Machair Aignish nan laoigh 's nam bo.

It should be twinned with Carrickfinn in Donegal. Both are at the end of an isthmus called Braighe/Braade, both have an airport and are largely machair.

The time is 23:22. The current temperature at 54.004, -6.523 (Dundalk, Ireland) is 5°C. The wind is 11km/h at heading 165.

Your Dundalk is named after my Dundalk because it had a railway!

D'you know, when you look at it, we've more in common with our local piece-of-shit right-wing neighbour than our manipulative multi-millionaires.

Start from there, surely, then eventually we can narrow it down to the purism of our socialism if the majority of our problems haven't gone away.

That glass was washed with the dishes. The bubbles on the glass are an indication of grease in the wash. Wouldn't happen with a stand-alone glasswasher.

We don't have any moles in Ireland. I'm always stunned at people complaining about them. They're cute, but totally foreign.

No, but my godmother (who is a first cousin) lives nearby. I really should make the journey.

Ah, the summer holidays of my youth, when I could sprint up to the tower!

Surely "dextrous" can't be used for agile tongues? How about "eloquent"?😉

I understand that: the further from the old generator, the thinner the wires, and wind turbines are "in the sticks". But even so, local heating or batteries could be powered up for next to nothing.

Alternatively, there should be an obligation to build batteries at every intermittent power source.

There has to be a way to divert the "dispatched down" command on to smart switches in homes to make heating devices power up. I suppose there's no money in it for the capitalists, hence no will.

Sky has somewhat cleared in Kildare. Nothing.

Dúlamán is an old song in Irish. It's actually about seaweed harvesting and match-making.

I know, crazy that a Russian group chose to sing it.
