I’m glad Monaghan’s long war with Cavan has ended in a Farney victory.

Mongnan go Brách!

Snip off a phone screen indicating that the New York Mets have a won a game.

Please tell me my phone's not lying... #Mets

I’m a big fan of ‘lumbering centre half starts running upfield with the ball and gets more confused the closer he gets to the opposition’s box’. You don’t see it so much anymore because even lumbering centre halves are now decent on the ball. Shame really.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

21.00 GAVIN & STASI The course of true-love continues to be bumpy as the couple argue over weekend plans. He wants a quiet night in with a takeaway and a takeaway and a DVD, whereas she wants to round up any political dissidents and subject them to intimidation and torture to crush dissent. Warning, this programme contains several distressing scenes of James Corden.

Friday! New CEEFAUX! Exclamation marks!

In my younger, stronger days I also provided a useful height boost for shorter women at gigs. But only for a few moments - it wouldn't be fair for people stuck behind a combined 8 feet of persons.

The Mets score 2 runs in one game? We're back baby!

This is what I want from artists vs that's what I don't want from a senior emergency management official.

Thomas Midgley Jr reaching from the grave again.

English bitter for me.

Nut brown in colour, not over 4%, not ice cold, and not flavoured to the point where every orifice puckers from the shock.

I remember when proper football managers like Ron Saunders and Brian Clough would sit in the dugout with their arms folded and direct players with raised eyebrows and glares, not dancing around like hyperactive toddlers.

#ARSBOU

A crowd of people in front of a long white building, the Coronado Hotel. There is a cupola at one end with a red roof. There is a boardwalk in the foreground and a yellow and white VW combi in the middle ground. The hotel was famously used as a location for the film Some Like It Hot.

Expecting to see Daphne and Josephine in the crowd.

I think there were a couple of deeper currents; the Conservative fear of losing control over monetary policy that crystallised around Maastricht and the wealthy's fear of the EU tightening policy on UK tax havens.

“Is he still president?”

“Yes.”

“Shut the door, we’re going back up.”

FFS USA. The metric system is not that hard.

That was magnificent! #Artemis #NASA

The main fear for the Artemis re-entry is how the orange bag of shite president will insert himself and ruin it for everyone.

Snip of the Premier League showing Tottenham Hotspur in the relegation zone. Ha ha.

I have a suspicion that Spurs will stay up. But for the moment I am enjoying this…

The Maple Leafs will win the Stanley Cup in my lifetime.

(I'm gonna live for ever.)

Can't disagree.

So much.

My skin colour is blue-grey in winter and crimson in summer. Even walking into a brightly lit room causes me to flinch.

That Dracula was written by a fellow Irish person is unsurprising.

I know right. Aguero was a hell of a player.

In tomorrow’s paper-

Peter Van Onselen: “Who among us hasn’t indulged in a little light war criming?”

‘I don’t understand’: Rinehart lashes out over Ben Roberts-Smith’s arrest — The Age Australia’s richest person, and long-time supporter of Roberts-Smith, is standing by the disgraced Victoria Cross recipient after his arrest on Tuesday.

When all the worst people are defending you, you might have a problem.

On the other hand, this is some far right wing, culture war bullshit so we might all have a problem.

Green fruit in a blue bowl on a brown wooden table.

There's a nice crop of feijoas on the tree in the back lane. I grabbed some before every New Zealander in a kilometre radius strips the tree.
