He was also fond of referring to Phil Lynott - who he met in the 60s during a brief stint working in the record industry - as “that gurrier from Crumlin”.

He’s such an arse. To be fair though, I do remember in 1977 my late father - who was not an arse - giving out about the amount of news time being given over to the passing of a guy who was “just a bloody singer”. This was Elvis Presley.

Koffi Olomide album

This album was pretty much the soundtrack to a summer I spent in East Africa a long time ago so I’m checking out Discogs to see if I can score a vinyl copy. Enjoying the reviews (1/3)

I prompted co-pilot to write a position statement on AI use in an Irish University; see does it look familiar to you.

It was a really special gig. Terrific stuff.

Got a ticket @stereolabgroop.bsky.social were awesome in Whelan’s tonight.

It seems to be getting worse and worse. I hardly leave the house anymore (on foot, bike or car) without seeing a driver speeding, breaking a red light or doing some other stupid, dangerous shit within about five minutes.

Thanks. Sorted now though.

Anyone got a spare ticket for @stereolabgroop.bsky.social in Whelans tonight? Will pay real money #speirgorm #speirghorm @foggynotions.bsky.social

Absolutely my favourite Irish band of that time. Still listen to their records all the time.

Great stuff Dudley.

Are we still actively using it?

Note to Irish musical artists. Please stop doing the slow droney thing. It’s beyond boring at this stage.

Yeah. You got a problem? Take it to the tsunami!

Surely this is wrong anyway. Is a hotel directly responsible if a tsunami destroys it in the middle of someone’s holiday?

Wow. I suppose this is one of the problems when you start treating students as “consumers” i.e. this "It's very simple, in English law if you paid for a five-star holiday and received a one-star holiday, you are entitled to compensation," Goldwater said … but …

Gorgeous guitar. What is it? My bro-in-law just bought an Epiphone 355 and he is deeply in love with it.

Paul Verhoeven’s Benedetta would be a good one for him too.

I’ve done it. It’s easier that you might think. Getting off gmail is the hardest but I found there are straightforward alternatives to almost everything else.

Articles appearing bashing public sector workers? It’s like 2008 all over again!

Never lets you down.

I dunno. Some kind of deranged brain disease that you get from hanging out in Silicon Valley. And being rich.

Gross.

I don’t have the patience or self-discipline for all that so going to Pilates 2-3 times a week is my thing now.

Pilates dude. Pilates is the answer.

It seems you own all of my records.
