@daraobriain Static? Shocking.

@skatie420 They tried that before he died, but he was averse.

@RobLooseCannon And the Masons, though not a church, got thrown in. From conversations I've had, it seems they were singled out by the hierarchy here for particular vilification, hence the strong views still being expressed.

[Ross Hattaway @arimaitch]

@RobLooseCannon Spot on for the Masons, Rob. A society of all creeds, not a church. When I came here in 1989, anti-protestant bigotry was very strong (ours was still being called a mixed marriage), typified by the careless use of the words Prod and Protestant to mean one single group of people.

@DavidAlfrey109 @mosler302 @Theblackfemini3 @lisareality1 Sometimes I'd say that I needed this to meet my monthly quota or I'd be in trouble with my boss. However, my children tell me that you can be recorded and the dreaded AI can sample your voice to make fake calls, so I just hang up. A pity, as it could be fun at times.

@DavidAlfrey109 @mosler302 @Theblackfemini3 @lisareality1 I used to ask if the caller had enough life insurance or pension cover and if they could give me their credit card and bank details, I would do a financial assessment for them on the spot. Responses included "You are not listening to me" or "No, I am calling you".

@MumblinDeafRo For me, writing those things down is like caring for the fallow ground until it's ready again. Mostly, though, I have an atrocious memory and would never remember them ten minutes later, let alone on the return of the tide.

[Ross Hattaway @arimaitch]

@MumblinDeafRo Maybe from "I can feel it in me lively waters".

@sophiegrenham For me, and probably for a lot of non-Hibernophone English speakers, Micheal is always childishly amusing.

[Niall M Oliver @NMOliverPoetry]

Ever wonder how your fellow poets really feel when they hear you got a poem published? Meg Cox knows...

@CelizMurray @TurasPress @IrishWritersCtr @nicolafarrand @DeirdreMcguone @lcollins232 Congratulations, Chris - a fabulous book.

[Ross Hattaway @arimaitch]

@pacificraft @becimay The fullback is the publisher.

[Ross Hattaway @arimaitch]

@davidmcw Wow - a lesson in how to misuse data or else a complete display of innumeracy.

[Ross Hattaway @arimaitch]

@xeronaut1 Clearly, the last thing that publication wants is poetry that might surprise you.

[Dr Tom Clonan @TomClonan]

In aftermath of #DublinRiots, many Irish Citizens Immigrants & Asylum Seekers feel Vulnerable to Verbal & Physical Attack on basis of Ethnicity or LGBTQI Status. Trump-like rhetoric is amplifying this risk - Exploiting Fear & Exclusion after years of Austerity. We Need Solidarity

@xeronaut1 @MPenn The Bats - Compiletely Bats. Just one goodie after another.

[Ross Hattaway @arimaitch]

@xeronaut1 @AndyLaneAuthor @TheHStirling @SioGallichan May be of interest. Bored Games' semi-anthemic early 1980 track, Joe 90.
