Sometimes in our house we’ll have a bit of craic and do blind taste test.

First unanimous verdict today - bathroom blinds taste horrible.

The arrangement of the slabs is very artistic to be fair. Beautiful work.

O autumn leaf brown and frail
Devoid of your former glory
Resigned to spend your final days
On this cold concrete slab…



…ah no, it’s dogshit!

You couldn't make Trigger Happy TV today. Not because of woke. It's simply that most of the audience wouldn't understand that the loud guy with the big phone was doing something bad.

Pic on the Sunday Times article mostly pitched at the unlikelihood of a civil servant on a small press getting Julia Roberts involved in the TV show of Leonard and Hungry Paul. (Spoiler alert: it's down to the fact that she liked the book.)

In the Sunday Times today talking about Leonard and Hungry Paul, Julia Roberts and the whole business.

Sequel to Alanis Morrisette “Ironic” just dropped:
“Gerry McBride had too many HDMIs
Threw them in the bin
Cause they weren’t hard to come by.
And on the day he finally needed one,
Between the cable and the petrol, he was out nearly a tonne”.

Rónán! That’s incredible! Gobsmacked! Is it true she’ll be doing in a Dundalk accent? On hand for any accent coaching FYI.

Julia Roberts to narrate new BBC series Leonard and Hungry Paul The feel-good series follows two board-gaming friends in their thirties who meander through leafy suburban life finding solace in their quiet routines

It's true! Julia Roberts will be narrating Leonard and Hungry Paul.

She read the book when it came out and her agent got in touch to say she really liked it. But I never thought things would go this far.

Delighted.
