Man climbs mast at RTÉ

Lapin · 2011-03-23 00:06:42

Just heard this on the news. He has the hump with Ryanair apparently, so he climbs up a TV transmitter. As you do. :rolleyes: Bet its the same twit that jumped in front of Ruby Walsh's horse last week. :mad:

Some lunatic has climbed up the mast at RTE. 3 fire engines and a rake of cop cars outside, but he doesn't look like he wants to come down!

Yep. Did his time for crashing the car into RTE reception, but was found dead in the liffey soon after release. Sad really.

He started losing the grip as his business declined, apparently, and developed the delusion he had invented a way to prevent traffic accidents. His gripe against Kenny was because he believed Kenny (by not having him on the radio) was preventing him saving lives.

I remember it, because it was one of those cases where you wonder why the person wasn't sent to a secure hospital rather than prison.

I was just thinking about how bored I was,

to hear a guy climbing the RTE mast?

That man is far, far more bored than I am. Well done, sir.

If I wasn't in work tomorrow I would be out there with a bag of cans in one for some nights entertainment

Once he doesn't interfer with my TV channels I don't mind if he's up there for the week. Wonder what he will do when he needs to go for a slash.

If he doesn't come down and makes it up to where the dishes are, he'll be cooked by microwaves and fall off. Unless they turn those off of course, then everyone not on Sky or NTL loses RTÉ for a few hours.
