I know it's GB news but this has annoyed me much more than it should have...

Done, falling a bit behind in my 'one book a month' target for 2025 but this is the first book I've stuck at for years.

It started well, dipped a bit in the middle but finished strongly, 100% deserving of its international acclaim and success. Well worth a read. #KilliansBooks2025

You having a bad day, David? You should go get some fresh air and maybe an ice cream.

It is. I got my steaks and charcoal anyway so if you can't beat them, join them.

Well, it could be the same right around the country but I'm in Dublin and so can't testify to the madness of others.

Except for cork people, they're mad regardless of the weather.

It's 12c and all of Dublin are acting like it's the 19th day of a sweltering summer heatwave.

Shorts & t-shirts, queues to get to the beach in Bray, no ice-cream left in Lidl and the smell of BBQ filling the air. Mad stuff.

It's an interesting exercise I'll look at later - I wonder how much I could swap out and what the โ‚ฌ difference in doing so might be.

But that's not why they're switching, they're switching or boycotting because DEI/Trump/Evil etc. (most are anyway)

We could have all bought Irish last year but didn't! But if makes people think then absolutely, it's a great thing.

I see the problem as being twofold. Firstly if you're (I don't mean you specifically) ideologically boycotting then you should boycott all - not just the ones that suit your lifestyle. The second one is volume, most of these companies are multi billion $ companies, it's hardly a dent in their cash.

08.03.2025 15:31 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Given about 85% of stuff in our shops is owned by about 5 companies, ideological product 'boycotts' are impractical and really nothing more than showboating.

If you're going to do one then you should do all and anyone who thinks that's practical is looking at this for next week's dinner...

Dupont off. That's a shame. Seriously, it is, the best game needs the best players, all the time. Sad to see him go. #IREvFRA

Can't say I'm 100% confident about this rugby match.

Ireland will need a lot of surprises up their sleeves to win today.

But as always, c'mon Ireland.

Spice bag, chicken fillet roll or a breakfast roll - we really must be scraping the culinary barrel of that's all we have to offer!

What about a beef and Guinness stew (or pie), Irish stew, a decent fry (hard to do with US sausages), Shepard's pie.

To be honest I've an urge for a spice bag now!

I'm actually ok with it - it's a little bit sour and a little bit of a 'fizz' if that makes sense but the family would prefer a flavour.

As it's only a 24hr process there are plenty of opportunities to experiment - I've put some raspberries into a bottle today, we'll see how that goes.
