I have, on occasion, had the odd little tipple but it never once caused me to want to burn people in their sleep.

The planning people want to crack down on AirBnBs and also allow everyone to have a 40sqm glamping pod in their garden with no planning. www.rte.ie/news/2025/02...

Them: Why doesn't this data import I am doing work? Me: Data looks fine, do you get an error message? Them: Yes. Me: . . . Me: Could you let me know what it was? Them: Oh, I didn't think that kind of gobbledegook was important. Me: Could you let me know what it was?

AND ANOTHER THING, I'm pissed because I don't have the capacity to tackle every issue (because it's a freaking fire hose right now). Any lawyers in the DC area want to help (on or off screen)? Crim law experience preferred by not required.

Half-expect Trump to make a proposal for lasting peace in the north of Ireland by inviting over Scottish Protestants to establish plantations.

Hard to keep up with the news these days. Apparently the leader of the USA wants to take Greenland and name it after his favourite crayons.

It would appear to be an attempt to SWAT someone, which is a little unusual for these parts.

I suspect this is going to be a lasting sillyness on maps for evermore. Changing it back isn't going to win any votes.

Or to put it another way; 766,000 individual faults, the biggest ever outage that the ESB has ever faced, caused by the most destructive storm since rural electrification, all but 1,500 reconnected after two weeks. #SpéirGhorm

This appears to be the risqué drag show that Trump can't cope with. Saucy. youtu.be/lhxBCbml10M?...

And this mornings crazy is that Trump once got scared and confused by Widow Twankey and will now use the power of the state to take over the theatre in order to stop them from doing Panto again. Oh yes he did. www.kennedy-center.org/kennedy-cent...

Not delighted, but I think #laikaparty has a lot of votes in it. Nordics, baltics, dog people etc. #latelate #eurovision sounds like a spoof Eurovision song from fire saga.

I now have battery backed home fiber optic internet, including the thing that converts from fiber to ethernet, the Eir broadband router and the wifi mesh access point. All now powercut proofed for quite a lot of hours. #speirgorm #StormEowyn

Are today's speed limit changes making you angry? Well, you likely should be annoyed at those who are spreading misinformation irishcycle.com/2025/02/07/a...

Is that "DEI musical in Ireland" actually referring to Hamilton? It did play in 2024 in Dublin, and would be the sort of thing that could pick up 70k in grants for something or other. www.bordgaisenergytheatre.ie/show/hamilton/

I remember when people thought that EU regulators were being paranoid when they said PII of EU citizens could not be transferred to US servers. Not such a bad move after all, was it?
