@TheJournal @TheGuardian @Tupp_ed Now it is common-place. But back then.. multi-participant live tweeting into a curated stream was very new. @Tupp_ed would find new tool providers, sign up to them, and then have their tech teams in tears because of the #LateLateToyShow or an Irish election or “Tuesday”.
@PaulDunphyEsquire some of the neighbours with young kids put theirs up for the #latelatetoyshow but we normally wait until the week before Christmas

Can you believe it’s been nearly a week since the #LateLateToyShow? 😮
Joining Ryan on the #LateLate tomorrow night…
@sinnfeinireland@twitter.com's @MaryLouMcDonald@twitter.com.
She'll discuss the party's performance in the polls, what a united Ireland might look like and lots more!

#LateLateToyShow As predicted, the appeal has raised close to 4 million EUR for charity so far per radio this morning! 🥳🎈🥳
Had the chance to chat with Cork's newest hip-hop superstar, MC Bucky, after his #LateLateToyShow appearance on Friday night!
He was repping Music Generation Cork City, and works on making hip-hop with music educator GMCBeats up at the Kabin studios in Hollyhill.

@Steveb I’d say some of it is people cooling down their excitement after the initial switch. But there’s also just the broad madness of this time of year. It’s hard to compare average timeline posting to #latelatetoyshow etc.
@heyitserin Yeah, this place is fairly popular. Local tab is updating every minute or so with new posts. Was popular last Friday night for the #LateLateToyShow
It's just nice.
Thanks to everyone for the advice about watching the #LateLateToyShow - we managed to watch it, loved it and we all think grumpy librarian munchkin needs her own show.
@aral
On the main chat-show in Ireland they have a special Christmas episode where they bring on kids who sing/dance, etc and show off toys.
It's the unofficial start of the Christmas season for many in Ireland:

It's a bit silly, but also good craic 🙂
The hashtag was going crazy on Mastodon.ie instance last Friday for it: #LateLateToyShow
Was a good stress test for the instance 😃
@doolaladida it has to be up before we watch the #LateLateToyShow I have been very busy so we recorded it and watching it tonight.
@am_flynn Nope, not at all. A load of posts last night for #LateLateToyShow but I was at the #LeinsterRugby match tonight, so no posts until now.

I’m watching a day late right. But I’m with the #WooGuy on the #LateLateToyShow - I’m wooing too. Good on him. Woooooooo
Looks like #LateLateToyShow has had a boost over on the bird site https://twitter.com/russellcrowe/status/1596290455888855041
#LateLateToyShow posts last night inspired me to put my #ChristmasTreeUp
#LateLateToyShow #christmastreeup
We survived another #LateLateToyShow.
3 adults
5 children
1 hotel
Heaps of sugar
No sleep
What a great night!

I am not saying I feel picked upon or anything, but... I just discovered the first ever #LateLateToyShow was the year after I moved to England 😠
Explaining the #LateLateToyShow is one thing, but another thing completely is to explain the concept of https://rip.ie to people with no connection to Ireland.
The part of our culture around death is alien to many of my UK friends.
The idea that the gov could use scrape from a website of death notices as a rapid data collection tool (before the lag of official notification period elapses) is crazy to them.
Then they hear of death notices on local radio!
Heard a rumor that they're going to show one of the original prints of #goncharov after the next #LateLateToyShow... :D
