@NiecyOKeeffe Bet he drove home as well.

Daddy Keeffe: Jesus Christ! This is some fucking game!! This is unprecedented talk from a man who was having a heart attack and said “I’m grand, I can drive meself.” To the hospital. #COYBIG

So happy to receive this in the post today. An advance copy of A Nation Once Again. Coming August 2026.

@BestMovieMom He tried to stand up and fly straight, but it wasn't easy with that sumbitch Reagan in the White House.

The chaotic diaper heist in Raising Arizona (1987) was filmed with extremely fast tracking shots and wide-angle lenses to give the chase a cartoon-like energy, with much of the physical action performed by the actors themselves.

@RobbieCoo76 They're called something else?

Fellow Dubliners please tell me you also called them “Coolpops” 🤷🏼

@Finaldo @AkaPaulHoward @ImpressionistAL Oh! The generational gap coming into play there Derek. I'll go with Francis (as my auntie from Artane insisted on calling him).

@JoeUnclej @AkaPaulHoward @ImpressionistAL If we can get agreement that Frank Stapleton was better than John Aldridge, for Ireland anway, then I think I could just about live with another civil war.

@AkaPaulHoward @ImpressionistAL Lads, now that Paul finally has a podcast I think we should have that long awaited Liverpool vs Man Utd debate. Only put an Ireland spin on it. Whelan, Heighway, Houghton, Aldo etc. vs Stapleton, McGrath, Moran, Keane etc.Losers get a wedgie on air

Following discussions in Government it is understood that Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien secured supports for hauliers and motorists. The National Oil Reserves Agency levy charged at 2 cent per litre on motoring fuel and home heating oil is set to be paused for 2 months

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

Did you know that Paul Newman pulled off one of the rarest feats in Hollywood history? He is one of the very few actors to be nominated for an Oscar twice for playing the exact same character in two different films. He first embodied the shark Eddie Felson in 1961’s The Hustler, but the Best Actor statuette only arrived 25 years later in the 1986 sequel, The Color of Money. It was the ultimate “hustle” to close the character’s journey in style! 🏆🎬

I didn’t think there was anything new I could find out about Saipan until I just read that Lee Marvin won the Purple Heart for fighting there with the US Marines in WWII.

@AkaPaulHoward Ah! Sure look it.

There goes the quadruple

@AkaPaulHoward That's British Telecom for ya. I've passed this on to Dunhill Records legal department, I'm sure a cease & desist letter will be forthcoming.

I couldn’t figure out why Monday Monday by the Mamas & Papas has been in my head for weeks. I’ve just figured out that it may have something to do with our new phone.

@studiotstella @ehibiondolosai Billiards. Now that's a game you don't see played much these days.

@DonaldClarke63 Gentlemen, shockstrip here may talk like an idiot and look like an idiot, but don't let that fool you: he really is an idiot.

Most embarrassing reply imaginable?

@AkaPaulHoward Just a couple of Goy's who liked to rock up back in the day.
