I love Stanley, I really do, & I’m enjoying his food tour of Italy, but please Stanley, please, stop featuring offal. My mum used to cook tripe & the look, smell & thought of it & other offal makes me queasy. I know there’s better food in Italy than intestines etc.

Sitting on my sofa eating a sandwich and drinking tea while watching the European Gymnastics.
Me: “well that wasn’t a very smooth high bar routine”
Also Me: can’t touch my toes without making weird noises.

Has anyone else noticed the ubiquitous use of “two times” rather than “twice” in adverts? As in “…lasts two times as long” or “…two times stronger” or “two times the cleaning power”. Do advertisers now think we are all too stupid to understand the word “twice”? #adverts #TV #advertisers #stupid

On a random note, the Tesla logo looks remarkably like an IUD. Do you think Ego even knows what one is? I’d love it if it was designed by a woman…but he doesn’t like women, so probably not. #Tesla #DesignFails #Musk

Winston Churchill at the White House in 1941, he’s not wearing a suit…because he’s at war. Spot any similarities? Bet the President didn’t care how he was dressed or accuse him of being disrespectful. But I guess that was a “real” President. #Ukraine #Zelenskyy

Ireland try…yay! But yet again Ireland going for the ugliest kit of the six nations…their away kit looks like a child has scribbled on the front with a green marker. #SixNations #Ireland #IRFU

2 things were demonstrated yesterday
1. I will talk to anyone (my kids will attest to this)
2. Ireland is a very small country.
I was on a train last evening with my son, returning from Dublin. I got chatting to a man who was sitting at the same train table as us. 🧵1 #Ireland #Dublin #Connections

Watching #AnimalsDecoded on #SkyNature and I’m highly amused that one of the scientists is called Anton Baotic. Is it just me or were his parents a bit cruel towards him?

And while I’m thinking of #TheTraitors how has no one worked out that Joe gets it wrong pretty much every single time? (Can’t remember if he voted for Linda). And I know he’s not a traitor, but how has his name never come up at the round table?

I’m sure it’s much easier when you’re sitting at home, but #TheTraitors are ignoring some very obvious points. Like how come none of them have realised that the death match was purely a game of chance and that no traitors could risk being in it, so Alexander and Leon must be faithfuls.

Watching #OnlyConnect either makes me feel incredibly stupid when I get nothing right, or amazingly intelligent when I can answer more than one question. It’s such a weird quiz it’s brilliant.

Just had an idea… what if they did a #TheTraitors and #Squidgames crossover, where the contestants really were murdered and the round table chose people to be shot. Oh alright, I’m not nuts, it just made my daughter laugh when I suggested it. By the way we’re watching Squidgames at the moment.

I’m #blocking a lot lately. Some of my criteria.
If you have loads of followers but no posts,
have no bio,
all your posts are reposts,
you are half naked in your pics,
you claim to be high ranking professional, with no proof.
Then if I do accept you and you immediately DM despite my warning.

The new series of #TheTraitors is so interesting, watching them all inventing reasons to vote someone off, and being wrong all the time. Maybe the new guy will be able to analyse things a bit better. But then if he shows any intelligence they’ll probably vote him off.

Happy Nollaig na mBan. This is an Irish feast day which means Women’s Christmas. It is a day to celebrate all the strong wonderful women in your life. Traditionally women had a day of rest after Christmas when everyone looked after them for a change. It also falls on Epiphany, so a double feast day.

What a 2 weeks I’ve had. Was called for cancer surgery on 20th Dec and was allowed home on the 23rd. It’s my second bout in 3 years, but they’re hoping this time I won’t need chemo. We’ll see. A v quiet Christmas and New Year and I’m starting to feel human again. Here’s to 2025 #Cancer #CancerSucks

#TheGreatPotteryThrowdown is a lovely way to start the new year. In the traditional of Bake Off and Sewing Bee, it has nice, caring, friendly people making lovely things. There’s also the added bonus of a judge who is so passionate that beautiful pottery makes him cry. Love it ❤️

I seem to have suddenly become irresistible to men. Every day new male followers but sadly I’m sure they’re all #ScamAccounts so blocked. I block if there’s no bio, or if it’s all airy fairy stuff, if there’re lots of silver fox pics, all claiming to be surgeons etc & no real posts. Hint, I’m smart!

My daughter had a theory a couple of weeks ago that Ian is the male equivalent of a black widow, and the more we see of him the more I’m wondering if she’s on to something. There’s something odd about him. Loving S2 of the wonderful #BadSisters

The dances tonight on #Strictly have all been fab & really worthy of the final. But I keep returning to the fact that 3 finalists have had prior dance experience of some sort, while 1 can’t even see what a dance looks like. If Chris wins it won’t be out of sympathy it’ll be out of awe & admiration.
