Dad’s train to Westport was delayed because the one before hit a tractor. They were bussed to another train past the incident. The second train has hit a car on a level crossing. Somewhere near Ballyhaunis

There’s just no way I can be so good at answering questions on tv quiz shows and not be more successful in life. There must be some malevolent force keeping me down.

It really does come in threes eh?

The wrong 80 year old famous white people are dying.

I think about this at least a dozen times a day.

Has no one told this guy what his name sounds like?

Found out that Veruca Salt’s father in Willy Wonka was played by Roy Kinnear when he was ONLY 36!!!

Didn’t even know they were still touring!

I have added "Figuring out how to read a large comic book crossover event in the correct order" to my CV under the heading 'Project Management'

#Onthisday 1971 members of the Irish Women's Liberation Movement boarded the 8am train from #Dublin to #Belfast to buy contraceptives, legal under UK law & returned to Dublin highlighting the hypocrisy of Irish law More rte.ie/archives/201...

I don’t think non-goths should be allowed play goths on TV. I’ve had my heart broken too many times.
