ICYMI – The Best of Irish Twitter This Week

To the uninitiated, Twitter can be a bit of a mine field. It's where memes and news stories are often born and, in many ways, it's a language in and of itself. And then, of course, you've got the specific subculture that is Irish Twitter which is a whole other ball game.

We here at LADBible understand that it can be overwhelming trying to stay on top of a platform that feels like if you blink, you'll miss something crucial. That's why we've put together this nifty guide to the best of what's occurred on Irish Twitter this week - the funniest memes, the hottest takes and the moments that just made us say WT actual F.

So grab a cuppa, sit back and catch up on all the best tweets you might have missed this week, safe in the knowledge you can regurgitate them all to your friends as though they're your original thoughts in the coming week.

LOL - This week's funniest tweets

Ciara McShane illustrates the point that there is such a thing as too much of a good thing, including Twitter speak.

The secret life of a National Library of Ireland librarian sounds blissfully simplistic.

Sounds like the sort of chemist frequented by Tony Cantwell's Ploon character.

All in favour of sending a Britney-shaped float down the Liffey on November 12th raise your hand?

A big 'ba-dum-tss' to you for this one Maurice Walsh.

This guy is lucky he came out of this cooking experience with both eyes intact by the looks of things.

TBH - The tweets that made us go 'Hmm...'

Oh dear. We are sure Fine Gael TD Josepha Madigan had the best of intentions here but as you can see from the reaction from many Twitter users with genuine mobility issues, her efforts left a lot to be desired it would seem.

It was the LinkedIn post heard around the country this week after a Lettings Manager at leading estates agent Sherry Fitzgerald took to the social media platform to boast about the agency's ability to 'achieve record breaking rents and source the highest quality tenants'. The levels of a tone deaf are off the Richter scale here.

Before you read the tweet below, prepare for your heart to be broken. The Savoy has since responded explaining that its no cash policy is a response to the need to reduce interactions between employees and customers in light of COVID but it does make you wonder what are the other casualties to such a rule?

You'll be delighted to know that Cineworld has since invited this man in to see No Time To Die and gave him the star treatment.

WTF - An ode to the tweet we just didn't see coming

Thanks for that mental image Bressie. Lovely.
