Another death. Can we please stop ranting about the dangers of bikes and e-scooters and look at what's actually killing people? @IrishTimes @independent_ie @irishexaminer

@culturaltutor Traditional uneven cobbles look nice and they are ok to walk or drive on. However, they are a terrible surface if you are using anything with wheels that doesn't have a car's suspension. Bikes, wheelchairs, prams, etc. rattle uncomfortably. Flat, even sets work for everyone.

@Mark_J_Henry @OECD @VisualCap And yet they are living with their parents because they can't afford rent.

@historyinmemes Alcohol.

@josefoshea Don't worry, the guards will search a bunch of random lads, arrest those that have weed on them and everyone will applaud and pretend that helps.

It's 27C in Rotterdam and some genius has the heat laps on.

[Séan Billings @IrishCraftBeer]

@thebeernut I wouldn't have thought there would be a lot of call for flat beer in the Netherlands.

[Séan Billings @IrishCraftBeer]

I'm in Den Haag. I was not expecting pints of cask beer.

Andy Heasman and Ross Lahive don't know what cunnilingus or vulvas are. These men are a walking advertisement for sex education! #handsoffourlibraries

[Séan Billings @IrishCraftBeer]

@JamesRedNetwork Yep. And how does searching people help? Drug prohibition enforcement is not the same as protecting people from violent thugs.

It's all crime though, so it looks really good in the stats, even if it doesn't make my neighbourhood safer.

[Séan Billings @IrishCraftBeer]

@docum3nt It is, and that bit still works.

How long is a microwave supposed to last? This one gave up the ghost after less than 35 years of frequent use. Shoddy.

[Séan Billings @IrishCraftBeer]

@DUPleader It's a cynical ploy to corrupt the youth of Northern Ireland by exposing them to people from different cultures with different world views. This could lead to a disruptive broadening of the mind and catastrophic loss of support for sectarianism.

@Seanaldinho They might not listen to the radio. I don't.

I have heard of Taylor Swift but couldn't name one of her songs.

She's not even on Bandcamp, so how am I supposed to be familiar with her music?

[Séan Billings @IrishCraftBeer]

@DubLoony @soundmigration That's made my my day.

[Séan Billings @IrishCraftBeer]

@AdamBronkhorst It's against the law in Ireland. Same with bikes/e-scooters on the pavement. However, our police view it as beneath their dignity to enforce these laws. Gardaí like to park on the footpath while they're getting coffe/lunch themselves, so no bother. Would your police be different?

[Séan Billings @IrishCraftBeer]

@yascaoimhin To be fair, they heavily advertised diet coke to women when it was launched. I remember the "Diet Coke break!" adverts which had a set format involving a group of women drinking diet coke while leering at a shirtless, oiled up male model.

The results are hardly surprising.

@2Otoole4School @Independent_ie You must have a terrible family.

When I'm at the end of the road, if I've got nothing but more pain to look forward to, I'll end it myself, if I can. If I'm too ill to manage it myself and need help, it'll be my family who will help me. I don't want them to be punished for that.

@RaghallaighJ If he was het and looking at a fit young woman footballers arse would it be bigotry?

He got caught checking out a nice bum. It's funny.

[Séan Billings @IrishCraftBeer]

@DubLoony @soundmigration They fleece the ignorant and tap foreign hate groups for donations.

Once they have the money, they can keep it in the bank invest in gold or keep cash under the bed (like Berty did), if they prefer.

They have just run across the big reason people mostly use banks.
