I was out with school mates last year, reminiscing about nights out when we were 16-18 (this being the time when 16 & 17 year olds could still get served). And it is striking, in hindsight, just how much casual violence there was on display.

Seriously, Blue Sky…give us notifications. I need to see when my folks post. That’s what made the old Twitter so useful: I didn’t have to spend my day online. I was notified when my friends (or foes) posted. It’s also how I kept up with news.

Excellent news and a badly badly needed shot in the arm for the city. Am glad the Examiner aren’t letting the Gouldings planning disaster thing go - disappointing if unsurprising that the Taoiseach in waiting has nothing to say on the matter.
