The new pope puts on his vestments in The Room of Tears which is the best name ever for a fitting room.

The only chart needed for today's news on road deaths and the law:

Favourite part of the In Our Time podcast is at the end when the guest who had been speaking with authority about quantum mechanics or the marginal tax rate prior to the An Lushan rebellion gets all fluttery when asked if they want tea.

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.” @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

Friend of mine is training up a new assistant in his job at a stencil factory. I'd say he'll have his work cut out for him.

Ok I know there's nothing more boring than someone else's dream but my dream last night was a mash up of Silo and Fraggle Rock with a hidden Doozer civilisation living between the floors and I honestly think it has potential.

"Ottering, not othering!"

Too many "you're doing it wrong" / false accusations / doxxing of comrades / silencing people on your side through bullying and harassment etc etc destroys the movement. The old "united we stand, divided we fall" is ever more important to remember.

Regardless of topic or guest, the bit in every In Our Time podcast episode where they are asked if they want tea is the The Most English Moment Ever.

Some ridiculously Aprilly April showers doing the rounds at the moment. So clichéd and predictable. Do better.

Seven tenths of a Scaramucci #tarriffs

As time has gone on, I've started having more admin dreams. Not all are anxious like the one where I'd forgotten to include an item before starting the washing machine. Last night, I dreamt I was pleased about including a QR code on a poster.

I really dislike the phrase "bullcrap" . It's bullshit. It's been bullshit since bulls first shat.

This is funny. A woman finds her own wedding DVD has made it to the "Charity Shop Shit" Facebook page.

In case anyone in Ireland is wondering when this spell of fine weather is going to end, I've just put away The Big Coat So ... any minute now.

Only way to get trump to roll back on tarriffs is to tell him that by tanking the US and global economy he is the president who has done the most to fight climate change.

My intern has worked out on a spreadsheet that I am running a massive trade deficit with my dentist. This ends now. From today, I am putting a 50% tarriff on all dental work he does for me. Yes, my teeth may fall out in the short term, but trust me, they'll grow back.

I've turned my back on and lost those that I love so many times. I wish I could figure out why. It hurts so much when they're not in my life any more and I have to start again. And by "those" I mean nice pens.

Pleased to say I have reached the age where I do exactly one enormous unexplained sneeze every day.

Adam Scott should be nominated twice for an Emmy, for his innie and outie. Then have to debate via camcorder who should win it.

A week to go - half the tickets gone. Let's sell it out! Adding the brilliant Breda Hegarty to the line up! Despite the tariffs and trade wars the price is still only 10 euro! The local comedy gig in Kilmainham D8 that's been running since 2010 www.eventbrite.ie/e/inn-jokes-...

Fucking hell. ADOLESCENCE. (the tv show not the stage. Though it has scared the shite out of me about the stage.)

Friend of mine is starring in a movie as a mediaeval torturer. He did very well. In fact he played a blinder.

Credibility shot to shreds this morning as it wasn't as cold as I thought and my child's coat was too warm. I feel it will be difficult to push through any further coat legislation in this term.

Kyle Hayes is heading down a slippery slope that could only end up in one place: An endorsement from Elon Musk.

My sold out gig for parents with babies at the Patriots Kilmainham. Comedy in the morning for the parental leavers. Youngest audient was the delightfully named Banba at 3 weeks www.tickettailor.com/events/colmoregan/1618424 First friday of the month. Spread the word as my audience go back to work!

when you're taking training at 3 but you need to bust this case wide open by lunchtime.

The Wheel of Time is back, which means it's time for Irish people to laugh as characters say words like "Trollocks" and "Heroes of the Horn" with absolute seriousness.

I'm tired of people expecting me to do the things I volunteered and promised to do.
