Irish people being not superstitious

@fasc1nate You are a beautiful couple. I'm so sorry you suffered all that bigotry throughout your lives and the sad loss of your baby. You clearly love each other very much. I hope people have learned to be less bigoted but I fear they have not

"When I told my father I was going to marry Jake he said, ‘If you marry that man you will never set foot in this house again.’⁣ ⁣ He was horrified that I could contemplate marrying a black man, and I soon learned that most people felt the same way. The first years of our marriage living in Birmingham were hell — I cried every day, and barely ate. No one would speak to us, we couldn’t find anywhere to live because no one would rent to a black man, and we had no money.⁣ ⁣ People would point at us in the street. Then I gave birth to a stillborn son at eight months. It wasn’t related to the stress I was under but it broke my heart, and we never had any more children.⁣ ⁣ We were at the same technical college. I was having typing and shorthand lessons and he’d been sent there for training by the Air Force. He was with a group of black friends and they called my friend and me over to talk. We didn’t even know they spoke English, but Jake and I got chatting. He quoted Shakespeare to me, which I loved.⁣ ⁣ Jake returned to Trinidad, but we carried on writing to each other, and a few years later he returned to the UK to get better paid work.⁣ ⁣ He asked me to marry him, quite out of the blue, when I was only 19. My father threw me out, and I left with only one small suitcase to my name. No family came to our register office wedding in 1948.⁣ ⁣ But gradually life became easier. I got teaching jobs, ending up as a deputy head teacher. First Jake worked in a factory, then for the Post Office.⁣ Slowly we made friends together, but it was so hard. I used to say to new friends: ‘Look, I have to tell you this before I invite you to my home — my husband is black.’⁣ ⁣ My father died when I was 30 and although we were reconciled by then, he never did approve of Jake.⁣ ⁣ Today we have been married for 63 years, and are still very much in love. I do not regret marrying him for an instant, despite all the pain we have suffered."⁣

@SaraWahedi en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_… Some interesting facts you might like to know about Tipperary's county anthem lol! You can listen to John McCormack's(famous Irish tenor) version on YouTube which is what it is best known by. Tá fáilte romhait go hÉirinn🇮🇪♥️

I just experienced one of my first ‘full circle’ moments. I bought this bottle of water on my train to Dublin and noticed the name - Tipperary. Almost immediately, I began humming a tune. I searched “Tipperary song” on Google and learned that it was an old wartime song during World War 1. There’s a backstory to this. When my mother, brother and I arrived to Canada as refugees from Afghanistan, we didn’t know a word of English. My mother, having to work 3 jobs, entrusted us in the care of a Norwegian-Canadian woman named Marit. Other than her routine 5 am hug, I barely saw my mother throughout my childhood. Marit was uncommonly kind to everyone she met. She was also dedicated to her church. While my mother focused on ensuring we maintained our Dari and Islamic values as children, Marit would also bring us to church on Sundays, welcoming us to her community. She always told us that Christians are brethren to the Muslim faith - we knew nothing but solidarity and respect as children. Marit’s husband, Merrill, was Irish. It was a routine practice of his to sit on the porch of his house, staring blankly into the forest behind their suburban home, with a pipe in his mouth. “It’s a long way to Tipperary..” He would hum. He would raise his arms like a conductor’s baton and usher my brother and I to join in. Within a few months, you could mistake us for an Irish choir. Now, at 28, I’m in Northern Ireland heading to Dublin, having just won an award as ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ for my work dedicated to my country of origin, Afghanistan. My brother smiled solemnly to himself yesterday while we walked around Belfast. I asked him what he was thinking about. “Wouldn’t it have been amazing if Merrill was with us right now?” My throat closed tightly. I guess it really is a long way to Tipperary.

@fesshole What an arsehole

A colleague recently invited me to a private ULEZ vandalism Facebook group. There's been an uptick in people reporting that the police have taken an interest in the actions they were posting on there. Can't think who might have reported them.

@ask_aubry It's so nice to see such a happy post for a change. Thank you Aubrey♥️

I'm excited for him! Lego Millennium Falcon? Hell yes!

@fesshole Sometimes vasectomies fail, but being a lying douchebag lives forever. I hope you get everything that's coming to you

Second wife is 11 years younger than me. She wants kids, I don't as already have 3. Have never told her I had a vasectomy so can't anyway. She's just announced she's pregnant. This'll be interesting.

