Spicy MN Gov! 😆 COURIER has compiled the 20,000 documents from Epstein's estate, released by the US House Oversight Committee on November 12, 2025, into an easily searchable repository. Find something interesting? Let us know: [email protected] journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

"The name "TGJones" is not derived from an individual, but was invented by Modella Capital to sound similar to "WHSmith" (named after William Henry Smith) and thereby continue the implication of being a family business." Soulless corporate guff.

New day. New un-evidenced & easily disproved claim about #Planning & #housing This is every day #6 Headline “Surge in objections, board facing record number of judicial reviews” Text “recent slowdown in JRs means number between this year & last are equalising” www.businesspost.ie/companies/su...

The Pope is clearly a BluRay guy.

I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise, given we're now on the third or fourth Commission attempt to pretend Max Schrems never happened. 👉 www.brusselstimes.com/1835654/secr...

I like pigs and wish them to be happy.

feed some acorns to a pig if anyone is in the mood to hear a pig happily crunching on an acorn

The "yellow garters" scene with Malvolio is WILD. youtu.be/zobQymZgbrA?...

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! The production of TWELTH NIGHT with Lupita Nyong’o, Junior Nyong’o, Peter Dinklage, Sandra Oh, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Daphne Rubin-Vega is now on the PBS app!!!! www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/t...

Went through a phase of buying little red tops; at one stage I had 11 in rotation. Husband started calling me “Tabloid”.

In a queue for a gig. Three young lads with gel in their hair wearing designer gear stroll to the front thinking they can charm their way in. It failed. As they slunk to the back of the queue an Irish voice from the queue was heard shouting "Get to fuck, Hollyoaks."

A good number of years ago I had to walk up to Glasnevin cemetery from Phibsborough to attend a funeral. I was wearing all black and I guess the jacket was a tad military-esque. This group of lads see me and start singing "Welcome to the black parade" it genuinely made me laugh.

Met two friends in my favourite sunny yellow coat, with new multicoloured, stripey scarf and hat to hear, "You look like a bowl of custard with hundreds and thousands on top" 😂

I was wearing a luminous high-vis yellow running jacket, waiting to be served in a shop, and the fella said, “sorry I didn’t see you there”. Still makes me laugh today.

Wore a hand-me-down leather jacket to school once and got called Fonzie for the remainder of my tenure. If I walked past people in the hall they just gave me two thumbs up and said "Aaaaayy!"

At my own brother’s funeral 20 years ago. After the burial my Auntie stood beside me to provide moral support as people paid their respects to the family as they left the graveyard. One of my friends comes along the line wearing sunglasses and she whispers to me, “Look, here comes Bono”

Early on in my managerial career, I decided to wear a sweater vest over a shirt thinking I was pulling off a look of comforting authority. Ended up being called Father Dougal for the next 8 hours. That was 18 years ago and I haven't worn a sweater vest since.

One time I decided to change things up and wore my hair in pigtails (Rachel in Friends was even doing it, surely it was acceptable!?!), was called Pippy Longstockings before I’d even left the house (thanks Dad) and about 1,000 times more that day. Wore them again for YEARS out of sheer spite!

when I was living in London my Irish colleague got the entire office to call me Footballer Hair after a particularly bold haircut.

Wore a waistcoat while speaking in the Dáil. By the time I sat down, a certain Labour Party TD had sent me a number of pictures of famous snooker players.......

I was in Galway on vacation from America. I liked to go out with my hair done, jeans and nice heel boots. I walked into the pub and the old gents at the bar said “check out Charlie’s Angels over there”

i wore a striped sweater to work. My friend Michelle said, "You look just like that guy on TV. I am not sure what his name is. Either Bert or Ernie."

Bought a really lovely mustard jumper and made the colossal mistake of wearing it with a pair of black jeans and boots. Spent the day being called Captain Kirk and haven’t worn it since. Wouldn’t mind but I’m a middle aged woman. Tbf, I totally got it after the first remark.

i lived in dublin for years doing my grad degree and i was once flying from dublin to los angeles in december to visit my now-wife it was going to be pretty warm in LA so i wore shorts to the airport and a man coming out of the duty-free shop asked me if i needed help finding the rest of my pants

My favourite post from the oul Twitter thread was the woman who wore a purple cape to a family funeral and her brother referred to her as Bishop Brennan thereafter 😆

Family and I went for Sunday Lunch at Harvey' Point (IYKYK) and there was a woman head to to in pink gingham, polka dots and frills. Blonde ringlets. And I heard someone say yer wan's in looking about her sheep.

I was at a metal clubnight in Manchester wearing this jacket. The Irish guy queuing at the bar next to me loudly says to the barmaid "Nah, Judge Dredd here was ahead of me"

Said this the last time around but in my late teens i played football with a lad who's friends all called him 'Moses' because he wore sandals once, when he was 9. Still dont know his real name to this day...

wore a bandana one day to keep the hair out of my eyes and was immediately met with "alright, daniel-san?" when I got to college

Went for coffee with mate wearing short sleeve short under suit jacket. Took off jacket in cafe and my mate says to waitress, "I'll have a latte, I don't know what Sipowicz here wants though!"

For the Irish people watching, he actually came back and took another shot at it with, “You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t listen to the Man from Del Monte”

A middle aged Irish woman approached me at a pub and told me I looked like Michael Fassbender, then asked if I even knew who he was. I said of course, he’s a very famous and good looking actor, and she rolls her eyes and goes “oh, he’s not that good looking” and turns heel

My sister came down in a pair of fairly tight jeans once and said "do these make my bum look big" and my father peered over the newspaper and says "No, that was the burgers".

Wore an ill-advisedly wide-brimmed hat into the old, much better and now defunct Foggy Dew pub. Despite removing it pretty much immediately, when I was up to get a round like 30min later the barman said "hold on there Mr Sandeman" before taking my order. Hat was binned, obviously.

Getting my hair cut in Garvey’s in Limerick in the old times while wearing a exceedingly bright green jumper. “ First time I’ve had the lawn come to me to be cut.” Fucking SCENES.

Was wearing black jeans, white tshirt and a Grey flannel shirt in college and the young woman I was chatting to casually asked if I was looking forward to getting to the colourful land of Oz some day

At a family wedding, my uncle was making introductions to the distant relatives. One cousin wore a red dress, my uncle says "and this is Aine, as you can see, she eats Special K"

On his first day!

Oh boy. It’s the 2025 watch prizes! Here we go- there are more winners than the Oscar’s so this is a bit of a thread. We start at the top- the grand prize winner, for people who would like an expensive watch but are so rich it doesn’t matter what the actual time is.

Great. Someone’s invented a clock that will eventually hatch into some terrible time demon.

Listen, while I have been posting watch nonsense on here, my wife has been doing a mad fundraiser in Coolock Village’s women’s gym. They’ll be fitnessing all day, raising money for a local charity before Christmas. If you had a spare €5 or €10 please do chip in: www.gofundme.com/f/annual-xma...

This is my current favourite. Not only does the picture *not* show any of the fine components - the tourbillon really is beautiful - or mention that it luminesces, but the nomination video mostly celebrates that it does the Weeble wobble and doesn’t fall down. youtu.be/Vz14mzFDZxc

And also looks weirdly like the thing I have for debobbling woolly jumpers.

It's a managerial elite. Over the past decades they've heard many times "that's not possible" and "computers don't work that way." But this is presented as just a thing that you delegate to and it figures out the details. They *get* that.

I wonder if the agenda-setting success of the AI CEOs, apart from the money they spend on it, isn't also because a generation that has never understood tech, still doesn't, and is still in power have the impression that they understand this one.
