    I know I’m repeating myself and people are probably going to post to give it a rest but the “Irish” Daily Mail and the “Irish” Mail on Sunday are gone beyond a joke as regards calling themselves an Irish paper. Tomorrow’s Mail leading with photo of Boris and wife, Mail on Sunday same earlier today. As I said before, they are more like a paper you would find in middle England.

      But you can buy your way out of a criminal conviction.

      40 years old and peeing in the street outside where someone has to live?

      AND the victim only gets 500 out of the 1000 he brought to court, one of Ireland innumerable charidees got the other 500, because…….?

      However, there is far too much of an imbalance in the reporting of all these scenes of crowds and littering. Sure the people doing are it at fault for not throwing their litter everywhere but where are the Gardai? What about pubs selling take away pints? What about having more litter bins?

      But as usual the media stoke up righteous indignation against only one factor in this. Where are the public toilets? Where are the glass recycling banks?

      I’ve quietly obeyed all restrictions in this longest of lockdowns but people are not machines and need to socialise. Plenty of ”aren’t they great” headlines in Irish media about Michael, Leo and Stephen planning for an outdoor summer but as per usual they are great with the soundbite, not so great with solid action on their wittering’s.

    I don’t know about you but I thoroughly enjoyed the Uncle Mattie / Mattie Ban / #MattLeBlanc memes a over Twitter this weekend!

    I got plenty laughs out of them…

    Broadsheet should do a top 10 today :)

          Saw a few great ones alright.

          One of my favourites, by a random account so not sure if I could find it was one of Matt in the sitting pose saying:

          ”Ye bought a house?! In Dublin? Are ye big into that auld cryptocoins or did ye rob a bank?”

          Funny and relevant.

            I like the one where his arms are folded and he’s handing a sneaky tenner to his nephew or niece… :)

            @Fergalito:

            Should have the caption:

            ”There ye go, just another 4999 of them and you will nearly have enough money for a deposit for a 3 bedroom semi in Dublin.”

    So Tony Holohan is absolutely shocked?

    Not as absolutely shocked as I was when I read the full account of his attempted cover up of the cervical screening disgrace.

    The man is unfit for public office

    Alright folks, it’s going to be an outdoor summer

    Sinead O’Connor wanted a weekly column at The Irish Times – she did a two-week work experience stint there as a teen – but they didn’t take her up on it. Pity. I suspect there might have been good synergy between the two.

    The Sindo has nabbed her instead. Sadly, I can’t see it bringing out the best in her, work wise.

    Sinead O’Connor is a very wealthy woman- she has never shopped in Lidl because of the bi weekly specials- she has no idea what budget means.

      1. SOQ

        She is and always has been an Avoca Cafe radical- especially Newlands cross- same people involved in the housing of Muslim homophobes I believe.

        I think it was a terrible attempt at a joke about bipolar disorder and speculating about Sinead’s mental health. Terrible in taste and how it was put together.
