Oddly enough, yes! Keogh's & O'Donnell's are the Good Crisps.

A gorgeous (if chilly) morning in Sallins.

To be fair, it's much more wholesome than the eye-rolling and face-palming which her pun shotgun usually inspires in me.

Here, have a tissue and a hug.

A review does not have to be long or sophisticated either! Just say you liked it, or something you liked about it!

One of the best reviews of all time was that one-liner on ye olde Twitter from *checks notes* bigolas dickolas

It does matter, it does help.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

This is such an amazing opportunity to work with a leader in the field doing really important work!

As much as I'd love to apply, I already know I can't move to Dublin for 2 years. But someone else out there is going to get this awesome job. Is it you?

I once surprised him at Octocon when I asked him to sign a copy of "The Dark Wheel". His mixed expression of shock and delight still makes me smile to this day.

The front cover of the 1991 Titan Books complete collection of The Ballad of Halo Jones, which pictures a full-colour Halo Jones herself, holding a large space-age weapon, with other characters behind her.

Now I need to start buying the one author I don't know - since they're in such good company.

If the leader of your country can declare he's sending tanks into a major city to deal with non-violent protests against his own extrajudicial abductions by an unregulated and largely anonymous government paramilitary group, that's a fascist country that you have there. Sorry.

Only in Ireland: I'm at a pub event; barman seeks owners of 2 cars blocking others in pub's strangely arranged carpark; 1 of them is mine (morto!); I go out & apologise to man whose car I unknowingly blocked; turns out we know each other from 20 years ago; big hugs, & we chat forever in the carpark

It's all right, they have deployed a very technical piece of equipment for the "sand"...a tarpaulin. No cleaners were harmed during the re-staging.
