Really positive experience with Chill. Quoted me with my current insurer for a ridiculously lower price. Verification of materials simple. Docs in post super quick.

Drumcondra is full of Leinster rugby supporters going to Croke Park who’ve never been north of the Liffey, and IT SHOWS. Border patrol at Connolly Station was like a zoo – none of them had passports, and customs had to check their 'culture shock' rather than luggage. #LEIvHAR #InvestecChampionsCup

This is by far the most abusive and hurtful email I've ever received. Marketing comms from Irish Rail promoting taking the bus to the airport.

Greyhound racing is going to be outlawed in Wales… with a popular petition cited as having an influence. It’s notable that one of the topic tags used by another news outlet was “gambling”… but here’s the thing everyone is coming around to: greyhounds are pets, not bets. news.sky.com/story/welsh-...

Dr Strangelove in the Bord Gais was incredible, an incredible show with some brilliant local tweaks by @aiannucci.bsky.social &co., topped by a modern brilliant theatre, an absolute joy.

Digital management will be going mad they didn’t inline link to the Indy’s reviews of vacuums…

David Cochrane @davidcochrane.ie · 04/02/2025

“BREAKING” is doing *a lot* of heavy lifting here. But maybe the Indy staff are already working within a *squints* false vacuum and so can get away with it… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Trump threatens 'very high' tariffs on Denmark over Greenland" Guess that means OZEMPIC which one of Denmark's biggest exports to the United States is either going to be more expensive, or the highly in-demand supply will go elsewhere!

My best conspiracy so far is that Off Beat Doughnuts on Westland Row are intentionally piping *that glorious calorific smell* onto the Pearse Station platform

These are bylaws being put forward by Dublin City Council, not central Gov www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl... Also, a lot of these organisations are not charities, with some having been denied this status by the Charities Regulator dublininquirer.com/2024/09/04/i...

I’m still recovering from the stunning CMAT @cmatbaby.bsky.social on Jools Holland’s #Hootenanny last night. I watched it on repeat until the tv box rewind gave up on me. Thankfully BBC Music has locked it in time. What an incredible performance. youtu.be/G0DTzK8eDdk?...

The router is even faster than the speedtest on the same network with an iphone. I called my fixed internet provider earlier in the month to ask about the price, explained the speed test/price delta and I actually got shouted at: “that’s just mobile” Is 5G legit here to eat fixed internet’s lunch?

Helping a family member by setting up a new smart tv for them and getting them sorted with internets. I’m absolutely blown away with how fast the 5G router is. Even faster than the fixed line internet here (and over half the price).

The absolutely glorious CMAT @cmatbaby.bsky.social has released an entire show onto YouTube and not only is it as amazing as you’d imagine it is: it’s even more. youtu.be/Yyo9yLGZk44?...

Absolutely extraordinary radio that @clairebyrne.bsky.social on @rteradio1.bsky.social isn't challenging the stark revelations that Santa has a quantum computer recording everyone's data from the moment they're born.

Israel’s Dublin embassy closure impacts the citizens of Israel most: no consular services, no visa support, no legal, community, or cultural help. While there are theatrics involved, the reality is that closing an embassy primarily affects a country’s own citizens living in the host nation.

The Noël Coward Theatre where it's staged in London is a 120-year-old theatre, and they did their best to make sure people could enjoy the show whilst being down the back/in the nosebleeds (televisions along the aisles). I've no doubt the Bord Gais Theatre's staging will be properly incredible.

I'm a fan of the original Stanley Kubrick movie, and was gifted a ticket to @aiannucci.bsky.social's Dr. Strangelove in London last month. It was so good I've bought tickets for Dublin. This by @patrickfreyne.bsky.social has me even more excited to see it again. www.irishtimes.com/culture/stag...

New Zealand are planning a phased banning of Greyhound racing. This is what progressive nations that care about animal welfare do. Greyhounds are pets, not pets. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Delighted to see Barry Ward take a #ge24 seat in Dun Laoghaire. This profile of him on The Irish Times might include a typo, but they're still not wrong 😂 www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

[Barry Ward] tarted out in politics while in college and was previously a legal adviser to Enda Kenny.
