Please raise your hand if there is a doctor on this aeroplane. No. Not that kind of doctor.

So many ads on RTE’s Olympic coverage. Is this a World Record?

@sophiegrenham @philipnolan1 @tomdoorley Children are a huge undertaking. No return policy: incredibly expensive: no guarantee they won’t be A-holes: sulk: spend lives on phone: can’t drive themselves to school: take up space: can be fat, lazy, stupid, or all at same time: boring and attention-seeking so why bother.

@sophiegrenham @philipnolan1 @tomdoorley I imagine it is because the Japanese are a very sophisticated people and children are gauche accessories.

[David Slattery @ByDavidSlattery]

@sophiegrenham @philipnolan1 @tomdoorley I see in Japan the birth-rate is falling! Why am I singing I think I’m turning Japanese I think I’m ….

[David Slattery @ByDavidSlattery]

@sophiegrenham @philipnolan1 @tomdoorley We don’t have children and have never been interrogated about it, which I have sometimes found odd because people are so nosy. Indeed, boring advertising ones life choices.

@drsjcostello Only this week I was wondering if people talk more than they used to. Everyone seems to have an opinion they must share.

[David Slattery @ByDavidSlattery]

@drsjcostello Excellent. This reminds me of reading somewhere ages ago about how St Augustine had to teach all the pagans what a sin was.

[David Slattery @ByDavidSlattery]

@sophiegrenham Definitely

@joancooke5 I have never met an angry happy person. While not all unhappy people are angry, social media have provided convenient platforms for the free expression of misery manifesting itself usually as bigotry. It is a pity this has happened but seems somehow inevitable.

So, the noun is X but the verb remains to tweet.

@dineen20dineen Where have you been living? I get a scam call from Amazon at least once a day. You are supposed to hand over your bank details so that they can extract all your money from your account.

Though Simon Harris is our youngest Taoiseach ever his inaugural speech could have been delivered by an auld lad. 30 something going on 80.

[David Slattery @ByDavidSlattery]

@dineen20dineen I met Nicholas Parsons. A very sound man.

[David Slattery @ByDavidSlattery]

@sophiegrenham I always say “supper” but am regularly told it is “dinner” in Ireland but everyone says “the last supper” by Leonardo and never the “the last dinner.” Mystifying.

[David Slattery @ByDavidSlattery]

@dineen20dineen Good evening, Sean

I wish my socks coming out of the machine were in enduring relationships with each other but no, somehow they all remain committed singles.

Just lifted my Ad Blocker on YouTube to see what's up. AI is pitching tampons and cars that open underwater at me. I think I will apply for a job as an ad bot. Seems like there are no entry requirements.

[David Slattery @ByDavidSlattery]

@dineen20dineen Nope.

[David Slattery @ByDavidSlattery]

@dineen20dineen I was extraordinary on the part of the State to induce in teenage me a raging hatred for Peig. I literally danced on her grave when I finally got down to Kerry.

[David Slattery @ByDavidSlattery]

@MargaretOGorm12 Well, I feel they need someone to talk to. I am like a Samaratins for scammers.
