That fucking guy 🙄

Take your pick
We'd a gobshite take out our gate recently because he was playing with his phone.

It's a 8m x 2.5m gate, with lights.

Any cyclist relying on a driver seeing them and avoiding them has already made a terrible mistake.

If any of ye know Alan Shatter...

Can you tell him that the G-spot is a coded reference for Gaza, so that he can include it the think-piece some Sunday rag is inevitably going to print for him?

And rakes of people see apparitions on toast.

Scientists say it's time to consider whether we should tell the people who really believe it's Jesus on the toast that they're dumber than bottled shite.

The courts are public, unless they are in camera. JRs don't get special treatment.

And normal objections are public too (which is how it came out that an agent Supermacs put in a rake of fake objections against a competing business in Clare)

An irony of the nostalgia folk is their complete inability to learn from the problems they've encountered in the past

Johnny Cash would have bullied this writer so hard that the he'd have changed his name to Sue.

If you actually do anything like this, what will happen is that 2 of the counters will see it. Maybe if there is someone tallying (it doesn't always happen in the presidential), they'll see it. It will count as spoilt and it will be put in a pile of spoilts, and no one will ever think of it again.

As the former mayor of Portlaoise, Rotimi Adebari, used to say "If you want to hear what people say behind your back - go into politics. Then they'll say it to your face"

FFS is there anything more Tory than taking a public library of easy and healthy recipes, and putting it behind a paywall?

Of course! Central Paris, where bicycle rides outnumber car + taxi + scooter journeys: The perfect place to use to illustrate a bad point!

It's 'analysis' like this which reminds me why I cancelled my subscription (data-free political/policy/social commentary)

The best bit of AI slop that I've run into recently, I suspect that the amount of confusion that occurs between Globulin and Goblins is higher among AIs than doctors

Yeah, it's a real place, but it tends to look like this, not the ai mess that you used above

Yep, but the source is a Garda quote.

I don't think that vehicle is road legal here at all, given the way they market it.

It's pretty clear what an ebike is though, the Gardaí shouldn't be making this kind of mistake.

Also, I've never seen a repost ratio quite like this.

Are there 33 people from the MSFT marketing team on bluesky, or something?

Fuck, you're back!

I honestly can't imagine what goes on in the heads of these people as they get up in the morning, get dressed, have their breakfast, and step out into the world ready to make it a colder, harsher, more danger place for vulnerable people

I'm talking about the ones called "small", which you'd find on boomers, icebreakers, and aircraft carriers. Obviously civilian NPPs don't use weapons grade uranium, but they are also not small.

Zero days since the tans have been at it again.....

And a gentle reminder that the person at fault is the Newstatesman's editor (currently the dipshit Tom McTague from Unherd, the sometimes brexit whisperer for The Atlantic, and son of the head of a pro-brexit business lobby group), not the writer
