Just passed three 46a buses in a row- one behind each other. Glad Dublin Bus didn’t change a habit of a lifetime on its last day.

Here'a a nice nugget from today's Sunday Independent/Ireland Thinks poll: 27% of those naming Virgin Media as news outlet of choice plan to vote SF, but only 14% of RTÉ fans. Might partly explain the move against RTÉ in SF's manifesto. Breakdown for 10 news outlets detailed in the paper. Fascinating

We saw this cinema with its gorgeous art deco facade in an estate agent’s window last weekend in Dingle, and hoped it would find a sympathetic buyer. Great news today - Cillian Murphy and his wife Yvonne McGuinness have bought it and will reopen it as a cinema.

It’s that time of year again! Love Scotland’s gritter map.
It's only right that my first post here is sharing Scotland's map of named ice gritters. You can follow where they all are in real-time.
Some favourites this year:
Sir David Attenbrrrrrr
Stone Cold Steve Frostin
Lord Coldemort
You're a blizzard, Harry
