Instead of dry January I’m gonna do fry January where everyday Maureen shticks the fry on, and then I go at it again and there’d be no fuckin shtoppin me
Went to Gothenburg after only learning Swedish for 6 months (at the time) and still managed to communicated with native Swedish people, both understanding each other. Not impressive to some, but it is to me!
If y’all are gonna make “Thomas the Tank Engine” jokes about the train I saw today, at least get the character right.
It’s Edward, people. Edward. Not Thomas.
Dwarf planet Haumea was just found to have a ring system. That's been the highlight of my week so far. Actually an amazing and very unexpected discovery!
Thanks for the Norwegian course update DuoLingo. I’m now on Sect. 2 Unit 4, and not unit 12, and am seeing words I’ve never learned before. No no this is fine not at all making me reconsider the whole course after the effort I’ve put in since March 🫠😑😤
Jag fick en hundra nya följare från min tweet om IFK. Beklagar om jag inte har följt er tillbaka. En hundra är mycket för mig! Hej allihopa 🙌
I got a hundred new followers from my tweet about IFK. Sorry if I haven’t followed you back. A hundred is a lot for me! Hello all 🙌
The worst part about learning similar languages is nouns that change gender depending on the language. Always mixing them up.

If you speak any languages that aren’t your mother tongue, then you’re a polyglot.
I’m learning 🇸🇪🇳🇴🇩🇰 which are fairly similar languages. If I reach “fluency” in all of them, I’m a polyglot
Dublin Bus have done nothing wrong
Luas have done nothing wrong
Local businesses have done nothing wrong
So WHY do you break in, set alight, & destroy their property when they have *nothing* to do with today’s incident? You know who has done wrong? Everyone still on Parnell St

At last, I’m finally out of retail as of today 🙌. As much as I moaned and complained; Spar it’s been a pleasure, and you’re welcome 🫡
One word: Wow! What a read. I’d encourage anyone with even the slightest interest in astrophysics/cosmology to give this a read, you won’t be sorry! So much to learn & take from it, especially at the end - I know I did.
@AstroKatie
smashed it here 🙌
Looks like a good summer of international football ahead:
-UEFA Nations League finals
-CONCACAF Gold Cup
-AFCON
-InterGames
-CONIFA Euros
-UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers
-Pacific Games
-Copa America
-AFC World Cup Qualifiers
And I’m sure there’s much more too. Let’s do this 🙌
Celebrating this one in work, but what an unreal victory to push us into safety, to stop Häcken going top, and to turn Gothenburg blue and white 🔵⚪️

The Earth is actually furthest from the Sun in its orbit in July. And the Sun won’t begin any meaningful brightening for another billion years at least, by which it’ll be 10% brighter. Expansion begins after hydrogen burning, about 4-5 billion years from now

No station has ever existed under the park as far as I’m aware. The remains of Cabra sidings lie on one side (new property lies there now), and disused Heuston platform 10 (soon to be new Heuston West station with the DART+) lies on the other side
Watching YouTube videos about Swedish, in Swedish, and they’re talking between 75%-100% speed and Omg I can understand most of it. Progress I didn’t even know I made 🙌🇸🇪

Oh Christopher Hitchens without question. The man would say anything without fear, and was always right. Saying what the public these days would be scared to say. And his debating skills were sensational. The perfect atheist representative
I do think St Kitts & Nevis could win all their CONCACAF Nations League qualifiers. They’ll be tough, especially Canada. But the talent is there!

This may be controversial, but for me it’s a 10. I started using it hoping to get the occasional phrase to use on my holiday to Sweden. 8 months later I was conversing with locals. Other resources were used of course, but DuoLingo was and still is my foundation
I’ll never understand the appeal of a sun holiday. You sit in the scorching heat and just char for a week or two? That’s nightmare fuel for me. Give me a cold city break any time
God nytt år 🇸🇪
And
Godt nyårs 🇳🇴

Lycka till, mina vänner!!
Morocco qualifying for the last four of the World Cup reminds me of Peter Drury’s famous commentary line, “Goal for all of Africa”. Because that’s what this is. If African football wasn’t on the map before, it certainly is now
Gutted to see Coach Passey step down from the role of St. Kitts And Nevis football manager. He really put that team on the football map. Big shoes to fill now. All the best going forward

From all of St. Kitts And Nevis 🇰🇳

for indirectly persuading me to get this - worth every cent 🙌
This time last year I was in Gothenburg speaking Swedish with whoever I could, and it was so nerve wracking and rewarding! Learn a foreign language, go to that country, and speak their tongue to them. It’s so freeing! 🇸🇪
Wanna do this with Norwegian next 😁
If you could instantly be native in any 5 languages, what would they be?
1) Swedish
2) Greenlandic
3) Norwegian
4) Danish
5) Irish
Not counting English since I speak it, and I know Irish should be higher up the list but school crushed any last hope of ever speaking it
“The DART - No Ordinary Day” was amazing tonight! Such a shame it’s only a once off thing; imagine even a mini series of that - would be unreal 🙌. As if I didn’t wanna work for Irish Rail enough, I want to even more now

, and tbh it’s a little sad seeing the CIÉ early 90s design go. Drogheda will be next, Wicklow after that, then that design is consigned to history. Shame really.
New current favourite Danish word:
🇩🇰 Spørgsmålet - The question
Eg: Jeg ved at spørgsmålet er svært
Just look at that spelling and indeed the pronunciation too
