Des @despod.eurosky.social · 27/09/2026Listening to The Rolling Wave. The two Dublin lads interviewed were asked about the name of their album "123". One of them said it was from the bus route and he'd see Marino on "the scroll" and the other lad would see Drimnagh. Sure enough the first lad was a bus driver. Nobody else uses that term. 240

Des @despod.eurosky.social · 27/09/2026It must be wonderful to live in the rarefied atmospheres of Dublin Academia or D'Olier St and not have to feel any empathy towards others who might be suffering.
