I just bought a safety helmet, complete with visor & ear-muffs, in preparation for using the chainsaw to cut back trees in my garden- obviously, I will now be spending the remainder of my evening re-enacting Beastie Boys videos… 😅

Happy Easter! me posting this picture is a bit of an Easter tradition- & yes, I genuinely think it's hilarious 😂

at the time, I thought all of these guys were so old! I'm now older than the oldest one was then (three of them have even died since) 😳

My pumpkins? Smashing.

whether you're only Irish today, or every day of the year, I wish you a happy Saint Patrick's Day! 💚 unusually, I'm actually off today so may even go for a pint myself 😅

Advertise your accent with a gif

a nice head on that beer 😅

I love flying out of Shannon Airport, only an hour’s drive from Galway- we pulled into the carpark, dropped our bags, through security & airside all within 20mins

I got this in the post last week & I still have no idea what the appointment is for 🤔

The first 3 words you see will define your 2026: Travel, Boobs, Friends

I love this from our work groupchat, my colleagues wishing each other a happy Christmas in their native languages: English, Greek, Irish, French, Italian & German 😊

I’m joining Herself & all the in-laws at their family home in Tipperary later today for a big Christmas dinner- I’m responsible for the gravy 😅 wishing all my friends here a very happy Christmas- have a good one 💚🎶💙

I was walking to work in London that morning when I heard the news on my phone radio. I had seen him live for the first time (with The Mescalaros) just a few years previously. On my way home that evening, I bought a bottle of Jameson, put on my Clash On Broadway cd boxset & gave Joe his send-off.

working in a busy restaurant, last Saturday before Christmas - send thoughts & prayers 🙏 if you're out tonight, be nice to your server & don't forget to tip 😅

Walking into 2026:

my flight back to Dublin this morning was cancelled due to the storm, so I've *another* day in Liverpool 😬

great game, fantastic atmosphere, brilliant result 💙 I enjoyed that 😬 #UTFT

finally getting excited about my weekend trip to Liverpool- I’ll be at Hill Dickinson Stadium tomorrow for the game against Notts Forest, if anyone spots me in my Everton woolly hat, please say ‘hello’ 💙

QTP with an album you'd rate a perfect 10/10

I *did* escape work early & had the privilege of seeing Jah Wobble & his amazing band playing in Galway 🎶🙌🖤

I just need to get through work today, then I'm off for 8 days... if I finish early, I may even get to a gig & a few cheeky pints tonight 🤞

a nice sunny but crisp morning in Galway, so a quick walk through the woods before another evening in the trenches 😎 have a great week, people 🙌

men who wear shorts *and* a woolly hat in November, pick a lane ffs! are you too hot or too cold?

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

57 today, let’s do this! 😬🎂🙌

I haven’t posted one of these in a while, however this was truly delicious: leftover sausage gnocchi from last night, cooked with finely chopped chorizo, topped with two fried eggs, wilted spinach & grated Parmesan 😋👌 #IDontDoCornflakes

great to see NewDad, in front of a partisan crowd, at their hometown show in Galway last night 🎶🖤
