@MarkOgden_ They shamed themselves and their country with their thuggish play and that unsporting display.

@MartinHolmes68 @Mytruthsbetold1 Has she been identified yet? She can be clearly seen. Absolute thug.

@sarhsheg Was brilliant to see her run through in 3rd.

[CarolineM @CarolineMurB]

@le_petit_cochon It was a great finish.

@FionaRobyn @therealmissjo Why would you ask that? Surely women regularly visit the toilet in establishments alone. Regular behaviour.

@bfenners17 @seamus_orourke You have a treat in store. I loved it.

@seamus_orourke This show is fantastic, brilliant engrossing performance when I saw it in Ratoath earlier this year.

@mike32pepper They were, unfortunately, for us Louth supporters. Pity they found their form today!

This is 79-year-old Robert Thompson from Bray. Robert is completely blind, but until recently, he has managed to live a highly independent life with the help of his brilliant guide dog, Rhona.

But right now, Wicklow County Council is failing him, and the entire visually impaired community.

For years, the audible signals at pedestrian crossings across Bray have been faulty. Recently, things have gone from bad to worse. The critical audio signals that tell Robert where the crossing pole is (the "wait" sound) and when it is actually safe to cross (the "go" sound) have stopped working entirely on busy routes near his home.

"There’s no way I would cross that road without the sound," Robert says. "It’s just too dangerous."

To make matters worse, recent changes to the local Dublin bus network (replacing the old 145 route with the E1 spine) mean his usual handy bus stops are gone. Because the council has left the nearby pedestrian signals broken, Robert can no longer cross the street safely at his local stop.

Robert is now forced to get off the bus early and walk a massive, grueling 1.5 kilometers EACH WAY along a highly dangerous, busy stretch of road just to find a single working crossing.

Robert has contacted Wicklow County Council repeatedly. They have acknowledged his complaints, but they have met him with absolute silence regarding any actual repairs.

Basic mobility and safety should be a right, not a luxury. By ignoring these broken signals for years, the council is effectively trapping vulnerable residents in their own towns and actively stripping away their independence.

Please SHARE this post! Let’s get the word out and force Wicklow County Council to do their job, fix the audio signals in Bray, and restore safety and freedom to Robert and others who rely on them!

@sophiegrenham Someone who has misunderstood the nature of your postings, I think. I enjoy your take on things and generally agree.

[CarolineM @CarolineMurB]

@TheHost_ She embarrassed herself.

[CarolineM @CarolineMurB]

@sophiegrenham I would be on a high for weeks if I were to find such a dress. Definitely buy another.

@MorbidKnowledge What an horrendous attack. Incredible that both mother and baby survived. What an inspirational woman. That sentence is a joke for such a depraved attack.

[CarolineM @CarolineMurB]

@QStatusquo @faqmact @protodanielle No. I didn't say that at all. I hope that is clear enough for you.

[CarolineM @CarolineMurB]

@faqmact @protodanielle I could explain but I really don't think your comprehensive skills are sufficiently developed in light of that comment.

[CarolineM @CarolineMurB]

@CKAYCFC @Footballtweet Also in the memories of many of us who cheered them on too. What a team, so memorable.

[CarolineM @CarolineMurB]

@denise_xbm Horrible to watch. Shameful display from Paraguay.

[CarolineM @CarolineMurB]

@foliray That referee should never be allowed charge of a match again. I've never seen anything like it. Crazy.

[CarolineM @CarolineMurB]

So true. RIP Penelope.

Margo Leadbetter was snobbish, humourless and entitled, & Penelope Keith managed to make her into one of the most adored (and oddly vulnerable) characters ever seen on a sitcom. She delivered every line as if it were a jewelled crown on a velvet cushion. An utter genius.
