Going to dinner, seeing a movie, going to a concert, traveling, doesn't matter. You learn so much about yourself by doing things solo and unfettered. 5654
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I’m OK, thanks. Working and driving again, but I’m still not great on my feet. I’m probably better than I think I am, but as you get older, you’re terrified of falling, so I don’t push it. How are you? 110
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I’m going through old stuff, and found this. Fifty years ago, on the Dover to Ostend Sealink ferry — whoever took it missed the white cliffs. 🙄 Note the monogrammed hoodie. It was a school tour, and that was a way of ensuring you came home with the clothes you left with. 🤣😂🤣 4230
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I’m good, thanks. Driving again and working too, so at least some of my independence is back. Not great at the oul’ walking; I can do it, but coordination and stamina are issues. All things considered, though, I could be worse! Hope you’re well too. 🙂 190
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 23/08/2026The Irish Atlantic Rainforest programme on RTÉ One was lovely. Slow, elegiac, a total change of pace from our (often unnecessarily) busy lives. I’m looking forward to next week already. Congratulations to Eoghan Daltun on all he has achieved. 3394

If you could put out a general message, we share a lot of the same followers I would be very grateful don’t open a DM from me it’s a fake. Trying to get my account back. 121
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I’m good, thanks, Joules! I still can’t walk very far, but I’m driving, so that’s all good. How are you? 🙂 110
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I kinda am and I’m not, Walter! Good to see you. I hope you’re well! All the best to you, Philip 🙂 120
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I haven’t got the hang of it. I feel like it’s the good room. Twitter, for all its faults, is the kitchen table. Bluesky feels, I don’t know, manicured… 100

Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Pewter is a good description! It was the media launch of the Jeep Compass; stayed in Slane Castle on Wednesday night. 😀 Will do! 120
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Sorry, David, I don’t come here very often! I’ve been on leave this week (I was in Dublin for the last couple of nights). All good, thank you. It’s very considerate of you to check, so thank you. This was Friday — I’m getting better every day. Driving too. 😌 5140
Reposted by Philip NolanBrendan Donlon @brendandonlon.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I interviewed my cat about the 100km in 30 Days challenge. She was unmoved. I'm a cancer survivor, and Marie Keating Foundation helped me and others I know - they do a lot of good on a very lean budget, so every € helps.

Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 23/05/2026How ironic that in pointing out he works in the Classics department of UCC, Dr Woods perfectly displays the trait of middle-class narcissism. 🙄 190
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 02/02/2026It’s a bank holiday, and RTÉ One has made no concession beyond a 30-minute doc about a panto dame. Where’s the film after the news? At the least, it could have done a BBC1 and shown E2 of These Sacred Vows. It’s on the Player anyway. Oh, well - Silent Witness is back at 9pm, tonight and tomorrow… 2133
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Isn’t blowjob a corruption of ‘below’ job? The act itself requires the very opposite of blowing! 🤔 110
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Hoping Trump was just bluffing was “the tack Europe’s leaders took for too long - that somehow this vainglorious vulgarian only was obsessed with turning the Oval Office as gilded as Nefertiti’s tomb…” - You can read me (if you wish!) in Thursday’s Irish Daily Mail 1202
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Thanks very much! It’s nice to see more money is due - it’s in need of a little TLC! 021
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 27/12/2025I’ve wanted to go here for ages, and finally was taken today by my elder sister - the 1935 De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-On-Sea. Her, my younger sister, and I had lunch. A lovely way to end Christmas! 3501
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 27/12/2025“Death had been shown the door, but he was reluctant to go through it just yet…” - For those of you interested, you can read Part One of the story of my stroke in tomorrow’s @IrishMailSunday 3505
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 23/12/2025You too, Rachel! Say hi to S and P for me, and have a great Christmas, all of you. I have a way to go, but a year hopefully will make a difference! Px 110
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 21/12/2025People have asked how I’m doing since I had a stroke in Rome in April. I had four months in hospital, and I had to learn to walk again. I have a way to go, but I’m good, thank you. Happy Christmas to all! 301694
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Christmas in Ireland continues until January 6 - Little Christmas, also known as Nollaig na mBan (Women’s Christmas), when women celebrate together and leave family and home to the men! 010
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 20/12/2025I’m good, thanks, Denise. I have a long way to go, but I’m mobile, which is a start. I can’t feel temperature on the right side, but I hope I’ll get there. I’m off to England for Christmas, first flight since the stroke. Fingers crossed. Happy Christmas to you! 290
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 07/12/2025For the last time, soccer is a British English word, dating from the 19th century. It comes from the ‘soc’ in ‘association’. It was used to differentiate from rugby football (“rugger”). British exceptionalism at its finest. You know there’s also Gaelic football, American football, Aussie rules, etc? 2150
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 28/11/2025I’m good, thanks, Philip. Not wild about my reliance on others to get out, because I’m a very independent person, but I have no choice at the moment, and everyone has been good to the point of exceptional! A year will hopefully see a big difference. 140
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 09/10/2025Life will never be the same again, but I’ll make a new one! 150
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Life is weird. Just the other day, I was posting elsewhere about Giorgio Armani’s death, and the Duomo in Milan. Today, I find a bag of photos, and there are a few I’ve never seen before. Like my late father in 1955, aged 25, outside the, er, Duomo… 4460
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 31/07/2025It’s far from perfect, but given the fact I effectively was paralysed three months ago, I’m grateful for walking again, splint and all. Arm has a bit to go, and I need practice outdoors, but improving every day. Physio and occupational team here in Enniscorthy are terrific! #StrokeRecovery 461673
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 27/07/2025It’s hard to over-estimate the influence of Tom Lehrer on those of us who have a dark sense of humour. He came and he went, young and at the top of his game, and in doing so cemented his legend forever. Clever chap. He died yesterday at 97, and remains as relevant today as ever. 3663
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 27/07/2025I’m really bored at when no one is calling, all right! 130
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 27/07/2025I weigh about half what I used to - I had a haircut today, the first in three months! 🤣 Who says there aren’t good people in the world, by the way? My regular Turkish barber in Gorey (thanks, #BabySis, for taking me there) refused to take a cent. 👏 14850
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 12/07/2025Thanks, Colm. I was in Rome to cover Pope Francis’s funeral, but I never made it. The office and my brother got me home on a private jet. It’s been quite the journey, but I’ll get there! 080
Philip Nolan @philipnolan.bsky.social · 12/07/2025I’ve had a stroke, I’m afraid. In rehab hospital In Enniscorthy. It’ll be a while yet until I cook! 590
