@MrPitbull07 Lennon was a fraction of a man.

By early 1969, John had married Yoko, leaving Cynthia to raise their five-year-old son, Julian, with very little financial support. Although John was a global superstar, he left Cynthia with only a small divorce settlement. It made it extremely difficult for her to maintain a home and secure her son’s future. This was the part of the story most people never saw. In the years after the separation, Paul McCartney stepped into Julian’s life in a way that felt less like an uncle—and more like a steady presence. While John was absorbed in his new life, Paul made a habit of visiting Cynthia and Julian, quietly checking on how they were holding up. That concern led to something lasting. In 1968, while driving to see them, Paul began humming a melody—something soft, something meant to comfort a child caught in a situation he didn’t understand. He called it “Hey Jules,” a direct message to Julian, urging him to take a sad situation and make it better. The song would later become “Hey Jude.” But comfort alone couldn’t solve everything. Within a few years, Cynthia found herself in a desperate financial situation. She needed money quickly—just to keep life stable for herself and her son. So she made a painful choice. She decided to auction off the deeply personal love letters and hand-drawn sketches John had once sent her during their teenage years in Liverpool—long before fame, when everything felt certain. These weren’t just keepsakes. They were pieces of her life. Letting them go meant letting go of a part of herself. The collection sold for a high price. And soon after, the identity of the buyer was revealed. It was Paul McCartney. He had quietly paid a small fortune—not to keep them, but to return them. A few days later, every letter and drawing arrived back to Cynthia, carefully framed. Inside was a simple note: “Never sell your memories. Love, Paul McCartney.” It was more than kindness. It meant Cynthia could survive—without losing the most personal parts of her past. Because true friendship doesn’t disappear when everything else falls apart. Paul McCartney showed that being a friend isn’t about words. It’s about showing up—and protecting what matters when someone else no longer can.

@JeromeQuinn Jimmy Smyth was a seriously underrated commentator. His passion was unreal.

I was sideline presenting that day. Jimmy Smyth was the commentator. No-one either knew or noticed McCabe come on. Eamonn Coleman also went to the States after it and on his return in September, Derry, to their shame, sacked him.

@Slyone1069 Stop reading this clown. He lives for this kind of attention.

Jack O’Connor has been involved in 8 All Ireland inter county successes as a manager and 3 as a selector - just to put facts on record - instead of crazy hyperbole

@fingac15 "Ciaran McCabe, the man". Iconic commentary.

The Decisive Goal: With Derry leading by two points in the final six minutes, Down's Ciaran McCaberifled a shot into the roof of the net after a perfect pass from Greg Blaney and Mickey Linden, sealing the victory. Linden scoring 0-5 from play that day also. Was baking hot too

@TheCinesthetic Disagree with this. When I heard Schwimmer had the role of Sobel I was furious but I thought he nailed it from the first scene.

David Schwimmer in Band of Brothers (2001) showing up as an officer just hits weird, because Ross from Friends (1994–2004) is so ingrained that it’s hard not to see him instead.

@aaronhinton92 @Rairetouch @jk_rowling Totally agree. The Kings Cross scene in the last book? Although it took my third reading until the significance dawned on me. 🙈🤣

@Rairetouch @jk_rowling Harry Potter is filled with beautiful religious allegory. Christianity is not about closing off your mind and having tunnel vision and never reading other books, dude.

If you're the mother who was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to your child on the LNER train from London to Edinburgh yesterday, one of my grown up children was listening and says you did the voices brilliantly❤️🥹

@DawgJay100 @GAALeagueTables I think they became Centra! 🤣

@GAALeagueTables VG?

Have rewatched the game and have watched The Sunday Game. Donegal more than VG. Kerry much less than VG. Linesman fluffed his lines in respect of the card. Red all day. Sin é and on we go.

@Global_GAA Just as well it happened now. It means that the carte blanche he normally gets in the Championship won't be allowed. He basically refereed last years Ulster Final.

That man gets away with some stuff but that's a howler from the ref and linesman there! Certain red, no arguments.

@JohnFogartyIrl @johnjazzharan And the Kerry gold now looks like it has faded in the wash.🙈

As they did in the round game in Ballyshannon, Donegal and Kerry will wear their home kit in Sunday's Division 1 final. As Donegal's jersey is now predominantly yellow, the jerseys are no longer considered a clash.

@gto06 Livecrime is best live album of all time. A band at its peak playing one of the greatest albums in history. SFX Oct 91.

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime - '88 Release #3 I have to spin this at least every 2 months without fail. Why? The greatest rock opera story ever penned. Better than 'The Wall' IMHO. Lost my mind down front seeing this live (several times)...never EVER gets old....

Well done @DessieWard

@BBCSportScot Commentator is a simp.

Motherwell midfielder Callum Slattery has been handed a four-game ban, two of which are suspended, for simulation which resulted in a red card for St Mirren defender Richard King. #BBCFootball

@talkSPORTIE Fucking losers. Talk about an inferiority complex. 🙈

"Ireland qualify but England win the World Cup?" Safe to say Irish fans are torn.. ☘️

@anitathetweeter You should never post again. 🤣🤣🤣

Trees are good

@dun_murphy @DeclanBurke2 Like Kanye West. 🤣

When did 'Czezh Republic' become 'Czechia' in Irish media? #CZEIRE

@DeclanBurke2 When we drew them. Its like Kiev only became Kyiv when the war started.

@RnRNationlive @motlrm Its meh. Like all of their albums. They are the epitome of style over substance.
