The power got cut off to get bees out of the local transformer, and all I heard from next door was "ah me banana breads!"

Two beekeepers and two electrical workers open a transformer box in a residential estate. One of the beekeeper and one of the electrical workers are in beesuits. The 2nd electrical worker finds this hilarious and will take a photo of his colleague while laughing loudly shortly.

Sudden heavy rain shower meant i had to pull in and hide under a tree. Kids found this hilarious.

A bakfiets cargo bike with rain cover sits in a paved parking area of a public parkland. The sun is shining, but there is a heavy rain shower. Two children can be made out through the canopy, eating jellies and laughing.

Consider the loss of earnings incurred by one bar in Phoenix by turning away: An Irish man; In his late 20s; On the last night of a work trip; With two weeks unspent per diem; During St.Patrick's week; All because the old Irish driver's licence was printed on pink folded paper, not a plastic card.

An old style Irish driving licence, showing two pages. On the left, the front cover with embossed celtic knots surrounding an irish harp, over which is printed:
"IRELAND
ÉIRE
IRL
DRIVING LICENCE
CEADÚNAS TIOMÁNA"

Then translations of "driving licence" in several other languages which i cannot produce here because the image is blurry and I don't want to make a mistake.

On the right, the personal details page, including name, date of birth, nationality, address, issueing authority, validity period, licence number, driver signature, and a small passport photo laminated to the page.

There were two other pages to the licence not shown, which included the classes of vehicles covered by the licence, and any medical exemptions/requirements/limitations on the driver.

The paper was heavy gauge and salmon pink throughout. The licence was laminated both for protection and to hold the photo in place. No I am not joking.

This was an official government document issued by the Irish state to its citizens well into the 2010s.

No I am not joking.

19th century anti-irish screed is it? Allow me to contribute this gem from my home townland. Not even the whole parish, just the bit around the mass rock.

Saying goodbye to this handsome boy today. A more patient cat with young children you could not ask for. I will miss you Oscar.

...there are unfortunately many more examples

A split photo - image on the left is a burned out building with a burned out car crashed through the wall. Image on right is a barricaded small town street

Image of a badly damaged car stopped in the street beside a shop front with part of the wall knocked away.

This is my go-to image for why motorists need mandatory licensing and insurance, while other road users do not. And if anyone says this is a rare occurrence...

A white sedan car is crashed into the upper floor of a two storey dentists office. There is substantial damage to the building and the vehicle.

This is a good example of why motorists require mandatory licensing and insurance, and other road users do not.

Happy first day of autumn, to all who celebrate.

A disc graph showing the celtic, astronomical, and meteorological calendars, and the offsets between them. The celtic seasons are split evenly by the equinoxes and solstices (summer solstice in mid summer, winter solstice in mid winter, etc.) The astronomical seasons begin at their respective solstices and equinoxes. The meteorological seasons split the difference between the celtic and astronomical.

For the purposes of this post, we regard the celtic calendar as the true measure and all other interpretations as rank heresy.

Inspired by the call to block reform UK this morning, I went looking for Littler's pet project. Only found this parody account holding the handle. It's...of certain genre of parody, that I usually do without, but more importantly: Fuck the National Party

Oh, it's based on the increase from last year.

Screenshot from yahoo finance with highlighted text stating: In 2023 alone, Bezos's net worth increased by $70 billion, from $107 billion to $177 billion. This means he earned around $191.78 million per day or an incredible $7.99 million per hour. His wealth growth was largely driven by the value of Amazon stock, in which he owns about 9%

It should be an open goal to vote yes/yes, but they've managed to make a dog's dinner of it. See for yourself

A photo of the green ballot paper for the 40th amendment to the constitution (care) Bill 2023. Quote: "You are being asked, in this referendum, if you agree with the proposal -

(a) to delete the following section from Article 41 of the Constitution:

"2, 1°, In particular, the state recognises that by her life within the home, woman gives to the state a support without which the common good cannot be achieved.

2°, The State shall, therefore, endeavour to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home."

and

(b) to insert the following Article after article 42A of the constitution:

"CARE
Article 42B
The state recognises that the provision of care, by members of a family to one another by reason of the bonds that exist among them, gives to Society a support without which the common good cannot be achieved, and shall strive to support such provision." "

I get so much use out of this meme, it's not funny.

Twelve years ago in the Netherlands I knuckled under and did as the Dutch did, buying 2 pies for the office as a birthday offering. Half the office was on holiday, so I had to bring most of them home to eat alone.

Two half Dutch sweet pies, smushed together in a delicious mess, having been brought home on the back of a bicycle.
