On the specific point of a replacement flag, New Zealand recently addressed the task really well IMO. They had a public competition seeking suggestions for a new flag, a public vote to find the most popular, and then put that head to head against the original flag. The original won, but still.

Very good. There's a case for flipping Carla and Diego though. Time will tell!

See what you have there is a Dun Laoghaire crew (St. Michael's) passing Coliemore Harbour (Dalkey R.C. HQ). They won't like that.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

but neither could double dip into the vegemite without leaving butter residue inside the vegemite jar. Not happening. Not on my watch. So a third clean knife was needed to add more vegemite. Job done. The second round of toast (brace of slices) went according to plan, bringing in knives four & five.

100

Now if you've been paying attention, the first knife has butter residue while the second has both butter and vegemite residue. In this instance I had been stingy with my vegemite dip, so needed to go again. The first knife could conceivably take a second dip into the butter,

Well I'm glad you asked. The standard approach to a round of vegimite on toast is two slices of toast and two knives. The first goes in clean to the butter, spreads it on both slices. The second goes in clean to the vegemite, spreads it, blending in with the vegemite.

I'm on my second round of vegemite on toast and have already used 5 knives and counting.

Butter, vegemite, two slices of toast and five soiled knives.

The lack of effort to make the stones tessellate is a crime in and of itself. There was a wall like this near where I grew up and passing it would always deduct 8% off my happiness for the following hour.

Interesting! Presumably from 'petit'? There's any number of ways a 'little France' could have turned up in Glouchester.

One possible charitable explanation for the terrible round tables is that some people (Ian, Pete, Anna?) know fine well that Pauric and Carla are the traitors, but want to keep them where they can see them. Keep voting out faithful and then bang bang at the end and split the pot. #TraitorsIRL

AI 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)

I passed actress Geraldine Plunkett. She seemed remarkably well preserved. Turns out she was only 11 years older than her daughter on Glenroe. This was dealt with in Ep1 by Dinny: "Are you coddin' me Mary, a little slip of a thing like yourself with a grown up daughter?" youtu.be/xnTl1_L2xKA?...

discovered today that there's a village in Cork called New Tipperary which sounds like it was a 17th century fur trading outpost established by wealthy merchants from Cahir and Clonmel

Britain’s original plan for New Zealand had the islands split into three provinces, with nonsensical borders typical of any British colonial project. The provinces were named after Irish ones (the guy who came up with them was an Anglo-Irish colonial officer). These didn’t last for long.

A map of New Zealand, showing its provincial divisions in 1841. Most of the North Island forms ‘New Ulster’, but the southern tip of the island forms ‘New Munster along with what today is now known as the Southern Island. The small island below the Southern Island, Rakiura/Stewart Island, makes the third province ‘New Leinster’
