@bigfoofheart Overpriced phone chargers on wheels.

Does anyone have any opinions on CARS??????

This action by @GalwayCoCo to close the Misunderstood Heron at Killary Fjord is a mistake and should be reviewed. We need more businesses like the Heron and they should be encouraged, not bureaucratised to death. This is bad governance. irishtimes.com/food/2025/04/2…

This fox, (looks like a young vixen to me) came right up to us (three of the boys and me) in the garden last night. I'm standing there holding the torch. Lochlann videoed it. Completely unafraid. Have never seen this before.

@AgentDowling @JimIlSung @theirishfor Carghas, or An Carghas in the Irish for Lent.

@AgentDowling @JimIlSung @theirishfor Google Translate much? Ar iasacht means on loan. We're not talking about the past tense of lend.

Jah Wobble playing Swan Lake with a bangin' geezer band isn't something you see every night in #Dundalk #brilliant @realjahwobble
