Pics from the art gallery
Guess who this guy is in the 4th picture?
The 3rd picture, this painting fascinated me because there was so much attention to detail, it felt real. It was magnificent.

The musician in the picture sang a song Grace i think. It was about the GPO. It was so apt as the day before, we were at the GPO museum. Then, the only way I remembered this name of this song was through Rod Stewart, when he sang it a few days ago.

I’m currently on the ferry from Cairnryan to Larne.
Who’da thought that Prosecco with Tayto crisps are a thing.

I can see it, the fruitiness of the prosecco complimenting the tanginess of the cheese and onion flavouring 
(More of a king man myself

Loving our week in Ireland so far. Belfast was brilliant. We went to the Ulster Museum and I went up the Giants Ring (edit: stop bloody sniggering) Really lovely, friendly people.
We called in here on the way to Derry. I think there were fewer tourists when Led Zeppelin used it on an album cover:

We are back home after our trip to Ireland. I managed to tick off the last of my visiting old rocks visits:
I really loved the whole trip. I could probably have a whole other holiday just to take in the West and South of the country. I think the real highlight for me was Ulster. I hadn’t been there for 30 years and it has changed so much for the better in that time. I finally had a proper chance to see Belfast and was very taken with Derry which I had never seen before.
Aside from the Giant’s Causeway and Newgrange, we largely kept off the major tourist areas and I think that helped with our enjoyment. The only thing I thought was a world of stress was the ferry terminal in Holyhead on the way back, which was an absolute shambles. But overall, I loved the place, loved the people, and would love to come back.

Withdrawing from the race😂. He’s not even been in the running as he didn’t get the required support to enter the race.

…and to think that someone sat down to write this :0)
The Far Right are beginning to weaponise in Ireland, or at least they are being exposed and investigated for potential violence.
The online “patriots” response is comical. The guy in the photo is an undercover policeman, planted to make it look real. Conspiracy theory gone wild.
Meanwhile…
The narrative was that this was an “inside” job, committed by a black man. That theory hasn’t desisted despite evidence to suggest otherwise.
Our country is challenging these scumbags. Rightly so.

Not specific to Eire but relevant in that, as a broader trend, it’s likely adding fuel to RW conspiracy BS:

I thought they had video footage of the 2 who did this.
They have. But the Far Right Cunts still question the process

I remember the confusion/debate on how to pronounce Caoimhin Kelleher when he made debut.

I can remember someone putting a phonetic pronunciation on the match thread. I can usually get an approximation by knowing how Scottish Gaelic is pronounced.
My niece and nephew have Irish names and end up having Anglicised equivalents. My niece is now retaliating by signing herself off as Spideog which is a literal Irish translation of the Anglicisation.
