"What in the name of Padre Pio's glove do you think you are at?"
"That's a weird hurley. Anyway, not to worry - you've more chance of being the next Rose than the next President."
"So peter, do you have an opinion on #singleuseplastic and the environment?"
that first one nearly made me piss myself. His follow up tweet is no better and the first two responses are just mean.

Meanwhile, the Nordies' vote on whether to rename looks likely to be invalidated as too few electors could be arsed.
(Macedonia of course, although there was a lighthouse of that name in Belfast Lough. Gives its name to Rathcoole electoral ward)

The South's imminent poll should be good. They're picking one of three Dragon's Denizens to be the next Pres (assuming that Higgins wins this time but that if he dies or steps down in office they'll give it to the runner up to save money and Berba's blood pressure)

Higgins 70%
Gallagher 14%
Freeman 6%
Ní Ríada (SF) 5%
Duffy 4%
Casey 1%
Michael D even secures 55% of SF's own voters, and candidates have to win 12.5% of votes to recover their deposits.
