the thieves said "I'm not going to be the person I'm expected to be anymore.." and all the walls of the shop collapsed and they made their getaway

Happy to be of service. I once got into a taxi in Dublin wearing a cool new outfit. I was nervous about deviating from the norm but did it anyway.

The taxi driver was on the phone when I got in. First thing he did was finish his phone call saying "I have to go, this fella's wearing dungarees"

The Irish Times reported on Friday night, an hour after polls closed: "Historic low turnout in presidential election likely". When the votes were counted, it turned out turnout was actually up vs 2018.

FF/FG will listen to the spoiled tally but what theyโ€™re going to hear and act on is โ€œBe more racistโ€

Just so we're clear Jim O'Callaghan largely agrees with the mob at Citywest. Any punishment the state metes out will be for violence against Gardaรญ, not for violence against innocent people in an IPAS centre.

Had a rugby coach when we were 11/12 who was a drill seargant in the army. He had us crawling through half-iced over muddy puddles shouting 'there's n0 rain' at the sky. We lost so many matches.

so I rephrased it and tried again but it still didnโ€™t go, and I did this ~20 more times and then the network sent her all the texts together.

Going to run for the presidency next time so that itโ€™ll be reported in the national media that when I was 18 and a girl asked me to text her and I did, but the network was down and the text didnโ€™t goโ€ฆ

The Snug Bar on Stephen Street sounds like the most chaotic pub ever. Everytime I pass just insane sounds from inside

The criticism of Maria Steen for her handbag is the worst of politics. Celebrate the difference (or โ€˜diversityโ€™): she is smart and stylish. Not my politics but a serious candidate all the same. 
No objections against those who didnโ€™t support her nomination. Free choice.

It's not enough that these people reap the benefits of multiple generations of wealth and social connections (look up both families), but the rest of us must remember to constantly tug the forelock, remember they're our betters, and refrain from even the mildest of ribbings.

I wonder if anyone introducing automated meeting notes, summaries etc to their teams has ever also considered the truly radical, disruptive approach of... having fewer meetings. ๐Ÿค”

Punch cartoon from the 1840s where an Irish person piggybacks on an English person. The Irish person is portrayed in the usual Punch style as slightly inhuman. He's carrying a sack of ยฃ50,000 on his back.

So Ebay Ireland has suspended our store, deleted all the listings which took us hours to photograph and post. We appealed, but to no avail. The shop is permanently banned from ebay Ireland and they will not give us a reason why. They will also keep all the money from the sales for 120 days or more

Fella on Newstalk to defend greyhound racing getting increasingly angry about Mercosur out of nowhere. "They're bringing in the beef with the angel dust into this country"
"This is a debate about greyhound racing," says the host

And then when I asked for a minute taker they reacted like I was going to take the nominee out to the lane behind Cathedral Street to be shot
