Cool as a cucumber

Brian, trying very hard not to look too chuffed to be in the Metro Herald (between a cute baby panda and Lady Gaga in cleavage gear).

He was particularly delighted with the fact that they had decided to crop out Jessie.

The slagging match started the minute this was pointed out to Jess...

Brian found it hard to believe that he is a bit of an online celebrity, or that a beautiful girl in the US (of A) is still waiting for the kiss she won in an online competition.
But he was visibly delighted to see his face in the paper.
And I was doubly delighted to see him pleased, and having the craic with his mates in O'Loughlin's (at 1.30pm, big gang of these Stakanovs of the pint, clocking in some serious amount of overtime), and slagging Jesse for having been axed.