@NiallHarbison Exactly like my dog Lucky that died a year and a half ago. I miss her so much💔

6pm tonight Hyde Park. I’ve a few surprise friends who showed up for the walk. Hope, Lottie and Rodney will be there. 📌 6pm - Serpentine cafe - Hyde Park. Just a dog walk. Anyone welcome with or without a dog 🙏🥰

@gunsnrosesgirl3 I just want to follow them all day. Why do they remind me of tiny cute people

In the dense mountain forests of New Caledonia, on the forest floor lives an almost flightless and endangered bird called the kagu (Rhynochetos jubatus) Watch these two greet each other, this video has sound

@HowThingsWork_ not gonna lie, this video gave me claustrophobia for a little bit.

Lot of work needed to make this road possible! 🛣️ Would you feel uneasy taking this drive?

@historyinmemes You know nothing

Can you think of TV shows that people can recognize from just one quote?

@stan1m1r @niceviddies @historyinmemes Very interesting! I never knew this about Nokia. Thank you for this information

@niceviddies @historyinmemes Before focusing on telecommunications products, Nokia produced tyres, rubber boots and televisions, amongst others products!

The Nokia 1100 sold over 250 million units, making it the best-selling mobile phone in history. The Nokia 1100 was a very popular mobile phone model that was first introduced in 2003. It was particularly popular in developing countries because of its affordability, durability, and long battery life. The Nokia 1100 was also known for its simple interface and basic features, which made it easy to use for people who were not familiar with more complex mobile phones. Over the course of its production, Nokia sold over 250 million units of the Nokia 1100, making it one of the best-selling mobile phones of all time.

@thegaboeth @historyinmemes Thank you for this added bit of information to the post above. The pain of a pap smear is bad enough, I cannot even conceive of the thoughts of doing it every single day💔

Andromache Papanicolaou Andromache Papanicolaou was a laboratory technician, the wife of the pathologist George Papanicolaou. This scientist was a pioneer in the early detection of cancer and invented what is known as the Papanicolaou test (vaginal cytology). But, in large part, he did it thanks to Andromache; she was not only her helper: every day for 21 years, she volunteered for him to perform a Pap smear in his quest for proof of uterine cancer. Andromache Papanicolaou continued her husband's work at the Papanicolaou Cancer Research Institute after his death in 1962. She died twenty years later, in 1982, at age 92. Thanks to the generosity of Andromache, who gave up motherhood to collaborate with Pap smears, the pathologist was able to study cellular changes in the vagina and cervix throughout a woman's life, from childbearing age to menopause. The Pap smear has saved many lives. But in the story of this discovery, unfortunately, the essential role of the Andromache Pap smear has been hidden.

This is the story of Georgios Papanikolaou and his wife Andromachi (Mary) Mavrogeni Papanikolaou. Born on the Greek island of Euboea in 1883, Georgios received a medical degree in 1904 from the National University of Athens. Upon graduation, he worked in the military as an assistant surgeon and then, after his discharge, went back home to take care of leprosy patients for two years. Eager to further his education, Georgios attended the University of Munich and received a doctorate degree in zoology in 1910. In the same year, he eloped with Mary, whom he had met while on a ferry boat ride to Athens. Mary was also well-educated, spoke fluent French, and came from a prominent Greek family. In 1913, Georgios and Mary decided to move to New York, despite knowing no English and only having $250 in their pockets. The couple struggled to survive - Georgios played the violin in restaurants and sold carpets, while Mary worked as a seamstress, sewing buttons for $5 a week. Their fortunes soon changed when Georgios got a job as a researcher at Cornell University. Mary soon joined him as a technician. In 1928, Georgios discovered a way to detect cancer by taking samples from the cervix and examining them under the microscope. He had confirmed these observations in female guinea pigs but needed a way to verify if his techniques would work on human females. Unable to get access to patients, Mary volunteered for her husband's experiment by having her cervix sampled every day for 21 years and deciding to forgo children. She also threw parties for female friends and convinced them to have their cervixes sampled. Georgios observed the cancer cells for one of her friends who went on to be diagnosed with cervical cancer. "The first observation of cancer cells in the smear of the uterine cervix gave me one of the greatest thrills I ever experienced during my scientific career," he said. The couple went on to develop the Pap smear, saving millions of lives through early cervical cancer detection.
