Step away from the LiveLine. No good will come of it.

It's a bloody addiction, you get great short term entertainment like now but ultimately yo know it's no good for your health. It's either that or listening to the DBAs conference calls, not sure which is worse.


edit. asking if he had a high vis jacket on, this guy who is a "professional driver" is implying that if you had one you'll be ok.

Liveline is fun until they start discussing something you know something about.

Radio moment of the week

Joe Duffy is something of a master when it comes to wringing maximum emotional impact from his callers’ experiences. But Monday’s Liveline (RTÉ Radio 1, weekdays) featured a rare instance of Duffy overplaying his hand. Speaking to Kieran, an unemployed security guard whose offer to work for free had been turned down, the presenter sought to play up the human drama, asking Kieran if he had any family. A wife and two children came the answer, prompting Duffy to sigh for nearly 10 seconds in sympathy and, unfortunately, inaudibility. Kieran’s nonplussed response somewhat ruined the poignancy of the moment. “Hello?”

You should read some of the regional forums here, you'd swear some parts of the country are like south central. I'm afraid to leave my home incase some culchie* with attitude decides to pop a cap in my ass.


*I am a culchie therefore I am allowed to use this term, you lot up in the big smoke cannot.

Did anyone else think that "cyclist" and truck driver, Donal Harrington of Mayo, who claims to do 20,000km a year on his bicycle was pretty clueless about cycling?

I have an allergic reaction to Liveline, which mainly manifests itself in me turning the radio off as soon as I hear Duffy's voice.

On a side note, great drying weather out.

Wait until after the devaluation - makes no financial sense to go back beforehand.

It's the barrier to entry for your industry. Be glad of it. Otherwise aný old clown could do your job. Well that's what I tell myself about my job.

You can't beat cycling (or indeed running) around the kitchen. My wife gets annoyed when I refer to the island unit as 'the infield'.
