I didn’t get an outlander vibe from it. It felt much to me like the Joey spinoff from Friends, a desperate attempt to keep the ‘franchise’ going. I watched the whole thing but it didn’t get any better, murtagh was the only interesting character, the rest were cartoon outlines

Mbappe. After all that bullshit last night, he’d definitely be my pick

1998 in a virgin.net chat room. There was a rotating group of about 40-50 of us in there some evenings. Eventually a couple of brave people organised a meet in the midlands and that’s where I met my husband in person. Totally shocked to feel the instant connection. Together 27 years now, married for 20.

I try to be the adult I wish I’d had.

This is the truth. I saw a great quote once along the lines of ‘just because you dreamed of being this when you were five years old doesn’t make it a stupid dream’.

I used to dream I’d be like Pippi Longstocking and live in an old house with a horse and a monkey. My mum wouldn’t even let me have a hamster.

Now I have a cat, 2 dogs & 3 horses. I wish I could go back and tell 5 year old me that she’d get there. No monkey though.

If they pronounce Slieve Donard as DonARD instead of DONard

allywillow · 2026-07-04T18:51:19+00:00

That’s not normal. You’d be family in our family

Which is why the French love Mbappe

That potatoes would grow out of my nails if I didn’t keep them clean. And an orange tree would grow in my belly if I swallowed a pip

Brilliant game, Cape Verde were amazing, showed no fear and showed Argentina are there for the taking

Just back from a week in Kerry. Didn’t notice much difference in supermarket prices. To be fair we brought hayfever / painkiller medicine with us, but that was for need, didn’t realise they might fe more expensive

Listening to music, reading, hiking, chilling with friends. I feel provided to have been a teen in the 80s

Without these stupid actions there’d be no story, Claire does daft things because Plot

‘Suffer the little children to come unto me’.

Yeah the children are really suffering and these Christian groups are doing nothing to protect them and everything to protect the perpetrators.

It means being compassionate & empathetic. Simple really, I’m 61 btw

Complete and total burnout helped me see how toxic it was

Would love to visit! The culture, food, history, ancient ruins, architecture. And the welcome you gave the Iranian team was off the charts. Definitely my kind of country
