I’m being stereotypical, granted. But dining solo in my hotel I’ve noted a table forming stage left. Beautiful person after beautiful person arriving. Then they were joined by this red-haired fella in a sports jacket with creased trousers and brown shoes. You don’t have to loom far for the Irish 😊

It’s so sad to read that @unamullally.bsky.social & her wife still face bigotry in Ireland. It’s awful that our long alphabet of progress (abortion, contraception, divorce, gay marriage) has ground to a hault. This govt seriously lacks ambition in this space.

1. I am actually fine, don’t worry
2. I’ll be fine in a minute, but please go away because you’re not helping
3. I've never been so cross
4. I think I’ve just broken my leg
5. My whole life has collapsed
