The teeniest of teeny complaints. I wish things like nice bread bins, cookie jars, tea caddies etc didn't always have Bread, Cookies and Tea written on them. Seems redundant and they are useful for so many other things.

Ireland Thinks poll. Why are kids cycling less? Um, the answer I want to give isn't there.

Now and then for no special reason I watch this. Amazing choreography (Bob Fosse) and an extraordinary talent. But I only learned today that JFK asked Sammy Davis Jr not to attend his inauguration because seeing a black man with a white wife would offend southerners. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKSA...

I'm long past the hen stage but as someone from a town where visiting weekend hen/stag parties are pretty much a core industry, this trend cannot come soon enough.

I'm just within earshot of a series of summer camps that run though July/August. From what I can hear their primary purpose seems to be to teach kids to chant Uggy uggy uggy etc. They practice it diligently, all day, every day.

David, I had no idea you were related. I am really sorry, impossible to believe. Look after yourself.

🎶LOW LIE THE FIELDS OF ATHENRY🎶 Top volume. Permissible in this emergency situation only.

He is being asked "when did you stop beating your wife" type questions. Assuming guilt and starting from there means the questions are unanswerable.

What drives me absolutely mad, is that gobshite billionaires will do anything to avoid contributing fairly, offshoring accounts etc, and then still get column inches to spout shite about how society needs to be fixed.

Long way from winning at the Young Scientist exhibition. Once upon a time it was possible to be proud of what these brothers were doing. Now they're just typical selfish and myopic tech billionaires.

I'll never understand how some random guy from Boston is repeatedly sought out by Irish media as a talking head, to bestow his predictable and banal opinions upon us.

Not every day you see a rat joining a sinking ship..

I mean, it just means go away! It's well understood though seldom used as an expression here in Ireland. It doesn't come from the Irish Language, very much associated with the North of England.

I think much more an English than an Irish expression.

Oh we've known him a while!

Stopped for a sausage on the way to the train and bumped into a friend.

Good grief, this hits home.

I am not. It's people splashing water about and because it's water never thinking to wipe it away. We have very hard water, it stains.

Oh I know how to clean it, I'm an expert I do it so often! Because no matter how it's done it seems like the next time you pass by it's stained again.

It's a completely thankless task.
