Retired old Irish fart. Greta is wonderful. Rearm Europe, Hates Far-Right, Anti-vaxxer child-killers, Racists. Glad to be in Europe with sane gun laws, accessible medicine and decent social services, even with taxes. No messages, no requests for money

What’s wrong with the ace and the Tower? Tourists would just love it.

Brilliant one.

Where will they put the second Russian base? (The first one is in the Oval Office)

All the advertisements these days ( O no, I used that cursed phrase) use the term “Two times”.

When did you fuckers all forget the term “twice”?

For Irish readers:
If schools in disadvantaged areas are “Deis” schools, are fee-paying schools for rich kids “Dosh” schools?

Mark my words, anyday now they’ll ask the Brits to come back.

Yeah, Right.

Deport everyone back to where their ancestors come from.
We’ll all find the Rift Valley in Kenya a bit crowded.

Brexit was dealt with in exactly the same way. That ended well, too.

What’s wrong with the Euro?

(Mutters: it’s not as if Scottish people ever spend any money anyway)

As an accountant, I never met anyone rich who wasn’t “Self Made”.
So a 100% inheritance tax (on real wealth)would have no effect.

In the Irish Presidential race, Poor Michéal Martin ( a man I hugely admire for taking on big Tobacco) has been embarrassed by Jim Gavin’s financial woes. Imagine if it had been Bertie.

If I could talk to my 17 year-old self, the message would be,”Don’t become an accountant@

How would you cope without the wisdom of the crew in Westminster?

So climate disasters are not to be worried about. Ask anyone whose house has been ruined by flooding.

The bullets used by US law enforcement are also banned for use in warfare.

Given that the US education system is a source of amusement to all us foreigners, it is hard to see how it could get worse.

When these people are convicted of crimes, or rather if ever, fines in the tens of billions would be appropriate.

One of Ireland’s presidential candidates has dropped out after the news that he owed a former tenant €3,300 for years.
How could the news have leaked?
His former tenant was Deputy-Editor of a tabloid.
Oops.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social hearing your discussion of the flag issue. Over here in Ireland low-lifes are using our own flag to show their racism.
An amusing note is that my daughter is looking to buy a house, and eliminating from her search any areas with flags.

In the 1950’s and 1960’s Ireland was a stone -age shithole. Donagh O’Mally’s education changes made us a modern European country. I was there when it happened.

I can’t believe that. You lived in Scotland AND you took out your wallet?
