6 games in and #bohs haven't been behind in a game yet!
It sounds goofy to say it, but speaking as a former firefighter, THE TOWERING INFERNO has some of the most accurate fire/smoke behavior and firefighting response (setting aside the gloriously ludicrous ending) ever filmed.

Have a #painting from the southwest of Ireland. "Cobh IV" was not the first time I painted the Cork harbour town, and if I ever finish the paintings currently in progress then it won't be the last either. Shapes. I like them. #art #SpeirGhorm
I thought this was a great profile of Nigel Rolfe by Gemma Tipton

He also made this really interesting album many years ago....

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.
Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.
(And would much appreciate a RT please)
this could be the very definition of a win-win season!
I know many are against this but, for some of us, Arsenal grinding out a league title with a series of 1-0 wins would have a warm, nostalgic glow. Raised on 70s/80s pragmatism, seduced by 90s beauty, now loving some pragmatic beauty!
I think that is what the article is proposing, indirectly?
Genius!
This is absolutely amazingly creative!
Seriously - invest 5 minutes.
It will amuse.
Guardian reports that Iran’s nuclear programme has been among the reasons Israel and the US have given for the attacks, alleging Iran was getting too close to being able to eventually make an atom bomb.
'...too close to eventually make....'
Does that translate as ...'not close'?
My bbc:microbit listening in on the opening bars of Under Pressure. 🧪(open.spotify.com/track/7rgZTz...)
Even worse - this chart is the unit charge. The UK's standing charge is about £0.60 per day and €0.73 per day.
In France it is €0.16 ...
If I remember the logic at the time, prices were ramped up before deregulation. We were told that prices had to be higher to attract competition into the marketplace so that they could then get cheaper. Or something like that. Perhaps I misunderstood.
Followed a link from @duncanjonesmerrion.bsky.social to find this really interesting chart: I can remember when Ireland was one of the cheapest for electricity in Europe, but then it was deregulated to make it cheaper...or something like that.
"Starter homes"
Brits being "trapped in the first home they buy"
There will never be homes for everyone as long as people continue to think of homes as merely investments
This week's theme was St Paul's Cathedral.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Take a look over the timeline for full details of these and the rest of the featured pieces.
What a great photo from the Bohs v Shamrock Rovers game!
3 points clear having played Rovers and Derry! #Bohs
#Mixtape on RTE is good ... but so confusing! I got used to it being filmed in Dublin, though it's based in Sheffield. But now one of the characters has moved to actual Dublin! It's like a bit-part player playing two (simillar) roles.
If tactical voting means voting for the party most likely to defeat reform, then I suppose that would give the Greens a slight edge. But how remarkable that tactical voting - which has maintained the Labour/Tory duopoly for a century could now act against both.
It is a challenging scenario for anybody on the left looking to make a tactical decision on voting! But what an indictment of the voting system if reform get in on that sort of vote share.
Yeah. We got that yesterday in Dublin. But there's a cold wind on its way to you right now, so don't pack up the winter coats just yet!
