Oh I think we know…

Gorgeous!

LEAVE IT WHERE YOU FOUND IT. JESUS CHRIST, HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER SEEN A MOVIE?

That is some gene pool … I catch myself laughing sometimes with a sibling at the latest parental antic, and then wonder what we’ll be like in in 20 years. Gulp.

Sessions with my editors have sometimes been like this

Sweep puppet as Sweepcliff!

Sweepcliff as therapist!

Finally, a remake I want to see.

I don’t know what time it is where you are but I think a gin or a brandy might be in order.

Terrifying.

Full and complete list of every acceptable reason for you to be late if we have arranged a time to meet:

- You stopped to say hello to a dog

Fair Deal, Una McKevitt’s new play on the Peacock stage @abbeytheatre.bsky.social, is dark, funny and outrageous- 3 of my favourite things. Fab acting, writing and directing. #speirghorm

Love Eoin McNamee in general, and especially in The Bureau. He’s a master.

So the weather is wild but these hellebores are dancing … living their best lives.

I loved so much about Waiting for the Out- writing, acting, directing- the ambition, the nuance, the way story and character built episode to episode.

"Et enfin, Poirot can reveal that the poison, it was administered via a tiny, almost imperceptible incision in the left buttock"

"Arsenic?"

"Précisément, Hastings"

Well now, thank you for the Public Service Announcement!

A mattress advert, where it's yellow colour, along with the white sheet on top of it, brings to mind the aforementioned sweet treat.

That moment when you see a 'suggested post' and think to yourself "I really fancy some lemon meringue pie now".

DC also one of our funniest writers - MR, ‘often dressed, inexplicably, like an Alpine maid’ and JE … oh well worth a read!!

Little ask for any of you interested in football, history or Dublin 8 and surrounds.

@historystpats.bsky.social was a big success on Twitter but we left because it is the worst place in the world. Very few have followed us here. It would be great to get a few more follows and some amplification! 🔴⚪️

😁

As do all of us who live in Dublin!!

Thank you for reminding me I’d love to make a radio programme about Frances Molloy and No Mate for the Magpie!

I don’t think the novel is that well known even in Ireland.

I doubt it but there oughtabe!

I have a copy - not easy to find- and will read it one day! I was told it is a lost treasure of a book - she died youngish, I think.
