Had the pleasure to work in the old tower in Dublin a few years back during a contingency. We worked an evening shift whilst the current tower got kitted out with a new worktop. If I ever decide to go back to Dublin in the future I'll have worked in all three towers. Tempting.
BREAKING NEWS: “Starmer denies knowing he was Prime Minister”
Sir Kier Starmer has revealed that no one told him until last Tuesday he won the 2024 election and had become PM.
He told Beth Rigby “I was totally kept in the dark by my officials. I’m really angry about it.”
I didn’t say the death penalty for ‘overseas and foreign’ criminals.
I quite clearly said foreign and domestic.
What is wrong with the BBC?
An urgent correction and apology please, @BBCPolitics.
@Dunibear Because they dont understand the rules of the road, they cause more traffic as a result and are committing an offence. It’s two lanes until the merge point, but a lot of drivers don’t know this and believe it’s queue jumping.
@MikeMedFly Was going to get this but held off because I regularly drive 3 hours up north and back. I prefer the look of these compared to the Tesla’s.
Irelands national news channel describes a terrorist with a knife and fake suicide vest as unarmed. But yet they regularly debate disinformation from the right, and they wonder why the average person has lost faith in legacy media.
HOLY CRAP
A customer put in an order and paid for a poster for a vigil for Charlie.
.@officedepot REFUSED to print it because they said it’s “propaganda”
WTF @officedepot?!
Interesting Garda helicopter chase at Dublin airport. The bikes were using the airport in an attempt to lose the helicopter. Great coordination by all those involved. I’ve had this happen a couple of times in the past, it doesn’t work, the helicopter just gets priority if needed.
@miami_rick When I first became a controller we rarely had 747s flying into our airport, so I spoke to my first 747 like it was my last 😂 now we get about 4 a week coming in, I love it! My favourite aircraft, you just know every pilot takes a minute to admire it as it goes past.
@IainDale Why the hell would trump tell the press first before consulting NATO and Zelenskyy. The press are not a priority at this stage. If he spoke to the press first, he’d be criticised for not consulting the other parties involved.
