...a shame since it tainted what was otherwise a really positive announcement from them otherwise which gave us a lot more to look forward to. I'll take the Caspian, I'll take the Operations update (pending how it's implemented) and the HIP 87621 story, but they can keep their fifty grand bauble.

Looking forward to seeing one, but certainly not buying one myself at that eye watering price. I still have a bit of "sticker shock" from when they announced it, and while I'm glad they walked it back I feel there's an element of "we're not sorry we did it, we're sorry we got called out" by Fdev...

The Interdependence trilogy for sure. Hatide is very vocal about some of her struggles.

On the way to Kinsale as we speak!!!!!!!!!

Hilariously, “no taste” us how sensible people refer to coddle. How someone could look at a pure, humble sausage and think to themselves “Yanno wha’ Oi’m gonna boyal dose dere to feck wi’ some spoods an’ kerrots for de dinner” is beyond us normals! 😂

...and in doing so, we failed them. A generation of humanity so dependent on content that's no longer than 30 seconds because, well, who has time for anything longer. Bookshops closing by the day, replaced with vape shops and phone repair places. Intelligent cinema replaced with CGI laden silliness.

...a very worrying trend. Friends of mine who have older kids (mine is 10) have teens incapable of self sufficiency. I work with twentysomethings who require everything be spoon fed to them, with no ability to work independently. I fear my generation swore we'd never "subject them" to what we had to

Sorry, didn't read that, just skimmed throu.... JUST KIDDING!

It's depressing. And terrifying. I commute to work on trains full of children staring at their phones. When they get off, they shuffle like zombies, still engrossed in their screens. They seemingly rely on ChatGPT for everything. Its...

Bikes can be fixed a lot easier than people! Glad you're (mostly) alright, and hopefully fully alright quickly.

True enough, but not mentally right is neither here nor there with him. Lost both my mam and dad to cancer, so to see this fella sticking ipod cables up his shnoz and crying poor and weaponising cancer to do it makes me sick. Deserves his jail time - but Kyle deserves it every bit as much!

Ahh but Gar you have to remember - one is a FORMER GAA player, who's no more use to his county and annoyed some rich men, whereas the other is the darling boy of other rich man JP McManus and still an active player. Once poor ikkle Kyle is retired, he'll be tossed aside as well.

The absolute ONLY milk in first situation that’s acceptable is when the tea is coming from a teapot and is therefore already brewed and even THEN only for yourself and you BETTER be confident of your initial milk pour. (My dad swore he could tell the difference between milk after tea and hated it!)

Toss in some injuries, and the protracted situation with Isak, and you have us where we are now.

This is NOT to say Slot's not getting things wrong. He absolutely is, and needs to correct them. But fuck me lads, after WINNING THE LEAGUE IN HIS FIRST SEASON, do we not owe him some patience to do it?

Same. Growing up in a row house in poverty in Ireland, I never thought I'd be driving over the Golden Gate regularly. And then I decided to move back, and I'm now questioning everything!
