    I switched off as soon as Pat told Jimmy Connors he was Irish.

    Not like Pat to engage in that kind of shíte.

    Turned on Taoiseach's Questions on RTÉ 1 for a look. Its awful stuff. Why can't Irish politicians debate without relying on a script.

    They're all there with their heads down reading notes held in one hand and the other hand in the pocket.

    They'd be laughed out of Westminster for an inability to speak off the cuff and think for themselves.

    thanks for that man.

    the dail may be shyte but i honestly cant figure out WTF pat kenny was smoking when he thought this interview was worth doing.

    been bored out of my mind for what feels like the last 20 min or so.

    who is it actually aimed at ?

    Nope.

    Pat indicated that the reason the encounters between Connors and McEnroe were so intense was because they were both Irish.

    Awful rubbish of the kind Bibi Baskin used to sprout and it was always going to be difficult to take the interview seriously after that.

    Heard that and switched off. Embarrassing fighting Irish nonsense.

    There wouldn't be many men that could, I'd warrant. I only tuned in in the middle of it, I wasn't sure who it was until towards the end. What I heard wasn't bad, the cringeworthy stuff must have been earlier. I'd listen to that again rather than the strained "banter" between him and Des Cahill any day of the week.

    Oh, here we go. A couple of creches mistreat kids, so lets guilt women into staying at home to mind their kids.

    Dublin is fast gaining a reputation among tourists for agressive beggars in the same way that Barcelona has for pickpockets.

    Its sad.

    Did PK actually say that? An uncharacteristic malaprop. It's normally something you'd hear a salt-a-de-eartttt Duballin ewe-nyon rep come out with.

    Pat was quoting Enda Kenny who spoke in the Dail about Marie Fleming. The Taoiseach began his statement by saying ...
    "By any standards this is an extraordinary case involving an extraordinary woman. If the House were asked to find words to describe adequately the impeccable courage, dignity and compassion of Ms Fleming, it would probably be rendered mute".

    I must say I don't see a problem with that.

    Written by Enda's spin machine. I doubt he gives a fauck about her.

    Obvious solution to creche / abortion - neuter everyone.

    Gardai discretion easily solved by banning politicians. I was going to type ban politicians from driving, but on reflection - just ban them full stop.

    Here we go again - eulogising Shatter. Who apart from these media gob****es thinks Shatter is a wonderful Minister - I don't know anybody in the real world with a good word for him. He's an arrogant SOB and you only have to look at the mess his relations with the Gardai are in to see what a train wreck he is.

    Not a lot really. She said who the house was bought for and why. I think the real issue was the fact that details from what was thought to be from a private conversation ended up on the national airwaves.

    Schadenfreude I know, but there's something pleasing about that windbag finally going too far and exposing herself as the nosy gossip she sounds like....

    If one is going to be a grammar nazi/pedant (like me), one had better get it right. "Rendered mute" is perfectly fine; a "damp squid" is hardly surprising as they live in water. You mean a damp squib, I.e. a damp explosive or firework, something that fails to go off or explode.

    In French, pedants are enculeurs des mouches - those who **** flies!

    whooooooooooooooosh!

    Pat Kenny meant the point was rendered moot not mute! So I snuck in my now standard IT Crowd joke when Roy takes the stand in the Reynholm vs Reynholm case (its on youtube if you haven't seen it)
