Quietly satisfied right now… 18, 23, 37… year old me absolutely ecstatic

Drive on the left, walk on the right. A simple system, yet it’s beyond the comprehension of people in Cork.

With all the fash in Dublin today, could we persuade someone to nuke the place?

Anything with ‘united’ in its name is bad, no exceptions.

I *think* there’s been the start of a vibe shift against the right the last few weeks. The hopeful explanation is that people are finally seeing what they’re selling and don’t like it. But more likely it’s because the nasty are turning on the stupid because the stupid are costing them money.

My folks own a pub and Good Friday was my second favourite day of the year after Christmas when I was small because it meant both my parents were off all day and I could run around in the empty bar and have a pint of splash coke sitting at the counter like I was an oul lad drinking stout.

Cork somehow getting away with inflicting this guy on England

The biggest error the post Civil War government made was not splitting Cork in three.

I’ve watched most of the live LOI matches on Virgin Media and I’ll tell you now there’s zero correlation between the quality of the football and the increase in attendances.

It’s funny how the hoi polloi either have no agency at all or full autonomy, depending on how you feel about something.

The coalition of the nasty and the stupid won. The rest of us are just left wondering what happens when the stupid start ruining things for the nasty.

A few years ago, we had a CEO who made a series of bad decisions. All were dutifully filtered down through the management ranks to us plebs, with any dissent from the plebs stomped on. After he was ousted, the very same managers chortled through the tales of his errors and incompetencies…

Just wait the idiots out.

A *website for people who collect Transformers* explains better in one paragraph why this is all nonsense than the average serious news organisation.

Humouring idiots is the root cause.

He was always a wrong one, this lad

It’s understandable that lots of people fell for the Woke free speech gender whatever drivel. It was everywhere people looked, often all they ever heard. Nonetheless, if you fell for any bit of it, you now need to reflect on how you were taken in and the uses that your credulity are being put to.

🚨 Foster and Allen on 1982 TOTP 🚨 Jesus, the garb…

In the last three years I have gone from subscribing to multiple sports podcasts to getting rid of them all* and playing, e.g., even the free Second Captains football pod with liberal presses of the skip ahead button. Just unoriginal and uninteresting. *The Dundalk pods are exempt from this post.

A *Labour* government slashing welfare payments and spending most of the money ‘saved’ on weapons, while ruling out tax rises, is something else. Might as well not bother with an election when they’re done and hand the keys over to Farage.

New print! 2 colour linocut on beautiful Awagami Kitakata paper, approx A3 in size. Edition of 10 and each one was handprinted so they’re all slightly different with their own quirks. On sale now! Any shares greatly appreciated as well. prayforpatrick.etsy.com/listing/1892...

I’m have had wasps in my house twice in the last week and now there’s wasps buzzing my pint. It’s March ffs.

What if everyone being silenced was a good thing?

There are several Sinn Fein supporting posters, who are also good when it comes to the fash, that go instantly quiet when the shinners start dog whistling.

AI graveyards where you stand on a pad and have a chat with a hologram of your loved one that rises from the grave.

Wikipedia is probably the internet’s greatest triumph, so of course it’s on the fash hit list.

Today is the day that I have lived half my life in Cork and worked half my life for my employer. I marked it out a while back and now, here I am.

Liverpool winning the league is all I cared about this season anyway.

The excitement generated by the winning of a corner is inversely proportional to the likelihood of a goal being scored from it.

Hah! Zing!!

journalists: hey guys, please read my piece in today’s newspaper, “why your family ought to be killed”. also journalists: wow, a lot of people angry at me for supposedly saying their family “ought to be killed”, maybe feels like they didn’t even read the piece

Rugby is 30 lads being choreographed by a referee. You could just watch Fame instead.

Ursula von der Leyen is a moron

Me and the voyagers are the same age, so when bits of them stop working it’s like when I finally accepted I needed reading glasses and my knees started to fail.

Apart from anything else, the quotes I’ve seen prove once again that he’s an idiot. Just an incurious, pigshit-thick idiot. That should matter in commentator world but 🤷
