without saying your age, post your favourite film that was released the year you turned 18

should be a good night 💙 #UTFT

despite the "the people of Ireland support the fuel protestors" rhetoric commonly seen on social media, this excellent article takes a more in depth look at what's really going on- worth a read #Spéirghorm

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 😅

Add a letter, ruin a song Love Me Dog

got to give them props for doing business with him

out with Herself for dinner last night- you should have seen her when her sizzling chicken platter was put on the table 😅

when you have doubts about Christmas...

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 🤔

Who are your top 10 all time favourite vocalists? Real quick off the top of my head… Elizabeth Frasier Cathal Coughlan Harriet Wheeler Terry Hall PJ Harvey John Grant Tracy Thorne Tom Smith Sinead O'Connor Guy Garvey

a nice crisp day in Galway for a brisk walk before work 😎

we wish you a merry Christmas & a galvanic new year... 🤔

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 🎶🖤

This is how I’m going to look every time someone dislikes one of my posts.

consider this a Halloween public service announcement, courtesy of Podge & Rodge 💚🖤

earlier today, I exited a shopping centre in Galway to see a full arch rainbow 😊

a productive morning, trimming hedges & mowing the North Lawns at Lynch Towers #lifegoeson

my father passed away peacefully in his sleep this morning, my mother, his wife of 59 years, at his side- he was just weeks away from his 89th birthday- RIP Dad

a great night of indie nostalgia, watching The Wedding Present in Cork 🙌🎶😊

another magical night in Roisín Dubh, Galway- this time in the company of Tom Smith performing his solo material, as well as Editors’ songs- very capably supported by Nick Willes, both lovely chaps! 😬

Wild Flower Watch: lots of flowers now, as well as two very tall stalks that have no flowers- more like young trees than flowers, however I still enjoy seeing the growth

Herself has a calendar in the kitchen for our days off, planned events etc. I recently added a few gigs I’m going to & she asked why I’d written in The Wedding Present a full month after our wedding anniversary 🤔 however, she was relieved to discover that, in November, I will not become a New Dad 😂

Traditional Irish Toffee? that’s me… 💚💙

seams legit...

I really could have done with another few hours sleep, however the lawnmower man had other ideas... 😳

Slightly diminish a band: Mediocre Furry Animals

a beautiful sunny day today, went with the Mediterranean vibes this evening & did my twist on a ‘seafood paella’- took it up a notch by dining ‘al fresco’, or ‘having notions by eating in your back garden’, as it’s known in Galway 😅
