I started up a newsletter this month where I’m planning to send little essays and thoughts as well as news and photos of my pets. The plan is to never do more than one a month, and maybe not even monthly. It’s fun, infrequent and free and you can read the first one below ✉️

I am not joking when I say that for the good of workers (but also people who want to go anywhere in December), we need to regulate what Christmas music can be played and at what volume. The unlicensed shit is HEINOUS and I fully believe it makes customers extra feral

It’s been a good run, but that’s it now. Off to Donnybrook to pour juice on all the children #latelatetoyshow
It’s Grinch themed, which means that if Michael Fry doesn’t turn up in full grag to perform Martha May at some point this evening, we will have to unplug RTE for good #LateLateToyShow

It's just not the #LateLateToyShow if a 9 year old doesn't sing with the voice of a 94 year old pub singer who looks like they're made out of turf.
