Kranky Karer

Picture of a large junction box on the street at the top of Kildare Street at Stephen’s Green in Dublin, Ireland. On it is painted a very large, angry-looking seagull in front of two wooden gates. Two tiny people, dwarfed by the seagull, appear to be running from it, one on either side of the lower front of the image. The text over the gates reads St Stephen’s Green. The signature in the lower right of the image says M. Fitz 25.

Got to love Dublin. #Speirgorm

Though if there’s anyone left who has run every Dublin Marathon to date, they should get priority entry imo

Not going to share 'grift' but Heather Humphreys has just said that I'm a man and the gender recognition act should be changed. Please do not vote for or give a preference for her. Having someone as president who thinks this way would be absolutely awful for minorities #SpeirGorm

I still use it almost every day

Heres a tote bag c got from my shop and she told me she loves it,

Yeah, I guess I wouldn’t like the kind of secrets that me feel that I should pass on the information to someone else

Exactly

Okay, that makes sense

I must admit, I don’t really understand this - I’m a secret keeper, which means my friends feel comfortable to talk over things with me about their lives or work or whatever, knowing I won’t gossip, I’ve never seen that as manipulative or selfish. Am I missing something?

There’s a call from the altar for better mental health services in their memory, and in recognition of other families wondering if a similar tragedy could happen in their family 😢

Watching their funeral online (not up to attending) and it is so very heartbreaking

Drumcondra Glasnevin is near the city centre and has the Botanic Gardens, the historic Glasnevin cemetery that L also has tours i believe, the Gravedigger’s pub , then there’s Croke Park Stadium, the home of GAA, which also has an amazing looking tour of the roof from which you can see the city

Hey #speirgorm can we recommend best old buildings and museums and other interesting historical sights for David?
My starter is The Little Museum of Dublin

Looks like another budget where full-time family Carers are forgotten.
I don’t qualify for Carers Allowance even though I gave up work 21 years ago.
Tell me this government care for Carers #Budget25 #Speirghorm

The government don’t care about carers, their MEAN test is just about scattering a few crumbs from the table in the hope of keeping us quiet

"She could have had the lucrative career of performative activism she was being lined up for. But by shunning this path, she shows up so many liberals for the frauds they are. She also puts a spotlight on all the big climate scientists who’ve never once said genocide is bad for the environment."

Also can anyone recommend an artist who does street art for back garden walls?

Asking for the abseiler #Speirgorm

Pic shows the dark silhouette of a woman abseiling down a rope from above a large stadium against a mostly cloudy sky. She has one leg bent. Blue tiered seating can be seen to the right and the green grass of the stadium is far below her

Pic shows a statue of a disheveled Brendan Behan sitting on park bench. Behind him are the still waters of the canal, that reflect the blue sky above and the roundy green trees to the left. Paths can be seen running up each side of the canal, as we’ll as glimpses of red brick houses

Pic shows a pair of black lace up ankle boots on a wooden floor

1. Became the “official” videographer for an abseiling event to raise funds for the Coombe Hospital
2. Walked a newly opened section of the Royal Canal Greenway
3. My pal dragged me into a local charity shop and, much to my surprise, I came out with a top, a dress, & a pair of boots

Reminds me of the “Why would they need a hospital in Tallaght?” comment, by an otherwise lovely work colleague in the 1990s

For the record: it is not possible, at this juncture, to officially withdraw or to remove a name from the #aras25 ballot paper.

Jim Gavin’s name will remain on the ballot for Friday 24th, merely with no campaign behind it.
