Something so satisfying about this man’s refusal to take the bait with the usual leading questions on migration. Just calmly & stubbornly fair-minded, straightforward, no nonsense answers in a perfect Wexford accent right in the middle of the town. 10/10
My favourite of all train passengers are the ones who can see the name displayed above the seat, can see you sitting there, look you in the eye and ask you - “is that you there is it?”.
And then walk on as if they could lay a valid claim to the seat on catching you out.

Here's a short clip from that chat where he explains how he started

This surveillance story from @ShamimMalekmian @DublinInquirer of a biometric identification system put in place by @nedcollege to log international students’ attendance is a perfect example of a tech solution in search of a problem.

I’m watching the Beckham doc purely for Roy Keane content but Gary Neville being quizzed as to why he never went to the Hacienca is a nice little cherry on top – at Dublin City, Ireland
