I’m in Australia, but looking for an Amazon alternative I haven’t found better than the Irish bookstore @kennysbookshop.bsky.social - I often get discounts that effectively cover shipping, delivery times are good, and they ain’t Jeff. :-)

Ivan @navi226.bsky.social · 3d

Do. And make a nice strong cider for those of us who don't like getting up and going to the fridge too often.

Or if it's any good, in criminal matters, you could have barrister X has the 'permanent' job of prosecuting cases for the state in one county but could, in theory, represent an accused arsonist in another area.

They'd be unlikely to wear both hats, as it were, in front of the usual judge though

Maybe I just made it up but MAYBE that's why there's no Junction 8 on it.

Wasn't there an M50 junction moved or something because of, like, a fairy fort or something?

Cold teabags, innit. Like they genuinely work.

Gardai need to go full Landowne Road 1995 now, to be perfectly honest.

I assumed as much; point is that somebody has gone to the bother if setting so that the movie starts at 3 second mark and there's a musical chord in being.

This is active sucking up.

Only if we can send Jim Gavin* to represent us in Eurovision

Lads, is there anything to be said for Dustin running for president this time round?

Just put on The Jungle Book for the child on Disney Plus and I see that the "this motion picture contained depictions etc etc etc" thing that used to appear for ten seconds before it started is gone

IMAGINE if Brits retiring to Spain or Thailand were told to take a language test.

Well this will certainly do it www.gov.uk/government/n...

Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English

Migrants will be required to pass tough new English language requirements under a law introduced in Parliament today.

I'll never forget the look @seamusryan.bsky.social gave me when I flagged a cab in That London and asked to be taken to "Bahnes".

"Have to ditch the R, natives can't handle it doncha know..."

Joe Griffin @thejoegriffin.bsky.social · 12d

I keep forgetting that English people add a phoenetic 'r' where there's a vowel. That's why I didn't get that name 'Shaun the Sheep' was a pun for a good 10 years.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

This is causing a lot of confusion so there's a handy mnemonic you can use:

If your Gavin be gruesome, you'll find he's a Newsom.
If your rent he be havin', you've got a Jim Gavin.
