Maura, (a.k.a. Boobtiful Mawra) , after many years of kissing frogs I am glad that you have now found your Prince Charming. Wishing you and Kevin every success for now and for the future. Living with and knowing you has always been eventful.We met many moons ago in the “beautiful, salubrious” surroundings of the Palms when you were obsessed with Mr. Motivator, breakfast rolls and screaming “Jo- seeef” into the phone lines at any time of the day. Mornings in the Palms began by watching you complete your exercise routine as you watched Mr Motivator in the sitting room, your workout routine was “place two stockinged feet under the radiator, up... and down...up and down....” sit ups, Maura style. Cool down usually involved sausages, rashers (if Tesco or Gerry from Spar had supplied) , a Palms breakfast roll. The breakfast rolls went oriental when you began to work in Tesco, the scanning, scamming shopping lists went into overdrive. We lived together again in the Innings with Luke the perv, and Cedric the frog. All I can say about the Innings is toothbrush, toilet bowl.Cliodhna 30th APRIL 2011 WWW.GIFTZINE.CO.UK/TREAT 11

TO MAURA...30th APRIL 2011

Mo sweetie, who would have thought you and I would have such similar tastes in men, and that the gene pools of Brazil and Tallaght could be so bountifully interlinked? Wishing you all the very best for your “big” wedding night - my advice is to get well oiled, let yourself loosen up, take a few good toots and you’ll be screaming for more! Love & � uids, Dave xx

Mo & Kev wishing you both all the best for the wedding and lots and lots of happiness for your new life together. Enjoy every minute of this special time. xxxMo, Moses, Mosey, ´Breast´ friend... so many names!! How can I forget when we � rst met.. from the bars of UCD to being amazing wives!!! Lots of love Yas xxx

Darling Moses, congratulations on your impending wedding - the greatest of our times, by far. No wonder they designated the day before a national holiday, so we could all get there on time.Whenever I try to think of a Maura Byrne anecdote, and I try desperately to think of something that won’t embarrass our dear bride, somehow the only two things I can think of are: (a) an empty bottle of gin, and (b) a teddy bear with the stu� ng ripped out.With lots of love, from Betty

All the best Mo, have a fantastic day and remember not to get on the bus this time !! Donnie xxx

Enjoy the craic of ure weddin day. Anyone for any choc ices?Christy

Dearest Mo, Wishing you the most fabulous hen weekend. Looking forward to our beautiful rendition of hero! My best wishes to you and Kevin on your big day and future together. Hugh xxx

Congratulations Maura, I’m so so happy for you! No more wearing furry pink dresses, they’d clash with Kevin now! All my love, Helen xxx

Congratulations Maura. I hope you and Kevin have many happy times during your married life together. Keep him happy by cooking him Elds Gorse treats like the Christmas starter every year, spaghetti bolognaise on Saturdays and stew on Wednesdays. Lots of love from Hilary

Mo best of luck on your upcoming nuptials, I am looking forward to the big day but sorry I’m missing the hen. Remember that time you fell asleep in our � rst year Information Studies tutorial? Ah the memories!Susan

Congrats Mo, really looking forward to the big day and I wish you and Kevin all the best together.

Now that you have discovered Ginger love I hope this means I won’t be subject to any more attempted eggy breath snogs. Its best that you never know how traumatised I was. On bad days, when I close my eyes, I can still taste the egg. Don’t tell Gernot or he’ll be all over you.

Can’t wait for the ghen!See you soonEmmett

Dear MauOrriiggghhhhtt baby cakes! Many congrats on your engagement to GK. It just proves that sitting on Willie’s book really does work!!So excited for your hen party and all the antics. Especially excited for your wedding. Much love to you and GKJules xxx

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWMaura tells us about pigeons, how she met Kev & her love for cheesy oatcakes

30th APRIL 2011

Kev does everything I say. He’s a good boy but he’s lucky, he’s got the girl with the most gorgeous and mesmerising eyes!

