@nicksortor You cannot possibly be this fucking dense, can you?

@nicksortor @SecMullinDHS A cockroach is still a cockroach, even if you decide to call it a Palmetto Bug.

@francisxyzk Ah, good news! I was afraid some sunt might have changed it! 😁

@LouiseW_psych @francisxyzk I still have my copy of Soundings, swirly green cover, from Leaving Cert 1982. I loved poetry - and indeed English as a subject in general - but the true serendipity of my Leaving Cert English course was that I ended up with a wonderful teacher. It makes all the difference.

@francisxyzk Very enjoyable read, Gerard. I've been on both sides of the director's desk myself, and identify strongly with your sentiments here.

@francisxyzk @mazmcm I lived in there for four years in the late 70s and early 80s. The corridors and stairways were spooky as fuck at night.

@elonmusk ...perspicacity can visualise a future that recognises and benefits us all.

[Mike Synnott @MichaelSynnott]

@elonmusk ... already proven you think big and make shit happen. I'd love for you to apply that same sense of innovation to our evolving society, and be a thought leader on empathy and diversity. You've come in for a lot of stick of late, but I absolutely believe someone of your...

Honestly - a few of the replies to this little tribute to engineering excellence exhibit a level of stupidity that suggests to me that it won’t be long before our spacecraft are the only thing that remains of our increasingly dim-witted civilisation. Until recently my guess has been that the answer to the Fermi Paradox might be found in biology - complex biological systems are rare. I’m increasingly of the view that the reason for The Great Silence is that civilisations are inevitably crushed by the weight of nobheads shortly after inventing the internet.

@GladonK @PrimitiveKnot 2/2 It was so mental that a stage diver died that night. Chap called Lee O'Connor. Remember that? Anyway, if you're interested in hearing what the whole experience was like from the support band's perspective and how supportive of us Motorhead themselves were, give me a shout.

[Mike Synnott @MichaelSynnott]

@GladonK @PrimitiveKnot We actually played a full set. Yes, many of the Motorhead fans wanted nothing to do with us, but there were plenty of appreciative faces at the barrier. We got bottled. Motorhead got bottled. Lemmy stopped the show - remember that? 1/2
