Really positive experience with Chill. Quoted me with my current insurer for a ridiculously lower price. Verification of materials simple. Docs in post super quick.

Drumcondra is full of Leinster rugby supporters going to Croke Park who’ve never been north of the Liffey, and IT SHOWS. Border patrol at Connolly Station was like a zoo – none of them had passports, and customs had to check their 'culture shock' rather than luggage.

This is by far the most abusive and hurtful email I've ever received. Marketing comms from Irish Rail promoting taking the bus to the airport.

Greyhound racing is going to be outlawed in Wales… with a popular petition cited as having an influence. It’s notable that one of the topic tags used by another news outlet was β€œgambling”… but here’s the thing everyone is coming around to: greyhounds are pets, not bets.

Dr Strangelove in the Bord Gais was incredible, an incredible show with some brilliant local tweaks by @aiannucci.bsky.social &co., topped by a modern brilliant theatre, an absolute joy.

Digital management will be going mad they didn’t inline link to the Indy’s reviews of vacuums…

β€œBREAKING” is doing *a lot* of heavy lifting here. But maybe the Indy staff are already working within a *squints* false vacuum and so can get away with it…

"Trump threatens 'very high' tariffs on Denmark over Greenland"

Guess that means OZEMPIC which one of Denmark's biggest exports to the United States is either going to be more expensive, or the highly in-demand supply will go elsewhere!

My best conspiracy so far is that Off Beat Doughnuts on Westland Row are intentionally piping *that glorious calorific smell* onto the Pearse Station platform

These are bylaws being put forward by Dublin City Council, not central Gov www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

Also, a lot of these organisations are not charities, with some having been denied this status by the Charities Regulator dublininquirer.com/2024/09/04/i...

I’m still recovering from the stunning
CMAT @cmatbaby.bsky.social on Jools Holland’s #Hootenanny last night. I watched it on repeat until the tv box rewind gave up on me. Thankfully BBC Music has locked it in time. What an incredible performance.

The router is even faster than the speedtest on the same network with an iphone. I called my fixed internet provider earlier in the month to ask about the price, explained the speed test/price delta and I actually got shouted at: β€œthat’s just mobile”

Is 5G legit here to eat fixed internet’s lunch?

Helping a family member by setting up a new smart tv for them and getting them sorted with internets. I’m absolutely blown away with how fast the 5G router is. Even faster than the fixed line internet here (and over half the price).

The absolutely glorious CMAT @cmatbaby.bsky.social has released an entire show onto YouTube and not only is it as amazing as you’d imagine it is: it’s even more.

It is wild that BT continues to have a stranglehold on that whole south side core to facilitate their car park.

Can only imagine how @tupped.bsky.social is listening to this...

Absolutely extraordinary radio that @clairebyrne.bsky.social on @rteradio1.bsky.social isn't challenging the stark revelations that Santa has a quantum computer recording everyone's data from the moment they're born.

Nobody’s had a better #ge24 election than men who’ve had Tribunal findings against them.
