There are so many Monster Mash sounding tracks from the 60s on there. I guess people couldn’t get enough of those novelty tracks back then.

That’s a wrap on recording series 5 of the New Drama Hour at the @nearfm.ie studios. We’re deep in post-production right now but the series will start airing at the end of this month. #AudioDrama

Feel like it would have been late 90s or early 2000s when they last charged no fares on a strike. Search engines are all garbage now so hard to find a source on anything.

Dublin Bus workers used to do that alright. But, yes. I believe there was a legal challenge against the practice so it doesn’t happen anymore.

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.

I’m sorry. If you sell me a Mint Aero with no bubbles I’ll be taking you to court for emotional damages and my pay out will far exceed €10,000.

They already ended free speech to stifle the Palestine movement a year or two ago but fwiw I am genuinely sorry to see it's affecting talk-show hosts now too.
