Some fella contacted Radio Kerry last week to suggest that the reason Irish women my age are struggling to find romantic partners is because we swear too much, which means I've been wrongly assigning blame to the fact that I keep feeding potential suitors to rabid badgers

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

Baroness Hazarika, "This has been an absolutely shameful week for the Labour party"

"This is a story about male power and a boys club"

"Why was the Labour party so seduced by Mandelson?"

"To me, it was about a male power structure"

"uber-woke, net-zeroist, rejoinerism"

You mean being a fucking vaguely centre-left socdem?

Fucking inject it into my veins!

after 1 min: ugh this is dull
10 min: spin on that stone is off
30 mins: three in the house means nothing if your centre guard is ripe for a pick and roll
1 hour: SWEEP BITCH SWEEP

Made my first visit to the site of the Craigallion fire today.
A perfect excuse to share this lovely article about the history of the place by David Lintern on @walkhighlands.co.uk. All of us who enjoy the outdoors in Scotland should know about this history.

Forever side-eyeing people who seem perfectly able to say Johan Sebastian Bach’s name correctly and yet insist on calling a loch a “lock”

You could see the moment the penny dropped! Moment of the series! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #thetraitors

Cheese Linked to Lower Dementia Risk in 25-Year Study One of the finest foods available to humanity may carry an unexpected benefit.

"A new study has found that eating 50g or more of high-fat cheese a day correlates with a lower risk of developing dementia. That means all cheeses with more than 20 percent fat content, including brie, gouda, cheddar, parmesan, gruyere, and mozzarella." www.sciencealert.com/cheese-linke...

I know it's like the 47th most offensive thing here but the extent to which they have Not Thought About How This Works really pisses me off. Nobody is pure anything, you really don't have to go back that far before we all have so many ancestors that they're not so much "family" as just "some genes"

The Clydeside Christmas Village on South Street in Glasgow. There's something about seeing an outdoor funfair all lit up at night that always reminds me of that classic 1980s movie The Lost Boys.

Skies in Caithness Scotland, separated by 12 hours and 180 degrees.

Watercolour painting of selkies emerging from their skins underwater, with seals swimming around them. It's in front of a background of dark sea waves. #SpeirGorm #SpeirGhorm #Ireland #Art #TraditionalArt #Folklore #Christmas #BuyIrish

The selkie is a creature from Irish, Faroese and Scottish folklore who has the appearance of a seal in water, but sheds its skin to come ashore and reveal their human form. If someone finds the skin and hides it, the selkie cannot return to the sea. 🦭

Don't want to jinx it, but my first day at the OBR seems to be going really well.

First proper snowy woodland walk of the winter. Magic.

Why is the England rugby game on bbc1 but the Scotland one on a channel you need to pay for?????????? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Of course it is. ‘Why would I wink at my own daughter, pray?’ is my favourite line.

So disappointing!

Really not sure about the BBC leading U.K. news with Trump's autism crap. Why?

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

I make no comment on the Kirk shooting apart from to say Phil Lyman who doesn’t care about kids watching their pals getting shot in classrooms can say this: Speaking of the shooting, Lyman says: "3,000 kids basically watched someone shot right in front of them - it was really traumatic.

Dana Carvy as Tom Brokaw announcing the death of Donald Trump; the screen behind him shows Trump and a superimposed T-Rex. Below this image a chyron "1946-2025"

"President Trump dead today, eaten by a tyrannosaurus rex while sitting fully nude on a golden toilet."

They should feel free to crack on!

It was brilliant and I bought it on dvd!

🚨An important reminder of the trauma faced by asylum seekers.

Not just in fleeing persecution abroad.

Not just in the perilous and desperate journey to these shores.

But by the hatred and vitriol put on them by the right wing in this country for callous political gain.

I’m thoroughly fed up with the heat! The sunshine people have had their turn now. Time for some autumn now. #perimenopause #autumn

Really exciting new archaeology report showing that two people who died in 7th century Kent had West African grandfathers. It’s suggested they’d travelled here as traders and settled thanks to the Byzantine Empire’s trade network that linked North Africa to Britain
