Oh my god I hope Channel 4 have doctors with shots of hydrocortisone waiting in the wings for all the repetitive strain injuries, Christ on a bike!!

I thought it was some half baked Game of Thrones reference? Is it any good? I am not sure whether I’d be into it

"Spare a thought"

Cuimhním orthu siúd gan an deis chéanna acu liomsa an Ghaeilge a bheith acu ar pé chúis - cos ar bholg, bochtaineacht, éagumas nó rochtain is déanaim iarracht na baic sin a scrios seachas éisteacht leo siúd ab b'fhearr leo géilleadh.

Yes but the handbag is real cold as well

*cries in Finland*

Rory Best appeared in court the day Paddy Jackson's victim gave her evidence. He said lawyers asked for him to be there, he lied and had to pay substantial damages to the lawfirm. He was Ireland captain at the time. He was a character witness for Jackson.

Are you listening to the Andy Serkis ones?? He is sublime!!

One thing I learned from my very recent listen to the LOTR audiobooks is that the men of Gondor are Very Strong and Very Good and Not At All Corruptible By An Awesome Power

English is a tricky language, people do be making mistakes in it all the time. That’s why it’s important that we don’t take it seriously in law

There is no need to fix it, there is no discrepancy, that’s what Irish supremacy in the text is for.

I will not let you besmirch the good name of the Seanad in my mentions!
