PSA Fanta still has sugar in France. It is drinkable! Going to check the Orangina next, if that has sugar I may just have to move here.

Still getting shocked by realising events I thought were a year or two ago were actually a decade or so ago.

I used to be with "it". Then they stopped having just one "it". Now what’s "it" varies by algorithm, and whatever you're with might feel like "it" — but it's not even on my radar. Your "it" is only for you!

Working from home. Beer fridge to the right of me. Patio to the left of me outside. Watching that clock closely for the second it feels appropriate to put both into use.

At this point I just need to unsubscribe from any YouTube channel that posts a "Short". Most YouTube viewing occurs on a tv, they look absolutely ridiculous and take up most of the screen when I am browsing my Subs tab.

@rickoshea.bsky.social of course it's from Mannequin! How can you listen to that song and not picture Andrew McCarthy on a giant swinging sign! Mickey Thomas' attempt to look surprised at a mannequin turning into Grace Slick. And Kim Cattrall with her "oh you" eye roll.

I'm in the office, @rickoshea.bsky.social is playing Pianoman, and I just want to throw back my head and scream "sling us a web, you're the Spider-Man"

I said Mrs. Winder you don't have to look so sad! She says it's not easy to cope when the weather's bad, the weather's bad.

Just finished this one by @andreacarter.bsky.social and had a thought. Given that I’m 43 and went to Patrician College Ballyfin, would I have been classmates to some of those characters?

The summer of 1995 was 30 years ago and I’m not ok with that.

I love the smell of bitumen in the morning! Nice to see something concrete (eh asphalt?) after the disruption caused by the DART closure over the weekend. Sydney Parade level crossing is looking well. Well done Irish Rail.

Still trying to name that middle-aged version of a teenage crush — you’re happily partnered, life’s good, but then you meet someone whose brain just clicks with yours and think: God, I’d love for them to cohost my podcast!

When it comes to rugby it’s the hope that kills you, so at least this year I don’t have the hope anymore! On the positive side, it’s the first time I’ve lost my voice after a game in many years. #Leinster

If every 20 minutes the internet faded to black and we were presented with 30s ads for Coco Pops or the Daz Doorstep challenge I think we’d be a lot more accepting of internet advertising.
