I would say this is probably the greatest joke ever written for the sheer fact of how many times your Dad or Granddad has said this line when an ambulance or Police car goes by with its sirens on

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in the ordinary. Pets. Plants. A quiet morning coffee. Blue sky. Cotton clouds. Birds singing. The gentle breeze through the trees. A clean, cosy house. Good food. Good hearted simple poeple. So much of life’s beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here. And somehow, one of the sweetest feelings is knowing I get to wake up and meet it all again tomorrow.

@HowToCompanyXYZ @8RadioIreland @RobertsRadioIE Excellent! The @8RadioIreland nerds and the good people at Airable have done their thing :)

[THE WALLS @thewallsband]

Thank you @8RadioIreland for playing 'Passing Through' - one of our favourites. With that recording we really managed to capture the energy of the band live. It still sounds so fresh! Respect 🙏

Emotional scenes at 2026 World Snooker Championship as players, pundits, & Crucible crowd paid a heartfelt tribute to the late great John Virgo with a minute’s applause. ❤️

Six-time world champion Steve Davis was visibly overcome with emotion as he stood in the arena, clearly moved by the moment. 😢

As Hazel Irvine beautifully put it: “John was universally loved by everyone in this sport and well beyond it too. John really was the voice of snooker.”

A true legend gone, but never forgotten. RIP JV.

Loving the tunes on @8RadioIreland these days. Eventually got a car that has the old dab radio. It’s never off now. Great radio

[Simon Maher @Simon8Radio]

@SeanMarum I was actually enjoying the game, despite my resting cranky face :)

[Jim Corbridge @MrBonMot]

I wonder if the person who coined the phrase ‘jumping on the bandwagon’ got really annoyed when everyone else started using it.

Steven Spielberg was just 24 when he directed the pilot of COLUMBO, but he was already showing serious visual storytelling chops: the opening shot glides in from the murderer approaching to the victim in one move.
