My personal theory is that "No AI, No App, No Internet" will become a selling point on appliances that clearly don't need them.

This #FAICup final is creating a massive conflict in my two favoured outcomes of any football match (in order):

1. Any result that is good for #Bohs.
2. Any result that is bad for Rovers.

There's only two forms of coalition that'll never happen. One involves FG and SF together, the other is any combination that involves PBP.

Just saw Rui Costa is retiring, who are the old school haters going to blame for breakaways not working now?

Odds are greatly in favour of #Bohs getting Europe now, still doesn't detract from the fact that the club made a massive mistake giving Reynolds a new contract before Europe is secure.

Needed a favour from Shels today, and still need a favour from Rovers next week.

I think it's appalling that Britain's most enduringly popular family don't pay income tax or VAT, but it's hard to deny how much joy they bring to the general public. That chandelier gag alone...

That bass guitar on top has two too many strings.

For all those calling for a referendum to increase the eligibility criteria for the #PresidentialElection, probably worth remembering the Presidential Age referendum. That would've increased eligibility by about 20% of the population; it was soundly rejected.

Yes, I'm still annoyed by it.

There was a time when only the count staff got to see the deranged nonsense scrawled on spoiled ballots.

Now, thanks to #spoilyourvote, we all can.

Probably worth remembering that when the low turnout numbers are being discussed for the #PresidentialElection, that the electoratal register is in serious need of maintenance.

Vote done in #PresidentialElection.

Is that it though? Mark one box and you're done?

Is that's what it's like voting in all British or Yank elections? Poor bastards.

I was tempted to add a preference for Gavin just to add a little frisson.

If there is a parked car on the pavement I will literally walk over it if I can get up the bumper and onto the bonnet or boot, rather than go around it. If I leave a footprint or a dent, even better. It's a footpath, dickheads, park your car properly and not in my right of way.

France should not only pay back the Haitian reparation money, they should pay reparations to Haiti for kidnapping and forced labor.

Every previous election:

"The left needs to unite."

"There should be a clear divide between government and opposition options."

"Ireland is lacking a distinct right-left split."

This #Aras25 election:

"Disgraceful that there aren't more candidates to give us proper choice."

No need to be young and attractive to be one of the most sought after people in the world.

Just wait until your electricity and gas bills are up for renewal.

European election: "Look at the size of the ballot paper, load of no hopers, we need fewer candidates."

Presidential election: "No choice, too hard to get on the ballot, we need more candidates."

When is a sausage no longer one? EU Parliament answers after grilling The European Parliament has voted to ban meat-related terms like โ€œburgerโ€ and โ€œsausageโ€ for plant-based products, prompting backlash from consumer and environmental groups. #EuropeNews

Blood oranges, beef tomatoes, and artichoke hearts also need to be included.

Too many times have I stood in the fruit and veg section in utter confusion.

#Budget25 has given far too much to that thing I'm against, and not nearly enough to that thing I'm in favour of.

I'm sure they're counting on that massive "have no idea of the politicial affiation of the candidates, but will also be motivated to turn out to vote" section of the electorate that is always so decisive.
