Big congrats to me! 🎉Just a month ago, I gave crypto investing a crack with no experience at all, and the results have been unreal. Things have worked out better than I ever expected 🚘 • If you're keen to see how I got started, give @MarieReynop2qn a follow

What an amazing win by @nyknicks in the @NBA finals, behind in most games by double digits and still found a way to get it done. 53 years is a long time to wait for anything in New York and the celebrations will be awesome, my grandson Billy is over the moon, a big Knicks fan

3 years after missing out on @masters through #prostatecancer battle, I got this amazing gift from @RoscommonGAA legend @donie_89 today and blown away by it. Should I wear it or keep it, a tough choice . @RTEsport @offtheball @ExaminerSport @irishexaminer @echolivecork

So sad to hear that the great Oscar Schmidt has passed away who was the leading Olympic points scorer with 1,093 points & has most points scored in a tournament-338 points & the highest ppg average with 42.3 pts & hit 55 points in a single game, a record @BballIrl @ExaminerSport

So sad to hear of the passing of Michael Lyster. I first met him at the @BballIrl cup finals in the 1990’ and then regularly in my time with @RTEgaa and @TheSundayGame, a gentleman whom I admired greatly and always felt he was the epitome of polish and class. A sad day today.

What a year 2025 has been for me, After the highs of 2024 & the Olympic Games, I could not see at the start of this year how that could be bettered for me. However it was & is now one of the most special years in my life. #HappyChristmas #Boomshakalaka

25 years has passed in a blink of an eye since you passed Mum and the pain is still the same. Think of you everyday. X

Going home to Cork even briefly gives me the chance to say hello to my mum & dad , chat a while & say a prayer. Life is a beautiful thing with so many wonderful memories, happy & sad but always remember that they loved me without asking for anything from me, they were so special.

Was at the @Bluedemons_BC v @BallincolligB game tonight in the @BballIrl super league game , really impressed with Ballincollig who deserved the W. Demons have a lot of work to do to get up the table. Loved meeting up with former teammates & friends @echolivecork @Corkmensbball
