I've taken to having a look daily at his tweets, and for the most part look at them with bemusement,  but from time to time they are downright sinister- I saw the first of those tweets earlier, but wouldn't have considered that outcome.  What a dodge.

Between hopping and trotting all day, only got to check the phone every few hours.  Some action today!!
The history books of the future be interesting in how they frame this administration.  I wonder would his intention be to burn down as many as he can once he's finally brought down himself?

I wouldn't be an avid or very knowledgeable boxing fan, but recently started following The Loneliest Sport page on Facebook, if you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth a look.  It just gives a short quote from different fighters, and I usually end up on Wikipedia afterwards reading a bit more about their lives and careers.  Some really fascinating and interesting stories and characters.

Hooking up the cowbox if I wanted to go anywhere, you'd be waved through any checkpoint.

Good game to watch, flashes of lovely football with a bit of dash and verve, and plenty of fumbles, bobbles and mistakes, which makes it look a better spectacle than a lot of the top teams, when the level of execution and risk aversion makes it almost sterile and boring by times.

So sorry to hear this, watched the Rackard final, he practically beat us on his own.  Condolences to all who knew him, especially his family and teammates.  Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
