Today I was talking with an Irish astronomer about the discovery of the first galaxies and I thanked him for helping me with one of the videos I’m working on over here. Then I mentioned one of the other videos is about peat bogs and he was like “my family has a bog, what do you want to know?”

Can your leprechaun, I mean Irish astronomer, be of any technical assistance?
Thanks in advance.
Bog butter.
I saw 'em to.
It was like hog balls. Too big for the rest of him.

Permanent display at the Smithsonian, with occasional travels to other venues such as the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Maybe it's just nostalgia though and to everyone else it's dreadful 🤣
Outer Hebrides is the same - mostly hand dug, not commercial at all. Increased in the last few years with energy prices rising.
Now burned in a multifuel stove instead of an aga or open fire.
Woke: getting bogged

That's freaking cool as hell.
It's like.. 'oh black pudding? I have one right here in my pocket' *pulls out black pudding*
'oops sorry, a bit of pocket stuff on that'
*flicks off leprechaun* there now
The big forest in Kerry is native.
Totally cool, though!
Overall, a worthy hobby to be sure.
He came back to torment the ancestors of those who killed him by luring them to the bog and making them dance every night until they were exhausted.
A rare tree, a rattlin' tree
The tree in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o!
Once we pass 3 Guinness then every single Tom, Dick & Sally is an astronomer so don’t let us yank your chain before you check our credentials 😉
It's like finding gold at the end of the rainbow. How cool is that?
Just let us know how it went 😉
“Oh, I’m also a neurosurgeon”
Edit: phrasing
Is it really common? Or just in the rural areas? Is it just like how we use a boiler? Does it make the house stink or smell different? Are they running out?
peater boggs back then
Easier than getting them off the moor in the first place anyway 😂
