Why are the representative organisations for GPs and vets in Ireland not objecting loudly to private equity companies snapping up their practices? At the very least these practices should be required to inform clients that they are not independent.

Is anyone Irish in the Epstein files, and if so why have we not heard?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social if you are a Crypto billionaire who funds Reform, does that make you a crypto-fascist!

If the Second Amendment in the US guaranteed the right of women to keep and bear arms, gun crime would effectively disappear.

All US voters should have to show their love for nature before the mid terms: Non-MAGA voters by hugging a tree, MAGA voters by hugging a bear cub.

Future homes of British royals should be named after older royal palaces. For example, Andrew Windsor’s next home could be called “The Royal Nonce-Hutch”

At 12, Trump probably had the adolescent boy’s dream of ending his days as emperor of a great nation in a gilded palace surrounded by naked sex slaves. Instead, The country is trashed, the palace is trashed and he has a grumpy former sex worker in place of the sex slaves he dreamed of.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social If Trump makes streamed executions a thing (like “The Apprentice”, “you’refiring-squadded,” how do the Trump family personally profit from it? Selling guns, bullets, wheelchairs?

I was thinking about the klnd, socialist, elected lady who is our Irish President and the strange God-Appointed person who is our neighbour’s monarch, and the cowboy stories of my childhood gave me inspiration for a name for his OTT air-conditioned carriage: “The Chuck Wagon”

I’m reading an older English crime novel where the writer does nothing but criticise the behaviour of the lower classes. England is often a great country, but their class system has to go, even if a few Etonians and Royals have to be decapitated. Get on with it.

Facebook is full of fake cancer “cures” at the moment. FFS, trust doctors, not this shite. I had cancer in 2013, and am here courtesy of real health professionals.

As an old fart myself, I notice that women who knit seem to lose their marbles much later than the rest of us. Has anyone formally studied this? Someone should.

Ireland hosts a Russian aluminium plant linked to their criminal war. We need to shut it down before the Ukrainians send us a few drones.

There are some Mormons near me in a breakaway group that are allowed to drink coffee: “The Church of Jesus Christ of the latte-day saints”

@mrjamesob.bsky.social you said that if Jesus was a refugee he would come to the UK in a small boat. What kind if Catholic education did you have? The guy can literally walk on water!

My great grandfather, the polar explorer, lost parts of his feet to frostbite. His fiancé dumped him when he came back. She was lack-toes intolerant.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Three, reading garbage may be equally good for your brain as reading good stuff. Using weights made of dog poo will keep you as fit as using good quality weights.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Two, punishing Welsh kids for speaking Welsh was the same as the practice in Ireland. It was more successful here.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social three points arise from the discussion of Scottish and Welsh independence and Irish unification. One, how can anyone claim that Scotland could not survive economically alone? This is the country that inspired Scrooge McDuck!

At an anti-trump protest in Dublin today the best poster read:war crimes, sex crimes, hair crimes!.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I was reminded by you of Roger Whittaker’s song: “Umami, Uumami U, oh mami U”

Future scenario. The Earth’s leaders: “We are doomed because we have destroyed our planet. Let us store all our wisdom on this device and fire it into space so alien species can learn from it.” Alien species: “AAugh. Another Earth Data Centre. Arm the photon torpedos”

Today my three year old grandson, on his balance bike, almost ran into the President of Ireland when she was jogging on the Galway seafront alone. She smiled and ran on. How strange will that sound to any American?

The iPad end of my new charger meets EU standards. The other. Plug, end is an Apple size and non-standard. What an obnoxious, mean spirited, pack of bastards in that company.

The Mayor of Limerick in Ireland has found a “clever way” to keep Aughinish alumina, an aluminium plant that is a part of Putin’s war machine, open. Let’s hope the Ukrainians don’t obliterate it first.

Do other people, when they see Clarkson’s “Top Gear”, immediately think of Toad, Ratty and Badger?

In ancient Rome, when an emperor reached his sell-by-date the Praetorian Guard, um, looked after matters. Will nobody give the Secret Service a few lessons in Roman History?

My very favourite French songwriter is Michel leGrand. Or as we Irish call him, Big Mick.

I use an old radiator fan from a John Deere to take cooking smells out of my kitchen. It’s an ex-tractor fan.

Irish racists have copied UK racists by using the national flag to intimidate minorities in their communities. Someone has begun flying the Palestinian flag in response. I’ll bet this will annoy the racists, and any remaining zionists, if there are any left who can stomach genocide.

The next killer app will be a personal Algorithm. Content I don’t want, like Magas, Tech bros and Racists, will be filtered out. Someone write one!

Viking 1: “You know Odin’s two ravens?” Viking 2: “Huginn and Muginn? Yes” Viking1: “They don’t work for him any more.” Viking2: “He made them redundant?” Viking 1: “No, he fired them for caws”

Lots of people who want to be followed back have the same AI advert. Sorry.

Palm Beach Airport is being renamed after the president. “Paedo Airport, request landing clearance”

Sleep deprivation is recognised as torture. I’m reporting both my cats to the ICC.

If kids in the US were more familiar with “The Wind in the Willows”, American people might notice the incredible similarities between the speeches of Mr. Trump and those of Mr. Toad.

The tech bros are doing for capitalism what Louis XVI did for monarchy.

Time the Irish Government dumped Microsoft. Epstein island apart, there are cheaper and better alternatives.

I suffer from insomnia. Feline insomnia. The little buggers are awake all night looking for food or to get out.

5 million plus sundry roubles. Crooked as shit.

All these damn migrants from the sub- continent coming to Ireland. Not only have they cured my cancer and another life-threatening illness, the buggers have just gone and made the Irish cricket team good enough to beat India.

You psychologists out there: Can you design a test that will identify whether police recruits or immigration officers are likely to become violent sadistic thugs?

Military thoughts from an unqualified geriatric: Crossing a border uninvited in a military uniform is a war crime. Killing even one civilian ( “collateral damage” ) is a war crime. Will nobody sink an aircraft carrier already with a drone and put an end to these useless money-eating dinosaurs?
