@kbrewFL @kgdublin Its Beef or lamb mixed with bread and spices .

@kgdublin I don’t even know what I just ate. It’s not meat.

Stopped by Leo Burdock’s on the way back to the hotel. Just wanted something light. Got what’s called a spice burger and chips and it was only 4 euros. Now that’s the best deal in all of Ireland!!

@TheImpalerKC @catturd2 So you are,a Russian fan boy now ? X

@catturd2 Fuck Merz. When the Russians roll into Berlin (and Munich) don't expect any help from US.

FAFO!

@plndrv18 @DublinAirport Feck all decent alternatives.. Sinn Fèin are grand but its always going to be the big 2 . X

@murticus @DublinAirport But people still vote for the same shisters!

daa, the operator of Dublin Airport, today published its annual financial results for 2025, showing: ✈️ Turnover of €1.18bn ✈️ EBITDA of €401m ✈️ Profit after tax of €230m Following the strong performance, daa will pay a dividend of €66m back to the Irish State, taking total dividends paid since 2024 to €165m.

@plndrv18 @DublinAirport Yep almost 30 yrs now .. metro is like a Derek Landy book .. pure fantasy

@murticus @DublinAirport That’s down to numerous incompetent governments!

@TheDailyDraught The one in the fishnets.. ooh arrr matron x

Left or right?

@fesshole Man . I done that once in termonfeckin many drunken yrs ago .. blanked out the Termon. But yours is genius x

There is a town in the midlands in Ireland called Castlepollard and years ago me and a group of mates went round blanking out the Castle bit on several road signs and writing Sue instead.

@RobLooseCannon Worked there over the years . Beautiful place but whoever introduced the rabbits should be shot with rabbit shxt.

Just 4km off the coast of Portrane, Dublin lies Lambay Island. This 600-acre wild, private isle is home to a few humans, a working farm, cows, deer and a troupe of Rednecks. But these are lad's of a different stripe, these are Red-Necked Wallabies! The way these Aussie and Tasmanian natives made it to Lambay is as interesting as the story of the isle itself. The Barings banking dynasty bought Lambay in 1904. They built a manor house, follies and a farm. The lads tried to turn the place in to a bit of a menagerie during the 1950s-60's, however these charming marsupials were the only exotic blow-ins that stuck around. At the moment Lambay's head honcho is Baron Revelstoke, who lives in a quaint castle on the island and is apparently a really nice bloke. The collective noun for wallabies is a 'mob'. The thriving colony received 7 new islanders when Dublin Zoo rehomed some of their own overpopulated troupe to Lambay in the 1980's. So what's the difference between a kangaroo and a wallaby? Well, the answer is biologically not very much. They're both marsupials, but Kangaroos are much bigger, they can easily grow to human size and weight. Wallabies are seldom taller than a metre and have a correspondingly lower weight. Wallabies' habitat is forests with sufficient cover and close food sources. Whereas a kangaroo's bigger frame and longer legs let's it live across large open places. A weather-beaten island in the Irish Sea may not initially sound like a perfect sanctuary for Wallabies but the thick, fertile vegetation and lack of predators provides a safe ecosystem. In fact, the cooler climate has stimulated the charming nocturnal beasts to grow thicker coats. But to ensure their comfort in the Winter the herbivores are treated to shelter and hay, along with their fellow more domesticated animals. Overall, apart from health monitoring, seasonal assistance and culling they are allowed comfortably fend for themselves. The healthy population size is between 60 and 80. Apparently you can visit and even stay over. Isolated island paradise, friendly wildlife and no Wi-fi...sounds like heaven to me. If I get to visit I'm bringing a wallaby costume to change in to and going native for the summer! Buy the Dublin Time Machine a pint and support the DTM Book ko-fi.com/buchanandublin…

@d_foubert St brendan the navigator.🇮🇪. first European to visit the America's .

Who was the greatest sailor of all time?

