Storm + nearby sycamore tree makes it sound like someone is occasionally pelting the house with gravel.

If anyone gets Glastonbury tickets tomorrow sound off and include which gods you follow. I'll collate the data at the end and find the one true religion.

Why is it "tapas" when it's all fancy food like tuna and chorizo, but its "pick'n'mix" when it's cola bottles and bonbons?

It's established through the existence of the Pope mobile that Christianity exists, ergo Car Christ was crucified, ergo suffering and death both exist in the Cars universe. Health insurance.

If I had a genie wish it would be that all TV drama resolves nicely and our heroes are all cool and amazing... basically that all TV was Star Trek TNG.

We're just going to have to live with contextless referral to the "triple lock" being potentially either about UK pensions or Irish neutrality for the foreseeable aren't we?

Watching AI at work is just constantly reading things like: That's unexpected. Correcting. Something else is wrong. Oh no. How do I tell the user? I think they have children. Before: I did the thing you asked. It all went fine. I momentarily thought I ended all life on the planet, but not this time

You know what people didn't have 30 years ago? Very loud bluetooth speakers that can be synced together and used to pump out Agadoo on a loop. Just saying

"I hope you brought enough for everyone" I'm asked at my interview. I produce a tray of coffees. "More!" They demand. Iced coffee begins to leak from the orifices of my face, a trickle first, then a torrent. "More! More!" They chant. My head splits, a coffee fountain erupts, the room floods.

All this talk of the exact details of the formation of U2 seem like instructions to time travellers if they wanted to... intervene.

Bringing a full pint of Guinness into an interview and when they ask about it I say "Maybe it's yours, maybe it's mine... Let's see how this goes."

Bewley's, potentially at 7pm is what is being said now. I've seen a photo of outside of Bewley's being absolutely mobbed.

The Grafton St. appearance is still being talked about but I can't imagine they'll be allowed go ahead.

I was considering going to see if I can get a chant of "Bono is a pox" going but it's a lot of effort for me to get there in time and it'll probably end up cancelled now it has leaked.

There's some rumour going that U2 are going to perform on Grafton St. today in a couple hours time.

Someone needs to take the SuperValu head of marketing aside and explain "yes you scan" is an atrocious tagline.

Sharing screenshots of the fash being owned on Twitter is not the win you think it is. You've announced you are still invested in what happens on that tirefire of a site, and anyone who did the owning is invalidated by still being there too. Turn it off!

My favourite description of climate engineer to fix climate change was along the lines of "like releasing a lion when you are being chased by a tiger".

The refinery the Nostromo is tugging across space. The backstory is they'd dragged this thing off to a petrochemical rich planet, filled it up, and by the time they're home it would have been full of refined petroleum products.