You are English and he is Irish, will there be any cultural problems?Nahh go on! We are a deadly match, made in heaven. Although people think I am English, I am really Irish. To be honest, I was desperate to �nd an Irish Man to match my roots. I even went to Lisdoonvarna in Country Clare with my girl friends to �nd an Irish hunk. But they all had sausage �ngers so I stuck with what I know best – Dublin’s �nest Irish Man – GK! That’s the whole reason I moved over to Dublin in the �rst place. I told my friends and family it was because of my Irish roots and that UCD has such a good reputation for English lit, but to be honest, I was just desperate to bag an Irish hunk.

How long have you been dating before you were engaged?Well you have to try before you buy so I tried Kev out for a good few months! No, seriously, I was dating this guy before but it didn’t work out.

Oh really, Why?His father was a pigeon fancier and we used to go all over Ireland racing the birds. The family thought it was such a good craic but I thought it was cruel. So, in the middle of the night, I went into the back garden and decided to let all the pigeons out. Unfortunately, I didn’t

‘Auntie Mo and Uncle Kev’s Cheesy Treats’.

Do you think it’s a good name? It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. I have tried the city life in Dublin and I keep telling my friends I want to make it in the big smoke, but to be honest, the only thing that would make me truly happy is to set up shop in Stoke-on-Trent. It will be dead good, I will be able to just log on and read the net all day and then I wont have to talk to anyone, it will be bliss and so comforting, just like one of the pigeon’s coming home to roost after all the years of missing it’s �rst nest.

Well good luck with that ‘Auntie Mo’. All of us here at Treat Magazine wish both you and Kev a sensational wedding, a super honeymoon and a blissful marriage. Oh and good luck with the new business, ‘Auntie Mo and Uncle Kev’s Cheesy Treats’.

Hi Maura, What are you up to at the moment?Well, I am preparing for the ‘wedding sensation’ of the year. That’s my Wedding to Mr Kevin Fagan or GK (Ginger Kev as I like to call him). It’s going to be a huge show with lots of spectacle and romance!

Wow, sounds fab. Can you start by telling us a little about the romance; how you met, when and where you fell in love?Well, it was one of those boozy Friday nights in Dublin. I had a few (to say the least) and suddenly I spied this tall handsome man across the bar. I gave him the eye (my eyes are gorgeous after all) and he came straight over! We must have exchanged numbers because the next day I had a text from him inviting me to a gig the following weekend. I thought to myself, grand, I love a good gig!

Give us all the Juicy details?Well, the gig was grand, I loved it. I was also pleasantly surprised at how forward GK was - he went straight in for the kill by giving me a backward embrace during the �rst song. I thought to myself, ooohhhh this is the man for me. To be honest, I can’t be doing with all this dating nonsense, all that -‘does he like me or doesn’t he?’- it’s time wasting. GK was straight in there, I knew from the start that I had him. As I always like to say, it’s either my way or the highway!

So you like to be in control then Mo?No, I didn’t say that. But our relationship works best when

realise that they had installed CCTV and the next day at breakfast they confronted me and then chased me out of the house with a shot gun! Jesus, Mary and Jospeh, I had a lucky escape!

Ermmm right. So the big day, tell us all about it…….Well, it’s going to be such a spectacle. We are getting married in the Church of Immaculate Conception and St Dominic in Stone and the reception, or encore as I like to call it, will be at Elds Gorse in Willoughbridge. I have two gorgeous maids of honour and two ultra gorgeous bridesmaids - all great friends of mine. Infact, I am lucky to have them as friends as they are all so cool and beautiful. It’s going to be a grand day; lots of food, booze and craic.

And your honeymoon?We haven’t decided yet but hopefully it will be in the Cotswolds in England. And afterwards?Well, don’t tell Kev as it’s a surprise, but I have recently saved up quite a bit of money and made a little investment!

