Next Sunday the All-Ireland hurling final will be on the BBC for the first time. It’s Cork vs Clare, a cracker of match in front of 82,400 screaming fans at Croke Park, for the highlight of the Irish sporting year. If you’ve never seen Hurling, here is a quick explainer…

I loved this article!
"I’ve been shot, stabbed, run over, airlifted from a burning ship, and rescued from more than a thousand mangled vehicles by firefighters using cutting equipment. It’s incredibly rewarding work."

"Two thirds of the people on two child benefit cap are in work.. That means people are not being paid the full rate for the work they're doing.. What we're doing is subsidising employers who are pushing forward low pay"

@oldmudgie In my experience, the delay is not normally caused by the train company but by the passenger kicking off when asked to stop by other passengers, causing ppl to feel unsafe+resulting in police being called.

I took a selfie with a frog. Maybe you need to see something kinda silly & not-heavy tonight. 🖤

@DERRYMICK I love this! What an amazing find

@Liz_ORiordan Obviously that might not work for you, but if you feel up to it, it could be worth explaining that you really wanted to see him, and see if they have any suggestions?

[Sir_Doris @Sir_Doris]

@Liz_ORiordan There may be other options if you need them. Eg.A friend's son was found after being missing for a long time, so he was advised to have a closed coffin but the undertaker put a ribbon in his hand which came out of the side, so people could sit with him and feel connected.

@notnaughtknot to a baby that adults are understanding them (or at least the gist of what they're saying) most of the time, even when they're not in reality forming genuine words yet.

[Sir_Doris @Sir_Doris]

@notnaughtknot Maybe it's like when people have a stroke and they're speaking and are convinced about what they're saying, but others don't hear what they think they've said. The thing with babies is that we do often imagine what they want and answer their babbles, perhaps it does seem...

Any questions, feel free to ask+I'll do my best to answer! But in general I've had almost all my loans returned to me, though I generally lend it out again. You can read about each person+their plans and decide who you want to support.

[Sir_Doris @Sir_Doris]

Lendwithcare's a fantastic microfinance org that I've used for many years to lend money directly to people in low income countries, £15 at a time. At the moment people who get referred by existing lenders can join and get a free £15 credit to lend out.

A subtle England penalty shootout innovation (since 2021) is their deliberate, structured & functional use of social psychology.

Here, Saka is picked up by John Stones after his penalty, to swiftly welcome him back in the team.

What did England do and why did they do it?
