@ralphnjeff @MarnellRoi53898 Thanks, I wish you were right, I have a smart tv and the Vodafone TV Google box but it blocks access.

@_eileenoduffy @MarnellRoi53898 If you have a smart TV and say, Amazon or Google box, it will work.

Is it true that down South Ireland can't get the BBC Iplayer?

@MaryKenny4 @ConceptDairy @annetted1234 I love Lidl breads but they are “finished off” in the bakery each day rather than baked from scratch. The sourdough and country loaf are delicious.

@ConceptDairy @annetted1234 I’m sorry to say that I find most Irish supermarket bread awful. Tasteless. Someone should start a real bread bakery. There’s a market for it.

🇮🇪 Ireland’s favourite sliced pan, wrapped in that iconic yellow paper…contains palm fat. 👍 Always check the label 📢 Share this to help spread the word Come on Brennans Bread you can do better. Take the Palm Fat out! 📸 Image Source: brennansbread.ie/products/brenn… #Palmoil

@dublin_damo Check out Las Tapas, great menu and atmosphere, you’ll swear you’re back in Spain! Or if you want to go Greek, Yamas is excellent. 🇬🇷

Everything in Greystones is 'gourmet' this or 'artisan' that, with the eye-watering prices to match.

@RTEOne Lovely montage, so Hugh. ❤️

In memory of Hugh Wallace, whose passion and insight brought a special spark to Home of the Year. Tonight, we remember his kindness, his brilliance and his enduring legacy.

@philmcraig @KevinTMaher Hilarious review, Brontë Barbie wins the internet today. 😆

Bravo @KevinTMaher I laughed so hard at this that some breakfast shreddies reached the wall! thetimes.com/culture/film/a…

@spacehuman @BuzzingPop There were a lot of Irish people in Liverpool at the time and they were often described in a derogatory manner as “gypsies”, i.e. people of no fixed abode and darker than the traditional upper class British society. Yes, Colin Farrell would have made a great Heathcliff.

@BuzzingPop This is what they meant by ‘black Irish’. Heathcliff looked like this. He was not a ‘person of color’ like African. Idiots.

‘Wuthering Heights’ director Emerald Fennell responds to controversy over casting Jacob Elordi, whose character in the book is a person of color: “I think the thing is everyone who loves this book has such a personal connection to it and so you can only ever kind of make the movie that that you sort of imagined yourself when you read it. I don’t know, I think I was sort of focusing on the kind of sado-masochistic elements of it… that’s the great thing about this movie is that it could be made every year and it would still be so moving and so interesting.” (@THR)

@GabbyMonaghan @Independent_ie “Irish writing has always had a particular texture – the rhythm of Irish English, the way dialogue sits on the page, the unexpected word choice that's absolutely right.” Super article Gabrielle.

‘Don’t ask people to read something you couldn’t be bothered to write’ – Irish publishers warn authors over use of AI @Independent_ie independent.ie/irish-news/don…

@DonaldClarke63 Sure, reinventions can be brilliant e.g. Romeo + Juliet. I’ve always had a theory that Heathcliff is Mr Earnshaw’s illegitimate son, hard to get my head around this new Cathy is his half-sister.

@_eileenoduffy She doesn't have to be anything. Anybody is free to reinvent any story as they see fit.

1. Don’t care. 2. He IS dark, but don’t care anyway. . 3. Really don’t care. 4. Don’t care. 5. Don’t care. 6. Don’t care. 7. Not sure it does, but don’t care anyway. (I first read Wuthering Heights over 40 years ago, and have loved it ever since.)

@OHanlonEilis Great suggestions but I can’t record BBC anymore on new Vodafone set box. I could use a VPN on laptop but really want to access iPlayer on television. So much good stuff on BBC late at night.

My guide to the best (and worst) TV over Christmas, if you're stuck for something to watch (and avoid). Comes with the usual sprinkling of sarcasm, so those of an easily-triggered disposition should probably avoid. independent.ie/entertainment/…

@slinehan1 After many years on Strictly, Katya was finally paired with somebody who could match her energy, creativity, brilliant choreography, she is a genius. Thank you and Lewis for the most iconic, memorable, historic moments on Strictly, ever.

Highlights of Lewis and Katya's exit interview on #ItTakesTwo just now. In her 10 years on this show I've never seen Katya this heartbroken, it hurts that she's blaming herself for Lewis going home. 😭 These two clearly love each other a lot. Lewis is a true gent. 💔 #Strictly

Watching the 2 best dancers compete against each other should have been a final, not a dance off. Gutted for both of them. #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancng

@rtenews Very sad news. Hugh was a brilliant tv presenter and an absolute gentleman. He did more work than any other human being to promote our architectural heritage. Heaven will be a more beautiful colourful place now.

Architect and television presenter Hugh Wallace, best known to RTÉ audiences as a long-serving judge on Home of the Year, has died at the age of 68 rte.ie/entertainment/…

I’ve started a new walking tour along Dún Laoghaire seafront and harbour. Please tell any friends/visitors who might be interested. @DLRTourism @dlrheritevents #DunLaoghaire facebook.com/DunLaoghaireWa…

Katya is a genius, the best choreographer ever. She can work with good, bad or indifferent but when she is working with the brilliant Lewis, they are unbeatable. #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing

@BenGoode16 @Clearpreso I think maybe later? Women were not allowed to use the changing huts until 2013. Here’s some of the old signs

@_eileenoduffy @Clearpreso That sign was there until about 30 years ago.

The entrance to the historic 40 foot bathing area has become a signage hellscape?

Here’s an old postcard of the entrance to The Forty Foot c 1900 before the signs took over!

@philipnolan1 But the three traitors are incredibly cunning, particularly Alan. I think he will win.

They are so shit at this. The Irish would run rings around them. 🤣 #CelebrityTraitors
