Colm O'Regan: An elf, a chicken and a slice of toast walk into a bar...
Children invent their own absurd rules of humour and it will most often surpass anything funny an adult can think up

Colm O'Regan: Even after the announcement of a vaccine, things are still meh
Colm O'Regan: Late Late Toy Show star Jacky McCullough put Dripsey on the mention map
"Before social media, small villages and townlands weren’t mentioned as much. There were simply not so many places to mention them."

Colm O'Regan: Even after the announcement of a vaccine, things are still meh
Colm O'Regan: I'm brewing ideas about tea leaves v tea bags
For the first time in decades, I’m back on the loose tea. Teabags have been mainstays since they first crept in years ago. Displacing the loose tea like a grey squirrel chasing away poor Sammy. When they arrived first, the tea bags were cleaner.

Colm O'Regan: the people working hard to find this sneak of a virus are working their holes off
Colm O'Regan: Ben Shepherd tips the scales on daytime TV
Day-time TV has its moments. Most of the moments are less than magic.  On a good day, it might be Columbo and hopefully, you’ll have switched on in time for him to prove the gun couldn’t have been fired the way the sweating witness claimed.

Colm O'Regan: Even after the announcement of a vaccine, things are still meh
Yes! We celebrated. Or rather we used the announcement of a vaccine as an excuse to get filthy pizza. Pizza with the right amount (a lot) of oil drizzled on it. And the garlic mayonnaise that is only possible to get in takeaways.

Colm O'Regan: the people working to find this virus are working their holes off
Cough, she said. Cough, cough cough, she went on. My wife got a cough. A cough we hoped wasn’t The Cough. She rang the doctor confessing the cough hoping to gain absolution.

Colm O'Regan: One of my life goals is getting rid of old photos with my resting bitch face
Life goals: there are different types.

Colm O'Regan: Busy trying to make a living out of laughter
Colm O'Regan: Busy trying to make a living out of laughter
I’ve never been asked the question before this year. There was something about the way a Dublin Nana asked me this week: “Are you working?” It had a 1980s feel to it. The old-style recession.

Colm O'Regan: Don’t take away the disease-dole for doing a bit on the side
Colm O'Regan: Don’t take away the disease-dole for doing a bit on the side
I know nothing about anything, so this is probably all wrong. But here goes anyway. Think of it like I’m on a swap site giving away something for free.

Colm O'Regan: When beaches were much further away
Colm O'Regan: I'd prefer to be one of the sheeple than a killer
If I obey the rules I’m either an eejit or I don’t kill someone. If I don’t I’m a legend or I could kill someone.
