The year is 2045. The adult children that lived in the garden shed are now in their late 40s and have inherited the main house. To solve the housing crisis FFG have dropped the restriction on non-family tenants in the shed. Crisis still exists. Airbnb doing great.

Social housing built by the government on state land?? Hahaha yeah..

How about social sheds but built by you in your back garden?

What if we throw in no regulations? Absolute fucking deathtraps, as many tenants as you can fit, charge whatever you like.....

Deal???

Well that's not something I expected to learn today.

There are plenty Deasys in West Cork, which really just proves that na Dรฉise are ethnic Cork folk, oppressed by Norse invaders. We will liberate Waterford.

Cue Irish Times article about Freeloading Waterford's Refusal To Join NATO.

You must realise that in the Cork psyche, our county is to the old Cรบige Mumhan as Russia is to the USSR. We see ourselves as the last bastion of a once great empire, and we long to reclaim the lost territories. Dungarvan is our Crimea.

And buy it they will. The Irish electorate at election time is like the Irish government when putting projects out to tender. We see a bid that's too good to be true and, despite past experience, think this time it will work out. See FF, FG, BAM for reference.

Latest proposal from government is for Michael Lowry to get leaders questions.
This is a slot for the opposition to hold the government to account.
They want Lowry who's pledged to support the government to ask them questions about how great they are.
Utterly unacceptable!

A reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found

- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns
- no warnings were given
- no soldiers were under threat
- the troops were the first to open fire

43 years on, we await the first prosecution.

Also a scene where it's revealed that he secretly pioneered modern battery technology from experimenting with Lithium, which he keeps in a Heart Shaped Box.

It's a bit like the cook-it-yourself steak on a stone fad that went through the restaurant industry a few years ago. In this case, they've left the cow partially unshaved.

Just checked. It is agri. The animals are considered livestock.

Not sure but I think an Olympic pool is roughly equal to 3.1417รท2(football field).

As far as govt is concerned it's just The Department of Bread and Circuses. I've always thought the Dept of Health should have far more input in sport.

26.01.2025 10:24 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Are they under dept of sport or agriculture? I think it might be the latter.

The richest man in the world went insane because he can buy anything except the ability to tell a joke. That's how valuable jokes are.

I made the mistake of selecting art as one of my topics of interest when I joined bluesky, and there was so much furry stuff and general manga doodles - neither of which interest me - that I actually just deleted the account and started a fresh one with no interests selected.

Oh _that_ incident. We don't talk about that incident. Still a bit raw.

The Gaza ceasefire was only agreed to give them a 6 week window to focus on levelling the West Bank.

Hang on now. Depending on the incident, your attendance figures may see a 50% increase.

They were doing this in The Kilty Stone way back in 2005. Delicious!

That's been a thing in Clonakilty for over 20 years. Get some black olives on there too. ๐Ÿ˜™๐Ÿ‘Œ

'Did he burn the documents?': Doherty raises questions about Lowry and the Doncaster deal Pearse Doherty told the house he had new information today.

"So let me put some new information on the house."

Pearse Doherty used his speaking time in the Dรกil today to raises questions about Michael Lowryย http://jrnl.ie/6602712t

Oh no! We've somehow ceded Waterford, Kilkenny, Wexford and Carlow to the Brits.

That is the point, but it's dangerous to assume the likes of Lowry or MHR won't twist and turn every which way to make this work for them. Realistically, what would the consequences be for Lowry if he votes against the govt?

They're registered members of one of the parties in government, so there's at least a delineation there. They could leave FFG and go into opposition but still vote exclusively with the govt. That's just a confidence and supply arrangement, which is nothing new in Irish politics.

Top tip for drink-driving fans: if you get into a wreck, flee the scene. Apparently that's totally legal.
