    Like when Larry Gogan always gets the names of bands and songs wrong?
    "that was Eddie Presley there with Green Leather Boots"

    I fail to see how a phone line dropping out is a technical screw up. The term screw up implies, to me at least, operator error. I've had plenty of phone lines drop on me when I'm making calls. I simply ring back.

    Mentioned that the guy was a Boardsie on air during News at One, but the RTE site decides not to bother, instead it's...

    "...A Dublin-based consumer posted comments and photos on a web site :P on Wednesday saying his Galaxy phone exploded while mounted on his car dashboard....."

    The various intros & Lyons Tea spots for liveline were played 4 or 5 times at the top of today's show. It was like the Lavhlahn had tourettes.

    Maybe Joe was late rushing in from the canteen and the researchers were covering his ass...

    I loved the way they called it a "technical" problem. Yeah, somebody put in the wrong tape (or whatever they use these days!) :D

    Stating the obvious here really, but does continually renewing contracts of insanely over-paid presenters with mediocre presenting skills, an abscence of personality and/or any other observable talent count as a snafu?:rolleyes:

    I assume Des Cahill just had to tie his shoe-laces or something at the 8:35 sport slot.

    I can't imagine why else he would move his head away from the mike, for about 10 seconds while continuing to read his script.

    I thought it was just a mic packing up randomly with a different mic picking him up faintly.
    Does the sport be done from the same studio?
