Munster barely have a good enough 15. As soon as they go beyond that there's not enough to compete. It'll be a long season.

Amazing what happens when you don't have a second front row.

That agro from the Munster team, where they all piled in, has been missing for the last few years (with the odd individual exception, which was a problem in itself). Good to see.

The proposed solution for the maths AAC is a day event. Basically an exam. Except moved to 5th year. The same will be suggested for English. A day event for what was on paper 1. Paper 1 in 5th year for Maths and English. Don't say you weren't warned.

That Tesco ad where they speak about all the wonderful things they do for the community, yet find men having and discussing emotions hilarious, has really annoyed my children. My son was shocked when I pointed it out. Great message to young fellas. Well done Tesco.

Please, everyone, stop using the phrase "it's been a minute" unless it has, in fact, been a minute. Thanks.

Any media, or individual, showing or sharing footage of teenagers breaking the law for likes is doing what the teenagers want, and are exacerbating the problem. Discuss the problem, debate the problem, highlight the problem, but don't do what they want and share the footage

A tech journal worked with a bookshop to put an AirTag into a shipment of books that it suspected were part of a scan-and-shred AI operation. The company which operates at the final destination - an Amazon-operated LLM trainer - has a logo depicting … [checks notes] a dinosaur shredding a book.

Finished season five of ER, thank god. Veered too close to Grey's Anatomy nonsense at times. Poor attention to detail was the overriding issue.

Dr. Ross is about to leave ER (season five). Wonder will he find where all the electricians and cleaners went.

Season 5 of ER has some issues with its depiction of race. Previous seasons attacked racism and bias in a more subtle and interesting ways. This season has some serious problems.

Conor Murphy @conorsmurf.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Season five starts with a reintroduction of the ER and all the cast. A bit weird but maybe they were getting even more popular at the time and wanted to let the new audience know the layout etc. But it had that character short hand moment that works so well.

One of the quietly interesting aspects of ER is watching the technology develop. From no computers to computers to better computers to more etc.

ER Season four. The contrast has been turned up, and the lighting brighter. Means the makeup is stronger. More characters means more domestic dramas at the expense of patient stories. Some brilliant writing but you can feel the series changing.

Wyck: I told you! Don't use the cursed mayo to make sandwiches for the Irish tourists! Tom: They were hungry! What was I supposed to do? They'd have posted bad reviews online! Patricia (running in): Okay, the Irish tourists ate the cursed mayo sandwiches and are now killing everyone with big sticks.

Season two of Widow's Bay better have an island version of Mayo and The Curse.

I always felt that Telemachus was a bit of a drip. His moments of violence felt like over compensating. A weedy character. And, with the above in mind, I think Tom Holland played him perfectly, especially with how the character was rewritten. Dont get the hate thrown his way.

Conor Murphy @conorsmurf.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Season three of ER goes for major dramatic storyline and a few famous faces in the cast to compensate.for Dr Lewis' departure. Some great episodes in there. (And fewer silly bits)

Masters of the Universe is great fun. Yes, a little too long and wants to have its cake and eat it (like its big sister Barbie) but a perfect film for the summer evening.

Just back from The Odyssey with child no 2 and child no 3. They loved it! As one of them said, it was like someone was telling you a story, you just sat back and time dissappeared. The other just loves Nolan. I liked it.

ER Season three introduces slapstick whilst going in heavy on the Drama. Season one had some funny, subtle, visual gags. This humour, though, feels heavy handed and out of place.

I'm thrilled for FIFA that they got that standard in the final. The perfect match to out before America's new king.

Looking at the hoarding that says "The Final" I'm presuming the semifinal had "A Semifinal" hoardings.

I'm not watching and obviously the concept of some nonsense show extending half time of a soccer match is unutterably shit. But if they did have to do it, it would have been great if Chappell Roan got to do Pink Pony Club live in front of president dickhead and dickhead infantino.

Galway United used to raffle a hamper of meat at half time and it was more entertaining than this.

FIFA really, really, really wants America to like them. It's embarrassing, like watching the Office for the first time.

The precredit sequence in Anaconda (2025) is so poorly edited it's like it's purposefully lowering your expectations for the film.

Nothing is more important than the children, everything we do, no matter at what level, should always come back to how will this benefit the children? Simultaneously, we must support teachers in their endeavours to do what is best. We are all human after all, values, beliefs and attitudes are key.

I just came back from the cinema. Child no 2 (18) and child no 3 (14) wanted to watch the Backrooms again, with the 15 minutes added. Cinema is far from dead. (I declined. I read for a bit and then went for a snooze in the car. Windows open.)
