Friday's weather forecast is looking pretty rough for most of the island of Ireland. Still, nice to see that our friends in the North seemingly won't face the full Status Red ravages of #StormEowyn.

#Everton are riddled with contradictions. Their team tonight includes Young, who is ancient, and Gueye, who has previously avoided matches where he would have had to wear an LGBT 🌈symbol. Plus Keane whose eagerness mustn't have impressed his new boss much on the training ground as he's on the bench.

By the end of the week I expect there to be 'Cork people have 123 different words for snow' pieces running in the media.

This NCT 🚘car test waiting room is one of the most anxious-looking places I've ever been as ashen-faced drivers await the worst of the diagnosis from the man with the clipboard 📋. They should have a roaming therapy cat for people to stroke.

Drove back to Cork this afternoon and think we may have stumbled upon the source of all that #sneachta, off the motorway before Portlaoise. Presumably Met Eireann have issued the chimney stack in question with a license.

There needs to be a collage of clips of the few seconds in each episode of Columbo where the villain who thought he'd gotten away with literal murder realises "this pesky bumbling scruffy🥼detective is actually onto and reeling me in!". The moment their faces go from confident smarm to sudden alarm.
