Next thing I knew, I woken by a constant screaming:
Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Ah-choo!

Think I hit the sneeze button by mistake.

(Not even a bit sorry).

So many of the replies to this are pure and distilled 100% proof copium.

Brilliant.

This description could be the opening line of a Colson Whitehead novel.

There's a window, isn't there?

Wake up about 15 minutes before the alarm clock sounds and you feel rested and healthy.
Wake up an hour earlier, and you're all restless and cheated.

That's it for today. Neither perceptive nor entertaining, I know. But look, this app is free. Whattaya expect?

Warching the Pedo-in-Chief try to Costanza his way out of starting a war is quite the thing...

I regret to inform you, the young people are now up to speed.

I'd do anything for my children, I would.
But if that Net Zero Brigade think I'm going to endure non-detachable bottle caps, oddly-shaped teabags and fawkin' paper straws.. just so my children might live on a planet that's not actively trying to kill them, they can bloody well think again.

The North Star Bar in Limerick used to field a side called, North Star Belgrade.

So long as Mr. I Haven"t Actually Been Listening But I Will Now Ask 99 Longwinded And Only Vaguely Related Questions still gets to do his thing, just as everybody else wants to go home, we should be fine.

Highly recommemded

Apparently.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

I'd like to inform the world that I enjoyed this book.

Oh, my. Only a couple of pages into this memoir but this is simply gorgeous...

Well said, that man.

Profiling the American Secretary of War for the New Yorker was a genuinely humbling experience. Hard to believe this is my job sometimes.

Superb as always.
The beard line is an absolute chef's kiss moment.

I know its a long shot but to rub salt into the wounds of yesterday my youngest left his scarf somewhere at the match yesterday. Got a load of badges on from this seasons Home games. Hes gutted.
Any reposts appreciated in the hope it might be recovered.

"... it happens all the time in the classes I teach..." ... Oh, please, yes. Lke a card from the bottom of the deck. So easy, so simple, so, so good. One line. You know who she is and you don't even realise you have been told.
Enviably/ annoyingly perfect writing.
Thanks for sharing.

It's always fun when good actors knowingly ham it up. Gas too how it even listed many of the works it was paying loving homage to.
I know some see the Mystery genre as a challenge/ battle of wits & I get why they'd feel cheated but, purely as a bit of crack, I was well entertained.
