I have a BA in Criminology. I now work in a factory.

Proud father of two cats.

Bring Burger King back to Waterford.

Go out there today and enjoy yourself.

Hello all. I take it we are all spending our entire New Music Friday listening to DUG’s new album yes? YES?

I turned 30 years old yesterday.
I also decided to give up the vape this week.
Will coming back to Bluesky help me hold onto my youth? Will it replace the gaping nicotine shaped hole currently in my brain? Worth a try.

Hello Bluesky friends, it has been a while since I last said anything here. How about that new war breaking out? Isn’t it great to live in the year 2025? Anyway, here’s a shameless plug for the #banjo journey yet again! youtube.com/shorts/Y7GP_...

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all, from myself and my festive brother and sister.

Here’s the updated version for anyone who had a look on here at this yesterday, there’s still so much more I could add to it but I’m pretty happy with where it’s at so far. Will make all the driving this long weekend a bit easier anyway! ☘️🇮🇪

I like to make my own playlist on Spotify of Irish artists in the run up to Paddy’s Day that’s outside the usual stuff that gets thrown in by default (although I have some of those in there too!) Any recommendations or suggestions for it if you think I’m missing something? #speirgorm

Saw Mickey 17 last night, really enjoyed it! It’s no Parasite, but that’s obviously an extremely high bar set by that film. Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette gave real “I hate these characters with every fibre of my being they’re such amazing actors” kind of performances.

I can tell there’s decent drying outside when the cats sun themselves at the back door instead of looking for the fire in the sitting room to be turned on #speirgorm

I am back to share with you another step on my banjo learning journey. This one is called Cold Frosty Morning and I started learning it last month when it was still always cold and frosty in the mornings. Would appreciate a listen!

Landing a ticket on the Arsenal TX genuinely feels like landing an insane trick shot. Never gotten one this far out from a game, usually I get them morning of so delighted there’s no pressure travelling to the Emirates on Saturday. Just need them to make the trip worthwhile now!

The last one did pretty from just showing up on here so another shameless plug for the banjo journey. Actually started out with this one but my research indicates that it’s fairly quintessential. Take a look if you feel compelled! #banjo #speirgorm

Anyway, here’s (what I’ve been led to believe is the banjo equivalent of) Wonderwall.

Arteta deciding at 70’ today that he’s actually just playing IRL Ultimate Team and sticking Merino up top for him to get two goals.

Merino gets one more and Arsenal won’t sign a striker in the summer

Went out for a few pints yesterday for the first time since New Year’s for the Arsenal match. Christ I had forgotten how shit hangovers are. My 30s are going to suuuuuuuccccckkk
February 3, 2025 at 3:28 PM
I know these are still absolutely small fry numbers but I am absolutely astounded this has accumulated this many views since sharing on here. I’ve only been playing banjo for a little over a month! Crazy, but very appreciative of it all the same! Might do another one soon! #banjo #speirgorm
January 31, 2025 at 9:13 AM
Stick Nwaneri up top altogether?
January 29, 2025 at 8:45 PM
Why has a minute long YouTube Short video with no tags become my most viewed video on my entire 17 odd year old channel? It’s currently standing at a colossal 59 views. We’re hitting the big time now folks. #banjo #speirgorm

Another bullshit red card for Arsenal, but still winning anyway:

We didn’t fair too badly in the big wind all things considered. This piece of fence went down during the storm back in December so expected it wasn’t gonna make it through this one. We were blessed in Waterford, hopefully others around the country haven’t sustained too much damage either!

I know the red weather warning isn’t properly due until like 2am but FUCK ME that was one of the dodgiest drives back home I have ever had! And the big wind isn’t even here yet! If I have one bit of fence left out the back in the morning it will be a miracle

Finally got it to upload! This is about 30ish days into learning this style of playing banjo so I’m no expert at all and I’m only using online resources but I’m pretty proud of my progress so far!

I know I haven’t posted too much here the last while but a lot of my free time has been taken up by noodling on the banjo lately and I have been trying to share a video of that but Bluesky is refusing to let me show it to you! I’ll try again later I guess
January 20, 2025 at 1:32 PM
Hot take but I like it very much when Arsenal win
January 15, 2025 at 9:57 PM
It’s 4am, but I had a very good day today (mostly yesterday but some of this day already too). Started a new book, did some personal writing, listened to some new (to me) music, had a decent home cooked meal, played some more banjo. And, most importantly, DIDN’T GO TO WORK TODAY.

New year, new me.
