@64_Wine @Wine_Advocate @JancisRobinson @AnthonyRobineau @NastjaNovak Old Loire Chenin is one of wine’s forgotten treasures. I have been lucky enough to try several from great houses and stunning vintages. Nectar indeed.

@_ashawndabney Yes, me.

@_ashawndabney Me. I’ve had four jabs but not Covid and because of various other health conditions, I generally have several symptoms most days! I test regularly. Maybe I have good genes! My grandmother put her husband and nine children through the Spanish Flu and didn’t lose anyone or catch it

[Monica Murphy @murphymonicaj]

@rhipratchett I agree! I’ve often wondered!

@timmyvoe @trussliz Those figures are absolute nonsense. Have you read the Irish budget?

[Monica Murphy @murphymonicaj]

@ArthurC01688874 @SportsJOEdotie Rowing is probably the most successful sport in Ireland at international level and Paul and Fintan are incredible athletes. There is an almost total lack of coverage in all media. If a fraction of UK soccer coverage was turned over to top Irish minority sports, it would help.

@megamandrn001 @donellacandra Airbnb started out as sharing your own home. That is what I do as a host or as a guest. It works well and serves a great need. Maybe time to go back to basics.

@ronronzo Purely a logical question. No malice. Southern is the opposite of Northern which they hear so much about. Not everybody is au fait with our convoluted sensitivities and politics.

@DragonsStirling @OhLookItsMe7 @_HousingCrisis @DeptHousingIRL @Damien_English @Toibin1 @JohnnyGuirke @joeliveline @Midlands103 @WHExaminer In Ireland it’s 08. UK is probably 07. My point is that few bother with landlines any more so the old suspicion a mobile number is not reliable is absolute rubbish in 2022.

@davidmcw Crass, insensitive and downright bloody cruel. Boris is a disgrace and his henchwoman Priti Patel is a nightmare. What is happening to England to vote these people into power?

@FrankmcnallyIT @64_Wine @McFerran1 Holy Cow Gerard! Don’t be getting ideas!

@AdamJSchwarz @niamh_dr So poignant, God help them all. ♥️

@IcedGemx Clothes horse or drying rack.

@Andrew_J_Scott OMG! What sort of rubbish is that? Give me beef any day, though I very rarely eat a burger and very little red meat but when I eat it, I want real, farm produced, natural food. . Time to go back to real food and away from these chemical concoctions.

@mistereatgalway It’s €59 at Randox Dun Laoghaire. We’re loads Sunday But filled up overnight.
