It’s not the UK’s biggest party, certainly not by membership yet has consistently won a disproportionate number of seats.

I’m so sad to hear about the death of the marvellous Jane Goodall. She lived a long and good life.
I actually met her many years ago when I worked on a project in Canada raising funds for her work. She seemed old then. (Turns out she was the age I am now!).

Today’s entertainment is watching people lose their minds over the new Harry Lambert for Disney range at Zara. “These aren’t clothes for men”, they rage as they run out the door, having had their very essence challenged by a few colourful stripes and a fancy collar.
A promo photo of a man wearing a navy blazer and pleated trousers with black and white shoes and a white shirt with extended collars in the shape of Mickey Mouse’s big round ears. A man wears a brown sweater with colourful Disney characters, a long fluffy brown scarf and yellow flares. Group shot of make models wearing the Disney range in all its colourful glory. Polka dots, pinks, yellows, woollen twinsets and frilly collars. What is the world coming to?!

Weird coincidence. I walked by this today:
Rotten potatoes and sea-weed, or even grass, properly mixed, afforded a very wholesome and nutritious food. All knew that Irishmen could liv upon anything and there was plenty of grass in the field though the potato crop should fail." THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, JANUARY 1846

Here’s a link to the quote : www.thesun.co.uk/news/3482435...
and a screenshot
From The Sun: The bronze statue has been targeted by protesters in recent years, many of whom have escaped arrest after claiming to have merely clambered on the statue rather than damage it. Sir Keir Starmer told The Sun: “Sir Winston Churchill stands at the summit of our country's greatest heroes, and has been an inspiration to every Prime Minister that has followed him. “The justifiable fury that is provoked when people use his statue as a platform for their protests speaks to the deep and enduring love that all decent British people have for Sir Winston.

There’s a dance in Billy Brennan’s barn tonight. Alternatively there’s a show in The George tonight from 8:30pm. I’m biased but I’d choose that. More drink. More prizes. And girls, girls, girls! (Terms and conditions apply)

If you thought the arguments about who can use which bathroom were bad, wait til you hear about the argument about sinks!

Nílim cinnte go dtuigeann an Seanadóir cad is brí le “Independent”. 😂

I’m not convinced the senator knows what “independent” means. 😂

It might be a stretch to say tech companies “know us more than we know ourselves” if Duolingo thinks I’ve only made 917 mistakes this year.

Beautiful experience tonight at anu landmark’s production of The Dead in the very appropriate old Dublin setting of MoLi. It runs until January.
