It’s not that I can predict the future. It’s that our lazy and classist commentariat are so lazy and classist that anyone can predict the word vomit they’re going to spew next.

He looks like the bloke you complain to at the golf club because your gin and tonic had too much tonic. And he’ll say, ‘We’ll do better next time, sir.’ 😆

The rugged coastline that stretches between Tramore and Dungarvan in Waterford is known as The Copper Coast due to the extensive copper mining industry that thrived in the 19th century.

There’s an unhealthy tan on Jack Grealish , like he’s been scooped up of a raft in the Indian ocean after living on seagull blood for five months 🤣

This was an extremely fun and interesting discussion to record on my bank holiday Monday.

We got deep into the weeds on some of these issues in a way that I don't often get the opportunity to in the media. Give it a listen if you're not sick of listening to me harping on about thon transgenders

The death of yet another breeding white-tailed eagle from suspected poisoning is just heart rending.

But despite continued losses, this remains the most successful reintroduction project ever undertaken so far, and one of the best things ever done for nature, in Ireland.

“Male Radiohead fans”

Ignoring the pernicious sexism.. which is awful, this sort of argument isn’t worth replying to is it?
Congratulations on SPECTACULARLY proving my point about male Radiohead fans (see how you presumed I wasn’t a fan and then gave a wee quiz). Honest to god, 10/10, no notes. Thanks for providing an up to date worked example of how angry and abusive the type get when *remotely* challenged too👌🏼

Numa Pompilis..on possibly New Years at the end of March ..looked at the 10-month year and goes ‘ya’kno what this needs… more filler,slap another 2 months on that’

Poor Palladius was probably out doing all the hard work, baptising people in a swamps, answering the door to bards, only for history to go.

If a wolf killed my pet,I’d be devastated too—but I wouldn’t start a campaign to arm farmers with machine guns. I’d just get a bigger f***ing fence.

And ‘actively managing wolf populations.’ What does that even mean? Listen, Mr. Wolf, we really need you to consider a career change,ya try veganism?!
In some European regions, wolf packs have become a real danger especially for livestock.

Today, we are proposing a change of EU law that will help local authorities to actively manage wolf populations while protecting both biodiversity and our rural livelihoods.

Hmm, not sure about that

Brother in law watched one of these “puppies” on his farm stare at a 18 month old male going around ‘his herd’ of cows, rising on them but far too young to do any riding!

This extremely tame bull went over.. rose up on its back legs, and for 5 mins pounded him to death.😱
Coming from someone who's worked with cattle, they are basically giant puppies.

Hi Dermot, in terms of being able to investigate there are resources like the Historic Environment Viewer where you can see what has been recorded there.

I put together a guide on how to learn more about your local monuments through the KnowYour5k project:
