Gubu Nation

Grotesque, Unbelievable, Bizarre, Unprecedented - GUBU was coined to describe those moments when words otherwise fail. GUBU Nation is the jaw-dropping outcome of countless hours spent rummaging down the back of posterity's sofa. The stories it tells prove time and again that truth really is stranger than fiction. Gone but not forgotten - not anymore - are the strange case of the Hare Krishnas and the drugged ice cream, the mass protests that met Ireland's first staging of Eurovision, the nuclear fallout caused by Joe Jacob TD and the brief phenomenon of Toni the Exotic Dancer There's much, much more - sixty tales of the unexpected, the vaguely familiar and the plain ludicrous.
