With heartfelt thanks to the team at Hachette Ireland, I can now share that my first book, At Least It Looks Good From Space, is coming out this October.
I thought I was more emotionally prepared for this moment but it turns out I'm absolutely not. I hope you like it.

'In his exit interview this week, he told Morning Ireland: “The pinnacle of my ambition was to be the Minister for Finance.” Which, we can all admit, is a funny thing to say after you’ve just quit that job to move to what is very objectively a cooler job in every possible way.'

Sad to see Carl attack Paschal Donohoe here, who was clearly just a decent dimply fella doing his best*

Hahaha I’m loving this new Instagram feature where it warns you there’s only a few minutes left to view someone’s story with a bright red doomsday clock. Brand new ways to make us all more insane every day, just inserted into our lives without announcement.

The cool thing about the EAT SLEEP RAVE REPEAT mantra of the late noughties was that no matter who you were you could relate to at least 75% of it

FINALLY a judge is pointing it out explicitly.
The behaviour of Enoch (& the other Burkes) is a clear safety concern.
Genuinely, how far off are they from rationalising violence as appropriate to their cause?
