That time you find a chat you had with a young & pure Cork Cillian Murphy talking up his role in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later, still pinching himself that he’s making movies… #cork #28dayslater #CillianMurphy on.soundcloud.com/6PWwEktmfE…

Whatever about sorry #spurs they’re denied clear penalty for handball & keeper clearly impeded (Wilson’s arse stuck in him as corner floats over) ball bounces off Spence who has two hands on his shoulders literally pushing him down, goal should NEVER have counted…very unjust

Always clear that John Collison's article was a pack of lies, based on omissions and misrepresentations. But good to see it demonstrated so comprehensively Every politician who fell over themselves to fawn over it has some serious questions to answer elajucd.com/2025/11/21/on-en…

This article is just an astonishing demolition of John Collison’s recent ill-informed piece that had so many Irish politicians salivating. And that’s without even going into Collison’s risible nonsense about how things like FOI, SIPO, and abolition of dual mandate were bad for getting “sh** done” the way these billionaire tech guys always want it. That is, getting “sh** done” according to their outlook and without regard to the climate crisis or the rights of the public to access the justice system without having millions of euro in the bank. elajucd.com/2025/11/21/on-en…

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

So why is a Limerick called a Limerick and has it got anything to do with Limerick? Thanks to Matthew Potter @LimerickMuseum & various other Treaty City folk for their help on this… @bbboatclub @HermitageGreen on.soundcloud.com/yqqW25nb7e… @RTERadio1 #poetrypeople

I do like their coffee and their ethos.
2024 was good to us. We're a small business of 5 full time staff and 3 part timers. Last summer we decided we were going to stay a small business. We therefore stopped taking on new cafe customers.
