Dara O Briain

Ha! Hey Carole, hope you’re well, well done on the nomination! Glad I doubled back and did that joke now.

Watched Bladerunner again last night. Would have been so much better if they had gone with the original idea, that instead of origami unicorns, Edward James Olmos’ character had made balloon animals.
“It’s too bad she won’t live;
but then again
SQUEEEK-SQUEEEK-SQUEEEEEEK-SQUEEEEK
Who does?”

Delivered like, Are we playing Stonehenge again tonight?

Ha!

A lot of the claims for immortality seemed defeated by its tendency to die very easily.

So t20 wins, not by being a better format (a different debate) but by just invisibly ruining test cricket. Still three days free for VAT, laundry, chores, what not.

As an occasional watcher, and someone just following by text, would it fair to say, what the fuck was that match? No-one could bat, and then one guy was really good at batting and wrapped the whole thing up in an hour?

Jesus, that goal is the spit of Robbie Keane vs Germany in 2002. Just needed the heavy-arsed somersault at the end.

Ha! I was planning that for later, for when I thought the match was actually on. Luckily I checked…

Jesus, my heart is not the better for that. Amazing stuff from Ireland. #coybig

Yes! Ireland! What a finish!

I would genuinely like to hear more of this theory.

There must have been one more piece of information there. Even when I was starting I think I was too nerdy to go “Books?!”. Although films would be fair game.

Hopefully, but possibly not for a while, due to other work things clashing. Will need to be back during baseball season now though…

Ah fine, no problem so! I thought you were being serious and a bit tough on me; but it’s always hard to read tone in these places. You keep well!

Yes please! but it might be delayed until Spring 27.

I am always excited by a return to Grieghallen. I have to come up with another “I can’t believe this is the actuall where Edvard Grieg wrote…” Done that home 4 times so far.

Last few tickets just released for Newcastle this Fri/Sat! Please come along. Absolutely loving this show.

I got the joke! You folks keep well.

Cool Zoe, thanks for that. It was really what I needed to hear in that moment. Maybe unfollow me, so I don’t bother you again. Bye.

That IS the important thing.

Ard-fhear.

@ronanhession.bsky.social Hey Ronan, apropos of nothing in particular, loved “Ghost Mountain” and currently loving “Leonard and Hungry Paul”. Thanks for that!

Oh, immediately. Plus, people can’t decide whether I’m too successful and thus out-of-touch, or a failure and thus looking for attention.

Thank you.

No, no, it was nice, made me feel alive again.

(Sigh)

One of the stranger aspects of all this anger is the constant belief that people only have a different opinion to you because they are paid to; it is unthinkable that somebody might just disagree with you on their own dime.
The BBC paid me to say that, by the way.

Honestly, I just keep it for sport. As in, actual Sport. But even that is becoming less fun.
