Saw it for what it was and did the same as you.

We might have cracked a few mirrors too!

You know the saying - have wants more.
They only gave us the extra payments last year to soften us up for the election.

You wouldn't have been the only one with a questionable DIY haircut back then! God, when I think of my own hair and my roots 😬

They'll never get it. We keep telling them but they just won't, and don't want to, listen.

Depends on the set up. Some work directly for the salon, some rent a chair.

This!!! I'm in the very fortunate position of being the daughter and SIL of hairdressers. My SIL does my hair these days for a pittance - there's no way I could afford salon prices for a regular cut not to mention a colour every two to three months.

Good morning. Caught up with you on Liveline late last night. Ye really are getting hit on all sides right now.

Jennifer O'Meara @jenniferomeara5.bsky.social · 7h

Of course they do. It's a clever advert but they're trying to get out of any big pay outs.

Jennifer O'Meara @jenniferomeara5.bsky.social · 8h

Good point.

Ah here! There are people talking about voting for him "for the craic"- he could win and decide to really screw over Micheál and take up office!

She's always going to sing from the hymn sheet and tow the party line, no surprise there.
Am I the only one who thinks that Cynthia Ní Mhurchú always sounds like she's talking to a room full of Junior Infants?

Oh lord help me with this one! A round table (that isn't round) of fools who think they're Mensa material.

Absolutely. Add compassionate and empathetic to that list of attributes. Unlike her opponent.

Everyone has their limit, training or no training. I wouldn't have humoured him any further after answering a second time.

The video of the exchange is horrible. I don't know how she stays so calm.

Jennifer O'Meara @jenniferomeara5.bsky.social · 15h

Oh my goodness!

Amazing support today from passing motorists, cyclists and pedestrians on week 83 outside the US Embassy in solidarity with Palestine.

I was in some great company too, so I'd like to extend a massive thanks to all who joined me.

Back every Wednesday, 2-3pm!

All are welcome 🇵🇸

Paddy Power are paying out early on election bets. They're calling it for Catherine Connolly!

Lots of very cross people and the ministers just gave their usual stock replies while trying to sound sincere. You can end a phone call, face to face is very different.

Jennifer O'Meara @jenniferomeara5.bsky.social · 19h

I'll get it later so.
Just listened to CB. Jesus they're lucky it was a phone in.

Jennifer O'Meara @jenniferomeara5.bsky.social · 19h

I'm turning it on!
