Thankfully we live in a Republic where any child can grow up to do this.
If you live in Ireland, remember that in recent memory a single rugby-loving bank CEO cost the taxpayer more than every single welfare recipient in the state COMBINED. #SpeirGorm
I would rather 50 people got benefits they didn't need than 1 went without food or shelter.

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen and not a child in the house washed.

My computer got really racist after I upgraded to Overton Windows 11.

They're playing Christmas music in this pub even though it's still November. Can't wait to see the look on their faces when they realise their mistake.

Since when did you need a recognised code word to buy a ticket?

Just found a bad apple which means the rest of them must be perfect! Hooray.

This has been a hell of a week for journalism. Farage is racist and Penneys clothes are flimsy. It's just bombshell after bombshell.

Write to a politician and demand to know what they will do about WOKE PEACOCK PREVENTS HEARTWARMING IMMIGRANT.

The cabbage is absolutely the best vegetable to commemorate a group of religious bigots who were also colossal racists.
Cabbage is affordable, delicious, and astoundingly versatile, @giladedelman.bsky.social writes. The underrated crucifer “is fit for a king”:
The Most Underrated Thanksgiving Vegetable
Embrace cabbage.

I have not read RFK's sex poems and I don't intend to. That said, if someone pays me enough I will read them and teach a workshop analysing them.

Dublin Airport is the correct name. Anything else is dicking about.
The Dáil has heard a suggestion that Dublin Airport be named after the former Taoiseach Sean Lemass.

Any counteroffers?

Remember when Star Trek got cancelled and loads of nerds wrote begging letters and they brought it back and it was a massive success?

Liz Truss. Just saying, like.

The futility of doing an ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’ style octave-boosting version of whale song is that, due to the acoustic sound transmission qualities of sea water, other whales would have to be no more than 16 inches away to be able to have a good laugh about it.

Russia still hasn't declassified the Peig Sayers file and MI6 won't say if Vasily Mitrokhin managed to copy any of it. I guess my generation will never hear the truth.

I'm surprised this wasn't already the case.
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Meeting a friend for a couple of pints later but I just can't think of any vulgar roasts. I suppose I'll have to cancel.

Experimental folklorists at University College Dublin have created a new form of ghost. The spectre remained stable in the Large Fomor Collider for over three milliseconds before splitting into a banshee and a pooka.

This a key to a good comedy. There are others.
the reason the remake works so well is because it basically understood the key to a good comedy is just packing in as many jokes as possible because if one doesn't work you have forgotten about it by the time another one which does work arrives
