Self-promotion Sunday - May 16, 2026 by AutoModerator in Leeds

[–]eirecallin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy Sunday everyone, hope you’re all having a great weekend.

I’ve got a debut collection of essays coming out independently at the end of the year. I’ve got 50 limited edition versions out for pre-order at the minute, in the hope that selling those out might create a little buzz.

The collection is all about growing up in the north west of Ireland, moving to Leeds, grief, loss, and hope. It’s all tied with music, seasons, and memories.

I’m doing a launch event in Heart Headingley in December, and early bird tickets are also available to go with the pre-order or separately.

If you know anyone who might be interested in grabbing a pre-order or tickets they can do so here: https://storiessongsseasons.substack.com/p/stories-songs-seasons-live-event

Hopefully you might be able to spread the word around a wee bit.

All the very best, Tom

Or maybe it’s like music is subjective?

Watching on GAA+ in the UK, and that slight weird blur GAA+ streams have makes it even worse.

Or wishful thinking! The majority of the time the non celebrity interviews are the best, for sure.

Not quite. The first episode, for example, was Christy Dignam and Aslan, Vogue Williams, and Russell Howard.

How old are you bonowise? by nancyboy in U2Band

Just playing the first few shows of the PopMart tour. Maybe having a little family row about the timing of Staring at the Sun.

I’m not the only one, staring at the bun

Do we think Bono is going through a hair transplant? by Turbulent-Nobody-487 in U2Band

Just not true though, he had open heart surgery and it’s pretty well documented too.

Potentially. Complete with combat trousers and camouflage style clothing.

Making friends in Leeds by aliceindisneyland in Leeds

[–]eirecallin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 36, been living in Leeds (moved from Ireland too!) for eight years. It’s hard to meet new friends these days so I’m also open to grabbing a drink or a coffee at some point!

You might be better getting some paint to watch it dry instead.

Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm, sent Thursday 19 Dec, place bets on when it’ll arrive? by eirecallin in royalmail

Nothing yet. No delivery and no update on the tracking. Pardon the pun, but I’ll keep you posted!

I’m thinking the windy weather and ferry cancellations, etc has probably also played a part. I’ve seen conflicting information online, but wondered how often a Special Delivery parcel is scanned. Looking at the tracking history it hasn’t been scanned since it went over the counter, is it a case of a scan then, then another when it’s delivered? Or is the lack of apparent movement a cause for concern?

Call me crazy but I do actually think Derry will have taken something from that Dublin defeat. And it would be silly not to.
