This weekend in Madrid is a special one for me as it's my 600th consecutive F1 race attended without missing one, a run that started in Japan in 1994. I believe I'm only the fifth person in the paddock to reach that number without a break - and I'm the only one on the list who is still adding to their streak.

Of course there are a lot of other F1 folk who have been around longer than me, and have logged higher overall totals. However, most missed races here or there, or had spells of gardening leave between teams, and so on.

In my first decade as a journalist I covered other championships, and I only did the odd GP. My overall total with a media pass is now 615 (not counting 12 I went to as a young fan). The craziest number is that including testing I've spent well over seven years of my life in the F1 paddock...

I'm quite proud of the fact that I've managed to keep going for 32 years, even through the Covid times. It's not been easy in many ways - and as a freelance I've done all the travelling at my own cost.

However, I know that I've been very lucky to be able to do a job that I could only dream about when half a century ago I was a 10-year-old fan attending my first F1 race. Hopefully I'll hit the 700 mark at some point in 2030... 😊

Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael lied to voters during the election about the number of houses they would deliver in 2024.

40,000 homes promised, only 30,330 delivered.

The truth is FF/FG’s housing plan is in tatters. We need a radical reset in housing policy.

They're absolutely f**king raging they've failed in their attempt to weaken our Dáil and our democracy.

Today, the opposition served us well.

GTA 4 is still ahead of most open world titles in terms of details, physics, and atmosphere with Liberty City, and this is a game that's nearly 17 years old.

Here are 10 hidden & small details from GTA 4 that prove it was ahead of its time. A Thread 🧵

The differences between how younger voters, the future of Ireland, voted as compared to those who are mostly retired & asset rich is INSANE.

This election once again is a story of two Irelands. The future of Ireland versus yesterday’s Ireland. Both have very different visions.

In the space of just 45 seconds, Simon Harris manages to come across as condescending, patronising, dismissive, uncaring, arrogant, insensitive, callous, and cold-hearted.

Fine Gael truly found the perfect leader to embody their values.

We are all devastated with the news of Jon Passing and our thoughts are with Margy Aaron and Leah. I was lucky to spend so many years touring with Jon and learning from him. Creating some great shows and videos. Hilarious hours in the rehersal room and playing great tunes. But sitting in the kitchen with Margy and Caroline just having the craic in Lough Gur will never be forgotten. Thanks Jon.

This is staggering.

Two weeks out from an election, having denied reality, you turn on the public, in a guaranteed soft win, for publicity that'll somehow jeopardise it. He might as well, honestly, say I hate you poor man. He's lost it. Can't handle it. Glorious. #FineGael
