Nothing I like better than getting down to some funky grooves or, if time is tight, a single groof.

It seemed outlandish to me when I heard it first but almost immediately began to think … wellll, maybe. We are living in a crazy world rn so this at least has some observable sense behind it.

And on Wednesdays, we used to shoot small texts pinned to the wall in the living room. Those were the days...

If ever there was an Administration likely to build a moon-sized planet-killing military facility which could be blown to smithereens by a single shot from a one-pilot craft, it would be this Administration. #AppropriateDress

I have this distinct early memory of my dad coming home from his barman job. Earlier, I must’ve climbed in beside my mother in their bed. I was about three. Some time very late in the wee small hours, my dad arrived home from work and woke me, as he got ready for bed. #ShiftWork #SpéirGhorm

And we’re back to the “early risers.” Any budget support for those on the late shifts? Or the folks who are really surprisingly productive for intense bursts during the late morning? 😉😁 I suppose at least the parents of younger childer and the owners of pets will qualify. So there’s that. 👶🐈‍⬛🐕

B. But the other way around, where you go to the relatively recent past and somehow don’t get riddled with all sorts of worms, and beset by mites, fleas and parasites. AND just generally spend most of the time gagging at the smell and sight of all sorts of normalised stuff of that era.

Would’ve loved to be at the pitch meeting for this as campaign for chocolate back in the day. #SpéirGhorm

Random request for a running joke that has possibly gone too far: does anyone have/can anyone unearth the theme music to Going Strong, RTE's 80s show for the older viewer? All I can remember is "going strong ... is doing what you're able to do!"

Great crowd. Really fun. Halloween had come early. I was with my eldest teen and her mate and there was a lot of rejoicing and enjoyment. I am now totally broke of course.

That’s the one. I’d the weekly UK weeklies World of Knowledge and Look and Learn, along with a set of Childcraft. But I spent many a memorable afternoon PORING over one of that series. And I still have it
