Natures biggest failure is the life span of a dog. If it went on merit, loyalty, joy, selfishness and just simply the purest of souls then dogs would have eternal life on earth 😔💔🐶

Adopted this little one from an animal shelter. People can learn a lot from dogs. They appreciate every aspect of their relatively short lives in equal measure. They love to run, play, sleep and eat. They are forever loyal and forgiving and they are always happy to see you 😁👌🐶
I’ve now managed to go six weeks off the booze. Not a big deal for some but uncharted territory for me. I’ve always enjoyed a drink at the weekend whether out at the pub or at home and will again but just needed the break. I feel the better for it too which is the main thing👌
So we we go into a remote pub in Donegal but they don’t have a cash machine and we don’t have any cash. No bother they said, we’ll do you a tab and you can call back tomorrow. I fecking love Donegal 😁👌🍻💚💛
Here tell me this, isn’t it bar etiquette that when you are standing at a bar but you know the person beside you has been there first that you do that wee point if the bar person comes to you first? 🤔
I’m going to make a bold statement here and say that I’ve always enjoyed the Easter break better than the Christmas break. It’s more relaxed, it’s not a financial drain and the days are longer 😁☀️👌

🎶 On Raglan Road of an autumn day I saw her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue
I saw the danger, and I passed along the enchanted way
And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day🎶☘️🪕
“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that” Robin Williams, ten years gone today 🙌😔
What’s the census breakdown on people that are dead on? Because I couldn’t give a feck if someone is classified as a Catholic, Protestant, Scientologist, Atheist or moves from church to temple depending on what day it is. As long as you are sound then that’s all that matters 😁👌
Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit ☘️ A day when Ireland takes over the world 🌎 I hope you all have a great one and raise a glass in celebration and be proud of the influence that this island and its peoples has made and will continue to make around the globe 😁💚🙌👌
#StPatricksDay
So currently in a quaint rural pub where storm Betty is battering the windows. The rain is lashing and the wind sounds like a Banshee convention in the yard. But the drinks are a flowing, the trad session is a playing and the craic is a plenty. Absolute perfection 😁👌🍻
#Donegal
Just arrived at the quaintest little thatched cottage. Full of charm and it dates back to the 1800s I’m led to believe 👌 It’s a prime era for a place to be haunted but sure it will be good craic regardless. Have a great weekend everyone 😁👌💚💛

This platform has become incredibly nasty, toxic and divisive. So let’s start a timeline cleanse revolt ✊ Does anyone have a good news story to share? 🤔 Perhaps post or QT one of your favourite pics which highlights the beauty that still exists in this world? 🙏
Here’s mine:
As the sun sets on the final evening of our holiday, I just want to say that Donegal you have played an absolute blinder. The people, the scenery and the craic has been had. The glorious weather has also been a bonus. Until next time 😁👌🙌💚💛

BREAKING NEWS: Even though the Belfast Bin has been released, it has been reported that relations between the bin community and the police are now at an all time low. With many confrontations between bins and the police occurring across Belfast this evening.
#FreeTheBelfastBin
So apparently Twitter is telling me that my Rate limit has been exceeded whatever that means 🤔 so if you see this then please gave me a 👋otherwise I’m just typing away to myself here which is never good 😬
So it’s time to dust off the passport as tomorrow morning I’m off on my first flight out of here in almost five years 😬 Does the notion of time still not exist at the airport? I wonder if I’ll still get nervous for no reason going through security. Anyways, wish me luck 😁🤞✈️☀️
Listen everyone, I know it’s a dreaded Monday morning and the start of another working week but today Twitter has presented me with a load of balloons on my profile so every cloud has a silver lining 😁👌🥳🎈
I know there’s a lot of more important matters happening out there at the moment but tell me this, who else’s family always had a cup of tea with their chippy? Was this just a Belfast thing? 🤔
The wind and rain are battering the windows, doors and walls like a banshee barbershop quartet in the yard. It sounds relentless but the fires blasting, the fridge is stacked and the tunes are on. So it’s all good 👌😁
@hughlaurie
I beg to differ Hugh. My dog is a member of the Belfast Collies Alliance (BCA) and they meet up every Tuesday and Thursday to discuss all things Collie related 😁👌🐶
Thank you so much for all your lovely birthday messages and acknowledgments today as it meant a lot. You know Twitter (or X 🤢) has a lot of haters and melters on it but at the same time it is also full of the good and decent and you all know who you are, so much love 😁👌🙏✊❤️
So I just saved a dying bee by giving it a cocktail of sugar and water. That’s my good deed done for today. Now off you go little bee to preserve the ecological balance & biodiversity of nature 👌 You can all thank me later 😁💪🐝
Good to see the new dual language street signs being respected in the Cavehill area 😔 Are they really that insecure in their identity? It’s pathetic when you think about it as the Irish language is for everyone. Where do they think the name Belfast comes from? 🤔

