I've made so many new memories and friends for life. I definitely won't wait another 20 years before I'm in a SONG production again!
Now I need to catch up on sleep and feel sad that I can't wear the Khashoggi coat on a daily basis.
Commander Khashoggi, signing off.

Who knew that being so bad could feel so good?
"We Will Rock You" has come to an end and we definitely rocked An Táin Theatre. It was the greatest honour to play Khashoggi and to be a part of such a wonderful cast.
You can probably support the working class and demand support for people who are struggling because of capitalist inequality and also not pretend massively bigoted rhetoric and action isn't happening or being Trojan-horsed in under the guise of taking down those in power, by the way. Just a thought.
I have woken up to find that not only the clocks have gone forward, but we have advanced into the timeline where this is now a thing? What is going on?!
I wasn't expecting to hear "Óró Sé do Bheatha Bhaile" on the first episode of #SNLUK but it was greatly appreciated. Great to see sketch comedy on such a huge platform!
Inniu, shiúil mé sa mhórshiúil agus fuair mé seaicéad saor in aisce. Níl sé sin go dona do mo chéad Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Éirinn ó 2020. Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona daoibh go léir! 🇮🇪
Representing your country at an international event is political. The reason for the contest's existence, bringing people together through music, is political. Eurovision, like everything else in life, is political. The only way it can be non-political is if it doesn't exist.
We're back and better than ever!
SEI UN MITO, SEI UN MITO PER ME #Sanremo2026
You take that back right now!
THEY'RE WEARING THE CURLING TROUSERS!!! #WinterOlympics2026 #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026
Those that claim we should boycott Eurovision but not boycott the Nations League have a whiff of homophobia and exceptionalism about them. Opposition to genocide doesn’t stop where our comfort begins
It was never a good idea in the first place tbh.
Sign of a good musical rehearsal: Everyone bursts into "Hit Me Baby One More Time" at the end of it.
LAURA PAUSINI 😍😍😍 #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortina2026

Today was the end of an era. Ina, you were the boss in every sense of the word, the most gifted painter, writer and storyteller, the inventor of great turns of phrase and the best grandmother I could ask for. I promise to always stay with my friends.
Slán leat, a Uachtarán.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes! Glad to have made another trip around the sun and to now have as many years as Ireland had counties.
I went to the Algarve many times with my family over the years and I always thought that it was strikingly similar to my county, especially the climate of course!
Watching #SelecțiaNațională was like seeing what Eurovision should and could stand for, people coming together to have a good time and not having to be filled with existential dread about a certain country ruining it for their own benefit.
That year off has already done Moldova the world of good. This is like a completely different broadcaster! #SelecțiaNatională2026
Exciting and all none of the Brits will live up to Paudie. #TheTraitors
Thank you 2025 for showing me that there are things worth sticking around for. I believe in the future again. Here's to a 2026 full of adventure and happiness.
Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh go léir!
Saudade, saudade, it never truly goes away. I miss you, granddad. #ESC250
Lejla, my all-time favourite Eurovision song. Still as magical as the first time I heard it. #ESC250
France should have won in 1991. Fight me, Sweden. #ESC250
And that's my second song on the list. 🇱🇻 #ESC250
Once again, Telemóveis was ahead of its time and was robbed. #ESC250
