Okay, starting today I'm posting an #A-ZGigChallenge, listing the best gigs I've been to, for each letter of the alphabet.

Anyone that wants to make their own is very welcome.

#MusicSky #LiveMusic
Thanks to #ArtistFave15 I have John Lennon on the brain this week - so I'm going with Nowhere Boy for #FridayFilmPicks

It's really good, with excellent acting performances across the board.

Read that again.

I see that Gene Hackman would've been 96 today, and it got me thinking of the brilliant The Conversation.

I haven't sat down to watch it for a good few years, so I will definitely get to it this weekend.

Just eleven billionaires in Ireland hold €46 billion between them.

That's the same amount of wealth as 66% of the population.

Join Rory and @patriciastephenson.bsky.social as they discuss this issue and more on A Different View / Súil Eile, available on YouTube now.

This is mad.

I wasn’t buzzing with Amorim, but I defs wouldn’t have sacked him.

It seems that Radcliff can’t work with anyone that disagrees with him.

What happened to ‘3 years’?

I really am worried about the next few years for Utd if this is the way it’s going to be managed
