One time in New York I was in a restaurant with my cousins and Robert Downey Jr walked by, took one of my fries, dipping it in ketchup and said ‘no one is ever going to believe you’ before walking out..
No words can describe how astounding the Northern Lights were tonight here in Laois. First time seeing them with the naked eye! The pics ⬇️are as we saw them.
40 years on my bucket list and finally they obliged

Being fobbed off by airlines with a travel voucher that never gets processed?
I made a charge back claim to BOI on my Aer Lingus flights, and was refunded the €504 to my debit card, for services not provided, after months chasing the airline.
Pass the tip on!
Celine Dion hasn’t sung publicly for 4 years due to her stiff-person syndrome, a terribly debilitating disease. Never knew if she’d sing again.
She sang with such power from the Eiffel Tower to 1000’s tonight. Thats the

spirit right there 🫶🏻
If you get an email or message from someone that uses a Fada eg as in the name Cáit, do you make the effort to reply with the fada? Someone thanked me today for noticing it. It's the little things lads.
Received our 1st electricity bill since installing our solar panels 2 months ago.
Fed back to the grid €107, Energy consumed from the grid €70. Credit of €37. Not a bad start!
Any questions, just shout. There's a l lot of thought before making the decision!
A sneaky lunchtime Guinness to celebrate 21 months all clear from cancer today.
To the wonderful staff who as always are so caring. Scanxiety was horrid this time, but here’s to good health 🍻
So I went to my doctor about my hearing. He said describe the symptoms..
I said Homer is fat & bald, Marge has blue hair, Bart is the cheeky one, Lisa is the bright one, and Maggie don’t say much…

I don't think I could bear to listen to him.
Should have been Paul Rudd, Jeff Goldblum and Reese Witherspoon hosting the show!
Fastways courier comes to the door and said I should look in his van as the package may be revealing 🎅 Said he’d pop it over in the shed until the coast was clear.
There’s lots of such nice people out there folks 🫶🏻
We went to Dublin on the train yesterday with the kids. Group of 8-10 scumbags on the Red Luas gloating about hammer fights they had, and intimidating passengers.
Thing is, scumbags existed in the 80’s when I lived in Dublin. It’s not new. Difference is these aren’t afraid.

💇Side burns and facial hair fully back 🪒Wet shaving feels great
⚡️Energy levels continue to improve
😒Tinnitus/hearing still affected. Grrrr!
🎂But it’s my birthday today! Not too bad for 48 given the winter I had 😆
Some good news! 18 months all clear from

after todays scan🙏
If anyone comes across the hashtag and has any questions, feel free to reach out
For me there was so little info on this rare cancer, and what was there was so scary. Happy to share my experience
Ireland has now caught up on the US on our vaccination program.
In Ireland 67% of adults with 1 jab and 47% fully vaccinated - exactly the same figures as the US, who started weeks before we did.
I don’t care what you say, but that “hello Rory” you get when you come back through passport control in dublin airport, is still a nice Irish welcome home touch.
Why can’t we train up thousands of block layers, plasterers, carpenters, plumbers, etc and build 150,000 new houses, including affordable, over the next 3 years, and solve a lot of this countries problems? Or is this way too simple thinking??
This Tuesday last year, around now, I received the horrifying news I had a rare Stage III
#NasopharyngealCancer
4 months of treatment started swiftly but was very tough. Slowly returning to normal
7 month all clear last week 🙏
Thanks for the support ❤️
Live. Every. Minute.
I see MMA dick has deleted all his tweets from the last few days, including those harassing
@pjgallagher
and
@Paulmcgrath5
and the extremely bizarre 3 airplane videos where he seems on more than whiskey.
His PR / legal team must have gotten hold of his phone when he passed out..
Just got the 💉text!!
Moderna on Wednesday in Portlaoise. 47 here.
Feels like 15 months of stress has just fallen from my shoulders. 🎉🎉🎉
8 days earlier than my “too optimistic”guesstimate back in February 😉
There’s days when you think

is going backwards. But then you see a pic of yourself from just 2 months ago, and you tell yourself to cop on!
Is that actually me on the left??
206 countries have taken part in these

Ireland is ranked 12th
194 countries below us, 137 have no medals.
What an achievement…so far… 🇮🇪🇮🇪
No no no no no 😥😥😥😥
Rest in Peace Sinead. This is unbelievably tragic news to hear. One of our truly finest singers and a troubled angels. ❤️Sinead O’Connor
This sums up last weekend so well.
Such joy they brought. Anyone else still flicking through the clips? 😀
All the more magical it happening in Croker.

To anyone who protested on Grafton Street:
You fucking pathetic deluded scumbags. I hope no one you know gets seriously sick due to your actions. 😡😡😡😡😡
Dear bank manager, if you could do me a massive one and reduce me oul bank loan by 99.4% and sure while you’re there just write off the aul overdraft and credit card. Thanks
Ireland.
What’s the nicest / best thing that happened to you this week?
I’ll start, a small thing. Managed over 30 minutes walk for the first time this year!

Portlaoise.
Relief is almost overwhelming😊
PS: Know your PPS number.
I hope Twitter stays and the good peeps stay too. I just couldn’t restart on a new platform..13 years, 78,000 tweets and almost 11,000 mostly sound pals here.
Are most of ye planning to stay?
Im overwhelmed with the kind messages since I posted about my health issue tonight. They’ve really lifted me, as today was a bit yuk.
If you’ve any questions at all, feel free to ask. Maybe hold off for the next 2 weeks until I’m finished treatment but Im happy to share / help.
I’ve tweeted quite a bit on my
#CancerRecovery
since treatment ended 3 months ago
Thanks for all the incredible support, it really has helped 🙏
I won’t be tweeting about it again, as it’s time to move on, but I’ll let you know how the PET scan goes, but right now all is good😊
50 years ago today, my granny McEvoy, her son, her sister, and her niece were among 6 people killed in the worst car accident ever in Kildare.
In a split second, young lives lost and their families lives affected forever 😥
Thinking of them today..
Drive carefully..
Lots of happy tears since yesterday’s scan
Shaking like a leaf when Dr Duane started her camera scope, then seeing her smile and knowing it was a very positive outcome, is a moment that will live with me forever☺️
The paused life, the many icky side effects, all so so worth it
We’ve come a long way baby!
From 25k 💉a week, to 380k, to walk-in vaccination centers for all 16+
By Aug 10th I guesstimate:
18+: 95% partial💉/ 80% full
16+: 92% partial💉/ 77% full
Total Pop: 75% partial / 65% full
World-leading statistics👏🇮🇪
Full normality is not far away
@gavreilly
What possible reason would they have a cutoff of 39? Surely just send out a few dozen to each family in the state and be done with it. Tiring these half assed solutions
Reasons I’m positive:
💉Vaccine program accelerating
🏥Cases and hospitals stable
🦠Vaccines effective on transmission•severe illness•variants
🚘County travel for starters
🔚This is the last lockdown
🎊Life will gradually return to normal in 2021
⚠️ This is just my feeling!!🤞
