Were you there?

And I know it's not but there was context

Tried to say "is comic con a cult?" to a group of teens but that's not what came out

In previous house we'd get frequent power cuts. ESB guy told us it was a cow rubbing against a pole in a field and that he just had to work out which cow, against which pole, in which field...

The post office is a public service, and making it pay for itself is an abdication of responsibility by the government. Fund the bloody thing so it doesn’t overprice itself into a death spiral.

A maze, where the unfortunate has to make their way from the Titanic to the lifeboat

This was a thing in Cobh years ago.

In the library with the candlestick

Sorry but we literally debunked this like last month when he did this dog whistle. Fintan O'Toole literally did the maths, in the Times no less, that showed that this isn't true.

Why are we bothering to publish such an obvious lie when we know it's a lie?

With the scams being so sophistocated I think the only way I'll believe something is if it's sent to me on paper, by snail mail, and I have to go into a physical building and talk to a real person to redeem whatever the heck the offer is

If you give this a like we'll put you in a hat and one of ye will win a nice #TheLateNightWritersClub Book *and* a fairly tricky 1000 piece Jigsaw puzzle featuring the Reading Room at @nlireland.bsky.social and, of course, YeatsBinchyBeckettKavanaghWildeSwiftEdgeworthKeaneTynanO'CaseyBehanJoyce

Christ, the open kimino image still has me reeling. Lauging outloud at the horrendousness of it all helps, a little. I think.

am reminded of the old joke: what did James Watson discover?

Rosalind Franklin’s notes.

How would you spell passerbys... bies...? Bye byebyebyebye bye

The plural of passerby being passersby.
This language is weird

Might be about to get a pair of kittens

There's a storm on the way? Hope the trick or treaters come soon or I will be eating suger and crisps all night

Watched Task and Mark Ruffalo is as usual excellent but basically it's all about the men self-indulging and leaving the girls and women in their lives to pick up the pieces so I got pretty frustrated with them

Ok, so this is how it ends.

Screenshot of a newspaper article featured a headshot of a man against a dynamic “techy” looking background that includes a map of Ireland. The headline says: John Collison of Stripe: Ireland is going backwards. Here's how to get it moving

John Collison is a businessman who’s good at making money for himself. If you’re a businessman interested in making money for John Collison then you should listen to him. If you’re not a businessman interested in making money for John Collison then his opinion is no more important than anyone else’s

When is bailing out the banks they're all about "tough choices", but when it comes to climate goals they can't risk making polarising decisions. Hope you can eat the money, that's all I'll say.

Butter Beans should take a long, hard look at themselves too. And kidney beans. And beef tomatoes. Next up, mince pies. I've a list

How do we spell pyjamas?

Once started a long, end of week complaint with Ho Oral instead of Hi Orla
Tapped away in an energetic, self-righteous manner and hit send before re reading... wasn't long climbing down off my high horse (in fairness she was lovely about it)

Oh my god people on tv are shite at folding the washing

*hums a bit* I have been blind
The LADY IN RED
Is DANcing with me
*whispers* cheek to cheek

Best way to get rid of an earworm is to share it, right?

Grab of a tweet asking 'Can anyone explain how putting up flags and painting roundabouts helps protect women and girls from assault?' with a reply post saying 'Because the offenders are busy painting roundabouts or are up a ladder'

4 down, 8 down please!

I'm struggling with hitting your hairy nuts, as well as with 4 down. Have filled in 13 ac without quite getting but otherwise I think I've done ok! And I enjoyed that :)
