I'm thinking of getting a little secondhand e-reader for my holidays because carrying the amount of books I do be going through in the bag and having to decide whether to abandon them or lose the suitcase space is killing me

Weighing up whether this explains the droves of Americans who were fighting me about the meaning of the word buzzard that time I saw a buzzard
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

The worst friends I've ever had in my life were the type of people who swear up and down that they're the most loyal person you'll ever meet, they'd move mountains for a friend, they'd fight anyone for a friend isn't that funny

I think one useful mantra in life is "I am a normal woman".
For example, why would I spend €40k on a wedding, I am a normal woman. Why would I rent out a castle, I am a normal woman. What do I need botox for, I am a normal woman. I won't need to still look 30 when I'm 50, sure I'm a normal woman.

My dad once wore a leather jacket to the parent teacher meeting and a kid in my class goes "did youse see Horatio Kane coming in earlier"
I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.

All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Happy to be of service. I once got into a taxi in Dublin wearing a cool new outfit. I was nervous about deviating from the norm but did it anyway.

The taxi driver was on the phone when I got in. First thing he did was finish his phone call saying "I have to go, this fella's wearing dungarees"

I never thought I would see the day when Ireland would have a female president who isn't called Mary. This is a great day for women everywhere who aren't called Mary!

Going back to doing relatively tiny comics in a sketchbook to put some much needed oil in the creative gears again.
