For non Irish people on here, today is All Ireland final day. Donegal, my county, is in their 4th final. Kerry, the opponents are in their 60th. Weโ€™ve won it twice in our history. To say the excitement here is wild would be an understatement. #UpDonegal

Yes, the Nobel committee will definitly choose someone who is rounding up innocent people and putting them in a concentration camp.

I fly a lot, normally twice a week. Leeds Bradford is the worst airport in the U.K.
Searched me because of my colostomy.
The only one that doesnโ€™t let you through Fast track if you have EasyJet plus. They tried to charge me for a bag Iโ€™ve used for 10 years. All round, horrible place I try to avoid.

At an amazing event run by @inishowenrfc.bsky.social u-16 girls. They are rowing 100miles. 5 machines, 20 miles each machine. Coming down to the wire now. The last few miles.

I just saved this onto my phone. Thank you.

Iโ€™m gutted for him. I know he is such a fan. But our Midfield is just too strong for him to succeed now. He was born about 10 years too late. Heโ€™d have been a legend.

I had childhood Meningitis at 10 years old. The spinal tap is no joke. It left me with a fear of needles for most of my life.
Considering Iโ€™ve had Crohnโ€™s disease since I was 15, that has been a burden.

Once again with the dog thing.
Why would any decent person throw out a dog? Why would you say that?
Has he never met a dog?

My daughter is Dog sitting a 4 month old Staffy dog.
It makes the strangest sounds. I had to google it to see if itโ€™s normal.
It is..!!!
They almost have a language.
Google it and you will laugh your heart out.

I had one of those bags.

Iran is a friend of Russia. Supplying them with drones and missiles.
Tucker is also Russias friend, very close to Putin.
If you think about it that way, it makes sense for these people to be against war with Iran.

Yep. No idea where this American โ€œIrish goodbyeโ€ comes from.

Although, no cobweb situations were involved.

When Twitter first started, Iโ€™d say I was one of the few people on it from Inishowen. The local paper did a tweet of the week and I was in it at least, every month. I had to ask them to stop.

Watching Donegal v Mayo with family. My uncle says โ€œI might need a 3rd cup of tea after that.โ€๐Ÿ˜‚

The American saying โ€œAn Irish goodbyeโ€ is definitely bullshit.

We were just at a social gathering and our teens text to say the electric trip had gone off.
It took 45mins to leave the gathering from our first โ€œGood byeโ€.

Yes, prize money is rediculous.

Real Madrid paid Liverpool โ‚ฌ10m to buy out just the last 4 weeks of Trent Alexander Arnoldโ€™s contract so he could play in it. Seems to me they want to win.

This is for the Club World Cup. Itโ€™s a new tournament and starts this weekend. Ticket sales have been abysmal apparently. Very few European fans will risk going Iโ€™d say.

12.06.2025 12:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The prize money to the winner is โ‚ฌ100m. The clubs will want that money.

Sometimes, I wonder about this dog.

Iโ€™ll be honest, I never really got him.

I live quite close to this. Some locals are stirring up nonsense on FB that this will be dangerous and are trying to get it stopped. The usual crowd of anti-vaxers and anti immigrants.

I was lucky. I was able to combine both sets of results. I think that was stopped shortly after. Mine were โ€˜90 and โ€˜91.

I loved it so much, I did it twice.