I wish they would stop referring to the energy payment as a voucher. It’s not a voucher. They are just paying back some of your money that they shouldn’t have taken in the first place. It’s not some sort of gift that should be lauded and they should also be paying back more 🤔🤷🏻♂️
So I’m back to work tomorrow after a weeks annual leave. I touched very lucky with the weather so I can’t help but think that I should have went for two weeks 🥺 oh to be back here again 🙏☀️
#SundayFear
The clocks go forward this weekend people and I don’t know about anyone else but I’m absolutely delighted. Never underestimate the power that longer daylight, sunshine and finally hearing the birds sing again has on your mindset 😁👌🌤️

#MentalHealthMatters
I would just like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas 🎄I hope it’s a great one whatever you are doing. I also know that this period can be very difficult for many too so my thoughts are with them also 🙏 Take care everyone 😁 Nollaig shona dhaoibh ☘️
I’m a member of an Ireland supporters club and I’ve attended every competitive home game at the Aviva but yet once again I’m unable to watch tonight’s match on RTE due to to the sole fact as to where I live on this island. That doesn’t seem fair now does it? 🥺🤷🏻♂️🤬

Very sad news regarding the passing of Shane MacGowan. A unique legendary frontman with a unique voice who along with the rest of the Pogues put their very own spin on Irish folk music. May he rest in peace🙏 🎶Fare thee well, going away, there's nothing left to say🎶🙌🪕☘️
So we arrived at an isolated beach earlier on the most perfect of days. Absolutely stunning although being greeted by a man in a van who charged us three Euros for parking was a tad random. Absolutely no idea if he was legit or not but what are you going to do 🤷🏻♂️🤔👌☀️
#Donegal
I would like to give a very special shout out today to my dear mum, this time for her birthday 🥳🎂 it has been a very tough last 18 months for her as she has battled the horrible bastard that is cancer but she has and always will be the strongest and bravest person I know 🙏❤️🙌
It’s been pretty tough going lately so off tomorrow on a much needed trip back to the sea, the sand and the countryside. The perfect tonic for the mindset. A different area than usual so somewhere new to explore. Apologies in advance for any upcoming scenic pics 🙏📸💚💛
#Donegal
Like all alleged incidents that involve horrendous, despicable and deplorable actions, the main priority here first and foremost should always be to ensure that those who had the courage and strength to come forward be fully supported and commended at this very difficult time 🙏
Who is Andrew Doyle and why has he blocked me? 🤷🏻♂️ I bet you are all blocked too 🤔 If so then the Andrew Doyle blocked club are heading out for Friday drinks later 😁👌🕺🏻💃
Happy New Year everyone. I hope it’s a healthy and peaceful one 🙏 For me, this year has been tough but “life ain't about how hard ya hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done👌🙌❤️
You know life can be tough. We all have so much crap to deal with. So it’s always good to just get back to basics. Fresh air, the sound of the sea and the rolling green landscape works wonders for the mindset. The craic and the music helps too 😁👌🙏🎶
So off tomorrow on a very much needed summer break to my favourite place. It’s always nice to get away to unwind, reset and recharge. The beach, the sound of the sea and the stunning landscape. That’s what it’s all about👌😁🙌💚💛

It’s been pretty tough going lately so it’s nice when the warm weather finally arrives as it automatically lifts your mood. The longer daylight hours definitely helps too. Hopefully, we get a decent summer on the weather front as we deserve that, don’t you think? 🙏🤞👌☀️😁
Today is not
#BlueMonday
and it’s not the saddest day. It’s just a cheap marketing tool peddled by businesses exploiting the serious issue of mental health. If I’m feeling low, a nice long walk amongst the natural blue around us will always help. Buying an air fryer will not 🤔👌
It’s great to finally have the return of the epic Peaky Blinders this evening but it will also feel very bittersweet with the absence of the brilliant Helen McCrory as Aunt Polly 😔🙌
Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit ☘️ A day when Ireland takes over the world 💚 I hope you all have a great one and just remember if you have enough luck to be Irish, you're lucky enough 😁👌

I’m all for everyone here enjoying and celebrating their culture freely and vibrantly but in order to receive respect, you have to also give respect 🤨
#bonfires
An old abandoned house in a forest. It has all the hallmarks and warning signs of a horror movie. But I can smell the alluring scent of bread and cake baking from within so I’ll take a walk in here to investigate 🤔👌
Very sad to hear the news of the passing of Sinéad O’Connor. Very talented and someone who I greatly admired as she always spoke the truth. Her version of The Foggy Dew alongside The Chieftains is one of the most haunting performances that I’ve ever heard. Rest in Peace 😔🎤🙌☘️
Another stint in my favourite place Donegal locked in for August 😁 it really is that one place where I find my inner peace 🙏 where all of life’s problems get temporarily parked. The scenery, the people and the craic. Sure that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day👌💚💛🙌
