@jtrebach I was in hospital for a few months as a 6 year old (long story, burns). I clearly remember feeling that the medical staff weren't right in the head -why did they keep wanting to talk about my poo? It was very baffling 😀

Images circulating of Defence Forces vehicles in Dublin City Centre are not from this evening, but from a separate routine operation and have no connection to this evening's events.

We ask everyone to be sensitive to the spreading disinformation, and to take care.

@BBCSpringwatch is it a known fact that sparrows predate cuckoo spit? Just saw a bunch descend and feast on it on a rosemary bush. They even had "beer moustaches" to prove what they were eating. I wasn't able to photograph it

@Seeder_Wood How much were they?

@EM_RESUS I suffered from recurring nosebleeds as a child/adolescent. People were always interfering and telling me to put my head back and wouldn't accept my word. Oh, the nauseous feeling of blood in your stomach!

@Graham__Coull Homemade yes, I haven't tasted a shop bought sauce or jelly that wasn't vile

@WistfulCass Mine got eaten to the ground repeatedly by slugs and I'd bought it due to recommendation as slug-proof!

@seventiesuk Loath it but then I hate ketchup and that's all I can taste in it

[Tessa Finn 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤦 @TessaFinn71]

@Graham__Coull Yes, oh yes

@seventiesuk I rested my leg on the metal top while adjusting a window box. It disintegrated, my leg fell through, getting sliced by the rusty metal, leaving me hanging out of it. Traumatic to look at it 😬

@LindaWoodings @RichardAyoade I imagine it's the writers, the Welsh version rather bends over backwards to avoid sexism or used to.

@TheRegencyCook I like it, the good kind like Longley farm. Not with fruit or chives. With crackers or toast. It doesn't compete with good cheese, it's a different thing. And no, never sliced plastic cheese or other abominations

@JamesAHogg2 He did misquote "a star to every wandering bark" not a guide!

@dublin_damo I think it's a deep shyness, or at least that's part of it. Speaking as someone who moved back after a long absence
