Trying to calibrate the big shop so I arrive at the checkout at exactly 12:29.

Bohs should let it leak that they're looking to sign some bag of shite, no mark striker, just to see how long it takes for Rovers to also "express interest".

16 minutes, the washing machine said the quick wash would take. I timed it because I knew it was a lying bastard.

A little comic about desire paths.

I'd be very surprised if the Healy-Raes didn't insist on the Sale of Alcohol Act being watered down, so that the liberalisation of pub licenses doesn't happen, as the price of supporting the government.

Sometimes worth taking a break from the bike to enjoy the view.

Seeing various ads for 251 cars. Might be time to reconsider this numbering scheme for reg plates and move to something like "a few letters" plus "a few digits".

Lad will be disappointed he didn't outlive the last guinea worm.

Normally be outraged to only get the #Wordle on line 5. Today that seemed apt.

Favourite weird week of the year coming up…

Oh shit, I've put the dishwasher on "eco". Not seeing anything in there until tomorrow so.

Both the waste and recycling bins are getting dangerously full. And that's before all the shite that people have bought us that I'll be filling them with tomorrow.

Best advent calendar ever.

There's a grand stretch in the evenings now.

Looking forward to a time when all the double-barrel-surname-evangelists get together and have kids. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

This, after we totally legitimately, gave them dix points in the Eurovision. Bloody ingrates. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Fair play to Eoin Hayes, some TDs have to wait years to get a decent scandal under their belt, this one done and dusted in under two weeks. Hard to argue with that level of ruthless efficiency.

I want the ones worn by Fairuza Balk in "Return To Oz". www.theguardian.com/film/2024/de...

There should be a play called “Waiting for Vladimir and Estragon” where a guy called Godot sits around waiting for two guys he was pretty sure were supposed to meet him at his place.

Ah c'mon Micheál. You should at least give RBB the first call for the laugh. www.newstalk.com/news/fianna-...

I like when a joke takes a minute but the payoff is totally worth it

Somehow, Paddy Cosgrave pretending to not lose his shit about the #GE24 result, is considerably funnier than him actually losing his shit about it would've been.

There's not much that'd bring me out on the streets in protest, but any change in our electoral system would be one. And a second preference for no change in our electoral system's running mate.

By my count there will be 19 fadas elected in #ge24, the majority of fadas being SF followed by FF. Padraíg being the most popular fada TD.

Bad election for the "only elected on the X count" crowd. Thoughts and prayers at their difficult time. #GE24

You'd almost feel sorry for the British, at this stage they'd have all their seats filled, and know who the next government will be. Zero craic. Having a system with not even a quarter of the #GE24 seats filled, and only guesses about the government, is vastly superior.

Disappointing that the Electoral Commission didn't just embrace whimsy and make Westmeath and Meath West the one constituency.

Slogan brought to you by a secondary school timetable. #GE24

I hope the Greens getting almost wiped out in #GE24 is a warning to any other party that has notions about actually implementing their manifesto.

The only downside of Clare Daly getting tanked in #DublinCentral is that we won't get to see her do a massive strop at the count centre again. #GE24

Just think, this time tomorrow the #GE24 voting will be done, the exit poll will be published. And we still won't have the slightest clue what the next government will be.
