He did the county some service šŸ³ļø For a time in the 1990s Kildare GAA was in dreamland with an All-Ireland Final appearance and numerous thrilling Leinster Finals. What a colossus of the game Mick O'Dwyer was. There'll be some wake in the Kingdom this weekend no doubt. RIP.

'Usual howls of protest' - what a patronising and flippant response from a state-funded organisation. The financial burden of these unnecessary labels (found nowhere else in the world) will also severely damage export prospects for Irish breweries, stymie growth, and affect jobs.
Clear articulation of why Ireland is progressing its alcohol health information labelling. Usual howls of protest from vested interests about these common sense measures. Time to put the consumer first and provide the facts not just myths on the bottle. irishtimes.com/opinion/lette…

In Black Doves, Keira Knightly goes out in the middle of the night, gets blown out of a flat into a canal, goes home, fights and kills a bloke, goes back to bed, not a bother. I'll get up to get a glass of water, dogs start barking, I drop the glass, everyone's awake and angry.

In the Q in Supervalu today my 6 year old saw a picture of the Monk and asked why all the fuss. ā€œApparently he is a gangster and he is trying to get into the Dailā€ ā€œBut aren’t all the gangsters already in the dailā€ Everybody stopped what they were doing and started clapping

The audacity of the current govt parties with their hollow election promises. The weakness of the main opposition. If the campaigning & TV debates are anything to go by, there's little on offer. Word salads all round. No wonder people are disillusioned! Vote randomers in GE24.

Barely a few days into the campaigning and this general election has gone full Veep.
It was a political dance-off in Monaghan town today. Fine Gael’s Simon Harris and Sinn FĆ©in’s Mary Lou McDonald both visited local shop Sound Quality Gifts within hours of each other, both joining in for some jiving. #GE2024 | @newschambers @PaulQuinnNews

"But we laughed about it the way most couples do when they look back in wonder that they ever made it this far." I have to say I really do enjoy @Bill_Linnane articles like this. Sorry for your troubles Bill. For the record, F#A#āˆž is a masterpiece. independent.ie/life/family/f…

Lovely feature about Inchicore in the Indo today, complete with silly picture of our marketing manager Joe holding the Tayter Swift pizza, named after... yes, Taylor Swift. Nice interviews with Inchicore residents and business owners. Check it out šŸ‘‡ independent.ie/regionals/dub…

Random shot in the dark here, but there's an Irish fellow does great impressions (Pat Spillane, Des Cahill and the like) and I've seen them pop up on TikTok and Reels. Continuous vids where he switches between characters. He's not Al Foran or Conor Moore. If anyone knows..? Thnx!

Nine years after the release of In Colour - one of the best albums of that decade - Jamie xx is back with In Waves. The album features collabs with Robyn, The Avalanches and Panda Bear. It's really great stuff so it is. open.spotify.com/album/57MSB…

The Ploughing? Man, I haven't heard that name in years. (Well, one year.) Yeah I remember The Ploughing. Remnants of humanity clinging to survival. Paranoia gripping the minds of the desperate, pushing many to madness. Each day a fight against starvation, savagery, and despair.

Bot Swallows Universe is one of the best series I've seen in a long time. It's fairly dark in places but a great story, great cast, and dotted with humour and comic moments.
