There are some stories where my brain instinctively puts the shutters up, as if to say "don't worry lad, we're not gonna let you waste any of life's precious minutes thinking about that"

The Buckley cat thing is one of those stories

Washington DC, March 17th. The President declares war on Ireland, right to the Taoiseach's face. He then bombs the Irish leader, who explodes into a million pieces. One of those pieces is a hand, which still manages to hand the shamrocks over to President Trump. Those plucky Irish never give up!

Perfect sketch material in this guy talking in these meaningless tough guy platitudes - "they think they're the big dog on campus, well, they're wrong, we're the big dog on campus, and we got a hell of a bite" - as the audience slowly realise he's stuck on these and can't say anything else

Hahahahaha, so it's still grand to call veggie stuff 'sausages' & 'burgers', but:

"Celine Imart, a right-wing lawmaker from France who sponsored the plan, hailed the deal as an β€˜undeniable success’"

Yes, a great success, & time well spent. Now lets all sit back & enjoy a nice glass of turnip juice

Real sitcom logic that nobody just ran up and stopped her before she made a fool of herself. But it's cause they all hate each other and can't wait for a bout of back stabbing

I'm a big fan of him assigning people nicknames to things, and vice-versa. Spain is a loser, windmills are losers, Biden is a broken down piece of crap

Farting (flatulence)
Farting, also known as flatulence or wind, is normal. Everyone farts, some people more than others. Most people fart about 5 to 15 times a day.

Typing "how often should I be farting per day" into Google to make sure everything is in working order.

Are there really people who only do 5 a day? What a life

Feel bad for our Government cause this new war will probably make the Occupied Territories Bill EVEN MORE complex to pass, & they were just about to pass it! I even saw MicheΓ‘l Martin running into Leinster House last week, holding the OTB, on his way to pass it, & then the bloody war broke out

Never posting normal after posting anti-trans stuff continues to be law

Yep, same craic with organisations who let staff go without following procedure. As long as only 1 or 2 fight back it's worth the hit

I love when they stumble into nonsense like this cause they can't quite let a sentence end just yet

This fella was so clearly sent on the show with some cards reading "DE-ESCALATE" "CONFLICT RESOLUTION" and "DIALOGUE"

Huh, almost as if interacting with the RTB is no form of deterrent

"Did you write those rules for the new boardgame?"

"Sure did boss, real vague and everything left to the discretion of the players, just like you asked"

Amazing how constantly having to call meetings like this, begging them not to jack up the prices of fuel, food, homes, etc etc, never seems to make them question whether the laws are robust enough in the first place

Just basing this off my own replies, where on Twitter I'd have regular abusive ones saying all sorts of horrible stuff, especially if I posted a sketch, whereas here I don't think I've ever had one that fit that bill

I have entered the future of recent past, for I am a PS5 boy now.

First on the list: Blue Prince

But I also have loads of games I haven't played from my PS4, so I reckon I'll be enjoying them for the time being

I don't think I've had a reply that annoyed in me months. Amazing what people got used to on Twitter

He talks a big game, but if our Government are anything to go by, he'll be over in the White House on Spain's National Day, handing Trump a bowl of some plant that's strongly associated with Spain

Don't even have to look it up to be sure his golf course in Scotland has had issues with windmills at some point

If those films about soldiers being sad about all the civilians they killed while deployed were visualised as a human face, it would look like Michael Martin's.
