Middle aged friends, what are you buying your husbands/partners for Christmas? If you are a middle aged man, please tell me what you would like if you were to receive a present from your equally middle aged wife. Thank you! (No alcohol or coffee based presents, neither are drunk here!)

But what is never a part of the conversation around the #LateLateToyShow Appeal is how the process strongly contributes at a societal level to people who need services too frequently having to rely on charity, not rights, to get their needs met.

They’re talking about the Dublin traffic chaos on newstalk right now and focusing on public transport - no mention so far of work from home and how it’s being discouraged

This is this morning! Exciting stuff!
I will be on RTE's The Business tomorrow morning to discuss my work on the gender pay gap. Show starts at ten and I expect to be the first guest on. Per usual, they'll have folks ringing in to say I'm talking nonsense, so if you're listening, please consider dropping them a message to say I'm not :D

Well that was mad
Just noticed that Channel 4 has Anna and the Apocalypse available for free. It's the Scottish Christmas zombie musical comedy you didn't know you needed. It's seriously fun.
