

The incident apparently took place outside Jamie Oliver's Greenwich restaurant and the trial will begin in February of next year.

Former Spice Girl and acclaimed fashion designer, Victoria Beckham, has revealed that she plans to stay in the UK “as much as possible” to help her younger sister Louise deal with her recent divorce.

Family-oriented Victoria believes that staying in the UK as long as she can will be a support to her sister in the aftermath of her split from second husband, Darren Flood.

The protective older sister has reportedly been a shoulder to cry on for Louise following the collapse of her five year relationship and has no intention of leaving her sister to deal with the heartache alone.

Commenting on their close relationship, a source said: “They’ve always been there for each other as sisters and it’s one of the reasons she wanted to spend as much time as possible in the UK.”

This is Louise’s second divorce in recent years, having split from first husband Hayden late in 2007.

Like her older sister, Louise is also a mum-of-four and the recent divorce is said to have been very difficult for everyone involved, with an insider saying: “It’s sad for the entire family because they were all close to the couple.”

We’re glad Louise has such a solid support system at this difficult time.
