E-bike 'library' to let Cork residents see which suits their needs
Regional reports from the Irish Examiner team
Thanks Liz Dunphy and the Irish Examiner for reporting the new e-bike library being put in place by Cork City Council.
Local residents will be able to borrow an e-bike and try it out at home, on their commuter to work — and where ever else it takes them for four months with just a €50 deposit.

In every regard.

I had a tonic with, what many would dismiss as a dash of, Gunpowder Gin on Xmas Eve and all I can say is the family was damn lucky they got anything to eat the next day.

Who remembers the Western outrage when the Taliban (who were public enemy #1 at the time) destroyed Buddhist sites in Afghanistan?
How Western Media raged.
But now - the same media doesn't seem to care.
Funny that.

It's like those 'child proof' bottles that require a child to get the damn things open.

But obvs not the people of these islands who are transgender, immigrants (unless white), pro-Palestinian, homeless, renters...
Come to think of it I believe they mean "people of these Islands who are just like us in every regard".

An Israeli fund backs one of Ireland’s biggest landlords, but who else?
As the government courts more international money for Ireland’s rental sector, tenants say they want more transparency around who they are renting from.

Shades of "not everyone who opposes gay marriage is a homophobe" followed by "can't we just be polite" in the face of not polite moves by 'might not be transphobes' to ban trans people from public life as 'not transphobes' feel ick.
Words of a man who 'came out' after the heavy lifting was done.

With a notable tendency to that distinctive public school boy type of misogyny, particularly where dykes are concerned.
He's not LGBTQI+ - he's what we used to call a PSF back in the 80s.

My aunt insisted her new husband go from Douai to Dewey which imo was not fantastic.
Their adult children use 'Dew'.
Dew.
I mean seriously.

No. But much sympathy. My 2nd next door neighbour (terraced houses) decided to do external wrap, interior re-fit, garden fuckery 3 years ago. They still haven't finished 😕. We're on installing new kitchen now.
I have grown to loathe them with the fire of a 1000 suns.

Could somebody who works in a #bookshop and has access to the Ingram system check my title is on it and what the terms of sale are please?
I have a lot of publicity coming up and I want to make sure it’s up there and everything is present incorrect.
DM me.

When I was training as a chef we 'visited' a slaughter house.
Slaughter is the correct word.
It was horrific.
Casual cruelty, cows screaming in pain and terror.
Death at it's most brutal.

He blocked me after I referred to his band as "Amply Fed". It's not like I had even tagged the humourless git.

There was a wee flurry about it when Russia first invaded Ukraine but apparently there were sufficient brown envelopes in circulation to paper over it.
