Well Ireland it’s gonna be a very moist one.
The week ahead is set to be very wet, especially in the west. Flooding is likely in places, so stay up to date with the forecast and leave extra time for your journeys ⚠️
Here's how much rain you can expect by the end of Friday 👇

At least we’re getting the disclaimers on full show now.
This of course means it won’t happen.
Maybe they could setup a whole new agency called The Office of Value for Money (Ofval) whose setup costs of course would not be subjected to such tests.

I’d band these glasses, that won’t happen so the best thing to do is just never ever talk or engage with anyone wearing RayBan glasses, smart or not.

Scott also doesn’t do news, he does the occasional nose poking on local FB and looks up recipes on TikTok, he avoids politics of any kind like it’s a virus.
The other night, News at Ten comes on.
“Why don’t they just shoot that horrible cunt?”
I’ll let you guess who he meant. 😆

So I finally got Scott to watch a Star Trek last night, Starfleet Academy.
So after spending 20 minutes explaining Star Trek to him he said “why aren’t they on a space ship?”
I had to watch it again after he went to bed. 🤦♂️

Nothing will happen…. he’ll make all the same promises ever health secretary before him did. The Tories killed off any plans for new Hospital for North Tees so he’s only got himself to blame.

He’s in the right country but he needs sending to Dignitas not Davos.
He keeps referring to Greenland as Iceland.
His dementia is on full display. Just look at him slumped over the podium . Time for people to get up and leave the clown show.
