My beloved laptop is reaching the end of its life, mostly because over the last 7 years I have dropped it about once a week.

So I am diligently going through all my nested "Sort from Desktop / From USB stick / To be Sorted / Sort Me" folders.

I do not need that 2010 Bing Maps screenshot. Right?

1/ Judicial reviews are a safeguard, not a roadblock.
They exist to check whether planning and government decisions follow the law.
Most time delays arise from poorly prepared planning applications or unlawful decisions, not from the review process itself.

Polling basics is you don’t let your cohort self select like this. More appalling bullshit journalism laundering government bullshit form the BBC
Interesting thing to take away here.

BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded.

And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔

It feels like Patrick is continuing a representation trend that started in Ryan's last few years of the show but it does feel like he's more patient or perhaps is just more comfortable in dealing with the children and giving them space to shine.
Either way it was a great addition. #LateLateToyShow

Well done RTÉ and a massive well done to Paddy. He made the show about the kids, and let them shine above all else.
He's brought back a warmth and softness that was missing, imo.

Hey fellow old people!

C'est la Vie by B*Witched was released in 1998. 27 years ago.

27 years before 1998, the Theme from Shaft by Isaac Hayes was released in 1971.

It's just not the #LateLateToyShow if a 9 year old doesn't sing with the voice of a 94 year old pub singer who looks like they're made out of turf.

Hah, their teacher must have tricked the choir kids into wearing their choir jumpers for a "photo" or something.

Cunning.
