but I suspect Heather - being a supporter of country pursuits 🦊😢 - would be slightly more kink adjacent and her name is after all rhyming with 'leather' - and for me this trumps Catherine's possible affinity for the Catherine wheel 🎡- so much spinning around I honestly got dizzy 😬 -
a safe pair of feet in this instance seems much more preferable to Catherine's fancy footwork ⚽🦶
How either potential Presidency would affect the overall wellbeing of kink in Ireland is as yet inconclusive -
I don't know for sure because the camera angle never went low enough, unlike the presenters - but she feels like a basically decent person with a basically decent conscience who would do a basically decent job - so yes I'm back to voting for Heather - a caretaker Uachtarán -
I'm just amazed so many people are willing to line up behind her Joan of Arc complex..🤔
I bet Heather wears comfortable shoes though, but probably still stylish enough - I would not be surprised if she buys her shoes in the same shoe shop in County Fermanagh as Arlene Foster -
but Catherine Connolly is like.. 2 steps left of Corbyn.. so far left-wing on some issues that she's actually almost right-wing 😱 I always felt we had a basically solid left in Ireland and that the populist element was somewhat fringe..
and he also had the populist thing going aswell - kind of this charisma where people would support him not because they actually believed in most of what of what he said but simply because he was a vehicle to allow them to express their anger and indignation at everyone else -
she herself is adamant about that.. I am a lefty (on most issues - though not all) but she is the kind of lefty that still makes my skin itch.
She's a kind of populist lefty, if I'd been in the UK I would probably even have stretched to being a Corbynist, considering the alternatives -
A safe pair of feet..
"When I am President.." ~ Catherine Connolly
Having watched all of the interviews and debates with some kind of ghoulish fascination I'm back to where I started out.. 🙄😬
It seems inevitable that Catherine Connolly is going to be the next Uachtarán na hÉireann -
.. media platform is getting major abuse, it's not just the 'left', it's norms of basic human decency and compassion we seem to be struggling to keep alive.. I kind of feel we may have underestimated the challenges ahead of us..
Unfortunately I saw this video on a different platform, a guy who appears to have some mental health issues and has his pants down on a train gets violently beaten up in what basically turns into a racist attack - anyone defending him on the other social

I urge my elected representatives to immediately do whatever is in the scope of their power to educate themselves on the real risks of this technology and to ensure that this game of Russian roulette is shut down before it is too late

I have no legal authority as of yet, only the moral authority of my human dignity to demand that my consent and permission be sought by the people and interests who are advancing a technology that is completely unpredictable and uncontrollable and has the potential to alter..
Very sorry to hear this Rory ❤️

Whether we retain neutrality or not, we really need to ditch the sentimental resistance to being able to defend ourselves and our territory, the main problem is that given the rapid escalation of International tensions, that these plans are not ambitious enough..
Oh yeah, a long tíme since I read but this was great, an autobiographical whirlwind through the authors younger years

Elon Musk does his salute
Whatever his real intent, he did it with a huge amount of energy and determination, he knew exactly what he was doing - maybe it was his private joke to piss everyone off, but one way or another he's a twisted f*cker who should not be wielding this power and influence
It's like The Pirates of Penzance 😱
This is really dreadful, after the laborious efforts to re-establish small populations here. I'm rarely one for advocating harsh penalties but in cases like this I hope the perpetrator is found and receives the maximum penalties possible

I just discovered you on YouTube - I'm now binge watching your vids.. Really loved all of the Titanic ones!! Really fascinating and I love your corny sense of humour 😊😜❤️

Justin Trudeau obviously had a heap of domestic issues forcing this decision, but it is truly woeful that it becomes tied in with Donald's Trump's malignant and bullying interference in the democratic processes of a sovereign nation

My latest hibernation binge watch has been The Night Agent, based on the book by Matthew Quirk - I have to say it's the first Netflix series I've watched in a while with such excellent script writing, casting, pacing.. in spite the recent revelations of Netflix dumbing down
Great article, it is really scary to witness how Elon Musk is increasingly meddling in world affairs and emboldening the fringes of the far right - even Putin pretends he doesn't do this while Trumps best buddy is just openly stirring the pot..
Much as I despise Farage the fact that they were supposedly friends and batting for the same team just shows what a monster Musk is turning into, now trying to micromanage the politics of the entire world from his ivory tower as if he's playing a game of chess

Hope you're feeling better soon 🤞, it's a bad dose going around 🙄
He's an unfortunate but brave soul for having lived through that! Thankfully I was from the other end of Finglas where we only got beaten up by Fenian thugs 🙄😬
