    I only hear Shay Healy being related to Che Guevara.

    Joe Duffy, the moron, asked Shay Healy if he was named after Che.

    ffs.

    I hate Joe Duffy.

    Welcommmmme teeeooooo Liiiiiiveliiiiine

    Nuts, I missed it :( They're talking about Che Guevarra now.

    What did they say?

    Edit: never mind, hearing about how Che Guevarra played hurling in Clare for an evening in the 60s is probably more interesting.

    I think 2fm read out comments on the previous day's exams from the leaving cert forum every morning. Maybe its boards first steps towards world domination?

    Between the cheating and Laura Brady, the leaving cert forum has been great value this year. AH lost it's place as the "it" forum for a while there.

    Boards.ie is often mentioned on the radio. The travel forum was mentioned on Ray D'Arcy the other day and Aidan Kennedy mentions it sometimes. Whoop di doo!

    yea, i started a thread in disgust as i heard it on the leaving cert forum.

    This little lass falls ideally into the "How to spot a gobsh!te" thread.

    Cheating in the leaving cert has nothing to do with boards.. so keep us out of it.

    Was only a matter of time till the media started on about it.
    The real issue here is the security that surrounds the Leaving Cert, which is basically nil.

    Someone in a Sunday newspaper a few weeks ago* "wrote" and article about the first few LC exams. The whole thing was quoting and paraphrasing boards.ie, at least the writer admitted it though.

    *Think it was my first weekend back in the country

    Galway First always gets all their information from the Galway forum. They've approached numerous people about interviews over certain things discussed in threads.

    The Galway First has about 3 pages of content. It wouldn't exist without the Galway forum!

    Right with all the talk on the Radio today(Joe Duffy) and in the press in recent weeks about Boards and the LC! Do you think that it has increased peoples knowledge of Boards?! There was a bit of a serge on the site while the piece was on earlier.

    Now I don't want this thread turning into all the others in the LC forum,basically personnal attacks on the guy who must not be named,lol! And Mod's I don't see a reason for this to be moved or locked unless it does turn out like the other threads in fairness!

    So has it helped Boards?!

    Haven't heard the Joe Duffy coverage but Ian Dempsey has been talking about it every morning and think I saw some comments printed in the Indo or maybe it was the Times aswell.

    Well they say any publicity is good publicity, eh?

    Boards has also gotten some press because of the airsoft forum too, I think at this stage it's an Irish institution.

    One of them nice state institutions that don't put you in a straight jacket and padded room.

    I got a pm from a user who works for liveline (Is Jooooeeeeeeeeee Duffy's show livelive?) asking me to ring her about the issue.

    I posted in the original thread so she obviously wanted someone to do some bitching. naturally i completely ignored her
