I appreciate whoever chose this picture for Come Dine With Me on the Channel 4 app.

This is the only pic I have of my dress or me really at the wedding. A poor waiter tipped a tray of drinks on me after the ceremony. The venue organised to bring me back to the hotel to change since I had a spare green bridesmaid dress. Unfortunate, but a story to tell!

Me taking a selfie in a grass green dress with a silver bag. My hair is tied up in a ponytail.

Bridesmaid duties for wedding 1 done. Wedding 2 pending.

Most of the comments on Tiktok were confused Dubs and I asked 2 Dub colleagues they had never heard of it.

Yeah, scratched! I scrawbed my knee.

There's videos on Tiktok of the word 'scrabbed' mostly used in the North of Ireland.

In Laois and most midlands counties, we'd say 'scrawbed'.

I discovered that Dubs don't know this word. I'm shocked.

A single image from a film that immediately makes you hear the song from the soundtrack playing in your head.

Girl breakfast.

Sorry, I'm old, American, and can't be bothered to open Google. Please explain like I'm 5 because I don't get jokes.

I had to block them, Jim. The truth doesn't register because it doesn't equate to the rhetoric they want out there. But, thank you for sharing.

Certainly not 40,000 people.

Hit a nerve. One day, you'll feel sick and disgusted about these tirades on social media defending this. I feel sorry for you. I wish you all the best in your healing and realisation journey.

We couldn't give a shite if you're a jew or formed a religion about the man on the moon once you're not murdering people.

We couldn't give a shite about religion as a nation, so that's a load of lies. Ireland is a diverse, tolerant country. History will be in our favour. You won't be able to stand by articles detailing murder/death at Israels hands in years to come like you post here about 1930s Ireland. Wake up.

They don't accept the truth. A bit of rational thinking, and they'd come to this conclusion, and yet they like to bring up history constantly. The history of Ireland is plain and clear, and the reasoning as to why we are neutral then and now.

We know our history. You're copying and pasting anything to direct attention from the modern-day atrocities committed at the hands of Israel. You've nothing on Ireland today, so you've got to dig back 100 years. Irish people know the stuff you're copying and pasting.

Can't you see you're repeating what happened to Jews? Creating demeaning caricatures of Irish while also skipping over context and denying. In WW2, Ireland was a new state, 800 yrs of pain. We did not want a war. We have the right to be Jewish DIRECTLY written in our constitution ratified in 1937.

Who is blaming Jews here? Certainly not Michael D.

Israel is not above criticism. Israel seems to think they are, so they would prefer to leave than face the truth Ireland is clearly presenting to them as are other nations like Spain.

I don't think they even knew the song they just knew to go feral.

I requested Limp Bizkit Rollin' for me and my work pal at our Xmas party, and the middle aged dad's came out swinging. One WACKED me in the back during it. Last place I thought I'd be is in a corporate mosh pit.

Went to my friends house for a Christmas dinner at 7 pm. Didn't leave until 5.30 am.

The dessert I brought/made.

Yes!

Until February for the next best Irish TV night of the year, the Late Late Valentines Special. #LateLateToyShow

😂

They have it now. Took way too long, though.

The #LateLateToyShow audience once again proving they can't clap to a beat.

Dickie Rock death announcement just before the #LateLateToyShow. Thanks Dickie for lowering the vibes.
