What's going up and what's going down this week?
GOING UP
Coco ChanelShe was a genius. Now they've made a movie about her, starring Audrey Tautou.
Marty WhelanLyric on Sundays Good humoured broadcasting is difficult (see any of our radio stations) and Whelan sounds like he's having a good time.
Dublin Made MeYoung musicians Liam O'Connor (fiddle) and Paul McKeon (uilleann pipes) produce what some are calling the best trad album of the past 20 years.
Wireless printersNo cables, can serve several computers. Don't understand the technology, but they look fab.
17 AgainZac Ephron is not a genius, he's a teenage sensation. His new movie, opening on April 17th, is one way to keep the tweenies happy.
GOING DOWN
OTT, stuffy weddingsWe're waiting to see an outbreak of weddings-in-the-park, and instead of RSVP on invitations, we want to read BYOB.
The allotment crazeFirst it was property, then the recession. Are we now going to sit around discussing perennial spinach?
Fiddling with your mobileAt the check-out, the dinner table and in the damn traffic. Leave it out, darling.
SnoggingDoesn't seem to be so much of it on our streets these days. When we said "get a room" we didn't mean you snoggers to vanish from our streets altogether. Don't disappear like the whistlers did.
