RIP Pat Ingoldsby a much loved poet. Connected with people of all ages. Probably the first real life poet many of us saw as kids on TV or on the streets of Dublin selling his poetry collections.

I have been writing this thing on Substack for well over a year now. It’s free to subscribe to. This was chapter 1…. open.substack.com/pub/paulpage...

A brilliant album that is perhaps more relevant now than it was when it was released almost 30 years ago - ‘Heartworm’ by Whipping Boy - a radio documentary that I made a few years ago feat: @pagep195.bsky.social & others m.soundcloud.com/rte2fm/the-s...

Spotted in Dublin this time last year….😬

Nothing to see here….👀

£600m somewhere in the landfill… you would be sickened. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Two listens in: it’s their best in a while. Great album 👌

😢😢

Took up online chess during the pandemic. After an initial burst where I seemed to improve rapidly, a slow & steady decline set in - the more I played, the worse I got. Even he gave me a good game. Long story short, I don’t play chess anymore.

Very few films made such a big impression on me as this…. RIP David Lynch.

Every time I set foot outside on days like today, I am 100% focused on making sure I don’t make the sequel to this. Always some bollox with a camera just waiting to capture the shame. And then make it an annual source of glee for the rest of the world.

This was always going to happen. Sore and bloody, but I am in love 🩵 #Heartworm #WhippingBoy #ShatteredHeart @pagep195.bsky.social

Always enjoy the annual chat with @klaher.bsky.social reflecting on the passing of yet another year. Some of the music that inspired & excited during 2024….

Spent the last week feeling absolutely miserable with the flu. This has kept me going - hugely entertaining, funny & honest telling of the story of one of the greatest bands of the 80s. Highly recommended.

Haven’t seen anything on BS to rival the majesty of this reply tweet. The finest of 2024.

Lucille Clifton…

The Hugh Grant of ‘Four Weddings & a Funeral’ is a distant memory… Really enjoyed creepy Hugh so much more. Good movie. 👍

When you are on the nice list at Christmas …

Clearing the head in a post Christmas fog…

Essential Christmas viewing….

Dress it up whatever way you like, but if you hunt animals for pleasure you are a prick. A disgusting, entitled piece of human trash.

The best thing on TV this Christmas by some distance …saw it in the cinema but watched again last night on @tg4.bsky.social - such a beautiful film.

Happy Christmas to you & yours…..have a good one.

It’s that time of the year again when sightings in the wild are more common….be vigilant.

Truth….

Christmas: better in the eighties…

This is on RTE tonight at 9.35am. Don’t miss it. Real stories, real lives - not the picture perfect version of Christmas. Saw it at the cinema last year, and left feeling very grateful for everything I have. youtu.be/CC30lDovZu4?...

No tinsel, no sleigh bells… Just one of the most beautiful ‘Christmas’ songs ever. Phoebe Bridgers’ interpretation of ‘Day After Tomorrow’, a song written byTom Waits…. open.spotify.com/track/67vdvR...

Some alternative Christmas tunes…. open.spotify.com/playlist/74p...
