It's Monday afternoon. Slumpsville. Here's a little something to perk yisserselves up with - The Erics shortlists for Irish Bachelor and Bachelorette!!!

My, aren't they a fine looking bunch, and who cares that they seem to get younger  and younger with each passing year...

This year, we've got a 'twofer' in the form of the Kearney brothers, alongside such acting elite as Jack Reynor, Aaron Heffernan, Killian Scott and Domhnall Gleeson. Throw in some rock fodder in the form of Codaline's Stephen Carrgian, and more stacked sportsmen than you can shake a knotty stick at and you have yourselves one hell of a line up.

And as for the fine bunch of Bachelorettes - this year Nadia Forde, Jennifer Maguire (yes, we know she's engaged, but she's not quite off the market yet), Laura Whitmore, Angela Scanlon, Sarah Morrissey, the lovely lady who used to play Neasa off Fair City and yet more fine fillies have made it on to the shortlist this year.
