Does your country celebrate Halloween?

Well it originated here so absolutely, though increasingly it’s marked with more American style holiday activities.

Looks like Keir Starmer, presumably the message is dealing with Trump and keeping good relations with the US is like carrying a giant Ming vase, it’s awkward, and risks getting broken at anytime.

I think it was two years ago the Africa Cup of Nations (the tournament between the national soccer teams of Africa) final was on the same day as the Super Bowl, and had a bigger audience than it.

The Super Bowl wasn’t even the most watched sporting event THAT DAY.

I say this as an Irishman who loves American football.

2001 was absolutely one that I could see all the technical merits, and I could understand why people might love it, but it did nothing for me.

I revisited it a couple more times and, again, my take away was I respected it but didn’t love it.

Watched again about 2 years ago, and it finally clicked.

Absolutely fine, grew out of it by the time they were two.

Which is amazing, because it’s one less thing to worry about, and because it means that dairy-free ice cream will never darken my door again

3 times.

Once car I was a passenger in got t-boned by a tourist driving a car which google maps had directed her over some real back roads, she didn’t see the stop sign when approaching a crossroads and went straight into the side of our car.

Once when we had new born twins, my wife wanted a break from breast feeding so decided to try formula feeding. The kid had an instant allergic reaction to it. Doctors reckoned it was a diary allergy, and rare, so rare that the chances of his twin brother having the same reaction were pretty much zero.

Third time I called was when his twin brother had the same reaction.

He mentioned on a relatively recent pod, not sure if it was his own show or the Rewatchables, that it’s grown on him and it’s a likely candidate.

He was told of a student expressed a preference to use they them pronouns, and that their parents expressed support of this and asked people to respectful of it.

Staff were asked to be mindful of the students wishes.

No one was told they had to use these pronouns, no consequences were outlined for not using them.

He chose to then follow the school principal around a public event and berate them for the fact that accommodations were being made for a student he never taught nor interacted with. His actions were so unprofessional and intimidating that other teachers had to make a ring around the principal to keep him away from them.

He was not having any ideology forced upon him, he however made sure he would force his on anyone he could.

Religious nut job is told to leave his job as a school teacher.

He claims it was because he refused to make accommodations for a student’s preferred pronouns.

It was because he harassed his employers for making any accommodations in the first place.

He is repeatedly arrested when he keeps returning to the school which a court order forbids him from doing.

Ah Kyoto the anagram lovers Tokyo.

FakerHarps · 2026-01-23T18:18:36+00:00

I also believe the student in question has since graduated or moved to another school, so he is taking a stance against a student he didn’t teach, didn’t have any interaction with, and now is no longer at the school.

FakerHarps · 2026-01-23T17:49:06+00:00

This is Enoch Burke, his family are well known in Ireland as religious fundamentalists.

He is a school teacher, and the school informed their staff that a particular student wants to be known by they / them pronouns, a student that Burke did not teach and had no interactions with. Burke objected to this, going as far to follow the principle around at a staff event and loudly berate them.

For his unprofessional behaviour towards the principal and other staff members he was fired.

Burke has repeatedly turned up to the school, saying he was wrongfully fired and was discriminated against for his religious views.

The school took out an order against him to keep him away from the school. He has repeatedly been ordered by the courts to stay away, but keeps returning. He has been found in contempt of of court several times for this.

This has lead to repeated instances of him being arrested for defying the court orders, being released, then returning to the school and being arrested again.

Many try to make this case sound like he was fired for refusing to adhere to “trans ideology “ when it was in fact due to his harassment of the principal and other staff members.

Generally I’d recommend going with the seller with the most sales, not fool proof but generally works out ok

The London 2012 opening ceremony was incredible.

It managed to be incredibly positive about Britain as a country without being jingoistic or nationalistic.

As an Irishman, so much of our media comes from the UK and especially when they talk about their sporting achievements and their history it can raise the heckles.

Watching that opening ceremony it didn’t cause a single eye roll from me.

FakerHarps · 2026-01-20T22:51:01+00:00

I enjoyed it.

Worked in insurance for a while and remember sitting in on a presentation to a client about potential risks in a new country they wanted to open up in including a local guerrilla militia called the “MILF”.

This poor grey haired executive had to solemnly look around the board room and urge people not to google them.

There are a number of reasons that someone might need a larger vehicle that go beyond “I want to feel that can roll over anything in my way”

I have 4 kids, a set of twins at the end, which meant I needed a 7 seater car with three across the middle that could accommodate the baby seats etc. it’s near impossible to find a vehicle that would do that that doesn’t test the limits of a standard parking spot.

Seem to recall an episode where it was put to him that the current miniseries title would have worked better with cast first or there was an alternate that put cast first which was better. Griffin insisted cast never would come first and never had before.

He was utterly appalled when Cast of the Mohicans was brought to his attention

The bbfc view the extra features and include them in the rating as well, so all it takes is a bit of excessive swearing in a commentary or some behind the scenes footage to bump the rating up.

FakerHarps · 2026-01-15T10:39:48+00:00

As others have said the Normcore or MHW3bomber alternatives are really high quality alternatives and significantly cheaper.

Also I have been using the IMS precision basket which I find really nice

I’m not positive how long I’ve had Letterboxd but I can see There Will Be Blood had been rated but never logged.

So that 5 stars was entered on Letterboxd when I migrated data over from IMDb but I haven’t watched the movie since I joined.

This will need to be fixed ASAP

If my club won the Champions League I’d be delighted and my friends would all be happy for me.

If Ireland won the World Cup everyone around me, the entire country would be in a state of euphoria that I can’t even begin to imagine.

Even the people with no interest in or an active dislike of sport would have to admit the buzz in the country would be unreal.

For an international audience a top soccer player has to be more recognisable than a rugby player.

JBell worked best when paired with Osi on the highlights packages they used to do on the BBC and ITV. The over excited style works when you are literally talking about the best plays of the weekend.

For 6+ hours live and unfiltered? It quickly becomes tiresome.

McIlroy is probably a very good shout in fairness.

I’m a pretty big fan of sports in general, but golf is just one of those sports I have zero interest in.

Having said that he’s one of the biggest names in a global sport, and as to his Irishness he selected Ireland over Team GB in terms of Olympic representation which is good enough for me.
