A controversial late entry has upended the competition. If late entries are allowed, I'll hold out until Manhattan turn up
Doing some Crisp Science. In a double blind test, FreeStayto are the clear winner. The test subject that was given two sets of PresbyTayto was very annoyed
"Hello barkeep, can I have 2.2727272e-7 Olympic swimming pools of Guinness please"
Nobody on the beach in Tory Island earlier, but I did spot more than two on Magheraroarty later on.
First time I've seen Starlink as public WiFi. Makes sense on a remote island off the NW coast of Donegal. (Yes, I know other places have probably renamed the access point)
More people at the All Ireland Hurling final today than the World Cup final.
Over in that there London. Drinking a very decent brown ale by Five Points on cask in The Earl of Essex in Islington.
Emblematic. I think this salt grit bin is melting in the heat.
Mount Eerie at the Button Factory this evening. Very much lyric based downtempo low-fi. Absolutely not my usual thing, but it really worked.
I spent this evening in the early 1990's, and it was good. Sugar in The National Stadium

Public service announcement: Football Special is available again in your local (Irish) Lidl
Never mind your Big Brand pseudo-Irish beers. Marking today with a couple of properly independent Irish classics.
Gavin Friday in Vicar St this evening. He hit all of the right notes. Some sung, some outspoken. Geopolitics, Trans Rights are Human Rights, and pussy jokes. I always thought 'Angel' is criminally underappreciated: youtu.be/JWJvlMkXdEc
I have a few suggestions for the British Mint's new note designs..
Let's put in a half arsed bin so we can claim to improve the physical environment while ruining the visual environment. Do better @dublincity.bsky.social
