Heather Humphreys is simply, flatly wrong about this. And I'm gonna forever side-eye all the FG associates I know at the Bar (which is A LOT of people) if they don't come out strongly against this really pernicious undermining of the profession.
These new carvings on Leinster Road, Rathmines are really lovely.
Great excuse for not replying to emails though.
Business idea: lightbulbs but the make and model will be written on the bulb itself rather than the box (which went into the bin years ago) so when it blows you can order a new one without having to guess what it is.
The Thunders mince pies you bought me a few years ago was a delicious treat.
Packed Northumberland beach today.
This idea that having a driving licence is only necessary for commercial drivers is a new one, but really spreading amongst the Sovereign Citizens.
He didn't take a test or get a tax disc: "As is my right as a Sovereign Living Man I did not volunteer for such a tax as when I looked into this tax I discovered that it is in fact a licence for a mechanically propelled vehicle which would confirm me as a driver in commerce"
New Sovereign Citizen case: "I am a Sovereign Living Man, Ever Present from Fertilisation until Last Breath, and that I do not identify as a Person under section 41 of the Road Traffic Act."
Gutsy defence.
Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street.
Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist.
Support local, not the billionaires.
I've been to Nice
And the isle of Greece
When I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo

The court heard he was a trainee journalist on a course, did freelance work with sporadic income, totalling about €500 a year, and relied on social welfare
Amazing plot idea: man finds and reads his wife’s diary in which she claims she will kill him. Wanting to know how and when he will be killed, he reads on. On the last page, these questions are answered: the diary is poisoned. He dies. The diary is written in disappearing ink. Murder never suspected
TDs complaining about the lack of speaking time. Why not double the hours the Dáil sits so they could speak all they want?
Happy Monday
“silent witness” themed party
Business idea: someone in south Dublin should set up a sauna / ice bath and then absolutely bombard everyone with Instagram adverts every 2 seconds for ever.
Poor Derek. He has such a brilliant face, and you’re great dog-dads.
I haven’t even looked at it for months
Deleting Twitter. Which is best: here or Threads?
This is brilliant. Haunting.
Drafting a precautionary High Court summons for personal injuries sustained as a result of a badly-executed election day hoist.
Maybe for @electionlit.bsky.social - who is Ireland’s least successful candidate? ie most elections contested and least votes gained? John Keigher has been standing for years at any election in Dublin. Never produces a manifesto and gets a handful each time.
Hashtag brisk.
Zero dogs though.
For my first post here, here’s a plant.
Aww!
