Retiree, but very active interest in family, pets, garden, golf, nature preservation, entrepreneurship, even politics despite a bit of scepticism. #wexford #Ireland #Gardening

I’d like to share my (photo of) tomatoes, it’s been a brilliant year, nearly 40 varieties, but a bit of a challenge to use, share but definitely not waste…..

A US friend checks in with me to see if W Europeans will need explanations on who or what specific US terms are when he writes. Yesterday he asked me how crazy ‘Europeans*’ think the US is. This was in relation to the UN designated genocide in Gaza.

I had to explain I had bad news for him. [1]

Hope the next poll poses the question, on a scale of 1-5, will you vote on the 24th. Suggest poll analysis only on the 4s and 5s.

S31 is on Death of A Candidate.

But it needn’t detain us as it doesn’t count if it’s just their campaign that’s died.

Brilliant 😂

Neville Shekleton @nevshek.bsky.social · 7d

Probably, but, maybe not in 26. It really was a poor choice to advocate from a ff view

Neville Shekleton @nevshek.bsky.social · 7d

Surely there is scope in case of death or some other calamity. If not, very poor legislation

He might now attract folk who don’t like the others. Maybe a very subtle way to get over the line, if withdrawal not on

Likewise, but the thought of the possibility did briefly cross my mind on Monday

Neville Shekleton @nevshek.bsky.social · 7d

In what way Anne-Marie? Seems very subtle

Neville Shekleton @nevshek.bsky.social · 7d

Serious foresight Simon. I still sense it will be a tight result, very low turnout, maybe the presidential charisma will win…

New Gist: Presidential Numberwang

On a pure horserace assessment of today's Sunday Independent poll, Jim Gavin seems destined for the glue factory. But picking the Copydex candidate may prove fatal for Micheál Martin.

I’ll continue to leave some patches of nettles, and much more.

The financial cost, when off-set against "avoided time swearing at a computer for not turning words into pictures right" is probably a net profit (I did the sums.. it is).

And what I have is unique. Pretty. And communicates the message I was looking for.

Thanks @oisinmcgann.bsky.social

None of the other self nominees.

That’s a challenge! Preferably non party political, unless they meet the criteria of well known, respected, over 60, and have clearly achieved. Non political examples might include the likes of Pat Kenny (plenty of other media folk), Keith Woods, Sonia O’Sullivan + more Sport, business, charity ..

Neville Shekleton @nevshek.bsky.social · 13d

I’ll be interested, in spite of disappointment in the candidate selection, none of whom seem to have broad appeal.

No doubt she stands well above the others based on this evening. Agree with your points, 4 weeks to go (going to be hard to generate real interest though)

You are usually right, but I honestly knew sweet FA about 2 of the three. Didn’t learn much
