Bright Falls – The Widows Homes
A house is not a home…
Introducing Bright Falls, the project of singer/songwriter Eddie McCormack (top) from Thurles, County Tipperary.
The video, shot in a dilapidated house by Dominic Coleman and Benjamin Walsh, complements the song’s theme of a broken relationship.
Nick says: Bright here, Bright now.

Roistering ruffian or tormented rubber-razoring fetishist?
Impossible to tell.

Oh,
German Police break into the home of Covid response critic Dr Andreas Noack, a nutritionist, during a livestream as he apparently falls foul of Germany’s new rona laws.
Not sure what he did wrong, but under a new law called Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz social networks have to take down “blatantly illegal” hate speech within 24 hours.
That’ll learn him.

A ‘Pissed-off GAA fan’ writes:
Over the past few weeks there have been some class GAA matches on. If you live outside of Ireland it means you need to access GAAGO to watch them legally. You can pay €79 for all games – hurling and football, which is fine if you’re into both sports and you have the cash.
If, on the other hand, you just wish to watch choice hurling or football matches it costs €10 a game. Last Saturday there were three hurling games back to back. That would have been a whopping €30 to see all three games – what is this, the UFC?
This weekend, Tipperary vs Galway and Clare vs Waterford will cost €14 each! A €4 increase per match for whatever reason.
Can both the GAA and GAAGO realise that not every Irish person abroad is raking it in tax-free in Dubai, particularly students or now unemployed gastronomy workers like myself.
Under normal circumstances people could probably chip in and watch the games together, but eh, maximum household rules and all that. Irish sports bars are also shut.
I get that there are no ticket sales this year, but it’s largely an amateur sport and we’re paying extortionate prices to watch the games online abroad.
My county, Tipperary, will play an historic Munster final on Sunday, but there’s no way I’m forking out more for that. I’ll do what I did for the Leinster hurling final…listen to it on the wireless. Get with the times GAAGO.
Anyone?/Fight!
Just got this letter in through the door. A referral was first sent in 2011. It was then picked up by @tusla in 2015. A retrospective investigation began in 2018 & in 2020 they have concluded their investigation. Sitting here balling my fucking eyes out. I can’t believe it pic.twitter.com/mXTTIOsCy0

This morning.
Nine years.
Meanwhile…
Mick Finnegan (37) from Crumlin, in south inner city Dublin, was 12 when he joined the voluntary paramedic organisation St John Ambulance in the 1990s. He was about 14 when he was abused by a senior figure in the ambulance service…
Finnegan grew up in Crumlin, an area he says was “destroyed with drugs” during the 1980s and 1990s. He was the eldest of four children and says his mother was delighted when he became involved with the organisation as he was steering clear of crime.
The grooming started shortly after he joined the Old Kilmainham division of St John Ambulance as a youth member or “cadet”. [More at link below]

1988.
Moore Street, Dublin 1.
Behold: the Mini Vision Urbanaut – a conceptual EV minivan from BMW designed to make the most of its interior space despite a tiny exterior footprint.
A flexible four seat arrangement behind a single slide and swivel door includes a fold away dashboard and a front windscreen that can be hinged open when the vehicle is stationary.
The wheels light up. The front seats transform into a daybed.
You’d wonder is it a car at all.
