He's an awful nice fella but this is the TV equivalent of sitting on a bus beside some OAP who's gonna carry on talking whether you like it or not.

You sadster

Wow, some really truly awful people in here! I think if any one of you actually listened to the interview instead of trying your hardest to think of "witty" retorts to each other, you may actually realise he's on the show to raise awareness! Of course he's going to talk about himself - that's the point, explain how it affects someone with the disease!

I'd like to see any of you cope as well as he is right now!

Well said. Sense among all the assh0les oh here trying to be funny. Nothin but lonsesome creeps on their own with nothing better to do or no one to talk to on a Friday night.

Well done to Colm Murray. Just watched it on i-player.

Mods should be taken action against the sick clowns who were on here mocking him.

I know it must be dispiriting but really, take no notice of them. Any woman who seriously suggests a man who doesn't drink is not to be trusted is an idiot. A sheep who can't think for herself and just goes along with what she believes is the only way of socialising in this country i.e. getting pissed with her mates down the pub.
They're the ones with the problem, not you.

And would you really want to be with someone who is so narrow-minded and has such limited horizons?
Think of it as a good way of filtering out the brain dead and that it'll saves you time and maybe heartache in the long run if you tell them you don't drink straight off

I drink (in moderation, I don't binge) but I would never dream of thinking badly or turn down a guy who chats me up just because he told me he doesn't drink.
That's just moronic.

i just don't see why it should be an issue in the first place. anyway ... waaaaay off topic!!

That Paul Galvin is an awful eejit.

And a complete waffler and spoofer.
"do you like French designers". I do yeah (no other information)
"do you want to get into fashion design or fashion buying". I don't know. There's a course I might do.

As Bill Cullen would say; you're a spewfer.

He likes "the fashion"!!!

I like Colm Murray but god almighty what is this endless monologue doing on TV.

My God there are some fairly stupid and ignorant comments on this thread and I hope to God none of the people who have made light of it have to see someone close suffer from it. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I Sky +'d the Late Late Show especially to watch this interview today. My father was diagnosed last year and it's breaking our hearts to watch his deterioration. My father was just like Colm, loved his golf and was enjoying life. That's all gone now. Colm's story was engrossing for me - I saw what my Dad will never tell me from Colm's perspective - the fear and despair. You could see the sadness in his eye's when he told how he broke the news to his daughters, just the same way my father did. Colm seems to have a powerful strength of mind and I truly wish him, his wife and his daughters all the very, very best. It's a horrible, rotten disease.

By the way, there's no such thing as being "bumped up" on a hospital list with this disease. There's no cure, life expectancy seems to be between 2 - 5 years after diagnosis at best. Please God.

So, all those looking for lightheartedness got the Rubber Bandits, and then people like my father and other sufferers got to relate to Colm Murray's story. That's the beauty of the Late Late Show. Everybody wins, don't they?

I quoted three of a countless number and all 939 were not related to Colm Murray.

Had a look at the thread on the Sat night show just now, same greasy sad loners sitting with one hand on their laptops trying to be funny with the other hand God knows where reading some of the posts about Amanda |Brunker and the girl from Crystal Swing. Have they no life. Fri and Sat night the week before Christmas with nothing better to do.

Sad muppets!

ah feck ya. i posted in both of the threads. but then i was out both nights. some people just like to head out later than others i suppose. posting about a tv show doesn't mean we all have no lives!

You seem obsessed with castigating every single person on this thread because of a few unacceptable comments by a small minority of posters. Please stop tarring everyone with the same brush. The majority of posters on the thread were positive of colm. Please desist going on about the minority...

I wouldnt worry about this particular poster too much amdublin, its only an RTE troll...

Aha, didnt take long for the predictible, "the country is in shyte and Joe is talking about this".

Does he have to do the economic misery every single day? Only to be belittled by you when he does.

I totally disagree. On Friday, the news at one went way over the top with this tabloid story. Then it was first item on drivetime.

I think Marion Finucane show is above that sort of tabloid coverage. They referred to it and moved on, the same way they would have done had it been anyone else. Its purient journalism at its worst, the indo giving so many pages to it yesterday was a joke and todays papers are just repeating everything we heard on Friday and read Saturday.

I think you are using this as yet another stick to beat your number one pet hate, RTE.

Hoping for that promotion out in Montrose by licking your bosses' collective asses on some stupid website? Good luck with that troll...

BTW, check all his previous posts, its painfully obvious. :rolleyes:

Telekon thank you for taking the time to do that
