I really like Keelin Shanley as a presenter, I must say.

Can't say I fancy that film.... 3.5, nearly four hours by your man's own admission :eek:

Paddy O Gormless on now though, I'm off.

If you actually look at the list of professional board sitters who run this country it is actually a far smaller list of names than list of positions.

For sure the golden circle is alive and well - you won't get those snouts out of the trough easily

Shocking performance from hisself, I thought. Clearly thought he was presenting some sort of iron-clad rebuttal, but essentially all he had to offer was that he wasn't a FF Golden Circler, he was a FG Golden Circler, and that it wasn't a "top up" if he repeatedly asserted it wasn't a "top up". Clearly while people in the HSE had to take pay cuts, and people in the private sector might do too, it's utterly inconceivable that people in the quasi-public, quasi-private, quasi-charitable sector do so. Well, thanks Des. Game, set and match to him -- in his own mind.

Gerry "Albert you'll bust up the party " COllins desperately trying to protect his ' legacy ' whatever that was in the first place , sad man !

Wasting all this time investigating one bag egg in a Garda station. If they want to investigate proper collusion why dont they reopen the case of the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan Bombings, where an organised team of British public servants killed innocent children on our streets.. You wont hear Donaldson on when they are discussing that.

CountyHurler

"all the property passes to me"..

He might not be so smug when he gets his local property tax bill for next year.

CountyHurler

So Brendan, have you taken the gun away from the head of the old person sitting at the electric heater? The State needs to change legislation to prevent the ESB from striking. They are very well taken care of by their employers, if they dont like it they should try get a job in the real world..

Jasus but Ogle is s spiteful little man. Even with a resolution of the dispute he can't say a positive thing about any other human being.

CountyHurler

Is he reading this out?

CountyHurler

Eamonn is also teaching a class in how to laugh at your Eastern European opponent as you pass him on the final turn..

If my company was treating the workers badly then Ogle is just the man i'd want in my corner in fairness.
No pussy-footing around the issue with him.

Dear God! Having to explain what a SLR is, we are truly in the age of stupid.

He never seems to be conflicted about whose side he's on ... probably the only senior trade unionist with any credibility. I'd far rather have him on my side in a negotiation than across the table from me

Sad, really. Shure everyone knows its a Self-loading Rifle!

Very interesting interview on US politics now on to ............. MLOD - I'm gone, can't take exhaustive gushing so early in the day.

Liked the bit when the fella being interviewed (who was it, BTW?) asked his 80-something year old mother what she thought about the Bill Clinton sexual scandal. She read all the reports in detail and her conclusion?

"Men are dogs"!

"What is going on in the Ukraine? No outsider knows the country better than..... Pat Cox".


WTF??? Did his breakfast jar of caviar come from there or something?

constitutionus

pat cox !

well jaysus expect balance there then from Mr EU.

Callan57

Rather odd that Seán gave no outline or indication of in what capacity Pat Cox was attending all these millions of meetings in Ukraine. Why was he there?

constitutionus

Speaking of corruption.....

Callan57

Item finished with still no explaination of what capacity or position Pat Cox held when attending meetings in Ukraine?
Surely it wasn't purely on the basis of his Monumental ego he was there :rolleyes:

Santa is going to spend €185 per child this year........that's a load off my mind. It means I will have to spend zilch.

Well to be fair they do have to be careful as little ears are listening. I still remember the backtracking Matt Cooper had to do one day when he did a segment on how global warming meant the North Pole would be ice free within a few years and it would be nothing but open ocean. Then he started getting furious texts from parents with upset children worried that Santa's workshop was going to sink.

Now all I can think of is some mischievous producer doing a spoof " santy killed in environmental catastrophe" breaking news broadcast ala orson welles infamous war of the worlds stunt . Replete with on the scene reporter

" oh oh no . They've just pulled out ruldophs body ! "

Ya can just imagine the fallout !

He did manage to enlighten me somewhat on the situation in Ukraine.

I don't care what he has for breakfast so long as he isn't nicking mine.

The farmer looking forward to a punch-up after a feed of porter. I think Paddy might have stumbled onto the set of The Quiet Man.

spank_inferno

Anyone hearing Sean's microphone is on while they are on a news break!

Amateur hour again at the state broadcaster.

IvyTheTerrible

Oooh I can hear Sean over the news, laughing about narcolepsy and saying the Victory Project put a curse on him! Scandal!

Callan57

Strange things going on on the sound desk this morning ... wouldn't know what you'd hear

I'm going to keep my ears open cos if there are any tidbits you can be sure they won't get onto the podcast!

Ah yes .... more of the culture of entitlement from the Uni prof.
OK to cut pay to low and middle income people but you can't possibly touch ME :mad:

And the people who are actually doing most of the lectures and research get paid peanuts and exist on year-long contracts.

How long was that bishop or whatever he is given?
I left but everytime I checked back he was still rabbeting on his nonsense ....... :mad:

Mary thinks 35k a year is a low wage. I suppose she's probably comparing it with her university lectureship salary.

Callan57

OMG it's MLOD .... that's me gone.

Harry Angstrom

Whenever I hear her, I just think of all those saps who voted to retain the Seanad. Hope they're very proud of themselves.

Harry Angstrom

Jaysus, she's putting on a feckin Welsh accent :eek:
Dylan Thomas must be spinning in his grave :rolleyes:

Congratulations for keeping people like Marie Louise O'Donnell, Eamon Coughlan, Fidelma Healy Eames and Ronan Mullen on the State payroll.

What a load of old outdated s*** that was.
MLOD is only good if you suffer from constipation.
When will RTE One move into the present age?
They seem to cater only for the over 70's.
Pure rubbish.

Caviar at half price in south dublin. The recesion has finally hit

Sean O'Rourke is fawning over her just as much as PK used to do. I thought S O'R had a bit more sense.
