Remember the days when some evening there’d be a documentary on BBC 2 on giraffes and whatever way it was scheduled everyone watched it and the next day in work we’d all be experts on giraffes.

Then I’d end up voting for an Irish flag.

Well that was helpful, I tried the Indo’s tool to find which presidential candidate agrees with me because I’m torn between too “perfectly cromulent” candidates. They both agree with 70% of my views. Grrr.

Even that breakout wasn’t the best version of the parody

The "mystery year" on @rtegold.bsky.social this morning was 1996, now they are playing some Alanis Morrisette and I am 14 again! And crying over my lost youth.

A real time bus information website, showing three cancelled buses in a row.

Guess I’m not getting home any time soon.

When that happens to us, the daughter’s money box always comes through!

I remember when we got a day off school for it.

I have no idea what my favourites were. All I know is I was singing tbe themesong to Ulysses 31 on the DART home so it must have been good.

Children of the sun, see your time has just begun. Searching for your way to adventure every day.
Every day and night, with the condor in flight
With all your friends in tow
You search for the cities of gold.

One for all and all for one can sound pretty corny. If you got a problem chum, think how it can be.

80 days around the world. Though we wont say a word. Before the ship is really back.

In every wish and dream and happy home. You will find the kingdom of the gnomes.

sitting here, realising how much I miss @leinsterrugby.bsky.social in the RDS. Lansndowne or Croke Park arent the same.

Beer fest at the RDS!

The day after my daughter turns 9!

My prize possession.

Sometimes, you can do everything right and still lose.

Stuck in a world of nostalgia, my life is all millennium 50ps, cartoons on TCC and Batman trading cards with rock hard bubblegum. Send Opal Fruits.

Well ChatGPT told me I was pretty!

Pulling out your phone to check for how long until the next bus, looking up and seeing it zoom past you.

Believe it, if you like!

Once I called a guy in work Hugh but his name was Ciarán. To cover up my mistake i started mispronouncing the word “you” as “Hugh”. Ciarán probably thought “ahhh he didn’t get my name wrong he just has a weird accent”.
Success!
Everyone else probably thought it was the first sign of brain damage.

I don't thankfully. But I do have the post grad work, demanding job and parenting!

I hear you.

Phew. What an ending. Come on the Lions.

The algorithm (tm) seems to have decided I’m a “Millennial” as I am getting tonnes of “nostalgic” ads for things I consider the kids being into.

A lot longer than five years ago, but I met my wife the day I moved back to Ireland from England in 2005, well to be exact 30mins after I moved back. Still in the airport.

Nooo way? Mine lived in the attic for a while. It’s now back on display. And increasing in size monthly!

@rickoshea.bsky.social still in my collection! Although not my original one, had it on tape back in the day.
