Putting a boost behind Shirley. Would be nice to have a proper discussion about it if it makes the six.

sinead_murphy · 30 Oct 2026, 19:10 UTC

Sinead, i have added a boost too. Would be interesting to see how it sits beside the other choices.

Shirley is one I am weighing up. I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.

Eoin, i am following this thread for exactly that reason. Happy to hear a few different opinions.

For anyone considering Shirley: This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.
