Telling someone that a movie/series/book has a twist at the end is a spoiler, even if you don't say what the twist is

Have started listening to the 'Welcome to Jurassic Park' Theme every morning when I wake up, to start the day. Best thing I have ever done for my mental health. Can literally deal with anything after those 7.55mins. Thoroughly recommend.

The best antidote to someone having a loud conversation on speakerphone in a public place is to blast out the theme tune from Terry & June on your own phone. Works a treat.

Heather Humphries was part of Governments from 2011 to 2024 that caused the worst homelessness crisis this country has ever experienced. Her values and policies turned Irish housing into an investment asset for real estate funds. She voted year after year against eviction bans.

Absolute Nonsense -Heather Humphries Green Paper on ‘Disability Reform’ was Cowardly & Shameful attack on the Rights & Human Dignity of #Disabled Citizens - 'I was the braver person' to drop controversial paper on disability reforms, says Heather Humphreys

Fine Gael have an ad about #CatherineConnolly representing banks as a barrister. The dishonesty is jaw-dropping. It was FF & FG who CAUSED repossessions by bailing out banks in a financial crisis, then inviting in vulture funds. Lawyers dealing with the fallout are not to blame.

Fine Gael increased homelessness to 16,000, including 5,000 children, and lifted the ban on no-fault evictions. This party of “law & order” is now adopting Ivan Yates’ advice with a US-style attack ad to smear housing rights campaigner Connolly for doing her job as a barrister

Can we have a list of Justice Minister @OCallaghanJim clients from when he was a barrister? FFG have confirmed its fair game with their attacks on Catherine.

Now, it hasn't been said to me, rather I have witnessed this: someone REVERSING on a ROUNDABOUT because they had missed their exit. I fish that memory out every time I think I'm an idiot, and I immediately feel much, much better.

Came home from work, said hello to my cat in the living room. Went onto the kitchen and said hello to my cat. Took me a few seconds but then I realised I'd said hello to my cat twice. Turns out a second similar cat somehow got into my house. So yeah, now I live with two cats.
