Today I learnt that the Irish name for "The Netherlands" is "An Ísiltír". "England" is of course "Sasana"...

I used to have one of these when I was a little kid. I was told then that it was a Gonk but am now reliably informed that it is actually a Troll Doll. I feel my whole life has been a lie.

"Troll Doll" is not to be confused with "Trolley Dolly" which is a term used to describe a member of the cabin crew.

This is a relief - if true - but it's it's just a holding operation. The left needs to take the fight to the fascists much more strongly, and not just in France.

I've only just realised a difference between Hurling and Camogie: in the latter, the goalies wear the same strip as the rest of the team, while in the former they wear different colours.

The FPTP system means that if a far-right party gets 5 seats and a progressive Green party gets 4, then the former gets all the press coverage and the latter gets none.
