I love Sean Burke's "Playing Acid Jazz for Elephants" sketch so much, and think "A cat's gotta play, slim" is one of the best lines in Irish sketch comedy. Even though nobody actually says it.

I know Gaston wasn't a good lad or anything, but at least he was the only one in the village saying "Belle is hot and I'd like to marry her" rather than "she's pretty but she's a total weirdo freak who reads books and we pity her"

One of the most jarring experiences of my life was being over in the UK writing jokes for topical panel shows, while Ireland was getting ready to lock down. Trying to come with gags about Boris shaking hands with everybody while Varadkar announced the lockdown on a big TV in background. Mad times.

You can watch this as a prequel like Andor, and at the end go straight to Revenge of the Sith where Anakin slaughters all the Younglings

Alright, thing is I have to drive my 6 year old to school cause my 3 year old & 1 year old are in separate creches on opposite sides of town cause our childcare system is so crap. And public transport isn't an option cause it's so crap too.
I did not realise this was my entitlement speaking.

I guess my fondest memory of Paschal is when he got RTE to apologise for drawing a comparison between a current FG "tax on children's shoes" dilemma, and a past FG "tax on children's shoes" dilemma

Have a Badly Drawn Boy CD in the car at the minute and the kids are loving it. He once praised a sketch I did about mental health (we were all mental health comedy boys once upon a time) and I officially snagged him as an official definitely real pal

My "Gaming is a Gateway" project is up and running!
You're not going to believe this, but playing retro games with a lovely bunch of enthusiastic young gamers was loads of fun.

Launching the gaming club today, and realised I had no speakers for the monitors we are going to use.
So now I'm doing some last minute soldering of DIY amp kits I had from a few years back. This is the life. Honestly, it really is the life.

The former Spurs manager was a big believer in energy lemons. And an ex-Fulham manager was a big believer in the healing power of cheese. Are there any foods that don't heal?

Hans pulling back from kissing Anna and his little speech that follows is one of the coldest things you'll see in the movies.
"Oh, Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved you."
"But you...you were so desperate for love you were willing to marry me, just like that."
COLD AS ICE
