@mcandidate So it came out, and you judged it fairly. Why would they apologise? 🤷🏻‍♂️

we're going to need written apologies from the "you're so negative, judge it when it's come out 🙄🙄" crew

@JamesNelson1993 Two of them were on Taskmaster, one of the biggest prime time comedy shows of the last 20 years.

Saturday Night Live UK with absolutely no one anyone has ever heard of 😂 can’t see it lasting long… #skyone

@MattJury_Law How's that working out for you?

For those perhaps surprised by a Dublin Court today awarding Gerry Adams €100,000 in damages against the BBC for defamation, there is one more case to come. Next March 2026, our clients, British victims of the IRA’s mainland bombing campaign, will go to trial in London to prove Adam’s responsibility for those terrorist atrocities. A defamation case against the BBC before a jury in a Dublin court is very different to facing the victims of the IRA in the High Court in London, who are seeking truth and accountability for Adams’ alleged leadership role in and responsibility for the Troubles and, specifically, a terrorist mainland bombing campaign that murdered and maimed thousands of innocent civilians.   Although Adams may have won against the BBC today, witness after witness has now come forward to challenge him, and there are more to follow.  The High Court case next year will reveal in court what the victims believe Adams has sought to conceal from history If you would like to support the victims’ action, you can do so at the link below 👇🏻

@Crazylegs67 @KeithP_Williams @theiaincameron You're a fucking idiot.

@brenjamin @KeithP_Williams @theiaincameron Nah, that's the Irish Free State. The correct Ireland has 32 counties as you well know

Here is a clear and jargon-free (coughs) description of the differences between, Britain, Great Britain, the U.K., Ireland, and the British Isles. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇪 Scotland, England, and Wales make up Britain (or Great Britain). This is the larger of the two islands. The United Kingdom (UK) is Britain and a country of the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland) together. Ireland is, as we have said, the other island. But Ireland itself is made up of two countries: The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This odd situation is compounded by a good many Northern Ireland residents who insist on calling themselves British. (We’ll leave the politics of that out of this post…) Both the islands of Ireland and Britain combined are called the British Isles in a geographic sense. But this framing is contested by many Irish residents, who dislike the term British, for exactly the same reason that some Northern Irish folk love it. Following so far? Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all have individual national soccer teams. In rugby, however, Ireland play as one team. Confused? It gets worse. At the Olympics, athletes from Northern Ireland can represent Team Ireland or Team Great Britain (there is no U.K. Olympic team). Oh, and let us not forget the Isle of Man. Despite being slap-bang in the middle of Northern Ireland and Great Britain, it doesn’t form part of the U.K., but it is in the British Isles. Happy to have cleared all that up.

@Crazylegs67 @KeithP_Williams @theiaincameron The is no such country as the Republic of Ireland. The correct name for the country, with 26 counties, is Ireland or Éire if you are speaking or writing in Irish.

@KeithP_Williams @theiaincameron The landmass you mean. The correct name for the ROI is the ROI. The country of Ireland is the whole island and that hasn't existed since pre partition. The current Free State known as the ROI is not Ireland

@Castademon89 @5tevieM *correct 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Castademon89 @5tevieM Corrwct, the show that hasn't aired yet is quite clearly TERRIBLE. Ye daft cunt.

A person: there’s no tv sketch comedy anymore Same person: this new tv sketch comedy show that hasnt aired yet is shit. I will also give it one episode max before I decide it’s irredeemable and slag it off online, leaving no room for improvement/ development of any future shows

@AllLoveLeeds @cquilty52 That's usually how the costume and wardrobe department works alright.

@cquilty52 Have they all been dressed by the same clothing company?!

i've never seen a photograph so perfectly encapsulate what it doesn't mean to be British

@Yuhdnsksna18259 @GMbunchanumbers @BeneavinCollege @gavpepper85 I didn't tell anyone what they can and can't do. I didn't, in fact, tell anyone anything. You were the one making wild claims and speaking on behalf of evey parent and staff member at the school. I couldn't give a shite what any of them do or think.

