It’s been a year since I started my band, 1023 megabytes. Still not one gig.

Local recreational cyclist constantly being yelled at that
"it's not the Tour de France" considering taking his shot at the world renowned 23 day bike race after all this encouragement from local drivers.

Goodbye to this mythical creature that appears just once a year on this day.

See you again this time next year friend.

Just discovered someone has put the dishwasher on "Eco".

Of all days to pull a stunt like that, this, the most important dishwasher day of the year.

Time to answer the most controversial Christmas movie question...

Is "Die Hard 2" a Christmas movie?

I tried to find a photo of Christopher Plummer riding a bike, and instead I found this photo of a guy named Chris who's a plumber, which is even better.

Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

And the question is: "Name the only Suede gig you'd deliberately avoid?"

The keeper going up for the last minute corner, being caught on the break and then conceding into an empty net is always hilarious.

But it's just so much more satisfying when it happens to Rovers.

Remind Prez that his favourite Tankie is the Irish one. Looks at Ukraine, sees a large, nuclear armed neighbor to the east that his history of inflicting famine, invasion, cultural & language suppression and thinks, "they must be the good guys".

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

We should solve the housing crisis while simultaneously not doing anything I don't like.

This is how NIMBYism works. Each objection in isolation seems perfectly justified and logical. Up to and including defending a parking ramp at the airport.

Going to be the handiest manhunt the Gardai will ever have, just set up a Twitter alert for "Enoch Returns", and job done.
Gardaí have been unable to locate Enoch Burke after twice calling to his house yesterday to imprison him for contempt of court.

A High Court judge ordered the former teacher's return to prison on Tuesday.

🇮🇪 LONG STORY SHORT ON IRELAND’S WORLD CUP PLAYOFFS:

We will have home advantage for our semi-final as long as:
• Bosnia don’t beat Austria on Tuesday
• Wales don’t beat North Macedonia on Tuesday

The seeding pots are based on FIFA’s world rankings and, as things currently stand, Ireland are pot 2.

This #FAICup final is creating a massive conflict in my two favoured outcomes of any football match (in order):

1. Any result that is good for #Bohs.
2. Any result that is bad for Rovers.
