Great time last night exploring Gamay with DNS Wine Club
A firm favourite of the group was the Touraine from Wines Direct

Thank you Tony O'Brien & Will for organising 🍷

Great piece by Ciarán Murphy in today's The Irish Times Discussed the Casement Park redevelopment and the use of public money. Can it be used by the wider public and not just the GAA?

Israel only shoots at military targets, but they KNOW they keep those targets in populated areas - so the question is: Why are military targets more important than human life?? Why retaliate like this? Just more murder more bodies more hate. My heart bleeds for all the innocent…

This is a hard watch but an amazing portrayal by Steve Coogan. Savile was a relentless abuser and we havent even got to the Jim'll Fix it days. Still beggars belief that he escaped justice #TheReckoning

Tells the wife that he's going over to the rugby with the lads #IREvTON

Beautiful weissburgunder from Judith Beck in Austria. Purchased from my good friends TheWinePairDublin Well balanced acidity and pear flavour on the palete ❤️

The theatre ghost at London's Lyceum theatre has been granted a knighthood. The spectre, whose clothes and attitudes have never changed, said he was 'delighted' to be recognised even though he has no idea what year it is.
He has been given a K in recognition of doing fuck all.

Last winery visit was to Ribafreixo in the Alentejo. Great portfolio of which a good selection are brought into Ireland by Colm Carter
Many thanks to Justin O'Hanlon for organising the visit and the great staff at Ribafreixo ❤ #dnswineclubontour

Oh fuck off. What next, a feather from the dove released by Noah? 😂

It's the completely unconscious nature of this cliched bigotry that is so fascinating. The idiot has no idea what he's doing either in general (the sheer laziness of the stereotypes) or in particular (Biden is teetotal).

Being a patriot isn’t fawning over a man who inherits a throne

Nor celebrating a sovereignty of which you can’t articulate the benefits

It’s wanting a properly funded NHS that will care for you & your fellow Brits numerous times throughout your lives

But maybe that’s just me…

Ben and I recorded the new album last summer in a little studio on the banks of the river Avon. Here we are on a break on a sunny June day. Not long now, album out next week! 💥

He would be great 👍

I don’t know if this is the greatest horse race of all time, but it strikes me as the most memorable & heartbreaking. The Grand National. Colour TV was new. A great chaser in Crisp jumping the Liverpool fences brilliantly; the arrival of a champion in Red Rum. 50 years ago today!

This mentality is what will keep holding the game back in this country. We don’t need to find a way to be more niggly and irritating. We need to up skill our game understanding, attacking frameworks and how to run them and get back to enjoying our rugby. From England to the prem

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence.

It took time. #GenocidePreventionDay

This #InternationalWomensDay , we celebrate and salute all the women and girls who play sports at all levels and ages. Thank you for playing with us, coaching us, and inspiring us.

Imagine being able to have that privilege 😂

Salma al-Shehab was sentenced to 34 years in prison in Saudi Arabia because of tweets and retweets on human rights issues - including women's right to drive cars.
This was the weekend of the Saudi Cup in racing, Newcastle United at Wembley and boxing in Riyadh. Saudiwashing.

It’s a very high bar but this might be Boris Johnson’s most duplicitous & irresponsible intervention yet. The absurdity of threatening Sunak for abiding by the terms of a treaty Johnson signed is off the charts. Supporters & client journalists are too thick or too bent to admit.