Oh, really, do tell all ……I have bought a little shop in a place called Bentilee in Stoke-on-Trent and I have decided to turn it into a North Sta�ordshire Oatcake shop with an Irish twist. I am going to sell cheesy oatcakes and hot Irish potatoes and there will be an internet room also. Kev can cook and I will surf the net all day long. I hope Kev doesn’t mind? I am sure he won’t, it’s such a great business venture, don’t you think? I am going to call it

I soon got into the swing of Irish life - a good old sing song along with a drunken friend strumming the guitar, loosing my heel in the moat of Bono’s club, spending all of my student loans on posh clothes in Brown Thomas – it soon felt like I was like back in England and the likes of Harvey Nicks!

However, when I returned to Stoke for the holidays, I saw what I was missing - snogging Robbie Williams, cheesy oatcakes and seeing how the other half live in Bentilee – it was just too much to absorb in one Christmas break. My friends from the Chet even commented on my Irishness – I just couldn’t stop saying ‘deadly’ and ‘any craic’ and I even missed pork scratchings! But, once I was back in the Emerald Isle dreams of pottery kilns and the Britannia Stadium vanished and I soon slipped into my new life. This pattern has been repeating itself now for years, it happens every time I travel to and from Ireland.So I �nally decided to move back to England and every year promised I’d move to London but I didn’t quite have the guts to see it through;

ASK UNCLE MUFT Agony Uncle Muft, gives Maura a helping hand with finding her true cultural identity.

Help! Should I live in England or Ireland?

30th APRIL 2011

- the thought of being in such a big city put the wind up me. I still might move to London in 10 years time though, I know that nobody will believe me, but honestly I will do it! Do you think my friends will wait for me or will everyone have moved on?

Then again, I’d like to move to the Cotswolds too. I keep making trips over and dragging Kev around na� shops and tea houses then romanticising about living in one of those honey-pot villages, where all the tourists gawp at you through your sitting room window. It would be lovely, I would be near to Kate Moss and Liz Hurley – maybe I could invite them around for a tea party and we could talk about the latest juicy couture tracksuits. I’d have all the designer clothes, so I’d de�nitely �t in although I’d have to pretend to like dogs. Maybe I could buy a stu�ed one and pretend it was asleep in my handbag all the time?

Oh I don’t know Uncle Muft, I just don’t think I could give up all those things Irish just yet, I’d miss Auntie Gerry, Willie Daly and all the gays. Please Uncle Muft, please help me – should I stay or should I go?

Muft:Well fairy cakes this is quite a dilemma you’re facing, and although not quite the same, it’s similar to something I have experienced regularly myself when embarking on my many career changes – it’s known as decision making! But I always say you must aim high – look at me, in a few years I’ll be a top barrister and won’t have to waste my time replying to this trivial nonsense!

Oohh sorry darling, I was just thinking aloud, where was I…yes aiming high – seriously sweetie the sky is the limit and if moving to the Cotswolds next to Liz and Kate is going to make you feel fulfilled, then you simply must do it. But remember, you will need a very good stylist and a fantastic hair dresser. Darling, did I tell you about my new boyf Tim? He’s a principal hair stylist at Belfield’s - I’d love to tell you how we met but it’s a long story darling. Anyway I’ve got to go now but if I can solve any more of your problems sweet pea, then just drop Uncle Muft a line. Remember to call Mufters if you have anymore worries, I’m always here for you bab. Mufty xxxxxx P.S. Looking forward to being your Master of Ceremonies on the big day, I’ll do such a splendid job. Did you want me in drag?

Maura: Dear Uncle Muft,

I’m feeling confused and exhausted; after 15 years of soul searching for my true home and where I belong, I am stuck and just can’t seem to get to the bottom of it all! It started after my A-levels; up until that point I considered myself very English.

Despite my roots being �rmly planted in Sta�ordshire, for years there was always this burning desire to travel across the sea and experience the Irish way of life – ‘there are no strangers in Ireland, only friends you’ve yet to meet!’ So o� I went, and sought a place at UCD. I have to say, when I got there, it was all a bit of a culture shock. Everything seemed a bit behind the times, and, well, rather innocent compared to what I’d seen in England.

