Interesting how the meaning of words changes over time. For example, at airports, boarding used to mean you’d be getting on the plane whereas today it means you’ll be herded into a stairwell to wait for an hour.

I decided today that I’m going to see if I can find the restaurant with the highest number of brothers. I am on strike and have nothing better to do with my time. Please join me.

The cashier in the coffee shop said "That's gonna be €7.20" and my 114-year-old mother said "Ok can you tell me when it actually is €7.20 and I'll pay it then" and everyone in the coffee shop applauded.

Those BBC negotiations in full: “Delete the tweets” “No” “Okay, well, apologise for them” “No” “We’ll get somebody else in to do your job if you don’t” *Everyone downs tools* “Will you at least promise not to tweet political stuff in the future?” “No” “Okay, we have a deal”

Good news! @eir has confirmed that 30 of their old broken phoneboxes will be removed from Dublin city over the coming weeks 🥳 They've given me a list of the ones they will remove. They won't be replaced with new ad displays either.

Last year, I went through 22 planning applications for these eir 'telephone kiosks' which are primarily just advertising units. This week, I made 7 planning enforcement complaints to Dublin City Council and hope to submit several more.

We can understand Russia easier if we see it as an Iberoamerican-type empire that didn't break up yet. Russian Federation holding Siberia is not unlike Spain holding Mexico or Portugal holding Brazil (You can get Eurasianism better if you see it as the Russian Lusotropicalism)

My son has lived through four chancellors, three home secretaries, two prime ministers and two monarchs. He's four months old.

A priest, a pastor, and a rabbit walked into a clinic to donate blood. The doctor says to the rabbit: "What's your blood type?" "I'm probably a Type O", the rabbit replied with great sadness.
