Ger @ger.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Tayto have brought out limited edition crisp packets with the 12 most popular surnames in Ireland. However, they have dropped 'Smith' and replaced it with 'McCarthy'.

Ger @ger.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I'm on my second round of vegemite on toast and have already used 5 knives and counting. 140
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 18/09/2026That was a long day. Time to see what's going on in the world. *opens irish times dot com reads top four headlines* Never mind. 000
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 15/09/2026AI is a curse on humanity and will likely kill us all but on the plus side it's useful for answering the most inane questions that pop into your head such as when did Noah overtake Noel as a baby name in Ireland (some time between 1998 and 2004) 000
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Without saying your age, what is a favourite movie that came out when you were 20 years old? 020
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Here are some more pics of the map which I spotted in the lexicon library in Dun Laoghaire. I can't find a source retrospectively, but the underlying civil parish mapping dates from 1837 and if available here. www.dublinhistoricmaps.ie/boundaries/c... 110
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 29/08/2026This map of Civil Parishes in Dublin from the early 20th century is wild. Rathmichael has a coastline, Killiney village isn't even in Killiney, and Monkstown includes modern day Blackrock, Dún Laoghaire, and a decent chunk of Dalkey. 101
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I can't make out the names of 3 of the 4 bands on this poster, but I must say I am absolutely loving "ANAL LOBOTOMY" 000
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I appreciate the effort being made here to a) increase awareness of maritime fauna, and b) promote the Irish language, but I can't help think that using a pun that only works in English is a bit sloppy. 000
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 16/08/2026With a name that translates to 'Dick Ass', it's a wonder why this Salsa King hasn't made more of an impact on the English speaking world. 000
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 08/08/2026That combination of errands can mean only one thing. I'm on to you Brennan.. 110
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 05/08/2026If you had been wondering what a 91 year old lady would have hanging in the kitchen of the apartment she'd lived in her whole life and you guessed a calendar of the Regulatory Council of the Protected Geographical Indication for Beef and Veal from Extremadura, you'd be right. 010
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Has a look of a man who's been on rip.ie all afternoon mapping out funerals along the N5. They should never have hired a kerry driver. 120
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 16/07/2026My brain is so cooked. Thanks to the shadow placement I thought we were looking at the 2nd option in this meme. 010
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 11/07/2026So who in the Carlsberg marketing department thought it would be a good idea for their product to look like a Cambodian knock off of itself from the mid 2000s? 010
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Could anyone help me find a map online of a load of countries fitted inside a map of Cork? I could have sworn I saw it and saved it somewhere online this morning, but now it's nowhere to be found. 010
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Ireland can be an absolute delight in the summer. I reckon I had it right all those years when I would only go abroad in the autumn. You've put in the hard yards through the winter. Why miss the best bit? 030
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 07/07/2026In my memory, this quote was by Alan Partridge. Got a jumpscare when this lad landed in on the ol google (images). 000
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Got talked into a tomato growing competition in a WhatsApp group and well it's about the most positive thing to come out of the likes of that nonsense 030
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 09/06/2026"Well, if it isn't my old friend, Mr. McGreg! With a leg for an arm, and an arm for a leg!" 020
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 07/06/2026The good news is I don't need to iron any shirts for next week. We're backed to crumpled shirts and a jumper. Oh yeah. #presentable 000
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Dustin Diamond, specifically in his role as 'Screech' from 'Saved by the Bell' (1988-2000) 000
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Happy pride month from the shadows cast on my toilet cistern from the evening sun shining through the adhesive frosted film above the hall door 🌈 001
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I had cause to take the extremely rare 7E bus this morning. The route looks like a map of the adventures of some minor and highly disfunctional hobbit in Lord of the Rings. @dublinbusnews.bsky.social #dublinbus #speirgorm 081
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Spotted in a shop down the town today. This one would live in your ear. 010
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Can I say something without people getting mad? The route of the hantavirus cruise ship looks pretty cool. I've gone down Wikipedia rabbit holes on all of these places. Putting it on the bucket list. 020
Ger @ger.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I have observed of late that babies are slavish adherents to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, tireless vectors of entropy. Why can my tower of bricks not be simply admired? Even added to? Why must destruction be the prescription in every case? 010
