    Do RTE have any sort of means of nurturing talent through the radio like BBC Radio 4 does in England?

    I was thinking one of those new digital stations might be sorta like that perhaps?
    I can just imagine some of the horror that they would have. Better to just send our talent to England and then have them return to do a show.

    Well aren't you a lovely pleasant being.
    I only wanted to know what you meant. It made no sense to me. Why would he not call it Irish if it was Irish in every sense?

    Because I obviously mean British and most people would have just seen that, realised what I meant and moved on.

    If it was funded by an Irish organisation but featured Irish everything else then you would not call it an Irish program.

    Nope, it was too confusing for my mushy little brain, so I read it out to an extremely clever Professor of confusing things, and he reckons you're talking bollocks and all. He says you probably made a mistake and might want to edit it.

    We used to. But even now when RTE is far, far more receptive to interesting and new comedy ideas, the fact remains that the best talent will enevitably use it as a springboard to the UK and its land of money hats, no matter how nice RTE is to them.

    1. It was explained earlier, simple slip that a person with average intelligence would notice, correct in their mind and not get confused. Well done on failing that task.

    2. No you can't. Show me some evidence of it being released on DVD.

    Climate Expert is trying his hardest to live up to his recent prestigious award. His antagonistic attitude is pushing alot of peoples buttons. Rein it in, or you'll be taking a break from TV.

    Because people there have taste in TV which was my point. The serieshad no demand for it except for oddballs like myself. I've been looking for Baywatch Nights for years but unless I source rip or a copy of the VHS then its lost to me forever.

    Tsk. You're such the goalpost mover. You just said no one could buy it on dvd, and to prove you wrong if anyone could. You didn't specify any conditions.

    Anyway, here. Try this.

    They did (on-screen) put me in mind of the swarms of Rugby oafs and Stepford Trophy girlfriends that I was unfortunate enough to have to regularly deal with in the Stillorgan / Foxrock area recently.

    Maybe that's the problem with it, so - that if you weren't from there you just viewed it as unbelieveably irritating and missed most the "parody" angle completely ?

    Mind you, I still can't understand that - why would you want to watch TV to be irritated by the type of people that you'd obviously avoid in any other circumstance.

    I've the same issues any time I see Ms Bouquet from that TV show; she'd annoy me ANYWHERE - on TV or in the pub or wherever, so I've better things to do than watch it.

    Watched 5 mins of 2 or 3 shows, and in all cases I found it pathetic, irritating and unfunny.
