A nice dollop of cranberry sauce would go lovely with that! It looks fab!

I remember buying them for my Da, John Player Blue. Can't remember the price but they absolutely were not 18.55!

Isn't it mad?! I never smoked and I don't drink so I don't even know the price of a pint but 18.55 shocked me!

Yes, we did ours last year I think and our son's took longer as it was his first one but our ones arrived in about a week, not a bother.

Seems so, hey? I'm always in favour of social welfare increases even though they don't affect me, but deffo thought they'd be continuing some cost of living payments too.

Lads! Smokes are โ‚ฌ18.55 now?!!?!? You're kidding me. HOW is anyone still able to afford to smoke? No shade to anyone who smokes and/or is trying to give up, it's an awful addiction and a hard one to break so fair play - but how are you affording it?! You must be broke!

Those 'Here's how the Budget affects you' scenarios they publish in the paper will be interesting tomorrow, hey?

John is married with two kids and owns a McDonald's franchise ...

It's a fairly weak budget, isn't it? Not much for the regular dude or dudette. #Budget26 #spรฉirgorm

Yeah, that would have been my second choice!

This is causing a lot of confusion so there's a handy mnemonic you can use:

If your Gavin be gruesome, you'll find he's a Newsom.
If your rent he be havin', you've got a Jim Gavin.

Politics has been so depressing and miserable recently.
I really needed a good ol' Fianna Fรกil omnishambles to cheer me up. #Aras25.

Fun stuff like this should happen at 7pm not 11pm.

For the record: it is not possible, at this juncture, to officially withdraw or to remove a name from the #aras25 ballot paper.

Jim Gavinโ€™s name will remain on the ballot for Friday 24th, merely with no campaign behind it.

Dear merciful Lord, if you exist please direct your mythical sky fairy magic towards the Fianna Fail back bench so that they absolutely feckin' RIOT #aras25

Do we think it was the Americans confusing him with Gavin Newsom that was the last straw for Jim Gavin #รras25

05.10.2025 22:24 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 25    ๐Ÿ” 5    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

In Ireland, instead of "Diva Down" we say "Gavin Gone" and I think that's beautiful.

It will be intresting to see who still votes for Jim Gavin due to not knowing he quit and his name still being on the offical ballot.

So let me get this straight ... Jim Gavin could theoretically still be elected President ... against his will?

The urge for mischief is strong here

Anne-Marie, the urge I have to vote for him for the craic, I am CONSUMED with it! Can you imagine? Let's all do it ...NO! Stop! We must resist!

Apparently that can't be done neither can he actually withdraw. His name is on it and stays on it. And seemingly will be counted? It'll be confusing at the count.
