Just left homebase nutgrove… at the checkout next to me an elderly man’s card didn’t work as he couldn’t remember the pin… the lady at the till paid quickly for it on her own card and said ‘have it on me’… moments of kindness like this need to be told. #BeKindAlways

I’m earwigging.. hard not to in hairdressers tbh… anyway it seems someone went to Turkey for liposuction and ‘they took out her two kidneys and sold them… she’s lucky to be still alive’… lucky? It’s a bloody miracle 😆

To all the parents out there calling teachers ‘lazy’, ‘whiny’, ‘useless’ (and worse), I ask just one question.What kind of a parent sends their most precious loved ones into the care of these ‘insufferable’ people who are worse than pond scum? #Hypocrisy #edchatie #teachertrolls

I am 190km from home… teen 2 has phoned me 6 times … his father is in the house with him. When I mentioned that maybe his dad could help him with his queries, his response was one of incredulity…

The Mammy was here and asked teen 1 how ‘his line’ was going.. he looked at her blankly and said ‘what line’? Oh how we laughed and laughed.. and he looked more and more lost … I then explained 🤣.. It’s definitely an age thing but is it also a rural thing?? Just wondering..

During the Dublin lockdown can everyone buy from independent shops and businesses where possible ... ditch the diet and get a few takeaways from independent eateries, buy a few books from local bookshops, get a coffee from a non chain café. #supportsmallbusiness

Dear Maths Exam Setter and @NormaFoleyTD1perhaps you both are out of touch with current LC teens (and how they are probably the most educationally affected by the P), but what you did with #MathsP1 was an outright disgrace.I advise a six month stint in the classroom to remedy.
