If you, as an Irish person, can tell me the in-depth details of the Senate race in Georgia, but can't tell me any of your local TDs, your passport is being rescinded and replaced with a nice blue British one.

The reaction from some loyalists to the open letter from Protestants calling for the OO to cancel the march has been as wild as expected. Particularly enjoying the accusations of fake signatories. UNTHINKABLE that there could be like 60 people having independent thoughts. They're all secret taigs.

Having no connection to either side, I find it difficult not to feel some level of sympathy with both sides, and for basically the same reason.

I only really remember Northern Irish twitter stuff, but they're not old, or even slightly exciting. Just some academic whose name I can't remember constantly getting into arguments with that choyaa lad and deactivating his account every weekend. I missed the proper days.

Cavan and Offaly are the most "kick them into the sun for the greater good" counties down here, but I wonder what the northern ones are. Fermanagh and Tyrone, I assume.

An all-island Irish football team would be a disaster, but there's a chance it would be an incredibly funny disaster, so I'm all for it.

I love the really smug rugby lads who love to tell us that football here should have an All-Ireland team because "it works in the rugby." Not only does that let you know that they've never left Donnybrook for extended periods of their lives, but they also don't know much about Irish rugby.

My favourite old man argument is my father banging on about mandatory lessons making younger people worse drivers because they lack the "real road experience" he gained by driving around an empty Dunnes car park for half an hour the day before he took his test.

"It's not racist, he's trying to meet the public where they are" is such a mind numbingly dim thing to day. When will these people get it into their heads that a bad idea being popular doesn't mean it's less bad, it means more people believe bad things?

The Order is bad enough already without the added influences of "how does this serve my party and my role in it" and "I must collapse Northern Ireland at all costs so I can feel important and I don't give a fuck about literally anything else at all"

One of the things I'm taking away from reigniting Drumcree, apart from the obvious, is how much it's highlighted just how useless Alliance are. Total waste of time. Well, that and the definite end of the UUP pretending to be inclusive for about five minutes.

I know it's all about actual practice or whatever, but being called a weird theocratic state by our neighbour whose head of state is also head of the church, whose Prime Minister is involved in the appointment of bishops, and whose bishops have seats in government is, I have to say, a bit weird.

Seeing people in the UK complain about the heat is a lovely contrast to the wind and rain outside that sounds like it could blow down the house. That said, I think we win because I'm definitely not sweating.

Remember their faces, the Quinn brothers Jason (aged nine), Mark (aged 10), and Richard (aged 11), who when Garvaghy last exploded in July 1998, were murdered in their beds by Loyalist petrol bombs. A fragile peace bought with the blood of children, now being ripped apart.

This is why, every year, the whole of Ireland is required to celebrate the Puck Fair. We can’t just say that hauling a goat into the air for days on end is something just for Kerry. We are a united country, which is why we have airborne goats everywhere.

Unlike the rugby, who I just can't stand, I have an unhealthy dislike of the Welsh football team motivated entirely by jealousy. We're the plucky little likeable team who dream of nothing more than beating England. Stay in your lane.