@brenjamin @GMbunchanumbers @BeneavinCollege @gavpepper85 Ahahahahahahajahahah mate I saw one the other day that said "hyperion". Just stop trying to tell other people what they can and cant do with their kids, good lad

Hey @BeneavinCollege did ye seriously invite the dim, gaslighting, grifting, lying, racist @gavpepper85 in to speak to students??? This langer??? If so ye need to cop yourselves on…unless of course ye support his hatemongering dumbfuckery 😒

@Yuhdnsksna18259 @GMbunchanumbers @BeneavinCollege @gavpepper85 Give over will ye

@brenjamin @GMbunchanumbers @BeneavinCollege @gavpepper85 Ok so, what the last name of 1 of the teachers in the school

@Yuhdnsksna18259 @GMbunchanumbers @BeneavinCollege @gavpepper85 The guards wouldn't ask me that

@brenjamin @GMbunchanumbers @BeneavinCollege @gavpepper85 Are you a parent of a kid in the school?

@Yuhdnsksna18259 @GMbunchanumbers @BeneavinCollege @gavpepper85 I'm from the area, I went to the school, and I personally know some of the teachers. You are 100% talking bollox.

@GMbunchanumbers @BeneavinCollege @gavpepper85 Hes a local councillor and every teacher parent and the principal agree with him and want what's best for the area thanks for your input tho SNA from Cork

@mighty_tired @daniel_knauf They did. I have no idea what he is talking about.

@daniel_knauf Hold on. They didn’t memorialize Duval? (I don’t watch that stuff anymore)

I’m friends with a Hollywood veteran, a guy who’s traded lines with greats, generated an incredible body of work and earned a shelf full of Emmys. We were talking about a showrunner we’d both worked for, a guy of adequate talent who’s notorious for breaking writers, credit-jumping and holding grudges. A petty, genuinely evil guy. And a yeller. Yeah, one of those. My friend told me how much he admired me for just letting this guy’s bullshit roll off my back. I said, “Dude, everyone comes into this world with a bucket of fucks to give, and sometime around when I turned 50, I ran fresh out. Seriously. I don’t give a fuck. Somebody yells at me, I just look at them like they’re from Mars. It’s like, ‘What’re you? My Dad? My wife? Get out.’” I told him I don’t give a fuck what they want. I’m gonna do what I do, and the only thing I DO very much give a fuck about is the quality of my work, because my only REAL boss is the guy at home holding the remote. “Otherwise,” I said, “I’m fresh out of fucks to give. It’s like a superpower. They don’t scare me.” He gave me a somber look and said, “Danny, that’s your problem. That’s why you don’t work nearly as much as you deserve to.” “Because I don’t give a fuck?” “No,” he said, “because you don’t fear them. And they know that.” “So if I want to work more, you’re saying I have to simulate being afraid of them?” I asked. “Yeah,” he said. “Otherwise, they think you’re dangerous and they hate you.” More than anything, I suspect that’s why the Academy snubbed Robert Duvall in the memorial section.

@mollistan @avidseries What parts of Ireland did you go to that looked like suburban US?

@avidseries It really depends on which part you go to. Some parts look like suburban US.

I spent two weeks in Ireland once, staying in a rural area. I was surprised by how consistently picturesque the country is. That thing they say about Ireland being green is ridiculously accurate. Pretty much every town I visited had charm. The people are friendly, and actually seem to like Americans. To be honest, I wasn't expecting a lot before I made the trip. It was a trip my girlfriend wanted to make. But I'm glad I did it, and it changed my perception of the country.

@TezzaLap @avidseries

@avidseries It's changed a lot in recent times. It has discovered mass migration from Islam.

@brenjamin you do not have the most recent version :)

this feels slightly racist

Irish government in hot water after sending condolences to Israeli government over death of Netanyahu.

@neil061099 @MrsJudySpag @NYCMayor The flag is already vertical. You mean horizontally.

@MrsJudySpag @NYCMayor When displaying the flag vertically, the green should always be on top. You would know that if you cared about the tricolour.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

@sweeenie @NYCMayor You're American, you fuckin' balloon.

Zohran, as an Irishman from a long line of proud Irish men and Irish women, I can say the following without hesitation: it is a disgrace that borders sacrilege to make our Saint Patrick’s Day about your personal views on middle eastern politics. At this rate, come July, we can expect to hear you transform the commemoration of America's Revolution into your advocacy for that of the Bolsheviks respective uprising against the evils of capitalism in 1917. Blending ingredients dissipates their individual identities and waters down their potency. Complete joke. As Mayor of the third most Irish city in the United States, you tone deafness is absolutely jaw dropping. Stay in your lane. I promise you we are good over here without you grotesquely usurping our most hallowed holiday.

@moorehn I have the most recent update. If anything, the one you have posted looks like an older, more basic version. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway, was just something I noticed while scrolling, not too important in the grand scheme of things!

@brenjamin you need to update your app
