Welcome home the hero

@justdavenow89 No. Now some other form of breakfast potatoes might, but the hash brown is an American import that should be kept well away from the full British or Irish breakfast

[Mark Wynne @WynneMark]

@McFaul The issue is what to do about Norway. Dublin - my city of birth - was established by the Vikings in 988, so surely that counts for something….

[Mark Wynne @WynneMark]

@McFaul I’m still on the fence. As a born Irishman my default team is normally “Anyone but England” if Ireland is not in the tournament. But after learning that Harry Kane has four Irish grandparents I’ve softened my tune. Plus I’m a bit older.

@bo66ie29 Cost. Comfort. Climate. Convention. Character. Commuting in cars. Cattle class air travel. And dry cleaning bills.

[Mark Wynne @WynneMark]

@BoyleCatriona Surely Norway would be acceptable too?…:-)

[Mark Wynne @WynneMark]

@AlexBaks82 Dublin after all is a Viking city.

[Mark Wynne @WynneMark]

@AlexBaks82 This game was tough for me. As an Irishman my default team in international soccer is “Anyone but England”. But I was rooting for England last night, rationalizing it with the fact that Harry Kane has four Irish grandparents. Not sure what I’ll do for Norway-England.

@philipnolan1 Great pub. The only problem is that the food is always scalding hot and will burn the mouth off you if you’re not careful.

[Mark Wynne @WynneMark]

@econcaroline Pretty darn exciting game. Well earned victory.

[Mark Wynne @WynneMark]

@real_dublindamo Neary's?

[Mark Wynne @WynneMark]

@ShticksAndStews @dublinbypub @PintsBeauty Strongly recommend it. Great little place. There more we share these gems, though, the more they will be overrun with tourists. Just look at what has happened to O'Neills and Kehoe's (the latter long my favorite pub in Dublin, but I daren't go near now when the weather is good.)

@MissEllieN I am almost 100 percent sure I saw you at a gas station (Applegreen Baldrumman) off the M1 headed north on June 11. I thought about introducing myself, but thought that might come across a bit stalker like! I love your posts that capture simple slices of modern Irish life.

@NIAMHBL Happy birthday!

Yet another study shows a 24% reduced risk of dementia after the Shingles vaccine. This one in over 500,000 participants with a recent skilled nursing facility stay, adding to 4 huge natural experiments in 4 countries (US, Canada, Wales, and Australia)

@econcaroline Is their year? Simon Kuper had a good piece in the FT today arguing that maybe, just maybe, it is. Much as I dislike acknowledging the possibility as an Irishman…:-)

@AmericanAir My daughter volunteered to change her flight this week. I know that specific seat reservations do not transfer, but will she at least get the same type of seat as she had on her original reservation? If not, how do I go about requesting a refund? Thanks.

The genius of Father Ted wasn’t that it told people what to think.

It simply exposed the ridiculousness of human nature and let the audience work it out for themselves. 😂🤣🤭

[Mark Wynne @WynneMark]

@NowtofTown My favorite pub in London. I hope it never changes!

@GabeEcon Toss up between this and Hayek’s 1945 article (and of course Arrow)
