9 posts held, back to 22 December 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 9 posts for this entry, the most recent from 31 December 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
15 reactions across 6 posts, in 5 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 46.7% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 6 of the 9 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 15 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 9 most recent posts we hold, published 22 December 2025 to 31 December 2025, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
THE CAT You've heard of Burns' dogs I'm sure, And of their great debate. About the rich and poor. And I'm sure you know of the good land Coil, Where on the hill they stood. But now I will tell you, Of a greater tale there is, Not of a dog's debate, But of a Cat's one still. A Manx with their stubby tail, And a wild cat of the hills, Met within the glens of Galloway, And when within each others sight. A great roa…

THE POET I stumbled on a poet, Who claims to have some fame. Many men have read my work, No recognition I had of he. A thousand men have recited lines, That I wrote long ago. But now indeed I realise, Not one did read the rest. So I say to ye and to them and he, Curse ye of that Isle. Curse the sons of Sardus, Who would read a single line. My other work is just as good, Or so is said to me, But not a one would re…

SPIRIT SACRIFICED I stare outside, At the green grass of my home, To the west I see the mountains tall, Where the silver-armed doth dwell, Where still the mountain men do sing, Of warrior and of high king, Where I once dwelt when yet a child, And learnt of song and story wild, Of mannish hound and mighty lord, Of shining light and golden hoard. I weep a while, At the loss, Of a spirit old and green, A lady proud, o…

NOBILITY I remember as a child, when my Grandfather began, to tell me of our ancient days, as chief and vassal clans. He said there was a hundred, and fifty more besides, each of them a ri, a king. And their kin royal aside. If your name begins with Mc or O, A crown is yours to claim. And though the foreigners do not know, you are noble still. We are the sons of Scotia, of Mil and Breogan too. Kings and chiefs ma…

SARDINIA They say there is an island, In the middle sea. They say it's green and lovely there, And that the water's clean. And if you ask but one of them, of where their race was spawned They would tell you of Hercules, and of Sardus his child. Some would say Atlantis, But they are famous fools, for all men know it's not there But on the Emerald Isle.

THE GAEL Born to ancient race, of poet and kingly stature. Unfit for modern labour. No hardship of the body, Is worth to mar the soul. My hands fit for pen and spear, not for hoe and spade. I am of the race of Mil, of Diarmuid and of Emer. Ancient chiefs and druid priests, not for for modern labour. Now the hillforts are gone, the glens go slowly empty. And the knowledge of our fathers names, are lost to newborn …

THOMOND Reared on rolling hill, Where my father trod before. And where my sires banner flew, in the cold December winds. Where men remember the old names, of Brian and Murchad too. And where the fighting spirit, of the sons of Mil never once did fail. Few are the old woodlands, And fewer still the bogs, but enough remain that men remember, what once the land was like. And of the men I must now speak, of farmer a…

Showing the 9 most recent of 9 posts we hold for @ferguspoem. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 18 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
