Fat frog definitely started in Ireland. I moved to Liverpool in 2005 and they seemed to only be taking off there then, a few years after Ireland, and it was usually Irish people you'd see buying them. I remember explaining what was in them to non-scousers a few times so not well known outside L'pool
The ice pops were 80s and 90s, then they discontinued them but brought them back a few times for summer months, definitely in 2001 and maybe later. Unilever owned HB and moved to harmonise their ice pops in different countries under the heartbrand - fat frog was what they called a 'local favourite'

Fat Frogs, the ice pops, were only sold in Ireland
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Good news for local residents
These drone deliveries are ruining community life in Dublin 15, a constant noise nuisance, particularly upsetting for children with sensory issues. m.independent.ie/regionals/du...
Who the hell are the simpsons? Sunday Independent 1991. @simpsonsquotes.bsky.social
Doing some work on the house and found this old Sunday Independent buried behind the fireplace. From February 1991, 6pm-9pm, this is the Sunday evening line-up I remember from childhood on @rte.ie 1.
These drones fly over my house all the time in dublin 15. They are very noisy, can no longer enjoy sitting in the garden due to the constant noise, far worse than a fridge. I dread to think what it will be like if they keep expanding
A poor article John. No mention at all of the noise nuisance from these drones constantly flying over people's houses and gardens. If they continue to expand it will be intolerable for residents, many of whom in D15 are already fed up with these drones.
Happy new year! Tesco wasting no time moving on to the next (money making) holiday....
This is brilliant
Good luck with the survey. Another piece of data that might be interesting to capture in some way is how many qualified archivists/records managers in Ireland no longer work in the sector and why they left.
