When you watch things like this you realise how doomed we are as a species
Janet, I ate my Avatar
doomed if you eat that muck anyway
mildred st. meadowlark
Agreed.
I’m not a huge fan of white bread but I’m unfortunate to live in a house with a bunch of white-bread lovers.

Basically sugar and cardboard, nutritionally speaking.

For Janet and Midlred (this just came across my twitter feed)
Snow
By Louis MacNeice
The room was suddenly rich and the great bay-window was
Spawning snow and pink roses against it
Soundlessly collateral and incompatible:
World is suddener than we fancy it.
World is crazier and more of it than we think,
Incorrigibly plural. I peel and portion
A tangerine and spit the pips and feel
The drunkenness of things being various.
And the fire flames with a bubbling sound for world
Is more spiteful and gay than one supposes—
On the tongue on the eyes on the ears in the palms of one’s hands—
There is more than glass between the snow and the huge roses.

best yet
thanks Nigel
incredibly sensual and fresh
mildred st. meadowlark
Your twitter feed must be something to behold.
Cheers for the poem Nigel. Really beautiful. I’ve never read that one before.
Janet, I ate my Avatar
almost make you want to tweet:)
mildred st. meadowlark
Almost. But not quite.
Twitter scares me.
Janet, I ate my Avatar
me too
it’s like a rabbit hole of madness
let’s stay here and have tea
mildred st. meadowlark
Done! I’ll bring the chocolate hobnobs.
Bertie Blenkinsop
Twitter is grand, it’s great for breaking news and, unlike here, if someone is gacking on you can just block them.
Janet, I ate my Avatar
I checked out broadsheets Instagram there
2014
obviously thought it was a bad idea
anyone
I’m following Leo on Twitter, just for the laughs
be the fuppin jaysus whoever is running his account does be tweeting some plethora of poo , gonna block or unfollow the fupper soon I think
Lush
I love that poem, thanks Nigel.
Nigel
I mean, there’s all sorts of crazystupid on twitter, but you can control whatever comes across your feed absolutely. You can worry about the echo-chamber effect if you like, but so long as you avoid the toxic and the aggressive you can have all sorts of points of view, or you can just have poetry and art all day, or stuff about science. One trick is to try to read the articles or stories that get linked (that interest you) rather than skim headlines or tag-lines as if they’re tweets themselves.

Wait, are people actually buying loads of bread because they think it’s hilarious?!
Also, would it not kill people to eat a bit of wholegrain?
Peter Dempsey
Wholegrain is popular in poorer areas.
Lilly
Is that a joke? Do they eat toast all day? What’s the fixation with bread all of a sudden.
Papi
This. Why is there not a rush on soup, and stew and other nice warming foods? Bread? Doomsday Preppers don’t be hoarding bread!
Kdoc1
It’s a tea and toast diet followed by a John Player Blue.
some old queen
Clipper detox, rye bread then a very satisfying organic rollup myself.
mildred st. meadowlark
That’s how it’s done.

I’m sure that the Data Commissioner would have an issue with a store releasing footage like this.
mildred st. meadowlark
I’m sure he/she has bigger things to worry about than that.
She said, with absolutely no idea who the Data Commissioner is or what in fact they actually do.
Cian
They commission data. I think.
mildred st. meadowlark
Well colour me astonished.
Not On Your Nelly
Facebook is awash with very poor bread patter.
It makes me sleepy with sadness.
Snippity
Have yez never heard of transubstantiation? This is miracle loaf!

wild talk

White bread is essential for toast.
Brown bread doesn’t toast well.
Ami B and BS
All hear Mondeo Man
mildred st. meadowlark
You take that back
scottser
White bread is essential for an egg and sausage sanger which I will have for breakfast as I’m off till Monday. I type this after me and herself scoffed 3 bottles of Syrah tonight. Expect grumpiness tomorrow :-)
Ami B and BS
Well it’s probably better than having to ride each other
Bertie Blenkinsop
Scottser is a drummer iirc.
He’s used to his hands and feet doing several things at once rhythmically.
I’d say drummers are second only to plate spinners in bed.
No, I’m not a plate spinner sadly, my plates are more like a Greek wedding.
Cian
I’m probably going to regret asking, but.
Who use their feet in bed? Unless you are pleasuring, like, six women at a time?
Janet, I ate my Avatar
Just to tap out the percussion beat like
to compliment the bongo bum base line
feel free to jump in here Scottser and give us a demo
anyone
I thought he plays mandolin or banjo?
Ger Mc
any chance one of those centra lads can drop me over a loaf. #jobstown and proud
Owen
1 day, maybe 2, of shops closed and people panic buy bread. Bread? Of all things. Surely, give then days ahead, wine/beer/spirits and material for a good fry-up are more of a focal point.
RuilleBuille
Naan like the Broadsheet crowd to scone at Jobstown for loafing around.
Janet, I ate my Avatar
Bread or no bread, no toast here

Where’s that?
You can be vague I’m not a stalker

Bertie Blenkinsop
Just saw on the news about Portmarnock and Malahide.
Unlucky.
Hopefully it’s only temporary :)
Janet, I ate my Avatar
I can only be vague
I haven’t had coffee
I repeat no coffee
About to blacken the arse of a lot for water
Bertie Blenkinsop
Never mind all that, what % is your phone?
Janet, I ate my Avatar
25 % but iys stuck into me computer batteries and rising
Janet, I ate my Avatar
arse of a pot
Bertie Blenkinsop
But face of an angel :)
Papi
Now, this is poetry. Read in William Shatner stylee.
Janet, I ate my Avatar
Treat her like a lady, and she’ll always bring you home
Beem me bleeding up Papi
This Portmarnock cannot support human life forms
Lilly
Oh no! That’s terrible Janet. I saw something on Twitter ‘in case of power outage: candles, battery for your torch etc’ and thought, what candles, what torch… All’s well for now, tucked up in bed with a cup of tea and a good book. Bliss.
Janet, I ate my Avatar
hey ! Saved !
went for a run figured might as well be hung for sheep as a lamb
should see the waves down the coast, gorgeous
And it’s back on, yippy
just in time for eggs, hot shower and back to bed for the day with Netflix
bring it on Emma
anyone
Do you live a life of idle leisure janet?
Janet, I ate my Avatar
Yes yes I do anyone, it’s fabulous
And I worked hard for years non stop to deserve it

Looks set up, by all the glances to camera.
