Great great news. #milkfromacowforaday drawing to a close. Huge thanks to everyone but special nod to a number that went the extra mile. You know who you are. €160k from farmers and a super €90k from others. So proud of our industry. @RTECountryWide @RTENewsNow @farmersjournal – at Longford, Ireland

I really get annoyed at politicians who confuse that the electorate "got it wrong", with that they didn't vote for us. The electorate is the ultimate arbitration body.

Today's outright attempt to buy the US election is the final straw. @elonmusk offering money for votes is so undemocratic and dangerous. I've had a great time on twitter, but X is an anathema to all I believe. Goodbye. Over and out.!

Anyone else saddened by @RTE_PrimeTime lack of perspective and balance last night? As a public service broadcaster, we should get accruarcy without contrived sensationalism.

Anyone else wish that RTE had given someone who was working yesterday a day off today?

olympedia.org/athletes/54245 This is my grandfather, Dr Jim Beckett. He represented Ireland in Paris 1924 as captain of the water polo team. National swimming champion, interpro rugby player, champion boxer, top cricket. Pioneer of anaesthetics and war hero. Tough act to follow.
