Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.) It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public. 🧵

@sferenchak @conorgriffin Holy moly!

@sasanplus Probably not until next week now

@andybyrne When are you going to be in the office? Let me call over too and we both “oops”

Not sure how much longer I can hold out

@sorenisanerd I guess there’s really only one way to find out

@sorenisanerd Dammit now thats all I see aswell

Ah that magical time of year when every company you’ve even briefly interacted with in the last 10 years emails to wish you well for the next year. It’s really quite touching.

@dublinbusnews I think what would be really useful is for the real time system to be updated to say if it’s a 15c in real time. Then customers can make an informed decision based off that. If it says there’s a 15 coming and it’s not a 15 then it leads to dissatisfaction

@andybyrne Hi Andy, there are a variety of potential reasons. If you tell me where your bus is now we should be able to identify it and find out for you.

@dublinbusnews why am I on a 15C, which doesn’t exist as a bus according to the timetables, instead of a 15? It’s ending in city centre.

@dublinbusnews It’s a cross city service that we’re relying on. What operational reasons would mean it gets curtailed?

@andybyrne Hi Andy, this means a #DB15 service has been curtailed to operate as far as the City Centre for operational reasons.

@DunnezP @wearevillagers @Vicar_Street Ticketmaster site has them listed as cancelled now

@wearevillagers Hi Connor. We all need some clarity please on your @Vicar_Street gigs this weekend. Keep safe.

@collision He’s a great communicator isn’t he? Been watching the channel for a while.

Summary of today's longest-ever world championship chess match between Magnus and Nepo.

"So it starts in D Major & it goes 'No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, THERE'S NO LIMITS'. Then it goes into A for a few bars, then we all shout 'TECHNO, TECHNO, TECHNO, TECHNO"

Once again Barbados PM Mia Mottley has been the one who has delivered the speech the world needed. May she be heard, may we rise. Take 8 minutes to listen to the whole thing. Share the lines that grabbed you most. #COP26

unintended consequences

@collision I think the success of the ones we have has meant that more are on the way. Wexford one planned to meet up with the Waterford one I think.

Walked the Waterford Greenway (Kilmacthomas-Dungarvan) yesterday and it is, like everyone says, brilliant. Spotlessly clean, artfully done (the tunnel!), dotted with hip restaurants and good coffee. Genuine question: how do we get more greenways in Ireland?
