I will never be able to put into words how frustrating it is that we're constantly lumped in with the UK in terms of content offered on streaming. No Doctor Who or Wallace and Gromit because "they're on the iPlayer". Only problem is that we can't feckin' access it so we're left wanting!!

"DEC'S remit doesn't include traffic management" and other hilarious lies to tell your friends.
A bunch of car park owners have been granted a High Court review to try and get rid of the Dublin City Transport Plan.

So far the plan has delivered faster buses and reduced traffic - while footfall keeps growing.

Backwards stuff that must be resisted.

Dublin City Council acted 'beyond its powers' with traffic changes on quays, traders say | BreakingNews.ie
By way of judicial review, the traders are seeking to challenge traffic changes and restrictions on the use of private vehicles at O'Connell Bridge.

Crazy that this had to fo as far as it did in what seems like an open and shut case. A lot done on data protection, a whole lot more to do.
In 2018 I launched my complaint against how the #CatholicChurch retained my baptismal records which I deemed to contain incorrect information. I am not Catholic, and their records said I was.

I ended up in the Irish High Court trying to get the DPC to act, which they eventually did. 1/6

The fact that they brought back Guaglione and had a Nitrosurge can doing the famous dance 30 years later proves that Guinness truly are the kings of advertising.

What's the stupidest thing you ever got in trouble for? I have... a few, some of which I've detailed here before.

But you might not have heard about the time the Daily Mail did a bullet-point scare job on me in 2016, because I tricked Selfridges staff into printing rude words on some Nutella jars.

Keep seeing people say the Paul vs Tyson fight was rigged.

I'm going to refute this, not because I’m defending Jake Paul, but because I want people to understand the specific scam that’s happening.

When you dont understand how you're being scammed, it just means it can happen again:

I know that the #GameAwards is really just a big ad that's taken over from E3, but shortlisting a DLC for Game of the Year a second time isn't helping their want to be taken seriously.