@sandresbahamon @SebaCruzadoUC Hmmmm Europe is larger and has a much bigger population than the USA.

@SebaCruzadoUC Sebastián no conoce la diferencia de distancias que hay en Estados Unidos y Europa. Es abismal!

La diferencia entre un estadio típico de Estados Unidos (Metlife Stadium) con una enorme playa de estacionamientos que es más grande que el mismo estadio, y un estadio típico en Europa (Croke Park, Irlanda). Los 2 tienen capacidad para 82.000 personas. Gringos qls adictos al auto

@Linajolie21 Merci beaucoup.😁

@murticus Excellent choix 😉

A simple "Bonjour" + "s'il vous plaît" + "merci" works miracles. Your Parisian waiter is not "having a bad day." That's just his face. He's probably thinking about Sartre. Lower your voice, raise your manners, and kill the 'how ya doin' energy. The French aren't rude - they're just not running a theme park for extroverts. Leave the baseball cap and fanny pack at the hotel. Learn five phrases. Walk like you have nowhere to be. Because you don't. The Louvre isn’t running away. Skip the beret and la Tour Eiffel. Don't expect dinner at 5:30pm or free refills on soda. Order the house wine instead. No athletic shorts in the Louvre. Dress like you respect the place that invented style. For the love of all that's holy, don't rush. Sit in a café, watch the world go by, and pretend you're not checking your phone every 47 seconds. Truth: France rewards the respectful and the patient, once you meet them halfway.

@Linajolie21 I know!! But its the honey pot for tourists .. I much prefer the Loire valley region and around Lyon .

@murticus Paris n’est pas la France 😉

@legal_scottmary @ithacarising Mills over taken by steam . Horse and cart over taken by trains . Modern life moves on . Governments have to move with the times . . We can't live in the stone age if the rest of the world surpaases us . and world war kinda erased a lot of old euro cities .

@murticus @ithacarising Actually quite a lot of European cities had large medieval centres up until the mid 40s. Paris wasn't touched. They had mills all around Montmartre. Ironically the Moulin rouge is the only reminder of this.

@legal_scottmary @ithacarising True , but the renovation of the city helped clean and sanitise the city. . Very few large European cities retain a large medieval area. Dublin only has a small part left .

@murticus @ithacarising Unlike most cities Paris obliterated its medieval centre to build all those avenues so it's a completely designed city.

@legal_scottmary @ithacarising Yeah true . Some parts like seine saint Denis are rough . But most tourists don't see that ,same as any large city. But tbh ,the facade is astonishing.

@murticus @ithacarising Paris is beautiful once you don't look beyond the facade.

@DVDfever @politixintheuk @Lesleyknibb @Nigel_Farage @TheSun Thats a "Jack "pint glass.. Camden Town brewery glass. Lovely drink when it a warm day .

@politixintheuk @Lesleyknibb @Nigel_Farage @TheSun That pint glass... WTF?

I took @TheSun on tour to talk turfing Keir Starmer out of Number 10. 👉 thesun.co.uk/news/38912546/…

@Platypuss_10 It's on the ground safely. Dont give 2 fxcks how it lands as long as I can walk off x

Emirates: "Runway's long, let's make it smooth and elegant." Ryanair: "Just slam it down and we're good."

@conorcoleary There is no carbon tax on commercial aviation fuel in Ireland.

You'd wonder why they dont just drop the carbon tax from aviation fuel? To be fair, planes have no alternative to this fuel.... unlike tractors! Ireland to seek cut in EU tax on imported US aviation fuel to ease airline cost crisis – The Irish Times share.google/JHxk9PKsIOa5fL…

@MissState1985 @3YearLetterman @splcenter @Adele Yes us europoors are so jealous of ye .. the 3 little pigs were wrong all along, straw and wooden houses are better . Long live the American dream. X

@3YearLetterman @splcenter @Adele Europoors long to live as affluently as the folks in Bolivar County, Mississippi.

This is what qualifies as upper middle class in the UK Yikes
