Joy does not subscribe to the OR philosophy. This OR that. Take it OR leave it. Joy is not satisfied

efficiency. Responsible AND responsive. AND removes any guilt from a spontaneous joyride. AND shifts
your eyes away from mpg and back to mph. AND is what makes a 5 Series a breathtaking drive. Joy is the

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. BACON
Francis Bacon, one of the 20th century's greatest artists was born a hundred years ago this year in Dublin. But
his cluttered studio, now located in the Dublin City Gallery, The Hugh Lane always looked like the above. And it
is just one of the many cultural attractions waiting to be discovered this year. Whether it's ancient manuscripts,
old Dutch masters, contemporary music or theatre to rivet you to your seat, there's something for everyone.
And don't forget all our museums and galleries are free.
So whether its culture by day or culture or night, you'll be spolit for choice.

Extracts from some reviews to date:
'The absorbing and nchly-sourced essays in this book will stand as further
evidence of an important contribution to Irish life which looks vigorously
to the future as well as imaginatively at the past Irish history might look rather
different if there were more books like this one."

The backbone of a läUQHfl
good night's sleep ^|l^|
Did you know that the position of your spine during the H|i^^^^^^^
night is the foundation for a good night's sleep? If you wake --^-¿s«-
|_
up tired and achy, it could be you need a better bed, a bed
LZZZZZZZZZZ^ZZZ
that supports your spine in a natural position for correct
^^^^^^^^^H
sleep posture.
BffiRffiMHHHffi
You might think a firm mattress ensures a restful sleep, but
^^H^^^^^^^f
research has found that, contrary to popular opinion, a firm ^^^^^^^JHJ
mattress is not necessarily a better mattress. In fact, wB^^^^^^-^u "
scientific studies show that to keep your spine straight, your I "
^^t£rT'
bed must be flexible enough to contour to the natural
'HÊÊÊÊÊEÊÊÊÊÊk
curves of your body, while maintaining support to your ■MBhHHmhM
lower back. The key to even distribution of support lies with
H^BfllHjBi^^H
the springs. While a conventional queen-size mattress has
^^^^^^^^^^M
375 to 900 springs, the DUX00 beds are made with up to
^^^^H^|^|
3,600 interwoven springs that distribute the weight more BPPi^^^^^^5
^=-~^^^^>"
evenly. |
The DUX bed's unique layered mattress system is designed Lmmmm
to mould to your body's dimensions while providing firm ^^^^^^^^^^Q
support and the ultimate in comfort. The uncompromising ^^^^Q^^^^^H
DUX bed is available only in DUXIANA shops. So come in ^^^^^^^^^H
and try the DUX bed. It's the bed your back has been ^^^^^J^^^^H
aching for. Immediate delivery nationwide. All sizes stocked. fl^B|^P^H^|
