Blue Jam was a headwreck of a show.

I've always said coming downstairs in a Dublin Bus carrying shopping at it goes around a roundabout, then hits and/or weaves between speed bumps should be an Olympic sport.

I'm wandering around on the ground floor. There were these huge wooden doors from some building and I'm looking at them and thinking "oh they're gorgeous .." followed by "Why aren't they still attached to their building?..." I was so angry and that was before I saw the Sackler name!

Ah, the Big House of Stolen Stuff. Went to see Edvard Munch's The Scream there a few years ago, first and only time to visit and bloody hell, the colonial powers just VACUUMED up everything and anything, didn't they?!! (BTW The Scream was on loan. Oslo made sure they got that back)

It reminds me of 2006 when Ben and Jerrys thought a cool name for an ice cream was Black and Tans, until it was explained the fun things they got up to here in Ireland.

Still one of the funniest thing Iโ€™ve seen these past few years. It was retw**ted by MADONNA (much to Ellie Taylorโ€™s delight - canโ€™t blame her!)

Even Racists Got the Blues Most of the time, I feel a little bit sorry for people who make horrendous translation mistakes. This is not one of those times.

Met a newborn. He tiny, he gorgeous. There'll always be Connors in Ireland, but Hudsons? Not so many.

Aaargh, the Beef Tribunal! (Breaks out in cold sweat) Remember telling my boss when it finished "we will celebrate this day for years to come by eating fish". Liam Hamilton should've got a medal for listening to all that and not losing the will to live. Scrap Saturday's take on it was priceless.

Quarter of the way to rent! Would love to pass halfway tomorrow if we can get a good turnout for Guest Shopkeeper @detectiveken.bsky.social on Sunday 10:30-4.

Some online sales wouldnโ€™t hurt either! Next post office run is Monday!

Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory.

The female scientist says 
โ€œAnalogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?โ€

The male scientist replies
โ€œThat's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!โ€

They step out onto a balcony. She says:
โ€œPlease tell me you haven't built a library zeppelinโ€ 

This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds
โ€œIt's got a fax machine!โ€

It's been updated by the Guardian and RTE to him now being dead. Like I said originally, the planet just got lighter.

On a happier note, just raided the bookshop, and off for some guaranteed giggles later. The girl is off about town!
