It’s not AI. It’s clearly been very cleverly edited from existing material, which is why it works. I’m also not sure why you think splicing Casablanca and Eastenders has anything right-wing about it. But hey! You didn’t get the joke. No need to tell the rest of us off because we did. Bye.

Well, I’m not saying this technique will always work, but here’s a follow…

It’s a joke Gabriele. It’s meant to be overstuffed. And it’s not actually replacing the original. Maybe, it’s not to be taken literally. You go well.

Cardiff was joy! Tonight and tomorrow in Bristol Hippodrome, always a favourite venue; and then Inverness, Dundee and Aberdeen. Big week!

A welcome distraction from the woes of the world, Dara Ó Briain took us on a journey through the recent highs and lows of his own personal tragi-comedy life story.
An excellent way to spend a Sunday evening.

Ah, delighted you enjoyed it! Yes, the twist is fun, but was also delighted with how interactive the Woking crowd were.

I don’t know about you, but I’m still sort of processing that the US president stood up in the UN and declared that London is about to be under Sharia law, and the response has been “actually, that won’t happen” rather than “Jesus, that is insane.”

I already know “Du kommar aldri uit herfra”. Why would I need anything else?

Language learners! Currently combining Duolingo, Ella Verbs and Language Transfer to learn some Spanish. What might you recommend for spoken/writing practice?
Good sources for teachers, whether zoom or IRL?
And/or an app to will suggest topics and correct efforts?

Can't believe it's been almost 20 years since Three men in a boat with @daraobriain.bsky.social , Griff Rhys Jones and Rory McGrath came out. Wow time flies!

So, Hounslow council have banned Lime bikes, and licensed Forest and Voi; neighbouring Richmond has licensed Lime and banned the others. So every bridge over the Thames is now Checkpoint Charlie, with loads of Lime bikes parked on one side and loads of Forest and Voi on the other. Top work everyone!

Exciting to see Niet’s new works!

Honestly, would adore that. No plans at the moment though.

Dara O Briain @daraobriain.bsky.social · Jul 13

Huge thanks to Vicar st for three more brilliant nights, despite the heat! And thanks to everyone who donated to the @simoncommunity.bsky.social last night! Back in the UK from September, back in Galway and Dublin in January. All dates on daraobriain.com #recreationtour

Good luck on the journey. It has been a massively, enriching experience for me, I hope it is for you.

Came off-stage in Dublin into a city that is 10 drinks ahead of me. It’s clearly been quite the day here.
