I write a bit.

The Irish papers' football coverage in a nutshell: "Our u/21s were hammered 4-0 by Andorra yestrday but not to worry, here's yet another in-depth rehashing of that Manchester United story we keep running and running and..."

Sad that this leak appears to have come from the office of Minister Jim O'Callaghan (FF).

FG had seemed most likely to start bashing* immigrants.

Maybe FF will start punching down too after their recemt election fuck-up?

(*Metaphorically, of course. They're not thugs. They just incite thugs).

I'd agree with that assessment, Gilian. The whole Liverpool are a left-wing club thing is a new phenomenon too.

Firstly, I have never been to Wimbledon in my life. Secondly, my wife's pet name for me is entirely a personal matter.
No further questions, please.

Inspirational leadership from Limerick Council's
Priomh-Comhairle, Dan McSweeney, chipping in on a multi-million euro one year-old controversy.
Oops! My bad. Outgoing priomh-comhairle.

Irish travel agents are disingenuous when blaming global warming for a drop in numbers travelling to Spain & Greece with not a word about those destinations having ramped up their prices. Quite simply, the travelling public know they will get more for their euro elsewhere.

Hear ye! Hear ye!
Fair warning that this little gem of a movie is on Film 4 at 11am this Wednesday.
That is all. As you were. Carry on.

I'm a long time out of the Rugby bubble but when the chief of the URC is excusing/ rationalising unsporting behaviour because it drives increased clicks, the game is, not to put too fine a point on it, fucked.

Good thing there's a sketch artist at the P Diddy trial. Otherwise, we'd never know what he looks like.

I got three yolks out of two eggs this morning. Bet they won't be reporting that on any if their MSM fake news channels.

The devil had an Irish mammy. She used to say:

I don't know who did this but that applicant is my hero.

Wasn't it very unfair how Billy Joel had to keep defending himself..? Your man from The Prodigy had already admitted to starting the fire.

The best thing to dunk in tea isn't even a biscuit.👇
Controversial, I know, but what can I say? I guess this makes me like one of those 1970s maverick cops who plays by his own rules.

Every so often, I watch It Happened One Night.
Because I like rom-coms and it's still the best one.
