Will this make them more affordable for people looking for a home?

“Oh absolutely not!”

Loved that one as a kid. Must go back to it.

There are so many Monster Mash sounding tracks from the 60s on there. I guess people couldn’t get enough of those novelty tracks back then.

Best genre of music just dropped on Apple Music…

Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)

That’s a wrap on recording series 5 of the New Drama Hour at the @nearfm.ie studios. We’re deep in post-production right now but the series will start airing at the end of this month. #AudioDrama

Feel like it would have been late 90s or early 2000s when they last charged no fares on a strike. Search engines are all garbage now so hard to find a source on anything.

Dublin Bus workers used to do that alright. But, yes. I believe there was a legal challenge against the practice so it doesn’t happen anymore.

Today in things that somehow aren’t a joke, Japanese clothing brand Hardcore Chocolate (HARDCC)’s new collab is… Mr Bean

Back in studio recording new audio drama today at the @nearfm.ie studios.

Got the excellent soundtrack on vinyl.

Eh, I can personally attest to the fact that you can’t actually say “whatever the fuck your want” on RTE 🤷🏼‍♀️

ALIEN logo being build and the E has no middle line

The ALIEN logo

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.

I’m sorry. If you sell me a Mint Aero with no bubbles I’ll be taking you to court for emotional damages and my pay out will far exceed €10,000.

They already ended free speech to stifle the Palestine movement a year or two ago but fwiw I am genuinely sorry to see it's affecting talk-show hosts now too.

Got to hand it to the wind. It’s doing more to remove those stupid flags than the city council ever will.

That little creature… I hate it so much!

Only one of those movies where they pronounce Samhain correctly too.

Remember! It’s super easy to change electricity provider. Just took me 5 minutes to do it all online there.

Best is probably @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social

I’m almost done with Twitter but

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A guy looks in on a lady who's crying and says, "Hey, is everything okay?" She replies, "It's just... the Bone Farmer... he died." Panel 2: He: "He was that thing that would break into people's homes and steal their skeletons while they slept, right?" She: "So sad." Panel 3: They are looking at a picture of what I would describe as an interdimensional monster with way too many eyes and teeth. And a bowtie. She: "I mean obviously: IDEOLOGICALLY I didn't agree with him. With regards to skeleton ownership. But his smart li'l bowtie!" He: "You have to admire his tenacity for a cause he BELIEVED IN!" Panel 4: A man in a gigantic glass jar whose body appears to be pretty much just a shapeless lump resting on the bottom of it, obviously missing a skeleton: "Gonna have to disagree with you folks here." The first guy: "Too SOON, Geoff!"

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

Fate of the Fellowship full board showing the map of Middle-Earth.

Fate of the Fellowship close up photo of Frodo, Sam and Gollum as they approach Mordor.

The fully assembled cardboard dice tower in the shape of Barad-dûr.

Got to play Fate of the Fellowship at @boardgamesireland.com yesterday.

It’s got a Pandemic style foundation but it’s got so much stuff placed on top that you may not recognise the Pandemic game mechanics at work. Cool dice tower too.

Remembering Denis Byrne
At 12.30pm today Declan Cahill will speak to Donie on Northside Today about the life of the Artane playwright. Followed at 1 by a rebroadcast of Declan’s interview with Denis from 2015.

Did an infant first aid class today. I was so good at CPR the dummy sprang to life. I named him Gregory. He escaped into the ducts. The instructor said that’s the first time he’s ever seen that happen.

“Mic-drop moment” seems rather crass when reporting on a child who is seemingly dead. Horrible.
