@FFS_WhatNow I can't quite work out if that's supposed to be the melody or a harmony that they're singing.

@DreyfusJames I know of someone who had 'Roll me up and smoke me when I die' by Willie Nelson played at his cremation.

Had a good-natured, rather jovial conversation with my father about which songs he’d like played at his funeral one day & he suggested a few hymns. I told him that I’d like to hear the songs he’d used to play over & over back in the 70’s. But then I remembered the titles of his favourites… “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now”- McFadden & Whitehead. “Good Times” - Chic “Give Me The Night” - George Benson. “I Feel Love” - Donna Summer. And “Oxygen” by Jean-Michel Jarre… 🤣 The mourners would be flipping pews…

@saltyskin_ A friend of mine has identical twin daughters aged 19. She says they cannot confidently say that they didn't mix them up as babies. Even the girls themselves tease her and her husband about it.

Gal at work has 2 10 month old identical twins and her husband thinks he put them in the wrong cots and they’re not sure which one is which 😐😂

@crampell This situation is what led to the repeal of the 8th amendment in Ireland. A pregnant woman having a late miscarriage was made to wait until her condition became life-threatening. Tragically, she developed sepsis and died. RIP Savita

"In Texas, a woman whose water broke at 18 weeks—far too early for her baby to survive outside the womb—was unable to get an abortion until she became septic. She spent three days in the ICU, and one of her fallopian tubes permanently closed from scarring. In Tennessee, a woman lost four pints of blood delivering her dead fetus in a hospital’s holding area. In Oklahoma, a bleeding woman with a nonviable pregnancy was turned away from three separate hospitals. One said she could wait in the parking lot until her condition became life-threatening." theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@catherineecull1 @ask_aubry I was married to a man like that too. I left him when he had an affair and blamed me for not being his perfect woman. I met my now husband and we're happily married almost 20 years. My ex went on to have a string of failed relationships, the common denominator being him.

@ask_aubry I once had the misfortune of loving a man who thought just like that. I left him, of course. I couldn’t stand one more day of never being “good enough” for him. It was astonishing how miserable & upset he was when my imperfect, never-going-to-meet-his-standards self walked out.

These same dudes will whine that women who don't want children are unattractive and also whine when women risk their lives, transform their bodies to have children are unattractive.

@Joie16204207 @Notnusehri @historyinmemes O'Halloran is a fairly common name in Ireland.

@Notnusehri @historyinmemes My grandmother was a Halloran I wonder if she was related to them through the family tree?

@kg_se10 @sophie_gadd Talking to an American lady in Portugal, told her we live in Clare, Ireland. "My Grandfather was Pat O'Reilly from Co Clare. He died in 1973. Did you know him?". Given that I would have been 4 years old then and grew up 2 counties away, no, sorry lady, I didn't know your Grandpa.

@sophie_gadd I do love how they see us as some kind of quaint little island where its easy to get round and everyone knows each other. Once when I was over in the US, an American asks me "Ah you're from London. I have a friend, John, there. You might know him?" Sadly I didn't.

@TheRealFlups @mcrstuart If his profile photo is an accurate representation, that and the post above brings the phrase "I wouldn't ride him into battle" to mind.

@mcrstuart Everyone has a preference as to what they like in a partner, physically. However, I’d stated I was curvy with wobbly bits and he’d seen recent full length photos of me. Plus there’s more to a person than just looks. There are nicer ways to say “sorry, not for me”.

A year ago today I went on a date to IKEA. The meal planned for afterwards didn’t happen as he told me I was “bigger than he liked” and that I wouldn’t fit in his Porsche. I cried for an hour in the car park then tweeted about it. The rest, as they say, is history.

@paul_haine I winced at the point when she folded the bread over to make a half sandwich.

@piper4missouri I was put through this as a very introverted 12 year old. Sat next to the most disruptive little shit in the whole school and bullied daily but no teacher noticed let alone did anything about it.

@dymd3z @CureBore @DailyLoud Ennis has a polish community, like most midsized towns in Ireland.

@TheHoodedClaw66 When we sold our house 9 years ago and moved to the next county with our four cats in tow, more than 1 of my work colleagues expressed surprise that we had brought our cats with us. WTF? Did they think we were selling them as part of the house deal?

In my many years as a valuer i came across loads of properties where pets had been left behind Mostly though it was cats and kittens. it got to the point where i would have cat food and treats in me car because it would be a monthly occurrence but sometimes weekly. I would take them the Mayhew or any other charity that had space but i just couldn’t get my head around anyone who would leave a defenceless and hungry pet behind when leaving. 1. Kitten was terrified and hungry and had been in the house for at least 2 days with no food and water. Chipped snipped and re-homed 2. Mum and 4 kittens all found on decking. Mum had looked after them well and all were very healthy and found new homes. 3. This little girl had been in the house at least a week and was pregnant. She was starving and weak and came right up to me and thats when i took the picture. Mum and newborns all re-housed 4. By far the worst. This little one was injured and soaking wet. although the tenants had only left a few hours earlier, and i cannot confirm anything, he had a bad wound on his neck and was soaking wet. I took him in and a few months later he settled into a lovely retired ladies home who updates me all the time. I am not into excuses because it takes a really nasty piece of work to leave a pet behind

@BogartKrusty @SurrogConcern Older than that I'd say. I'm 54, husband 57, these two look way older than us.

Anyone can become a parent through surrogacy. At any age.

@DeniseMBreen This turned into a weekly meet up event. The Tidy Towns Committee then asked them if they'd like to volunteer which they enthusiastically joined. These guys do regular litter picks around the town, help our wherever and whenever they can and are valued members of our community 2/

@DeniseMBreen I live in a small town/large village in East Clare. In the last year, a number of families from Afghanistan, Syria and elsewhere have moved into social housing in the village. Immediately a local lady organised a coffee morning in the community centre to welcome them. 1/

@Care2much18 I went to school with Sarah Tarpey. I was at her funeral. A few years ago we had a reunion dinner for all of us turning 50. We had photos of everyone who had passed away in the intervening years and a candle lighting for them. Sarah's school friends have not forgotten her.

What happened to those girls, brutality of their deaths, is heartbreaking. That their stories have been largely forgotten just adds ignominy to injustice. The very least a progressive society can do is remember the girls and keep their memories alive. They all mattered ❤️

Sixteen teenage girls, aged between 12 - 19, were brutally killed between 1980 and 1995 in Ireland. Most of their names, faces and stories have been forgotten in the passage of time. I went through archives to tell a few of their stories, of how they died and how they lived. /1

@cyberfrontier Poor Aisling, can't begin to imagine the grief her family are suffering. I hope the guilty verdict brings them some comfort.

This is the hand of a man (not a man, an evil scumbag) who killed a young woman who went for a jog. #VAWG

@parkinsbrea We make up little goodie bags in plastic sandwich bags and give one to each child.

Friends do we hand out sweets (individually wrapped) to trick or treaters or do we hold out the bowl for them to pick? They held out their bags so I assumed I put the sweets in for them because they have hands full but have been told this wrong. I didn't grow up with Halloween.

@Trinny7 @Danielobo148 You could buy a really fancy bean to cup coffee machine for a lot less, and then you wouldn't need to go near expensive coffee shops ever again.

@Danielobo148 €1079 a year for a daily coffee ☕️ ( based on 5 days a week) €1510 if 7 days.
