Actually honked at this, I would say there’s no recovering from this but we all know Struward will keep on swinging in that alley like

A screenshot from Childish Gambino’s music video to ‘This Is America’ but with the bluesky username ‘Struward’ over the character shooting the hooded character in the chair which has the words ‘Irish people trying to talk about our own presidential election’ in. Essentially illustrating how Struward has assumed because the original poster is talking about a presidential election with a candidate who has the name ‘Gavin’ (his surname in this case) it MUST be the American election (???) because that’s the only presidential election in the world ever

Me: me, your future wife, just had a long day at work, came home, wanted to sit in silence for a while and now I want to monologue at you

Jamie: [while overtly and deliberately putting one (1) AirPod in] monologue away gurl

My usually incredibly active fiancé has badly sprained his ankle and is on bed rest so we’re rotting in bed together watching our individual nonsense, but weirdly this is driving him mad and he just said

‘I don’t know how you do this every weekend’

So naturally I’ve taken that wildly personally

[currently on the long drive back from Wexford, home in our Sligo number plated car)

Me, thoughtfully: do you know, when I was a teenager I would have absolutely *loved* to have a car with a Sligo number plate

Fiancé: why?

Me: Westlife are from Sligo

Fiancé: …do you EVER stop??

The honk I just honked

The two men fighting in background while man in foreground calmly just checks his phone meme except the text says:

Man one: Britain falling apart
Man two: America falling apart
Man checking phone: Ireland checking how all this affects Amazon deliveries

My fiancé is watching the football with headphones on, in the bed next to me right now, which means that *without warning*, AT ANY MOMENT, he’s shouting into the silence, or leaping out into the air

I don’t expect any of you to do anything about this, I just need you to know what I’m dealing with

We were in the shop tonight buying wine for my parents and the girl was tapping away into the wee machine while holding the bottle - we were both like ‘OH HERE WE GO, TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT, ONE OF US IS GOING TO BE ID’D OOOOO!’ and then she’s just ‘sorry, the till is frozen’

Like your heart, Sinéad.

“Here’s my go-to snack when I’m too tired to cook”

*shows us an entire chapter from a recipe book*

Pal, when I’m too tired to cook I rip the cardboard from a cereal box into strips with my teeth and just chew on them over the sink

When my fiancé’s away I like to keep him up to date with my TV Trash Binfire Nonsense shows

A series of whatsapp messsges from me to Jamie with no break, essentially a stream of excited consciousness, consisting of:

A MAN IS NOW HOOVERING HIS LAWN

A DIFFERENT MAN

NOT EVEN THE BUS CRASH MAN

LIKE HOOVERING IT WITH A VACUUM CLEANER

THE GRASS

THAT’S HIS VIDEO INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES

HIM HOOVERING HIS FRONT LAWN

my soul ascends to the heavens, like does the person expect the cop to reply “oh my bad, sorry, I thought you were, you can go now, this is so embarrassing on my part”

The TikTok algorithm sometimes shows me Americans getting pulled over by cops, probably because it knows I’m A Messy Bitch Who Loves Drama, and every time (which is seemingly EVERY time) the conversation goes

“Sir/Ma’am you’re now under arrest for DUI”
“No I am not.” 1/2

Look, we all know what Twitter is now but we all also know what it used to be, and that is, funny

Tweet one:

Moses a dirty bitch for picking up 2 roaches and putting them on the arc. Like a real funky ass bitch and you can tell him I said that.

Follow up tweet:

Sources close to me have informed me that it was Noah who was the trifling ass bitch… my deepest and sincerest apologies to Moses and his family at this time

Barking like a corporate dog

No body:

LinkedIn influencers:

Yesterday I was walking to an interview. There was a starving dog on the road. I stopped to feed him and missed the interview. The next day I got a call asking to come in and do the interview. I was surprised, but I went. Then the interviewer came in. He was the dog.

I’ve seen this tweet response hundreds of times and it never gets less funny

Headline: Liam Neeson says horse in new film knew him from another movie

Tweet:

*Liam Neeson walks onto set*
Horse: there he is
