Signor Utile

@AdamPollock Good to know, visited Belfast for the first time recently (and I'm older than you!) and found it very nice. Good luck with the sale! FWIW, I think the price is a steal given the renovation work

@Signor_Utile Like most towns in NI there are paramilitary murals and signs. Never seen any issues, however. My wife’s family are Irish, and plenty of Catholic friends have come here before. Carrickfergus itself is full of tourists from all over, and never any bother.

The Northern Ireland housing market is absolutely bleak. Our house has been listed for sale for a month and we have only had one viewing. 3 bedrooms, fully renovated over the last two years, right by the coast, for under £230,000. Anyone want it?

@robsmithireland @ShiiineOn_ Hahaha yes!

@ShiiineOn_ @Signor_Utile this song always reminds of a certain Julian…

#onthisday in 1993 The Beloved released their blissed out pop classic ● Sweet Harmony Tune.

@EntsPeter @FootballCliches YES

@FootballCliches Thank you. 'Set-piece' as an adjective: hyphen 'Set piece' as a noun: no hyphen Cf 'year-old' vs 'years old'

"Set pieces" does not need to be hyphenated. This is the big crisis of 2025/26

@SamJDean @FootballCliches @Dunmoreorless (Former English teacher, and current language enthusiast)

@SamJDean @FootballCliches @Dunmoreorless Free kicks, not free-kicks (free is a normal adjective, describing the type of kick). Dead-ball specialist and set-piece taker are both correct, as "dead-ball" and "set-piece" are noun modifiers in this context. When nouns, they are dead ball and set piece (as with free kick)

@FootballCliches @Dunmoreorless In "set-piece taker", set-piece is a 'noun modifier' (in essence, an adjective) and *must* be hyphenated. "Set pieces" as a noun does not require a hyphen. For comparison: The man is thirty years old. A thirty-year-old man. Grammar nerd nonsense.

@Dunmoreorless Two of those are correct!

@robsmithireland @revtonybones @fontainesdublin @KNEECAPCEOL Good work, Bob

It gives me enormous pleasure to let you know that myself @revtonybones will be DJing back-to-back in between acts at @fontainesdublin’s massive Belfast show this Friday alongside @KNEECAPCEOL. Gig is sold out. Let us bring the noise!

@robsmithireland Yes!!

@visitcatalonia @BegurEsAutentic @VisitCostaBrava Less than 1 hour by helicopter, maybe. 90 minuts, un diumenge, respectant el límits de velocitat

🌊 The coast of Begur is incomparably beautiful, with its many cliffs, pine trees, coves and crystalline waters.  🚗 Less than 1 hour by car from #Barcelona. #InLOVEwithCatalonia ❤️     📸ℹ️ @BegurEsAutentic @VisitCostaBrava

@FrancescFT Increïble, quina ràbia

Si parlo, m'enrajolen. Ni Chloe Bibby ni Migna Touré. Tot i així, molts noms que han deixat petjada a Europa.

@couldbeworse00 @WUTangKids The subtitles translate what he says for an American audience; he doesn't refer to the US term for sectioning, but to the Italian one (a "TSO", when someone is detained against their will for psychiatric evaluation)

@WUTangKids Hard to imagine an Italian pol knows what a 5150 hold is.

Savage 🤣….please tell me these are real subtitles

@DropsicusCaesar @WUTangKids No loss in translation, the subtitles are spot on

@WUTangKids A fluent Italian speaker will tell you there's some loss in translation, but my rudimentary Duolingo-studying ass can confirm that it's definitely capturing the jist😂😂

@etfelicitofill Xoco amb fruit i xòped, una delicia nadalenca

@jonronson You're most welcome! Love your work!

@Signor_Utile Corrected! Thank you.

I've written a substack about why so many Americans didn't want Luigi Mangioni to be caught, what that says about our relationship with institutions, and where it might be heading... jonronson.substack.com/p/the-shooting…

@phlaimeaux I need more DO'D driving content (especially since my elderly father nearly crashed into you when driving me home from the airport a few weeks back - Mary's Lane, off Church Street - apologies for that!)

@wallmt @kenearlys Hah, thoroughly enjoyed that. Hope you're keeping well, Matt!

@kenearlys laying down some harsh truths. I myself try not to resent Rice, but I think he made the wrong choice. youtu.be/nfLTU2fzwHk?si…

@MisterLovering @mou4friendss @wan_tun_frito @FradeJose Saps utilitzar Google, oi? Posa "comunitat musulmana condemna" i hi veuràs desenes d'exemples. En Moussa no ha de parlar en nom de ningú pel simple fet de compartir religió, igual que quan un català fa una barbaritat no demanem explicacions a tots els catalans. És una ximpleria

@mou4friendss @wan_tun_frito @FradeJose Em pots donar exemples?

He nascut a Terrassa, però els meus pares són d'aquest estat fallit. Visc a Can Tusell, que anomeneu gueto. Compro al Halal de Mohamed. He anat a la pública. Sóc musulmà. Tinc un total de 0 antecedents. Treballo en un laboratori. Tinc un grau universitari. Tu que tens?

@thebeernut Hah! Licence to buy an extra tray of something for your troubles

@Signor_Utile Still mourning the loss of The Brown Pig. Walking all the way to Terenure is a pain.

Glass of Pet Nat at the wine bar around the corner. This isn't the neighbourhood I moved into, but I'll take it.
