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?

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

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

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.

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

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!

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!

Update: Can’t tell if he’s a fan or REALLY hates it. Usually runs for the hills when I play guitar (and I kept that up well beyond 16!) so I think he likes it. Or just a Woody Guthrie fan. Nice to have an audience either way, even if he does totally put me off.

When I was 16 I took lessons for Irish 4 string tenor banjo. Was gifted great granddad’s 5 string to keep it up. Completely different instrument, so never bothered with it. Luke Kelly had the same type though, so if it’s good enough for him…
Trying out clawhammer style and really enjoying it so far.

I saw The Scratch and DUG the other night! I love Irish music so much! I hope to see so much more of it in 2025! My New Year’s resolution is to contribute more to Irish music myself (but we’ll see, have to navigate the hangover tomorrow first.)

Nightmare Before Christmas is my favourite film. Not favourite Halloween movie, not favourite Christmas movie. Favourite, full stop. I remember renting it from my uncle’s video shop when I was about 5 or 6 and it was my first “holy shit movies are pieces of art” moment, been in love ever since. 🎄🎃💀

Postman dropped off one of my favourite records of the year today! However, I also bought the tour variant of it when I saw Magdalena Bay back in November! But I don’t care! Keeping both! Happy belated birthday to me!

Saw Kneecap last night. Considering they’re grieving, it really was a stunning show and such a beautiful celebration of a life lived in service of the Irish language. The largest Irish language gig in Belfast’s history. I was in tears at the end. An-mhaith ar fad. 🎵🇮🇪

Me last year after we spent a little extra to get a somewhat decent tree:

It’ll pay for itself after 5 or 6 years! It’s not like Christmas trees get massive amounts of wear and tear…

Joy, our brazen new cat, after her daily assault on said tree for the past three weeks:

So now that the darts world championship is on, what would be your darts nickname and what song are you walking out to?

Gun to my head today, I’m calling myself “The Beaver” just so I can walk out to this.

My friends want me to get Project Zomboid so we can get in some quality online multiplayer time like the glory days during COVID. However, unfortunately for them I have discovered a new bing bing numbers go brrrr game that might end up taking all my time instead…
