Boiling the ham in Cidona cos fuckit it’s Christmas #Spéirghorm

Finally. Someone did it :) Perfect present for the da in your lives. Or the you or me :)

Shay Byrne reading Bilbo’s poem ‘I sit beside the fire and think’ and playing Annie Lennox’s ‘Into the West’ on radio one was a lovely way to wake up this morning :)

@philipoconnor.bsky.social are you after going on Mooney goes wild and starting a row?? 🤣🤣

Don’t walk to Dunne’s. Run. This stuff is fucking delicious. #Spéirghorm

Awful awful lot of Irish politicians and the big three parties finding themselves on the same side as Nigel Farage on this one. And others. They shouldn’t be allowed forget it.

Cannot wait to open this

Big box of 19 more Discworld books just arrived and the Compleat mappe of Ankh-Morpork, (which is bloody huge and insanely detailed and already laughing at some of the ads for local taverns and vendors and wossnames in the guide) Measuring for shelf(s) and only need to find the last 13 books..

@liliansmith.bsky.social first time I’ve heard Fairytale this Christmas. Somehow! Happy Christmas to you and yours Lilian 💚

We have a winner :)

whoever runs RTEs socials is on the sherry

You’ll never be stuck looking for wonders in middle aisle in Lidl

Christmas present to myself. Showing remarkable restraint in not opening it until Christmas morning.

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

Really? I wonder what could have possibly brought that on? And no it wasn’t the deaths mentioned.

Back to the future and Goonies happy memories. But this is the main movie I remember seeing when I was 10. And trauma isn’t a big enough word. Doesn’t bode well for 2026

Empire Magazine name Andor as the TV show of 2025 #AndorAStarWarsStory #EmpireMagazine #StarWars #FanthaTracks Andor tops the Empire Magazine list of the best TV shows of 2025.

Outta the box perfect. 10/10 Viennese :) better than the original and cheaper

There is so much, much more to read in kids’ books than Walliams or Rowling. It’s an embarrassingly rich world. Check out @louiestowell.bsky.social or @nadiashireen.bsky.social or any number of glorious, funny, heartfelt titles. You’ve got such treats in store without spending blood money.

Blagging my way into the press screening a day before the official release date and loving the film to bits and losing my mind having to STFU and say nothing cos I wasn’t spoiling it for anyone. They aced it though. The cast especially.

The absolute rage this photo must be giving the lads at the Irish times and all their centrist dads to the far right melts and all points in between #Spéirghorm

Ah that’s a loss to radio. He’s a great broadcaster and lovely company for many

Peadar Tobin and Brenda Power among constant contributors to Rte and radio one to be housed on Rte grounds for reasons of convenience and cost saving measures on taxi fares

@mrjamesob.bsky.social mystery hour stewards enquiry-you’ll notice the king is pushing the tap forward topping up his pint on the second pour after letting it settle, which is the correct way to do it. And then some Irish history for you. Guinness isn’t as loved in Dublin as you think! :)

@tigger1962.bsky.social @denisebreen.bsky.social lads. Either of you be interested in about 80 video tapes of TNG? these seem to have two episode per tape? Wasn’t asking the fella. They were very high up.

They never even asked permission from Trinity and stole the exact design of the Long Library to become the Jedi archives. But just you try to use a Star Wars droid or ship design or even a font to sell a tshirt to fund your podcast and oh boy you’ll be cease and desisted into oblivion

in 2017, as Enda Kenny approached fifteen years as leader of Fine Gael, Leo Varadkar positioned himself for the leadership by attacking people on welfare in 2025, as Micheál Martin approaches fifteen years as leader of Fianna Fáil, Jim O'Callaghan is doing the same with migrants

Lost all my Discworld books in the fire. Then 2 weeks ago saw one (MORT) in a charity shop with the original cover and said fuckit. Then a bit of digging on adverts and wallah! These arrived today, And another 19 coming tomorrow from @thebookshopie.bsky.social Happy days :) need an entire new shelf

Fair play Uachtaráin Connolly coming out to meet Moglaí bap from kneecap and everyone that did the jog to the Áras from dalymount and back. He’s raising funds for kids in Palestine. #Spéirghorm

The scam calls have us all paranoid. Wouldn’t answer this as I don’t recognise it but. it’s ipsos doing a poll according to the voicemail? They haven’t called me in years if it is them. Never answering my phone again if I don’t know the number.

Easily 300 people in the queue for the kneecap / Bohs jersey. Thankfully a different queue if you just want the poster and the poitín :)

I don't say this lightly: our Minister for Justice is an absolute danger

No affordable housing being built and obscene rents are the actual threat to social cohesion but Jim knows this of course and is just using a bit of tired but blatant racism to make noises like these as hes on manoeuvres to take out Micheál Martin. #Spéirghorm

Oh my god. It gets worse! *this charity shop is on the border of Monto, funnily enough

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most. Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

bank statement..Jaysis. If I ever go for a loan, I’ll have some job explaining that’s a charity shop and nothing more..

Went to Belfast for a weekend away with my wife. Saw a parade going past and assumed it would a great Gay Pride event. It turns out I know very little about Northern Ireland and the orange people don't want to be joined by lesbians. That said, we had a lovely weekend.

This cunt

Fine Gael, of course, arduous defenders of Irish sovereignty - such as when they unquestioningly implemented Troika austerity, and ratified Ireland's joining of CETA at 1am, allowing private corporations to sue us for protecting our climate, jobs, etc. #spéirghorm #ireland

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.
