Two Englishman are in a restaurant in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. One says to the waitress “can you very slowly tell me the name of the place we’re in?” to which the waitress replies “ BUUUURRRRGGGGERRRR KIIIINNNNGGGG”.
I just remembered how much of a disclaimer they had to do before Wicked in the week of the Queen’s death, given that the opening words are: “Good news! She’s dead!”
Top notch!
I'm pleased to launch a major new update of the Andersonville Irish Project database. It contains details on over 1060 Irish Americans who died. New datapoints include place of enlistment, capture, occupation, together with Irish origins. Access it here: irishamericancivilwar.com/2026/03/01/m...
We are very sad to learn of the death of Dr Deirdre McMahon. Deirdre was an historian nonpareil, as well as a staunch advocate for archives and archivists. She was a great friend of UCD Archives over all the decades of our existence. We will miss her. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

A story about love, loss, grief, revenge, redemption- and acceptance of solace from the most unlikely places. Loved this novel by my colleague Frank Shouldice

@mcculld.bsky.social Amazing to hear Felix is doing so well. My wife and I had premie twins just before Xmas and had a four week stint in the NICU. Our son Michael was a neighbour of Felix'for a few days. His parents are incredible! Delighted to hear the staff at the Rotunda recognised
Not sure about that. Still astonished by the number of people who “watch” the radio…
I wrote about Bridgerton and the lot of the worker under sexy feudalism
