Me, reading how the CIA Factbook used to describe the midlands ("a shallow depression") and having it conjure forced memories Christmases in Roscommon:

Fucking nailed it, Mr. Bourne, fucking nailed it

his killer being a man who murdered three people including a pregnant woman who he also raped is a perfect demonstration of how ‘paedophile hunters’ are just violent men looking for a socially acceptable target for their violence

Physics worked the same way back then, if you were to open the straps of the bag as is, everything would fall out the bottom

My smarter half is doing a ATU bioinformatics course on the side, I've seen a few of the online platforms and this seems to be one of the better ones.

There's a taster if you want a poke around (and the course director's details are in there)

Long-distance video of two White-tailed Eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) in the River Little Brosna Callows SPA last month.

NPWS confirmed that the bird in flight is a female released on the Shannon Estuary in 2022 as part of the reintroduction programme. The other bird's tag was not visible.

Greasy fried mushrooms for breakfast?

It's like you chopped snails and brought them up to room temperature.

How do people do this to themselves?

Two starlings, both alike in dignity. One is dive-bombing the other one.

This remains the best picture of some birds I have ever taken.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

On the one hand, antisemites have married Jewish people before (and there's a whole psychosexual fixation on 'the Jewess') so your premise is flawed, but (and more importantly) on the other hand is the fact that Amy Gertner isn't Jewish.

What evidence do you have to assert your claim?

They're always on the job so they know that they shouldn't curse, but it's not a sin, it's just that you're not supposed to curse at work.

When they're watching sport or playing golf though....

Seeing a bunch of people reacting to news of Microsoft's latest bullshit by saying that they're considering a move to Linux but find it intimidating. And honestly, your day to day experience of using a distro like Linux Mint or Ubuntu will basically be the same as using, like, Windows 7.

Any scant reading into the Bengal famine and you'd want to burn Blenheim palace to the ground, and do it twice like the Churchills did Cork.

He was lucky in his last war, which undid his terrible record of his other wars.

And even then the Brits voted him out only 8-weeks after Germany's surrender

People deserve the chance to move on from their past.

Lynn Ruane’s Spent Convictions Bill would give people a real second chance to work, volunteer and rebuild their lives.

Because people shouldn’t be defined forever by mistakes they’ve already paid for.

When people look at Connemara and other areas in Ireland, they see them as bare.

But they don't have to be like that, we just need to stop the sheep grazing and they could look very, very different!

A German court has ruled that it is legal to state that the man who runs the Müller (Rice) empire is a supporter of the far-right AfD. Müller repeatedly denied it, which says everything about how bad he knew that association could be for his business. I hope the boycotts intensify.
