Before they were famous....again

Ever the ones to embarrass people more fortunate, the big news at twelvty can exclusively reveal photos of our very own Poncho Tonto circa what looks like 1985 but maybe have in reality been 2001. If it was 1985...what is your secret Tonto!!??

Before her illustrious career as a journalist and professional amazing person, Tonto dabbled in many jobs. Here we see her in her short lived career as a backing singer for Dublin band the coldspoon conspiracy.

"I was young. I did it for the love of money...and the free drinks."

Pictured with her as fellow Sponettes, Bonnie O'Neill, the Superfly spy and designer to the stars, and hotel entrapenuer Jean (shes so hot she don't even need a surname). After they parted company with the 'Spoons (after one gig), they went on to enjoy a number 45 hit with their cover of the Knack classic My Sharona.....in Germany. They called it quits in 2004 but remain good friends. There are talks of a comeback tour for early 2007 if they could only find Jean.

IT SPEAKS!!!!!

After 5 weeks of mumbled words, a lot of I'm sorry what was thats and soup, Ruadhan O'Meara can finally speak again. It remains to be seen whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

The braces are still on but the bands are gone and he can finally eat solid foods. Every day he now must face the challenge of opening his mouth a little wider...2mm in fact!! For those none scientists its about the width of 2 finger nails or go find a ruler. Bascially its not that much at all.

"I hope to have a bigger mouth than I used to!!" said an eccstatic Ruadhan. "I used to be able to fit my fist in my mouth....and soon i will again"

And what has been he been using to preform the reopening....something scientiftic and fancy I bet.

"Nope! Just the remote control when no ones looking."

Who's Wally now!!??

Following the shameful behaviour of where's wally star Wally Wallofski at a Dublin party last week, he has been droppedby his publishers. So where is wally now? Or should the question be whos wally now!!??

The big news at twlevty that the new wally isn't a wally at all...well not by name anyway. It is no longer wheres wally but Find Brian!!

Can you Find Brian?

Let the big news at twelvty show you how to dress for halloween for cheap like

Halloween has come and gone...again. BOOO!!!! And despite the bangers and fireworks Halloween is one of the big news at twlevty's favourite times of the year....after Poncho Tontos birthday of course. A big effort is made by all and a particular effort was made this year. So this is for all your losers who failed to dress up for halloween because you were embarrassed or a loser or couldn't think or anything to dress up as cos you left it too late or have no imagination or are a loser....the Big News at Twelvty's guide to dressing up cheap for halloween!!!

The main thing is to remember that while you may start off with a great idea and the best of intentions, you may not actually looking like what you had initally wanted to. This can somtimes work out for the best and sometimes it just doesn't. There are plenty of examples of this.Take for example Ciaran. Ciaran was supposed to be Nigel Tufnel....this roving reporters favourite person in a film ever!! He got the wig he got the tights he just didn't get the look. And he looked more like Charlie from Busted. But the main thing is he tried.

Don't worry he was playing fussball, he's not that glad to see you.

The zombie look was definitely in this year. And the beauty of the zombie look is that you can wear you're own clothes. All you need is white makeup paste and you're mother or girlfriends or your own brown eye shadow and some talc powder. Fake blood is optional but very effective. You even get to do a funny walk, if you want.

This zombie got a bit carried away, getting completely engrossed in the role and went so far as to try and grab a bite or two. Sorry!! Poor Tinkerbell didn't know what hit her. And before anyone says anything that was make up I wasn't just having a bad day.

Somepeople opted to copy the ultimate famous zombie...Beetlejeuse beetlejeuse.....ah you thought I was going to say it three times!! Now what kind of an eejit do you take me for!!But of course where you get zombies you get some mean pissed off zombie hunters!!! Ash from Evil Dead made an appearance...shot gun and all. These pictures cannot be included for legal reasons....it got messy I tells ya! End result....Zombie Tonto 1....Ash 0 mahahahaha

Heroes from Child hood are always a popular choise. We've already seen Tinkerbell. Captain planet won the best costumes...probably to make for the amount fo money he spent on green body paint and for his fabulous short shorts!! But lest we forget that other Captain.....captain scarlet. Yeah no I'd never heard of him either....Ruadhan and Niall did however.

Ruadhan went for the Undertaker, the most feared wrestler in the world until he saved Hulk Hoagn or something like that. And all he needed was wet hair and Alans grannys t shirt and Joes cut up socks. Niall's costume started life as a pimp costume. But he was Bird flu. If anyone can work that one out could someone please tell me. I think it was just an excuse to wear him mums jammies.

There is and will only ever be one Rainbow Brite and that is me Poncho Tonto. And because my sister idolises me soooo much I let her dress up as rainbow brite and besides I was really enjoying being a zombie. It didn't stop me getting a bite in though ah but sure it was all in fun....

Ahhhh now thats a sight!! The thing about halloween is that no one judges you on your appearance!! See how Jacinta the Northside hairdresser admires her handy work. It was this that inspired Jacinta aka Pizazz to follow her tru calling...to be a hairdresser. Pallbearer lost the Undertaker to a cigarette and a bottle of vodka about 3 hours ago. He also lost his ern for a beer....what ever will happen to Pallbearer now!

See folks its not that hard is it...and if everyone else looks silly then you'll look even siller fro looking normal! Until next year....HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Old beauties open new beauty salon!!

What began as a halloween costume has turned into the hottest beauety salon on the north side of Dublin even though its based it Tallaght!

Welcome to Jacintas and Destinys House of Bootriful people

"yeah its like not only do we like make people as boortiful as we are like but i studies art in the community centre near me house and like I thought we could like have a salon like that made people as booriful like what we are and maybe like make them all dressed up like for halloween. Cos I was just sayin it to Destiny last week...wasn't I destiny... that some of these halloween costumes are pretty bleedin stooooopid, wasn't i destiny??!!" says salon owner and chief designed Jacinta.

"yeah, yeah you were Jacinta you said that last week".

"Jacinta's really really good at drawrin and stuff. I answer the phone nand make the tea. I'm really good at making tea", says Destiny, co-founder and chief receptionist.

In the begining models weren't as willing as they are today and so they aspiring artists had to find models wherever they could even going so far as to practise on people who might have been asleep. No jims were harmed in the making of this masterpiece.

THE HOUR OF POWER!!!!

Congratulations to my comparades Juanine (who was recently released from prison on a technicaltity...the main witness decided to drop the charges convieniently enough), Lush Number 1 (Ethna) and Two-higs (Roisin) on completing the most righteous of passages....the hour of power. The threesome drank 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes in a record time of 100minutes and are now official booze hounds. They were awarded this trophy of their empty cans which they made themselves for their efforts.

I'm so proud of you guys!! Well done!!
