Patrick Mooney 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇮🇪🇪🇺

About last night / The Grand Final of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest.

So if you care to find me. Look to the Blue Sky -> bsky.app/profile/patric…

For those looking elsewhere. I’m PatIreland on both Instagram and threads. And PatrickMooney on Bluesky.

@HotelChocolat It’s terrible. Before Hotel Chocolat opened here I used to buy all the time via your website. Easter, Christmas etc. Hopefully we can start to buy online again or ye can partner with the likes of Arnotts to sell in store. Again very sad news for your staff and customers today.

@PatrickMooney After 5 years in the Republic of Ireland, we've made the difficult decision to close our two stores there due to significant changes in the operating environment. In order for us to help assist further, please could you kindly send us a DM? Many thanks, Holly@ChocolatHQ

Terrible news for the staff of @HotelChocolat in Ireland - I’ve a couple of vouchers which need to use up. My fav chocolate brand. Sad to see it close.

@Michaelkelly707 @AerLingus @RevolutApp Just made a booking tonight. I find using RevPoints better than converting to avios. It’s around 141 avios to €1. Here it is 100 RevPoints for a €1 saving and now they give you another x10 boost. Fantastic.

@Michaelkelly707 @AerLingus @RevolutApp And you can pay with revpoints too. Mind you RevPay failed 50% of the times. I’ve had to book seats twice many times now as the payment goes through but the booking fails. It refunds a week later. Annoying but plan ahead.

Are you a member of the @AerLingus frequent flyer programme #AerClub AND use the online bank app @RevolutApp ? Both companies are running this #Avios promotion

Full length music videos in Spotify. When was that shipped. I love it.

All scrubbed up for the European Diversity Awards in London tonight.

Live from New York, it's Saturday night.

What an opening!

@Michaelkelly707 @emirates @DublinAirport Perfect. Always perfect. Emirates offer an unparalleled experience compared to others. Regardless of which cabin, everyone gets that special treatment. I did premium economy for the onward flight and I was very very impressed with that product.

@PatrickMooney @emirates @DublinAirport How was it Patrick

I'm flying today with @emirates from @DublinAirport to #Dubai on their flight #EK162 , a Boeing 777 registered #A6ENM Flight time will be 7 hrs 7 mins (707). I'm using the excellent onboard WiFi #paxex

@Michaelkelly707 @AerLingus It’s the only reason I fly with them - I maintain silver. That would be a massive shame.

I'm hearing that @AerLingus are looking at changing the #AerLingus frequent flyer programme #AerClub I hope I am wrong, but there is a possibility that lounge access for Silver members may be discontinued If true, this will be a huge retrograde step

Busy busy busy

Yes we are keeping up with the @neighbours when travelling.

So the Voice UK final wasn’t live and a studio vote. Isn’t the point of the last few weeks you get to know the acts to help with the vote. Odd ITV couldn’t figure out a way to make this an audience vote with even the end being live or multiple endings.

@JaMuzza88 I wouldn’t quite agree!

Credit to @RevolutApp for making the eSIM process super easy. I’ve been using it across multiple countries. No need to change eSIM. Allowances draw down as you roam. Only improvement would be a Home Screen widget and faster updating of data information.

Great to be back!

So we had the chance to fly premium economy with Emirates yesterday. The difference, worlds apart. It has so many aspects of business, loved it.
