    Is this the best RTE can do besides Miriam, Sean and Jennifer.
    Pat Short - looking as thick as ever and trying to ride a christmas tree, big gobeen that he is.
    Donal Skehan - long way to go before you are a michelin star chef.
    David O Sullivan & Aoibheann McCaul - Fair Citys finest actors not worth typing anymore about these two.:rolleyes:
    Damo - Dung.

    It's the cover page of a magazine dedicated to showing what is on the telly over the Christmas.

    What did you expect? A recently released piece by Jonathan Swift as an editorial, with a front page showing the corpse of W.B Yeats smoking a pipe? An introspective on the later works of Flann O'Brien, and how it doesn't sit well with the concepts of a public service broadcaster?

    Tone down the faux-outrage for Christmas, horse. Have a mince pie.

    Jennifer & Aoibheann are absolute hotties. Sorry dude, didn't get past the cover. Distracted by the hotness of those two.

    Might have to get the cover laminated..... :D

    Miriam and Pat Shortt seem to be on it every single year. Seems a bit lazy alright. But then they're popular so I can understand the logic behind it.

    Pat Shortt is about as popular as a being a 13mm spanner to work on a japanese vehicle.

    Poor analogy, weak original post. I'm rating this thread 3/10.

    There is probably a section within RTE that has a Head of Department, Deputy Head and about 15 staff all for this once a year waste of paper.

    Only 8 staff actually. They outsourced another 5 jobs to India. They check to see that the listings are accurate.
