Mmmm... memento mori. This week the boys go underground for Halloween season, peering into the 18th century crypt hidden beneath the Triskel Arts Centre in the middle of Cork city. PLUS: how we'd like to be buried/ground into dust, and a violent spat with a local pizza place.

ART. The boys chat to Cork artist Sarah Long about her work - and then tackle the big questions: what is art for? Is the death penalty bad? And what does Blindboy look like??

-

Sarah Long's exhibition 'I Want to Talk About Ireland' is on display at the Triskel in Cork until October 25.

RECOMMENDEDs:

• Doctor Who, 'Vincent and the Doctor' (2010)

BE EMERGENCY READY. The government's little booklet has frightened the boys into staying indoors this week.

Stock up on cans, set your portable radio to Wet Cold Irish Summer, and wedge your head between your knees to preserve your dental records.
