Just so we’re all clear on what this means: Syria is ran by Al-Qaeda. The US has asked Al-Qaeda for help. The same Al-Qaeda they want you to believe killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11. This is how stupid they think you are. They are laughing in your face.

@Gastro_Celtic Gets worse pal, all off a sudden you're a Papa!! My now near 11 year old GD loved to paint nails when she was around 5, I was the perfect subject lol, all good except I like to wear sliders, next day standing in the queue at the petrol station wondering why smiles at my feet 🤣

No one told me that part of being a Dad was that, around Age 9, I'd have to watch my daughter's made up dance to New Rules by Dua Lipa 3x in a row... daily.

@GeeGillanX Well done you !!

Tommy Olsen, the founder of Aegean Boat Report, has been arrested by the Norwegian Police. He is now held in custody awaiting extradition to Greek authorities. With nearly 90,000 followers from across the world, it is time for all of those who have a voice to speak out now. For the last six years, Greek authorities have tried to silence me. Years of smear campaigns in parts of the Greek press, spyware, arrests and harassment of people who stood by my side, isolating tactics, numerous baseless criminal investigations, an arrest warrant — and now a European Arrest Warrant — all with one purpose: to silence the voice of one man who insists on telling the truth. Every day Aegean Boat Report documents serious humanitarian abuses as they unfold along the route known as the Aegean Sea—from Turkey to Greece. Greek authorities want to silence me and have therefore fabricated a story where they accuse me of cooperating with people smugglers. What I ask of you now is to speak out. We cannot allow them to continue violating the principle of non-refoulement, fabricating smuggling charges, and then permit Norwegian citizens to be handed over to a police force that clearly does not want its human rights violations exposed. We must report human rights violations without fear of arrest. If Aegean Boat Report disappears, it won’t be because the need disappeared. It will be because pressure and lack of support made it impossible to continue. The work continues — but it cannot continue without you. I cannot continue without you. Aegean Boat Report is now asking for your help. Share this post. Speak out! Write and send emails to those who can make a change. Make sure all our voices are heard. And more than ever we need your continous donation to keep our work going. General support information can be found on aegeanboatreport.com.

Odd that statements from Oman’s FM, Iran’s FM, the IAEA, and even some U.S. intelligence officials are more consistent than those from the U.S. President, DOW, Kushner, and Witkoff. "They were so happy when they left the negotiation table because we were able to to you know make significant progress as the Omani foreign minister said in his statement and he checked his statement with both sides and both sides agreed with the term he used and we made really significant progress.. They were happy when they left you know Geneva. And I don’t know what happened.."

@peterwalsh27 Prefer Guinness in a pint glass 😎

@McLaughlin_1888 Cheers Davie!!

The start of a wee St. Patrick's Day pub crawl in downtown Coatbridge. Thoughts and prayers appreciated!! 😄🙌💚

@RobLooseCannon Similar happened with steam train specials on good friday !!

You couldnt buy a pint on Paddys Day in Ireland from 1903 until 1970! During those dark decades licensing law required pubs to close on 17th March because St Patrick’s Day was classed as a holy day of obligation. The Catholic state treated public drinking as incompatible with proper observance. This placed it in the same category as Good Friday, Christmas Day, and certain election days. While Irish emigrant communities abroad were turning St Patrick’s Day into a boozy celebration of identity, the holiday at home was meant to be sober and vaguely penitential affair. And thats grand if you choose it, not so much when the theocracy chooses it for you. Until the late 1960s, parades were more modest affairs, lots of marching bands and scouts and shite like that. And trust me, more effeminate men in skirts and funny hats than any Pride Parade I've marched in. But heres the gas part, the once infamous Royal Dublin Dog Show loophole! The RDS had its annual Dog Show in Ballsbridge that day and because the event was classified as a private members’ function connected to agriculture and breeding, gargle could legally be sold on the premises. This made it, effectively, the only place in Dublin where one could lawfully get gee-eyed on Paddys Day! Predictably for anyone with a goo on them, despite little interest in canine pedigree lines went walkies to Ballsbrigde in the hundreds. Contemporary newspapers describe packed bars, roaring trade, and a carnival atmosphere. And most of these lads never saw as much as a jack russel during that 24 hour period. And "Irish solution for an Irish problem" type of cognitive dissonance which makes me love us all the more. Crucially you didnt need a dog to attend like, but I love that some chancers brought leads or muzzels with them. Now as it was a Royal Dublin Society event, there was a dress code or a kind of assumption of a certain vibe. Working-class Dubs arrived in their Sunday best, ironically only to see the landed Anglo-Irish and professional breeders in comparitive rag order. This mixing created an unintentionally inclusive atmosphere were people who never normally wouldve drank together shared the craic and theres accounts of lads meeting up again annually for years renewing their friendships. Obviously elsewhere illicit purchasing of alcohol did happen, but this was on the level. Private gaffs hosted “tea parties” where the teapot was doing a lot of work. Some pubs quietly served “bottles for the back room” to trusted regulars. Hotels could often obtain special dispensations and there were a suspicious amount of wakes without any "body". By the late 1960s, the ban had become increasingly embarrassing with Ireland opening up economically, courting tourism, and watching foreign visitors arrive expecting celebration only to find locked pub doors. Can you image the dissapointment? The ban was lifted in 1970, and by 1973 St Patrick’s Day became a massive civic and commercial festival and for better or worse its grown into our flagship for soft power world domination every since.

The Coatbridge St Patrick's Day Festival is on tomorrow at Main Street from 11-3:30. Bands, dancers, street acts, and amusements. Always a great family day out. They have had a late cancellation. Please get in touch if any singers or bands could do a 30 mins slot at 1:30.

Whomever owns this specimen, i pity you. To feel the need to say this about an innocent child is abhorrent. Have your moment of fame Eamon. I hope your employers and loved ones see your sub human commentary on a dead boy. Shame on you and all belonging to you.

@LUDENClassics Loved them since I saw Roger Moore driving a Bahama yellow one in the Persuaders when I was a wee fella !

The coolest street parked car you'll have seen this month.
