@CaolanReports @Dubliner112 Well done Caolan. Thank you for your work

@markhumphrys @RachelMoiselle @VerminusM @strxwmxn It depends on when you determine the existence of the state of Ireland. 1916? 1919? 1948? Later or earlier? I take your point but maybe only some of us appreciate the nuances.

Watching ‘Peelers’. I think it’s interesting and gritty. Quite addictive. Thoughts?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace

Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0, and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed: Desperate

Dear Desperate,
First, keep in mind, that Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.
Please enter the command: I thought you loved me.html and try to download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, remember, overuse of the Tears application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta version.
Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0 as it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.
In addition, please do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0.
Good Luck
Tech Support

The Badge of Merit of the Irish Constabulary.
Three rare examples of this award shown together for the first time

That looks interesting. I’ve delved into that era off-and-on a number of times; some of the outputs from the police response were of course the establishment of the Special Branch in the U.K. and G Division in Dublin. Lesser known perhaps was the ‘special’ men stationed in British Ports and Cities, who played a key role during the Dynamite Campaign.

A very happy and peaceful Christmas to all followers and guests.....may the next year prove to be healthy and peaceful for us all

[Royal Irish Constabulary 🇺🇦 @TheOldRIC]

@DominicFarrell So it boils down to: “Because we're here, lad. Nobody else. Just us.”
I’ll take that.

@Pat1975Watty @ItisDiane The same pattern belt was worn by certain army regiments most notably the Rifles (on which the Irish Constabulary was modelled). But most likely indicates USC in the photo.

Of all the great people I’ve worked with across the globe, none are finer than those I had the honour to serve with in the #RoyalUlsterConstabulary and the @PoliceServiceNI. While some may attempt to rewrite history, those of us who served know the truth and the sacrifice made by far too many of our colleagues. RIP #LestWeForget

[Royal Irish Constabulary 🇺🇦 @TheOldRIC]

In respectful remembrance of the Officers and Men of the Irish Constabularies who lost their lives on duty, or on active service with the armed forces.

[Royal Irish Constabulary 🇺🇦 @TheOldRIC]

RIP ex-Det Supt Albert Kirby, only 80 years old. Kirby led the Jamie Bulger case.
A real gentleman.
