Waging war on the inappropriate use of the apostrophe since 2003. Views are my own, unfortunately.

There was no link in the advanced warning email sent last week and no email this morning as of 10:30 am and yet the link from last year lets you into the waiting room at least but all called showing as sold out. I assume there will be an email today?

@dlLambo The third lad in Kneecap obviously still hasn’t forgiven Weller for breaking up the Jam

@paddycosgrave Will you send me the YouTube link for that, chief? Cheers

Trump’s words to Zelenskyy in the White House were mild compared to those of other US Presidents. Below for example are the words of President Lyndon B Johnson when speaking to the Greek ambassador in June 1964:
“Listen to me, Mr. Ambassador: Fuck your parliament and your constitution. America is an elephant. Cyprus is a flea. If these two fleas [Cyprus and Greece] continue itching the elephant, they may get whacked by the elephant’s trunk, whacked good…. We pay a lot of good American dollars to the Greeks, Mr. Ambassador. If your Prime Minister gives me talk about Democracy, Parliament and Constitutions, he, his
parliament and his Constitution may not last very long”.
Greece’s parliament and constitution did not in fact last very long. A short time later a CIA orchestrated coup installed a brutal military dictatorship.

Hey @coldplay , any chance I can get a refund on that new album that I bought on the sole premise of it helping me to get tickets (which it didn't). Thanks
English

@oasis Make sure you get rid of the expensive tickets in the presale tonight lads....
English

@oasis 15 hours between the release of presale info and the general release in Ireland - when does the presale happen then?

Due to a last minute surge in pre-sale ballot entries, a number of confirmation emails are still being processed and sent out.
The deadline to confirm your entry has now been extended to 10am BST tomorrow morning (Friday 30th August).
If successful in the ballot, you will be contacted tomorrow by 5pm BST with pre-sale access information.
Thank you for your patience.

Gee thanks @MaldronHotels, what a bizarre coincidence that you have a technical issue surrounding the Oasis tour dates. I now plan on standing outside your hotel with Liam Gallagher and shouting "shithole" at the end of each night. Bad form.

Whoever decided on lobbing a presale into the mix is now top of my death wish list #oasis2025

@sambosravioli You are right. The whole world will have a clear run at those Dublin tics for an hour. No Irish people will get tickets. Gavin Pepper will have a field day.

Thing about Oasis is that the music bores will shite on about how ‘derivative’ they were, but they were such an exciting band, with a frontman full of swagger, that meant something in the aftermath of the darkness of grunge and Kurt’s death. A band for the times. Fucking rocked.

Don’t think it’ll ever happen, but by Christ I’d be first in the queue

@BrophShane Am I misremembering it or was there a College Green event the night before the 1998 AI final with the Saw Doctors and maybe Divine Comedy?
English

Why don't Dublin City Council organise something like this on All Ireland Final weekends?

Hello, Dublin. @CollegeGameDay kicks off at top of the hour. What. A. Scene.
