This isn't very clever from Billy Keane... People will not feel welcome coming in to his pub... Does he not want people calling to the place...

He's a miserable ould oddball. If I ever find myself in Listowel, I'll keep well away from his pub.

The grumpy swine. Public bar> public toilets. If he feels that bad why doesn't he charge for the water and not answer questions. BTW I didn't hear him,just goin on CH's post

As a Listowel native myself, I can assure ye were not all like him down here.

He's living off he's fathers name all he's life. Let him change the name of the pub if he's sick of tourists going in taking pictures. And we would soon see how long the bar would stay open.

And if you ever do meet billy personally, ask him why he suddenly quit being a solicitor?

Paul Harrington's new song, "I Love You More Than Me".....

Must have been written by an incurable narcissist.

Harry Angstrom · 28-08-2014 3:23pm

This one's false modesty is nauseating. Apparently she doesn't like performing in front of people, but she's singing on The Mooney Show and she's just acted in a film :rolleyes:

Harry Angstrom · 02-09-2014 3:22pm

"Gym intimidation" - a first world problem.

constitutionus · 02-09-2014 3:25pm

do ya remember the ol day when ya just got over it ?

no now ya need some spa to draft rules about how other people feel.

no wonder the planets going to hell in a handbasket.

IvyTheTerrible · 02-09-2014 3:32pm

So you feel bad about how you look in the gym; and it's the fault of the person who worked hard and looks good? What a load of BS.
FFS, I worked hard to lose weight precisely so I can wear nice clothes and look and feel better. I'm not going around in sack cloth to make other people feel better about themselves.

CountyHurler · 02-09-2014 3:47pm

Emily O'Reilly at "ha past five"
DriveTime at "ha past four"...

Presumably elocution lessons at "ha past six"?

CountyHurler · 02-09-2014 3:49pm

Why does Richard Collins speak like every sentence like a weather man..

Mary63 · 02-09-2014 3:54pm

Derek Mooney and shouty Brenda are an appalling combination,how much more time are we to be subjected to them.

I switch off the radio the minute they come on,there is nothing informative,or entertaining about the drivel they spout so why is my licence fee paying their salary.

Bellerstring · 03-09-2014 3:25pm

Who thought it would be a good idea to put on an African wildlife show................. ON THE RADIO?
David Attenborough must be quaking in his boots.

Maybe it's a money saving drive, they can pretend they went to Africa, you just have Richard doing the lion noises.

Have Richard interview a lion

Richard: I was reading in your book that as a lion and now correct me if I am wrong that in the Serengeti lions actually have a habit of eating from the remains of dead tigers, but I put it to you that lions and tigers don't actually meet in any part of the world, but it is an interesting insight into the world of a lion wouldn't you say or is it that you just prefer to ramble around Africa and India as I do on Mooney every Friday, I could go for months just how one might say yabbering on for no apparent reason other than the sound of my own voice, would you say I could live with the lions in the way that you have lived with lions your whole life, you know I lived in some place in Ireland a few years back and the local cat told me he was related to a Lion in Africa and that the only reason he was so tiny was due to the Irish diet of Wiskas, do you think he is right, I wouldn't say you do from read your book because on page 199 you say RAAAAAARAAAA RAAAARAAA you must really dislike the RA because your very passionate about this topic in your book though its the only bit of politics you get into nothing about the British and how they hunted your ancestors down to put in Zoos and Museums, for that matter would you consider yourself for the role of the MGM Lion, I would say from reading your book from cover to cover and studying it for months on end that you would, your a bit of a leo the lion wouldn't you say, I know you'd say it.....

Lion: Actually Richard, I didn't write that book, it was my colleague Elephant that carried out that research.

Actually, what's Mooney doin in Africa anyway?
I demand a return to getting people to sing in showers, talking about his tits, saying "faaaaantastic" and interviewing cheesy ex-national song contest hopefuls!

JONJO THE MISER · 03-09-2014 4:33pm

What a you know what that radio presenter from Ireland but living in SA for 28 years.
He tells Derek he doesnt consider himself Irish, what a traitor, he was born here and lived here that makes him Irish.
And he came over to play rugby when the boycott was on, yeah he is a great man to be talking to other people what is right and wrong in his talk show in SA.

Richard: Yes but in essence he was just researched the book, you couldn't tell me that an Elephant with limited lionese/English could write a book without a translator and from reading chapter Roar Lion Roar you point to your fluency in Elephantian indeed your even quite good and Elephantiside, is not true you ate the Elephant once the book was finished? I know you did because of the slopping writing towards the end of the book, which you put down to a nervous Antelope.

Again, can anybody tell me why Mooney is in Africa?
You'd never hear Joe Duffy broadcasting from Cape Town.
He might get to the Red Cow Hotel now and again on a Funny Friday.
This shyte seems totally unnecessary and a waste of money:mad:

Its a lot bloody better than a week of singing in the bloody shower.

And id say it cost them nothing, sounds like the south African tourist board were sponsoring it!

I thought the same thing.

He could have sat in Montrose and read most of today's program from wikipedia.

About half of domestic OBs and probably 100% of all foreign OBs (with the exception of sports and 'national events' e.g. Eurovision) are only done if there's actually a profit margin for the station. Sponsors both pay for the OB and cover the costs involved.

So, if I understand this correctly, if we sent Mooney and entourage, out on the road everyday, preferably on international trips, not only would the radio station not lose money as I suggested, but it would actually turn a profit???
Singin in the shower from Seychelles, Mooney's Money from Marrakesh, Mooney's Monday Quiz from Myanmar, Mooney goes Wild in Wellington, Mooney's Tunes from Tunisia......
:cool:

Only via funding advertisers really. It won't have cost RTE anything

constitutionus · 05-09-2014 6:54pm

hang on.

so theres no actual real reason why he's in SA ?

I thought i just missed something during the week. TBH i found the whole thing utterly tedious. less lions, more tits and showers please !

snubbleste · 06-09-2014 11:28am

It's clearly sponsored by the SA tourist board. You have to wonder though, did Mooney put the idea to them or vice versa..

Also, when putting on his wetsuit to go into the water, Mooney stated: "I hate latex"

MJ23 · 06-09-2014 3:14pm

How the plug hasn't been pulled yet on this show, I do not know.
Awful.

honeybear · 10-09-2014 10:01pm

I caught a bit of this show on way home from work. I think that Derek was on a bit of a doss, as he kept playing music.

Happyman42 · 11-09-2014 4:12pm

Mooney has set his sights on demolishing Beckett's reputation! Panic everyone!

Coming from a man who thinks the Eurovision is the cultural highlight of the year, I think the literary world needn't worry.

ill be honest my problems with Irish films is in the main there fecking depressing dirgefests.

even the fecking commitments is set against a period of recession that'd make ya want to slit your wrists.

why the hell is it so dificult to make one thats a bit of fun?

Robert2012 · 16-09-2014 4:10pm

A 50 minute long discussion about the Wizard of Oz, involving at least 2 openly Gay commentators, and absolutely no mention whatsoever about the movies' place in Gay culture. The item also randomly finished by playing "Am I losing my mind" , by the Pet Shop Boys and Liza Minnelli (2 more gay icons)

I wish this programme would come out of the closet and openly acknowledge that it's target audience is the Gay community, rather than insidiously trying to "sneak" topics past the listenership.

It's time the Mooney Show grew up and stopped being disingenuous. It snickers behind it's hand like a 12 year old schoolboy.
