Ed Smith @edsmithington.bsky.social · 18/12/2024A Cavan man’s wife died and he went to put her death notice in the newspaper. As the price per word was €5, he wanted to just print ‘Mary Murphy dead”. Newspaper man tells him it’s a minimum 6 word notice. So he printed “Mary Murphy dead. Hay for sale.” #irishtimes 192

Ed Smith @edsmithington.bsky.social · 02/12/2024What about a restaurant or café that simply does a proper hotel breakfast buffet.

Ed Smith @edsmithington.bsky.social · 12/10/2023I'm not sure I have enough personality for a hobby. I look at things of interest to other people with my head tilted like a blankly curious alien. I fear it's too late to even cosplay as a person with a notable interest. Oh well. Golf it is. 121
