Tiny tiny irritation. Fairy ad: "..lasts up to two times longer". There is a whole special word for 'two times'.

I do not talk to technology. I hate voice control shit, it's so much clunkier than just pressing a button. No Alexa, no Siri, no hey Google. They will never be in my house.

So basically they are going to burn the earth to a crisp for porn, their only and probably forlorn hope of ever making a profit.

His family are the block, they are part of it as much as he is. It's impossible to use some kind of mediation to reach a resolution when they just shout over anyone who tries to make them see reason. It's an impossible situation - I think they'd happily see him martyred in jail indefinitely.

I've been keeping an eye on that since before her organisation was formed and no, not a member during that time.

The very fact that CC represented banks in repossession cases as a barrister should prove to Leddin that she would have no issue whatsover dealing professionally with legislation she has opposed in the past. This is quite obvious.

Join the dots, Brian. It's not that hard.

Brian Leddin: Why I resigned from the Green Party over its decision to back Catherine Connolly

Party’s decision to support Connolly’s presidential campaign only deepened my concerns about its current direction

Not just previous charges, two previous convictions, at least one of which included a ban (not sure of length) on keeping animals.

I use chunks of the phone number of a place I lived in the 70s as pin numbers, logins etc. Never forget them. Also remember other numbers from around that time - a place I worked for a summer where we answered the phone by saying the number, two friends.

529,478 rejected Nice in the first referendum, 534,887 in the second. 862,415 rejected Lisbon in the first treaty, 594,606 in the second. They both eventually passed but you could hardly say that only a few rebel outliers voted against them.

Oh wait! I'm not older than Catherine. Point stands though.

Courgette - cannot stomach the texture, like eating rotten cucumber

Is Threads a film?

“Clint Eastwood” - to you the flimsy Steve tweet is a funny joke, to me it’s a war crime indictment

I'd say they'd bonded over their fondness for voting against legislation to ban coursing and giving money to greyhound racing.

Over the weekend, Fine Gael's Heather Humphreys has been keen to highlight her ties with supporters of her competitor, Catherine Connolly.

It comes as former Labour leader Alan Kelly confirms today that he will be voting for the Fine Gael candidate.

I didn't look tbh, just left. It's not the first time I've seen it but maybe the others were sponsored too.

Oh that crap! If there isn't a slip to recipe option I'm out.

American baking baffles me, aside from the cups and spoons stuff. Saw an image of a nice looking cake. clicked for the recipe on a baking site. The main and first ingredient was a Betty Croker cake mix. The rest was just for icing/filling.

That's not a recipe. It just isn't.

Absolutely ridiculous. Clearly a political organisation and ineligable.

Do the Iona Institute still have charitable status based on being an organisation whose purpose is "advancing religion"? Because this is purely political, which would disallow them from being a charity.

And no, you cannot separate Quinn from his wee club.
