"Quiet, piggy!" In the current climate it's very easy to forget this level of nastiness from a person in his position should be unconscionable. What a pathetic boor he is.

New stuff clearly too sanitised, like myself she prefers the older, edgier stuff like "James fucks around and finds out" 😏

The year is 2025 in the ever-blighted 6 most northern-easterly counties of Ireland and you can only boil with rage over one of two things: 1. Words projected by a hip-hop group at a gig(s) 2. Israel indiscriminating killing a child in Gaza every 45 minutes Choose wisely.

My opinion is based on what you've broadcast to the public domain and you don't decide what opinion I'm entitled to hold. If it wasn't for Irish Nationalism, there would be no Irish Tricolour yet you declare all nationalists cowards while displaying the flag as part of your identity. 🤦🏻‍♂️

And, of course, the compare and contrast exercise with north of the border is truly depressing. Latest cycling infra in Belfast is a line of paint on the side of a dual carriageway whereas in Louth, they’re building an elevated cycle path on stilts along the shore line. 🫠

Took the family cycling on the new Carlingford to Omeath greenway yesterday and once again marvelled why Ireland is not blanketed with greenways. That pic was probably the only time there was no else in the shot. Walkers, cyclists, young and old - enjoying fresh air, getting exercise.

I suggest you focus less on my reading skills and more on your writing skills. If 6.4 is your high water mark, it's now clear why you're so touchy about AI.

Look - I get it but still ... countries spending significantly less on helping people so everyone can spend significantly more on harming people is a fucking tragic reflection on all of humanity in this little sliver of time that we're all lucky enough to be here. 🫠

Yet to find a better form of meditation than litter picking. Two bags of shite lifted off the Lagan Towpath this morning. 40% dog poop bags, 40% Boost Energy bottles, 10% Harp cans and 10% other. #KeepIrelandBeautiful

What's even more egregious is that every Elizabeth Line roundel includes the word "Line" when none of the others do. Also, I'm sorry if you didn't previously notice this as how you can never unsee it. 🫠

Looks like the first struggling farmers have made it to Westminster, limping over the line in their old, decrepit tractors... held together spit and baler twine. Whereth the humanity?

Took me nearly a week to get it done around work and kiddos but I’m pretty happy tonight with my most ambitious DIY project to date.
