Blazing inferno

THREE pump units of Dublin Fire Brigade spent hours dealing with a massive blaze that engulfed two buildings in south Dublin yesterday.

THE fire gutted a second-hand clothes shop and a derelict building on Convent Road in Dalkey.

It is understood that the blaze broke out shortly after 2pm; gardai are investigating the cause of the fire.

On the other side of the city, two fire brigade units spent much of the early hours of this morning dealing with an inferno that broke out at a hay barn in Castleknock.

The fire was located close to Luttrellstown Golf Club.

No one was injured in either incident.

The Beatles started a revolution back in the USSR

If ever a band has been well served by the literary world it's The Beatles. Practically every aspect of that revolutionary body of work has been dealt with in book form... or so one would have thought. From Hunter Davies' The Beatles, through Philip Norman's Shout, Bob Spitz's humongously detailed history and Ian McDonald's brilliant Revolution in the Head, which offered a musical and contextual analysis of every song they ever recorded, surely there's nothing left of interest to diehard fans of the Fabs. Well, think again.
