I went on this ride last summer with my niece and brother when we were at Universal in Florida. My niece and I were in the front row seats (same seats as Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Hart in this video). It was awesome.

Grasshopper.....in the Irish language, it's called "dreoilín teaspaigh" which translates to English as "wren of the hot weather"

I'm quite addicted to this song from Dominic Fike at the moment

 

 

Dominic Fike - 3 Nights

Yes those pics won’t be of The Pacific Trash Vortex because like @Agger says, it doesn’t look like a bunch of trash floating on top of the ocean like that. It’s more dispersed and full of micro plastics in every part of the water. So it’s a huge problem but those pics will most likely be from some other lake or something where trash has gathered in huge quantity.

No I don’t think she was singing in whatever the fuck that movie was, but she is very, very popular in the US. She started as teenage country singer, she was America’s sweetheart. Then in her 20s she began to switch to pop, and then she became America’s bad girl.

 

Cats, it’s a musical that’s been running on the West End and Broadway since what seems like forever.

Dublin, yes.

 

Btw, I have never been on a plane before, so that would be the first problem that needs to be tackled.

 

 

The flying is fine... it's the airports that are the annoying part

Nice photo journey @OlympicIRL!

Who knows, maybe I'll visit Ireland in a year or two. A close friend of mine is moving there soon, and I already got an invite.

 

Cool. Where in Ireland they moving to? Dublin?

Yesterday I went to visit Glenveagh National Park and castle, about 30 mins drive from my home. Really beautiful and very relaxing way to spend a few hours.

Flynn was enjoying himself, exploring every inch of woodland.

 

 

And he spotted a nice place to cool down....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, Flynn I think you have had enough bath time. Time to go home...

So Donald Trump has begun his visit to Ireland. Already words of wisdom from him...

 

 

 

Hmm, yes. A border in Ireland will work out really well, like nothing in history there to say otherwise

Ireland Exit Poll:

 

Midlands-North-West EU Constituency 

McGuinness(FG-EPP): 25%
Carthy(SF-LEFT): 15%
McHugh(GP-G/EFA): 12%
Flanagan(*-LEFT): 10%
Walsh(FG-EPP): 10%
Casey(*-*): 7%
Smith(FF-ALDE): 6%
Rabbitte(FF-ALDE): 3%
Hannigan(Lab-S&D): 3%

 

 

 

Things are looking good in my constituency for my candidates I cast my preferential votes for (Carthy, McHugh and Flanagan). Looks like all 3 will win a seat in the EU parliament

Also, delighted with the new "green wave" that appears to be sweeping Ireland. The Green Party looks set to win a seat in all 3 of the EU constituencies which could help sway the balance of power in the EU parliament. Very happy with the first tally figures

Today polling station will be open in Czech Republic and Ireland. Good vote @OlympicIRL 

 

Just back from voting. Voted for a mixture of left-leaning and Green Party candidates in the local and EU elections and voted in favour of the divorce amendment.

Also, in Ireland, most candidates and parties and the general public are pro-European and in general the level of anti-EU sentiment is quite low here.

 

I don’t expect turnout to be very strong this year. It’s been a very low-key election this time and Brexit fatigue has really set in so it’s harder to motivate people when it comes to politics at the moment.

For me, any time to highlight the persecution of the Palestinians is absolutely the right time. It’s a heartbreaking situation they face day after day, so good on Hatari I say.

[OlympicIRL 5,031]

For me the jury votes used to be more in line to my taste. But recently I find the jury votes becoming very eccentric. Netherlands getting zeros from many juries just seems a bit odd. It will never seem like there is the right balance though and that's just how things will always be.

[OlympicIRL 5,031]

Yet again Sweden getting ridiculous jury scores.
