    I never knew that so many people paid such close attention to what I would consider to be minor details!
    Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail
    we pay a licence fee so we're interested to see where it goes, when that product is badly managed (hence all the mistakes of missed cues and open mics) we have a right as it's funders to complain about it.

    When the sports person (usually Justin Stack) is sitting next to the main presenter (on the Nine O'Clock News), he/she always seems to type something when the news is over.

    Ann Cassin usually has her laptop folded up, and never looks at it.

    Everytime someone suggest that RTE do something on boards, they seem to do it. One guy started a thread on "If you could make any TV show what would it be?". He suggested on where they follow a family trying to live witholut mobiles/tv for a week (a crap idea, I know). About a week later, exactly that was done as a segment on Seoige and O'Shea.

    A few posts back, I mentioned the way laptops usually stcik out from under the over shoulder graphics on weekend bulletins. This Saturday, Anne Doyle's laptop screen was tilted perfectly so that it wouldn't show up on screen!

    RTE ARE DEFINATELY MONITORING THREADS ON BOARDS

    I hereby suggest RTE do a program where their top female presenters are forced to live together in a big house without any modern conveniences. Stuff like clothes, inhibitions etc

    *sits back and waits...*

    The opening sequence is designed so everyone can make sense of it in their own way
    I hate "modern art" - I like stuff to LOOK like stuff :D

    I wholeheartedly support this event and/or product. Can we ship in Lisa from Sky News as the "celebrity guest star"? :p

    Some might say that's the best place for her...

    Sorry Evelyn, you're lovely really

    So is the hastily prepared RTÉ NEWS decal stuck over the dell/IBM logo on the back of the lappies a new thing or what?

    Yep. And for the benefit of anyone that didn't see it, scroll to 1:55.

    And, from last September, John Eagleton with a little too much time to spare - scroll to 1:56.

    They did that 3 years ago for the telethon. They also had to run a radio station called Charity 252. Half of the people from taht show have ended up on The Afternoon Show.
