culchie’s kids living in Dublin, one’s from Leitrim and one’s from Kerry, cue the obligatory half & half abomination. Look, your kid’s a Dub. Let them be.

Whatsapp groups.

While very useful for getting stuff done at one level, they are some pain in the arse. The worst types on it are for example… Bob the 2012 hurling group leader posts in the Whatsapp that he requires maybe all families to give 10 euro each for sliothars and hi-viz tops. Then the idiot responeses start rolling in

ā€œgood idea Bob, just sent you a tenner thereā€

ā€œnice one Bob, just sent you on some money there, can you let me know if you got it?ā€

ā€œsentā€

ā€œdone, thanksā€

ā€œis 10 enough Bobā€

"I have a drinks bottle here from Saturday, blue…anyone?

and on and on all day

I’ve tried that but there’s actually more admin involved as you could be getting multiple private messages, especially if you’re having to help sort out lifts.
Didn’t work for me anyway :man_shrugging:

The little reaction things have helped. A few hearts and strong arms have saved a load of repetitive ā€˜amazing performance’ messages.

I didn’t go. I wouldn’t be a David Gray fan. Ive seen the Divine Comedy a few times before and they were always excellent
