Anything but mindless good taste. Political staffer; failed rockstar. Had notions, still do.

Wanna ruin my life? I'm legally changing my name if "Back to Bedlam" 20th Anniversary Edition reaches No.1. Comment your name suggestions below, and the most-liked comment wins. #jameswho

I’m probably late to the party but when did it become the norm for a GP to charge €70 for a 2 minute consultation? Money seems to have lost all meaning. #costofliving

Before you delight in the loss of a TD’s seat over the weekend… 1) they are human even if you don’t like them & 2) they have staff with mortgages and bills to pay who also lose their jobs. Do a private knee slide if you wish but keep your glee to yourself if you can #GE24

What an unnecessary and personal dig at someone who was brave enough to put their name on a ballot. Not an easy thing to do. Your fight is with RTÉ so no need to play the man rather than the ball. Cheap shot.

One aspect of my 30s that I wasn’t expecting was the decoding of language about what to wear on a #wedding invitation. Why speak in such cryptic terms? Black tie optional - is it black tie or not? Lounge suits - can they be made by Adidas ala Fidel Castro? Is this a puzzle?

Sinn Féin is more interested in scoring political points than engaging in constructive dialogue. The latest video from Mary Lou McDonald is a cynical and disingenuous attempt to dupe people into thinking that the government is not working. I don't think anyone is fooled.

So it’s solidarity for all workers unless Ruth doesn’t like them. Also freedom of the press, unless Ruth doesn’t like them. Appalling behaviour.

Can you imagine two worse dinner party guests than Gavin Pepper and Paul Murphy? Gavin would spend the meal complaining that the food was too foreign. Paul would protest that it wasn’t divided equally but never offer to host as he’d have to work out how to do that and pay for it.

Let’s charitably call this idea impractical but it detracts from the important point that no dog fouling fines were issued in the Dublin City Council area. That is absurd. Greater enforcement and more litter wardens to specifically target it can be done…. if the council want to.

Word of the day is ‘tamalou’: a French name for an older person who no longer greets their friends with ‘how was your holiday?, but with ‘t’as mal où ?’, ‘where does it hurt?’. There follows an enthusiastic account of aches and pains and doctor’s appointments.

This pearl of wisdom coming from a Sinn Féin representative who is backing the same candidate as the Labour Party, the Greens, the Soc Dems and a smattering of indos. There's many hot takes on the Jim Gavin situation but this, even by Shinner standards, is tepid at best #Aras25

Some #WinterOlympics2026 commentators need to be more inclusive for us new fans. Some of the gold medal winning performances are entirely indistinguishable from the career low points and I’d love to know why.
