I learned tonight that "saddle" is a term old people use. Younger people just call them bicycle seats!

Eventually I got round to trying the Ethiopian takeaway on my way home from Spanish class. Top tip. Spicy tsbi is actually spicy.

The real question here is not whether the PM should resign, but how the system should be changed so this doesn't happen again. That's not as good at generating headlines though.

As a youth I heard someone talk about "The Robin Hood song" being great and was confused.

Apparently I was the silly one for not knowing it was a song that didn't mention Robin Hood in any shape or form and not one that did.

I can give you a referral link for a Tembo account. We'd both get £20 cashback from that.

Hopefully in an account that earns interest.

I love the highlands. My two hour bus trip which goes on a ferry costs £2 and is basically just a big car. “We don’t recognise you!” the driver says. I am now being made to introduce myself to the 4 other passengers.

Yes!

As a child (and also as an adult), I loved places like the Ulster Folk museum, but it seemed very different from the history we learned in school. (which I never liked)

Also, when watching history documentaries on TV, I'll often dismiss them if they are "a bit warry".

Found out from some old documents that my great grandfather and my great grandmother lived in the same postcodes as @therealspanglor.bsky.social and me before we got married.

They also got married in what would be my parish church, if I were into that sort of thing.

Wasn't he building his own PC a while ago? How did that go?

Looks like it would be useful for the types of screws used in laptops.

Got an email from Aer Lingus about all their new routes from Dublin to the US.

In an era where the number of people visiting the US is plummeting, I wonder if the number of Irish visitors increasing? Or maybe the number of Americans visiting Ireland is increasing?

I'd like to see what they'd come up with for the news.

Obviously we took back control, therefore we can still buy phones with non-replaceable batteries.

They can be used by patriots when standing in a long queue with their blue passports.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

As a non-native English speaker I must say Marlene’s list is a great showcase of how tricky English can be at times.

Counterpoint: no, it isn’t. Leo is in line with the traditional teaching of the church. Trump is a warmonger, corrupt, delights in humiliating others, and is blasphemous on a level that wouldn’t even occur to most people.

This isn’t hard.

#SpéirGhorm #SpéirGorm, I need your help. Does anyone know Damien Baxter who is flying to Biarritz from Dublin today to do the Camino Francés? He took my backpack by mistake at airport and I need to contact him urgently. Pls share this and help me find him!

Really good 🧵 thanks to @soapachu.bsky.social for the pointer.

I'm two months into my 48th year. My commiserations go out to you.

Imagine if we had journalists who covered this type of stuff.

☹️

To me it sounds better than DO Penedés.

Even I was aware of it and had a vague notion there was some level of quality associated with it.

Therefore they must be doing something right.

Anything goes then.

Do all the wedding day activities have televised rehearsals?

Didn't see any photos! 😄

Madge and Harold from Neighbours, with the text: Just letting you know, if you were born before 1982, you are now older than Madge Bishop when she joined Neighbours... Have a great day!

Today I learned, as I curled into a rotted husk.

She was 43. Harold was 47.

Has this been resolved yet?