However, I wasn’t too worried, as there were plenty of vulnerable students just waiting to be corrupted!

Maura, (a.k.a. Boobtiful Mawra) , after many years of kissing frogs I am glad that you have now found your Prince Charming. Wishing you and Kevin every success for now and for the future. Living with and knowing you has always been eventful.We met many moons ago in the “beautiful, salubrious” surroundings of the Palms when you were obsessed with Mr. Motivator, breakfast rolls and screaming “Jo- seeef” into the phone lines at any time of the day. Mornings in the Palms began by watching you complete your exercise routine as you watched Mr Motivator in the sitting room, your workout routine was “place two stockinged feet under the radiator, up... and down...up and down....” sit ups, Maura style. Cool down usually involved sausages, rashers (if Tesco or Gerry from Spar had supplied) , a Palms breakfast roll. The breakfast rolls went oriental when you began to work in Tesco, the scanning, scamming shopping lists went into overdrive. We lived together again in the Innings with Luke the perv, and Cedric the frog. All I can say about the Innings is toothbrush, toilet bowl.Cliodhna 30th APRIL 2011 WWW.GIFTZINE.CO.UK/TREAT 11

TO MAURA...30th APRIL 2011

Mo sweetie, who would have thought you and I would have such similar tastes in men, and that the gene pools of Brazil and Tallaght could be so bountifully interlinked? Wishing you all the very best for your “big” wedding night - my advice is to get well oiled, let yourself loosen up, take a few good toots and you’ll be screaming for more! Love & � uids, Dave xx

Mo & Kev wishing you both all the best for the wedding and lots and lots of happiness for your new life together. Enjoy every minute of this special time. xxxMo, Moses, Mosey, ´Breast´ friend... so many names!! How can I forget when we � rst met.. from the bars of UCD to being amazing wives!!! Lots of love Yas xxx

Darling Moses, congratulations on your impending wedding - the greatest of our times, by far. No wonder they designated the day before a national holiday, so we could all get there on time.Whenever I try to think of a Maura Byrne anecdote, and I try desperately to think of something that won’t embarrass our dear bride, somehow the only two things I can think of are: (a) an empty bottle of gin, and (b) a teddy bear with the stu� ng ripped out.With lots of love, from Betty

All the best Mo, have a fantastic day and remember not to get on the bus this time !! Donnie xxx

Enjoy the craic of ure weddin day. Anyone for any choc ices?Christy

Dearest Mo, Wishing you the most fabulous hen weekend. Looking forward to our beautiful rendition of hero! My best wishes to you and Kevin on your big day and future together. Hugh xxx

Congratulations Maura, I’m so so happy for you! No more wearing furry pink dresses, they’d clash with Kevin now! All my love, Helen xxx

Congratulations Maura. I hope you and Kevin have many happy times during your married life together. Keep him happy by cooking him Elds Gorse treats like the Christmas starter every year, spaghetti bolognaise on Saturdays and stew on Wednesdays. Lots of love from Hilary

Mo best of luck on your upcoming nuptials, I am looking forward to the big day but sorry I’m missing the hen. Remember that time you fell asleep in our � rst year Information Studies tutorial? Ah the memories!Susan

Congrats Mo, really looking forward to the big day and I wish you and Kevin all the best together.

Now that you have discovered Ginger love I hope this means I won’t be subject to any more attempted eggy breath snogs. Its best that you never know how traumatised I was. On bad days, when I close my eyes, I can still taste the egg. Don’t tell Gernot or he’ll be all over you.

Can’t wait for the ghen!See you soonEmmett

Dear MauOrriiggghhhhtt baby cakes! Many congrats on your engagement to GK. It just proves that sitting on Willie’s book really does work!!So excited for your hen party and all the antics. Especially excited for your wedding. Much love to you and GKJules xxx
