Unashamed celebration and romanticisation of Irelandโs stunningly beautiful islands with apologies to those who can actually speak our native language.
At a festival in my home town recently, I entered the Guess the Age of the Hen competition. And I won!! In fact Iโve won it two years in a row now. It was much easier the second year. It was the same hen.
Ah yes the bell tolls. Itโs around this time on a Thursday evening I begin to whimper in a corner. I try to relax by visualising a fawn lapping from a mountain stream. The fawn is invariably nipped by evil badgers wearing
@gdavies
and
@AlexHorne
masks. Let battle resume.
I watched a nature documentary the other night in which an octopus opened a jam jar! Incredible image. Forget about dogs and cats - an octopus would make a great pet for an older person.
Top Gun Maverick has to be one of the stupidest, most predictable movies ever but itโs also insanely enjoyable and I cried when the men hugged even though I knew the hug was going to happen and was determined not to cry. Damn!

A lot of chatter lately about intimacy coordinators on TV sets. For the record I approve. But was just wonderingโฆare intimacy coordinators available for home visits at all?

It does! In Ep 5 of

People's Podcast, we saw NO-ONE in the first chair has won - every other chair has won 4-5 times. If you're far from Greg in the studio, you don't win
Of course it's alphabetical so really you need to blame your parents for not naming you Zardal

My left hand is utterly useless. It has ONE regular job - to cut the fingernails on my right hand. Made a complete balls of it. Iโve just tried cutting the fingernails on my right hand WITH my right hand. Did a better job!
@ardalsfolly
Hi Ardal, I also own a piece of Father Ted history, I own the actual He-Man duvet and pillow case that you used on set. My Dad won it for me from eBay auction the actor Michael Fenton-Stevens was running.
Saw a wonderful sight today - a flock of geese flying in the X formation! Was about to call a radio station when I realised my mistake. It was actually two separate flocks of geese flying in the V formation from opposite directions. No birds injured thankfully.

hello Ardalโs team. Saw a tweet about US shows this fall but canโt find a complete list to figure out if we can get somewhere. Have tried multiple searches, finding NYC and Venice, CA. Can you help? Would love to attend a show, esp if in Midwest US (IL, OH, MI, etc).
