Literallly the only other person I know who likes Geese is my neighbour in Stoneybatter who sometimes comes to Bohs with me. Leave us alone, we are unique.

YES. I thought I’d invented this.

As soon as I heard about that fire I knew it was over

Thought we were just as good as them, if not better, which actually just makes it all the harder to take.

I’ve heard rave reviews for this one. Same with the others, and I don’t I could stomach them for more than twenty pages

Think I know exactly who you mean. Supposed to be someone who people who are into the kind of fiction I’m into will love, but I can’t abide him at all.

Crazy to hear "hey so for your own good you need to become dependent on our technology day to day. Especially women. Don't worry, it's free. Will is stay free? There's no time for questions, you're being left behind by your competitors who can't write their own emails anymore"

The details of the Irish census of 1926 show that the breadwinner in my house that year was a ‘Biscuit Operator.’ Since 2012, the house has been operated by a cat named Biscuit.

Rob and Simon. Remember you and Dan getting on well, perhaps sparkily. He’s in Berlin now, doing clever things with computers that I don’t understand. That’s lovely that you’re still close with Holly, we catch up now and again, she’s done a few murals round my way in Stoneybatter. A gem, indeed.

Helpfully, Holly P, who you might remember as one of the Greystones bunch, sent me this photo of our final day of school recently. Not a flattering picture, but I’m second from right.

Yes, would’ve been fifth year, I guess the 98/9 year. Thought it was you!

Breton sounds like someone from Connemara speaking Portuguese. By the way, I think we might have been in school together for a while. Did you do a year in EGS?

It does feel like you’re plugging some key lacunae here, as they say

Think it’s been twenty-five years, probably more. I recall general sub-Con Air vibes despite it being a year older and yes, remarkable enunciation from JT

Best performance since the last one against Rovers. Only scoring through a penalty when we made 23 chances, many of them very decent, tells the story of our season.

You know, a lot of people scoffed when smart phones were introduced. Even the internet itself was slow to be embraced. That's why it might take time for my new invention, injecting-compressed-but-still-alive-spiders-into-your-penis-with-an-airgun, to really catch on

Atrocious decision. The Rob Hennessy show, as ever.

A few episodes into the second season of Veep and I think I’ll give up on it. It’s a very thin rehash of The Thick of It with none of its rhythm or bite. More like a mean-spirited, sweary Parks and Rec, but still trying to be cutesy and soapy.

Yep, and it’s also public funding when a minister (or one of their lackeys) spends time writing a blurb for it.

Thank you!

Another Labrador here. I think I understand you so far, but, as we love to ask in the humanities, what’s at stake? Does this have some practical application I haven’t understood yet?

About to deliver a course of six lectures on Animal Farm and the existence of this movie has given me a lot of a lot to say in the final one on adaptations and afterlives

This “militant action,” aided by English fascist money and social media reach, struck at a time of confusion when the government and the Garda commissioner were on holidays. It was shut down through the army and has laid the groundwork for draconian suppression of future, actually-left-wing protest.

Define a splash. I think I want about 7% of the full drink to be milk, provided the tea is properly brewed, which means a minimum of 4 minutes if it’s a bag, 5-7 if loose leaf.

Pretty sure there was one around the Blackhall Place area in Dublin 7 for a while. They proved that most of the light breaking was ahead of an oncoming Luas going across the road and then took it away, unfathomably.

This is a key consequence of the past week: it’s socially divisive. There’s no way of saying it without sounding snobby, but a lot of it seems to come down to media literacy/consumption and ability to piece together who’s really behind this and what they want. This is not a cost of living protest.

If we want the gardai to clear the blockades at the refineries, we’re going to have to do the unthinkable: gently drape a Palestinian flag over one of the trucks
