Are we mean

Thespoofer

Just thinking about the way Irish stations like to imitate foreign developed programs such as Talent Shows, Dragons Den, The Apprentice and so on.

But one program stuck in my mind that they have not seemed to have taken to and thats DIY SOS. Why is this ? Can you envisage the local Irish developer /builder/ tradesperdon giving up a few days for free to help some one out with
only satisfaction as thanks. I mean if
you look at the Brits they really go all out on these projects and all for free.

Are we, as a nation, a bunch of money grabbing mé féiners or have I bring watching the wrong channel ?

So you want Irish developer /builder/ tradesperson to make a TV programme?


How are we mean?
Mens shed groups all over Ireland lend a hand where ever they can and don't look for diddley squat in return.

RTE can call it DIY SÓS to Irish it up.

Cowboy builders would be a much more apt programme for Ireland.
What's the chances of RTE ever having the balls in this corrupt cesspool of a country to run a programme like that ?

The attitude of a whole country is summed up by what TV shows it has or hasn't ripped off?

Its a little more than men sheds, who do great work by the way.

My point is the TV stations like to show an Irish version if quite alot of popular foreign shows. DIY SOS is a great show and very popluar, with so many talented Irish and capable Irish tradespeople, how come this show hasn't taken off here ? ( am Irish version )

Our TV is already over-saturated with a load of crap anyway...
