Gerry Hoban

There it possibly is, years later w my da?

I’m still imagining what grandpa the vet made the fur coat from…

Five children? Did she sell one? Great story, ‘formidable woman’ indeed.

At a pinch, Barry Keoghan could play all four in the movie version...

Same. Applied on a Friday. Both posted out on a Monday. Superb. Just had to retake my f**king photo 49 gazillion times before it was accepted 🙄

Also, bemoaning "a lack of joined-up thinking", from a man who fell for a phone charger shoved up a nostril...

Very fine writing, and depressingly on the nail.

I do remember how racist many of my peers became, who emigrated to NY in the ‘80s. One step up the ladder, pissing down on those beneath…

Church of Ireland, Anglican, Presbyterian, Reformed Presbyterian, Free Presbyterian, Unitarian, Methodist, Evangelical (taigs throw their papist rubbish on the ground)

It’s not the last foreign object he’ll have shoved up an orifice in prison… 😬

“DJ will be writing for the Indo in 6 years” is such a depressingly blunt truism of Irish life.

RIP Gilson Lavis
First came across him as I fell in love with Squeeze & he was their drummer but he played with Buddy Holly & Jerry Lee Lewis previously.
Anyway, here’s a perfect kitchen sink pop song.

At Home with Maria, exclusive by Barry Eager: ‘her fragrant tears clear a path through the ornate landscaped garden to her private chapel & sacrificial altar; we pray together but alas when we open our eyes, Connolly is still President and I am still ginger’

I just did the international sign for ‘Can I have the bill please?’ and the waiter brought me a stylophone.

I’m *almost* tempted to buy the Sindo tomorrow, just for the exploding heads #aras25

Whatever you think will be in this timeline, nope, try again.

I’m in middle of researching White House/James Hoban, and I am gobsmacked. Have dealt with lovely people in WH association, they must be so ashamed of what he’s doing.

Sweet suffering jaysus

For overseas followers: in Ireland every seven years we vote for someone to tell the Government they are a bunch of evil clowns and every five years we vote in the evil clowns.

Superb article, beautifully written...

Here's an oldie from The Oldie... #art #artist #lifedrawing #nudity #chicken #cartoon

This image of Rat Island in New York looks eerily familiar, sideways... (from a great Guardian Photo Essay) www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Oh do pay attention Bond. Now, this might look like a perfectly normal ball point pen, but by manipulating these controls it can write in FOUR different colours.

Hmmm... It may be a 'voodoo pen'. One down...

The few times I met Manchán, he was a lovely, gentle man, and a uniquely funny & engaging polymath. Sympathies to Ruan & the family. RIP.
