My beautiful daughter made her first holy communion yesterday. All the staff in #KolbeSchool and the Priest made it such a special occasion. #RettSyndromeAwareness

@KellySWhalley @magnumlady Unfortunately true 😭

Don't forget the clocks go forward an hour on the 29th of March so we will have an hour less of rain...

Right in the middle of Norn Iron is Lough Neagh, with many great stories & legends. Finn MacCool the Irish giant, is always at the heart of these tales!

@stellaomalley3 Well done Stella, what were you studying? Deserve sausages and bubby 🥂

I was having a crap day and then just got news that my PhD has been accepted! I’m so thrilled (although it’s hard to believe) So now I’m Dr O’Malley and I can finally say “I’m a doctor and I want my sausages” 😁😁😁 youtu.be/PUaYuVScT04?is…

Rita Moreno is one of just three people to win an Emmy for The Muppets, the other two: Bernadette Peters and Peter Sellers. The comedy timing during her performance of "Fever" while Animal attempts to railroad her is incredible. It was also done in one take "Dat my kinda woman!"

Today we remember Eddie Jordan, who passed away exactly one year ago. Be like Eddie Jordan: • Born in Dublin, quit his bank job at 22 to go racing • Won Irish karting and Formula Atlantic as a driver • Started Jordan Grand Prix in 1991, gave Schumacher his first F1 drive • Put Frentzen, Irvine, Fisichella, Trulli and others on the map • Got 4 Grand Prix wins and 3rd in constructors in 1999 • Famous for loud shirts, banging on spoons and unfiltered shit talking • Sold the team in 2005, turned into one of F1’s most unfiltered pundits • Dealt with prostate cancer in private, died in Cape Town on March 20, 2025, aged 76 • Made F1 louder, brighter and a lot more Irish

@AMLaCassePhoto Oh Alan that’s so wonderful, may well you use, can’t wait to see all your beautiful pictures 🤗

My hands are shaking so badly I can barely type and can't see the keys with the tears. Someone who wishes to remain unknown has bought a laptop for me to edit my photos. It arrived yesterday but my son just dropped it in when he was dropping his gf to work.

You’re calling her reaction “false” just because she was expected to win, as if being the frontrunner somehow makes the moment any less real. Jessie Buckley didn’t come out of industry privilege, she came from a small town in Ireland, got her start on I’d Do Anything, and instead of being uplifted, she was publicly torn down. She didn’t win, she came second, and left that experience feeling humiliated and objectified, with judges like Denise Van Outen and John Barrowman going in on her week after week. The only person who consistently backed her was Andrew Lloyd Webber, who saw something in her long before anyone else was ready to. That belief, alongside Cameron Mackintosh’s support, helped her get into RADA, where she trained rigorously, performed in Shakespeare productions like The Tempest, Henry V, Gabriel, and The Winter’s Tale, the latter produced by Kenneth Branagh, who is notoriously exacting when it comes to Shakespeare and graduated in 2013. After that, she moved to New York with no safety net, scraping together a career, even relying on the generosity of someone who believed in her enough to help cover basic living costs so she could keep going. From there, she built everything step by step, supporting roles in television like War & Peace, a breakout lead in Beast, and then Wild Rose, where it became undeniable that she’s operating on a completely different level as both an actress and a singer. By the time she worked with Renée Zellweger on Judy, the pattern was already clear, serious talent recognized by serious artists, with Zellweger herself publicly saying Buckley was destined to be a star, echoing what Webber saw years earlier. So reducing her to “a bit much” when she finally reaches the peak of that climb is lazy cynicism. You’re inventing a narrative in your head and mistaking it for analysis. Buckley worked for every inch of this, and her reaction was entirely natural because moments like that aren’t planned, rehearsed, or manufactured. They hit all at once. For someone who never even assumed this kind of success was possible, of course it overwhelms you. You say her tears seem fake, but if she’d jumped up and cheered, you’d be calling her cocky and arrogant. You don’t want authenticity, you just want something to nitpick. Funny how she can’t win either way, and even funnier how women so often get dragged for showing any kind of emotion, while men are praised for the exact same reactions. I don’t even like pulling the gender card in arguments like this, but at a certain point it stops being a coincidence and starts looking like a pattern. Those tears were the most honest thing about her when she won, and anyone trying to tear that down says far more about their own cynicism than it ever will about her. Shame on you for reducing a hard earned, deeply human moment into something so cheap and dismissive just because you were upset, for some reason. Just shut the fuck up if you have nothing to say, really. Can't you just be happy about her for once? Let her celebrate for making history 🤷

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day from Bertie & Betty 💚💚

The harp, symbol of #Ireland, is said to have been invented by the #Irish goddess of music, inspiration & dreams, Cana Cludhmor, after she realised the wind on a beach drifting through a whale’s skeleton created beautiful music. #FairyTaleTuesday #StPatricksDay #Celtic
