The Pat Kenny Show Thread

touts

I tuned out there for a few minutes. Did Pat have to shoot her or did she just collapse from not stopping to take a breath?

Is she gone?

Hopefully....if only for today:(

Decided to Google MLOD given the torture she put us through following her visit to Google Tower.

found this....sometimes it can be so inaccurate

mlod is an acronym that stands for "mega lol of doom", and sometimes "mega laugh of doom"
it is used as an alternative to saying rofl, roflmao or other similar text based displays of amusement :rolleyes:

Maria Muldaur - 40 albums and most of us only know her for one song. Although it's still a bit of a step up from most of his musical guests. I wouldn't be surprised if half of them were buskers who've been dragged in from the street.

i wish pat would just come out and say he wishes he was a pimp in another life as his taste in music seems to imply it.

Jasus! Maybe I should write a cookbook and then I'd be able to afford the "guilt free" ingredients those two were promoting.

I was hoping Pat would be there today to explain to me how the AIB go from losses of 8.01 billion to 2.8 billion in 12 months (65% decrease!) & in the current economic environment!

Am I thick or is this arrant nonsense .. or just more creative accounting?

I didn't hear the segment but I'm guessing they had fewer losses to crystallise (fancy accountant speak for realise (bring forward) to now) this year, relative to the shedload of losses last year. All they've done is managed to perform less badly than last year, whoop-de-dooo :rolleyes:

It wasn't mentioned at all ..... that was my point. Regardless of the fancy accounting I don't believe these figures for one minute. IMO it just goes to prove what I've always believed that these corportate reports are works of simple fiction. Rather like saying Our Lord on Good Friday was in the best of health .... as long as you overlook the small matter of crucifiction

It's the division bell in Leinster House, they have five minutes (or something like that) to get their asses into the chamber for a vote. Comes with the job, you won't be getting rid of that any time soon I'm afraid!

It's the bell to force the TDs and Senators out of the Dail Bar/Resturant and into the chamber to vote. The drink is cheap and the food very good so it has to be as annoying as possible to get them up off their arses and vote to shut it up.

"What the Minister said was actually disrespectful to his wife".

I've heard some stupid things said by the guards over the last few days but that surely tops them all.

Technocentral

That Toyota ad with the obnoxious "Amercan" ahole does my head in, Irish advertising is really the lowest of the low if thats the best that the idiots can come up with.

Technocentral

Irish people are sick of FG and Labour lackies mishandling the economy and keeping us in recession as anyone who listens to the Irish media and to the man in the street knows, its time for radical change, if the Meath by election is anything to go by its FG and FF they want now :rolleyes:.

It was disrespectful. He has dragged his wife into the battle he is having with the Gardai. It was a major assertion on his behalf. Next thing he'll be saying he fears for the safety of his children everytime a garda car drives past his house. The man has lost utter control of his brief and needs to be replaced ASAP.

The bigger story surely is that people are still voting for people who they claimed they never, ever, ever would again 2 years ago because they had destroyed their livelihoods (FF) or who are apparently bankrupting them now with property, water and septic tank 'taxes" (FG), Irish people's idiocy knows no bounds.

constitutionus

na anyone with a brain knew FF would be back.

sure they said the same thing about FG back in 02.

the only surprise to me is that its so close with the FGer as sympathy vote there was a cert.

but the DDI bloke is amazing.

no one going into this thought the lab lad would be in 5th , they all thought it'd be a bitch fight between them and SF for third.

i'd say maybe the media s embarrssed once again that their shown up to be out of touch but i dont think they do shame

That guy reporting on the Munster rugby schools story has an uncanny resemblance to paddy o'gormans voice any relation?

Spudmonkey

Sounds like some guys are really getting good chances with the rugby setup in Munchins.

Now honestly, how many people, apart from a minority of cretins are giving their kids unlimited, unsupervised access to their credit cards, if they are they deserve a short, sharp shock like "granddad" there :rolleyes:

Probably the same people who, in the good times, sent their kids into the local post office to collect their money on Children's Allowance Day.

RoundyMooney

It's not the cards directly, it's an insidious means of charging, via the app store or market, in game-and without the words "payment" or "charge" used at any stage.

Anyone with suspect IT skills (i.e. all these "new to the internet" people) could have been caught.

You can disable in-app purchases on iOS at least, I'd imagine Android has something similar.

Did Myles just announce it's one minute past twelve about eight minutes too early?

Also probably the same people who shout and scream about FF and FG destroying their lives and who then go out and vote for them like in the next election like zombies!

My number twos go down the toilet. A bit like Labour.
