Hero of the Week: Brian O'Driscoll: He has been chosen to captain the IONA...oops, I mean the British and Irish Lions. Congratulations Brian. Do us proud.

Villains of the Week: McCartney Opposition: The villains this week are undoubtedly those who verbally abused the McCartney family as they handed out leaflets regarding a vigil for thier murdered brother. The people who verbally abused them are pure, unadulterated scum.

Funniest Moment of the Week: Spinning Cat: For me, this video. Not to everyone's taste but I'm sure it will make you chuckle, even if you don't really want to.

Dunces of the Week: IrishBlogs: They are being very selective with who they place on their list and as a result are making many bloggers angry. If you're an Irish blogger who has linked to them and not had reciprocity, I suggest you remove your link! It's the only way they'll learn.

Celebrity of the Week: Britney Spears: Hey did you hear? Britney's pregnant! Good luck to her.

Quote of the Week: "They were screaming and shouting abuse at us and trying to get us out of the district.

"This was blatant discrimination, very loud and threatening and they were trying to blacken Robert's name." - Paula McCartney

Like I said, the people who engaged in this abuse are scum.
