Two words for certain types of people, should you need them:

microlipet: one who gets all worked up over nothing.

struthonian: the person who buries their head in the sand and says ‘Problem? What problem?’.

Marine litter on Irish shores declining - survey Marine litter, including plastic bottles, cans and drink container lids, is in decline along the country's foreshores, according to Coastwatch Ireland.

Lowest level of plastic bottle litter in 35 years, and most bottles were older than the deposit return scheme. From a peak of 100 bottles per kilometre in 2010, it has dropped to just below eight bottles per kilometre in 2024 #spéirghrom #ireland

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.

Was looking for thermal bras online and they don't seem to exist in the way I was envisaging, so I've come up with a prototype

I'm a Dub and LOVE using ye (it's just 'funner'), but my family used to laugh at me for being a culchie 😂 Now I'm using it in Liverpool, and I've no idea what the natives make of it

I hate introductions, but I LOVE show and tell! It’s such a great way to get to know somebody, and with so many new faces joining, I thought we could do that here! Share a pic of something you made, somewhere you’ve been, your pets, your family…anything! Show us something neat and tell us about it!

I'm wearing a fleece inside. No hat yet. I'm sure it's not far off.

And who could avoid the tax altogether if they transfer ownership on time. Yeah, some work hard. But others rent out their land for others to work hard on. Others just buy land up at inflated prices to avoid tax. And others still just wanna avoid sharing out their centuries of generational wealth.

So glad I'm not the only one plagued by the fishing guy and the here's-the-inside-of-my-car guy

This is exactly the sort of post that makes me glad I've started the transition to being a #TwitterQuitter or an #Ex-X....

Wonder what Chaz & Wills will charge for use of their land. Will they also get a fee for the sun and air above their land, I wonder?!
