Certainly did but somehow contrived to miss The Tree of the Year even though we walked the length of the Newcastle promenade. 🫣

@michaelwilliamson.bsky.social Tollymore was a wonderful experience. We did the red walk and it was beautiful - a nice mix of the river and forest. Thanks for the tip!

#speirgorm #SpéirGhorm Will soon visit Newcastle Co. Down for a few days. Tips on tourist activities or good places to eat/drink, in the region, are welcome. Have a car. Gobbins Cliff Walk in Antrim is a thought.

It's Rosscarbery and the photo is taken from Church Road. I've added an image to the original message. The day we were there the weather was somewhat inclement.

Photo is taken from Church Road, Rosscarbery in Co. Cork.

Google maps image showing the roadway across the causeway and a map showing the location on Church Road from where the photo was taken.

Then choose the other option and move on.

It's entirely up to you...you're free to chuck it in the bin if you feel like it. Else just adjust your habits and bring something to the supermarket more often rather than let it pile up. #speirgorm #spéirghorm

You might need to add Heerenveen in the north of NL (south of Leeuwarden). Some might remember Lucas Radebe scoring in front of the Leeds end while pretty much sitting on his arse. #lufc

2. The Anglo-Celt archipelago was referred to as the British Isles. Feel free to use the former as the later, though geographical, has political if not colonial implications. Cheers!

@davidolusoga.bsky.social Interesting programme on slavery. 1. When discussing the toppling of Colston's statue it was implied the topplers were "wrong" cos Colston was not a Bristol slave trader but a London slave trader. Still a slave trader regardless of city.

Agreed but I did struggle with (P)opo who I believe was in The Dubliners 😉

Saw that but isn't she also a Newcastle fan? #lufc

Raphinha skipped his tea so decided on a double hotdog. #lufc

Only two points for a win then is it? #lufc

Screenshot of an article saying Leeds have taken 4 points after 3 matches with a win and two draws.

Looking to book tickets for the Pantheon in Rome ? Don't do it via the Basilica's own site for €17 but rather go to the Ministry of Culture (link buried deep in the Basilica's site) and get them for €7. www.museiitaliani.it/musei/33f771... #Speirgorm

...which given we have 4 points would be a remarkable achievement 😀

Alan @dublin1al.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

A few, me included, probably felt he was worth an extra 10 points a season. It could be argued he's already got 6 of those. #lufc

Unless it was a Special Care Order (detention in a secure unit) any child with intent could easily sneak out from a foster or residential home. It's still unclear how the conclusion is this is a "new low" for Tusla. #SpéirGhorm

Artistic license at best but, in reality, utterly meaningless drivel. The work of a 9 year given a scissors and told to cut up an old atlas and stick the pretty pictures on a photo of a turnip. Other opinions, along with your mileage, may vary. #SpeirGorm #SpéirGhorm

Alan @dublin1al.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

In this specific instance how is Tusla's involvement here "a new low"? There's nothing in the article to indicate or explain the extent of Tusla's involvement. Not as far as I can see. #SpéirGhorm

I was in DUB T1 last month for the first time in years and had a fleeting wave of nostalgia as I walked past the very spot where the TVs were situated. I remembered sticking 10p into the slot and absolutely NOTHING, not even a flicker, happened. #speirgorm #spéirghorm

Plenty of bars in Leeds from which to choose but Whitelock's Ale House is a particular favourite. Just off Brigate. Serves standard British fare.

So not a simple fix like a thermal fuse...that's a shame after so many years.

It's commonly used when making a Gala meat pie. Means everyone gets a slice of pie with an equal amount of egg yolk and white on display...

Strongly suggest using Revolut if not already - will save a fortune in bank charges. If not let me know I'll send you a Revolut referral code. Once he starts to use the app on a few occasions I should get a referral few which I'll happily transfer to him.

Was in Albania last year and everything is tap and go. Montengro and North Macedonia are essentially EURO countries. Little need to have any local CCY - small denom EUR is sufficient. Won't be refused.

Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22
