I’m scared to post this because it’s almost TOO Irish: filming yesterday at Newgrange, Co Meath, at Europe’s oldest building, when a rainbow appeared above the passage tomb.

But WHY did Trump take boxes and boxes of documents? It’s not like he was going to read them, was it? Genuine question, by the way.

Watched this crazy sports movie last night, where a schoolgirl from Bromley entered the US Open and then, listen to this for terrible screenwriting, just won every single set straight through including the final. Oh come on! Good cameo from Larry David though.

People are leaping up and down at Joe Lycette because he once gigged in Qatar. So what? Working IN a country isn’t the same as being paid to promote it. See if that logic works for working in say… the UK. Jesus, people are just so eager to shout ‘A-ha!”.

Right, you crazy Mountain of Space. I am finally going to ride you, 43 years after my father told me I wasn’t allowed because you were too scary. And the four other times I couldn’t ride you because of various reasons. And now you’re called Hyperspace Mountain. No matter. #disney

Yes, because the financial equivalent to those 4 television channels and two radio stations all broadcasting 24/7 would be buying a newspaper once every 6 days.

Exciting to see the Daily Mail today misquoting a comedy routine of mine, as a news story. I’m sure it will get lost amidst proper celebrity gossip but let me just clarify I said nothing they quoted, I said slightly different things with an almost completely different meaning.

I’ve been staring at this for a day now. Is it real? Is this genuinely something our possible next Prime minister said? Are “numbers” not proper maths any more? Are “shapes”… woke?

In the list of 2020 complaints though, these are a long way behind “Being told by the government that you failed an exam, which you never even sat”, which is still wrecking my head. Poor feckers.

Somewhere in Dublin, there’s a lad watching the Toy show, who 24 hours ago, was setting fire to a bus. And he still has City-Liverpool to look forward to tomorrow.

Currently veering between being deeply worried about this surge in cases; and also hoping that the seriousness of it might restart that sense of unity and common purpose we had back in March. At the very least, time to restart giving support to anyone on the frontline.

I don't understand the British media. I really, really don't. Basic things: Ireland and the UK started this pandemic with roughly the same number of ICU beds (6.5 per 100,000 for Ireland, 6.6 per 100,000 in the UK). If anything, the UK was slightly better off.

I think they’ll have to move the Hurling final back to September. Having it, then two nights of the Rose of Tralee, feels like an overdose of Irishness. And then the Pope arrives. Why don’t they show the Toy Show as well this week and kill everyone off?

Many will have seen this today, but, one of the greatest, and most shocking front pages I’ve ever seen. All the children who died in Bessborough Mother and Baby Home; from the foundation of the State in 1922, all the way to, unbelievably, 1994. A desparate stain on our history.
