That’s okay. But you see, I’m from Cork.

Ed Gamble is great. But he’s no Kevin McGahern. And Claudia is great. But she’s no Siobhán. That opening game though shows the size of the BBC budget. But we got… sheep in a field. And we LIKED it! Also, wouldn’t you miss the swearing. C’mon Joanne. #CelebrityTraitors #SpéirGorm

Could we nominate someone to watch the before and maybe up to the first five minutes and let us know here if there’s “an incident“?

#TraitorsIRL should be how RTÉ justifies the license fee. Lower budget moments (last year’s cattle trailer death row, this year’s sheep task) aside, it’s otherwise monumental water cooler TV showcasing the best bits of Ireland: Craic, diversity, cute hoorism, ár gcultúr, and Siobhán. ‘Mon season 3!

Another hugely entertaining series of #TraitorsIrl. Such a satisfying climax. Comhgairdheas to all the contestants. But seriously lads, Siobhán! utterly magnificent. Her wardrobe! divine. Not forgetting Kevin McGavern, killing it on Uncloaked. Bualadh bos mór to all involved.

My husband refuses to eat lamb, due to regularly meeting them while hill walking and frequently rescuing them from barbed wire or holes apparently. The minute he’s gone on a sortie, I’m defrosting chops or heading to the shop for a fillet. 😋

I find that hard to believe. What about “spoofer” ? Surely that’s been used. I mean it’s very gentle compared to “thundering disgrace”

Happy Birthday Lee’s Granny. Hope you’re feeling well on your special day. From Carrigaline, just outside Cork, which is relatively close to Belfast, but I think I’d be in Marrakesh faster, or even farther.

Oh janey. Six weeks was a lot in those days. All’s well that ends well. Not surprising though you like blackberries.

Spoilt for choice in Cork. Southsider myself, but I’d read something set in the Glen, or Gurrane. Think I’d even understand it.

Went picking blackas this week. I found them very small this year with surprisingly few actually ripe yet. And there were lots that seemed to have withered on the bush. Tried several spots. Last year was a way better crop. Love it though, reminds me of my mom and dad.

No. I couldn’t see it in his hair like normal dandruff or on his clothes. Nor I couldn’t see it on his eyelashes. But that’s a gentle medicated shampoo. I think I used it myself later too when I had an allergic reaction to some shampoo or conditioner

Norma Casey NCY @normacasey.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Just remembered the shampoo was called Cetavlon and was only available in the pharmacy but no prescription needed. Maybe it’s worth a shot.

When my son was a child, out of the blue, he started blinking way more than usual. He was constantly blinking. Took him to the doc. Turned out he had a “dandruff” not visible in his hair but falling into his eyes. Special shampoo sorted it. Could shampoo change help you?

Last October, Israel agreed to a ceasefire. Israeli attacks since have killed more than 1,300 people according to the Gaza health ministry, whose figures are considered generally reliable by the United Nations.

I’m amazed that secular France would agree to that treatment of female staff. It’s appalling.
