Alright Sort of the Year 2026

Spent a bit of time with John Creedon today.

I’ve gone full Cork and am nominating him for ASOTY. A sound enough fella.

Baring her soul with regard to her battles with depression.
Frightening, sad, troubling and uplifting all rolled into one.

Not an easy thing to do so credit to her.

Be a great story to see him lift silverware this year with Clare

Division 1B title is well within their grasp you’d have to say.

Tis. And we all know how limerick struggled to get out of that once upon a time. And now look at them

Spot on. We won it fair and square below in Ennis and the powers that be changed the rules and put us back down there but we just got on with it, won it again and never looked back. Hopefully, fingers crossed, Clare can do the same.

Cognisant of the fact that god knows what may come out of that family tree yet, the twin abandoned daughters of me man in America are really drilling the wanker when they have the chance. And fair fucks to them for it

Seamus Culleton.

He has all the screaming Uncle Toms screaming.

Conan O’Brien says he has “incredible empathy for people who have immigrated to another country” after traveling to Ireland and seeing his great-grandfather lived.

"I went back to Ireland and I [saw] a great genealogist who said, ‘I found where your great-grandfather’s home was.’ The home is gone, but he found the little spot where he lived, near the Galbally Mountains. He said, ‘I’ll go there and show it to you,’ and I said, ‘We’ll do it on camera.’

"I was expecting to have these jokes loaded up; we had props and funny things we were going to do… But I got there, and I did not expect this because I’m not someone who wears my emotions on my sleeve, but I got emotional. It was very powerful.

"This was a very small plot of land. He was a tenant farmer, so it wasn’t his. He didn’t have money, and he needed to move on because it wasn’t working; probably not enough to eat, couldn’t sustain. So, he left and went to America, and here I am a couple of generations later.

"What’s amazing to me is when you have that experience and you stand there, I have incredible empathy for people who have immigrated to another country. It takes an entire lifetime to go to a country where, often, people don’t speak the language. They have to spend their entire lives just getting things started for the next generation; it’s a whole lifetime that you’re feeding into this process.

“I was just thinking about this guy, whom I’ll never meet, who had to do that. I think I was overcome by the fact that there’s a lot of sadness in that story, and in a lot of these stories. People leave not because they think, ‘Hey, I just want to go have fun in America.’ They leave because they have to.”
