My 8th book is in my hands! GALLIVANTING WITH WORDS I don't know what the song is about but I think it's about the importance of buying books called Gallivanting Out next Thursday in all the shops. It's about how the Irish speak English. linktr.ee/colmoregan

I genuinely thought at first that one of the events was snooker.

@KillianM2 hi there - you know anything about any Mart and Market clips turning up on your tapes?

Sebastian Sawe could commute to work in central Dublin on foot at rush hour and still have a shorter journey than some.

I still wake up crying

stupid question alert: Are there more deflected goals now and if so is it because the handball rules mean defenders are either unsighted or off balance because they are in silly handsfree positions?

There should be a word for the particular type of thirst you experience after eating too many sucky-sweets.

@michaeldweiss haha negative charisma is perfect. It's like negative mass in physics. You can't comprehend how it might work, it seems impossible but once you name it does make some equations much easier to work out.

His negative charisma and unlikability is positively contagious.

@dulpit27 @KillianM2 would this ring a bell? x.com/WillyWoollyman…

@colmoregan @KillianM2 I'm nearly certain we watched the final at home, and we didn't have any of the channels so must have been on RTE...

@KillianM2 niche question - do you remember if RTE showed Ken Doherty's world final bout. I have a memory it was only a few frames. I remember following it on AERTEL for at least some of it. Ring any bells?

@WillyWoollyman @KillianM2 this is what i was thinking. I'm was almost certain i watched some of it on AERTEL.

@colmoregan @KillianM2 Only showed the last few frames. It wasn't all live.

@KillianM2 thanks a mill. it mightn't even be in them as it might have been a last minute thing.

@colmoregan Good question, not sure to be honest. I'll check the RTE Guides from the time when I get home (away till Saturday)

The collective meltdown among most at the far right regarding Péter Magyar's resounding victory in Hungary is probably the most telling moment you will see regarding the so-called "conservative" or "patriotic" movements across the globe. I will elaborate: Péter Magyar is not a lefty or woke. His ideology is center-right. Tisza will partially follow an even harsher immigration policy and continue some decisions made under Orban, e.g. opposing the EU migration and asylum pact, a core demand of many of the far-right figures. Magyar himself describes his movement a "renewal", not a "revolution". So why the meltdown? The answer is so unmasking. Péter Magyar and Tisza are no Russian puppets. They haven't forgotten what Soviet-Russia did in 1956. They made a clear stand against the Russian aggressions, both of those in the past and today. Furthermore, the system of rampant corruption Orban and his allies have built is not limited to Hungary. It has deep ties to foreign actors. It is obvious that it will reveal some very interesting money streams coming from East and West. So, we are not talking about Hungary alone, but an international network of right-wing movements actively collaborating. Most of those right-wing movements bemoan this development, and this development alone. It unmasks that their political leaning of being "conservative" was but a sharade. It was only about money and a deeply corrupt network benefiting them, with money streams coming from Russia and elsewhere.

Trump saying Pope Leo is weak on crime might be one of the funniest things he's ever said.

In fairness, that's a great line.

Probably making insider trading money off this as well.

If you're hosting any Avignon Papacy related info on your sites, best buy some extra server capacity. There'll be a rush to check why the US is threatening the VATICAN with military action. Yes The Vatican.
