Moncrieff's Movie & Booze Slot on Good Friday

Shiraz 4.99

I know it's his regular slot every Friday but do you not feel it's a little audacious & provocative to be pushing ahead with it this one weekend of the year.
It really is a slap with a wet fish to any observant Catholic turning the dial that day.
I believe these more elderly members of our society should be allowed see out their latter years without such abuses of their beliefs.

I'd invite you to agree with me on this.

You can stick your invite up your hole, thank you very much.

No because I'm not a delicate little snowflake whose sensibilities crumble when somebody does something I don't like or agree with.

OP will you change your name for good Friday or just refrain from posting on the day?

Dravokivich

It should be down to choice. The Catholics should be allowed to sin. Sure they can repent in any ways with a few Hail Marys and a go of the old How's yer Our Fathers.

There's more drinking goes on on Good Friday than on just about any other day of the year, I'll bet. Especially amongst Catholics.

catallus

Maybe we can have Paulo on twice?

But you're right, OP. It's a horrendous capitulation to the forces of nescience! Down with this sort of thing.

I can see if Leo gets his way I'll be Shiraz 9.00 anyway, probably for the best.

Wonder would he do it if it was against the Islamic faith ??




Not that I personally bothered either way.

But on the bright side Catholics are supposed to eat fish on Good Friday. So I say take the slap on the chin and then lay it on a tray, bit of olive oil and throw in the oven for 15 mins.

Surely they are listening to Rónán and Ray and his sanctimonious claptrap? Or local radio?

I'll see your troll, and raise you all elderly observant Catholics should be bate around the place with pickaxe-handles twice-daily, so they can be sure to have plenty suffering and penance done here on Earth, to improve their chances of Eternal Bliss and possibly even canonisation.

whilst walking up Croagh Patrick barefoot. If they're too old to climb the mountain they can go to Lough Derg

Try a Civilised Jurisdiction, like Uganda. :pac:

People doing non-Catholic things isn't an insult to Catholicism.

Catholics thinking they can force everyone to sit doing nothing waiting for Catholics to have their holiday is disgusting though.

Isn't Good Friday in April this year?

So simple!

But what about Otis?

Otis has to do with the Caananite mythology of Attar. It gets a bit muddy at that point.

You are obviously a learned philosopher! We must speak further of this!

I can't drink then, that's when my abortion is scheduled.

bodice_ripper Is that before or after the same sex wedding ?

Especially if they forgot to stock up the day before

And where does it say in the bible that you can't drink on good friday anyway?

The people who would get upset over that stuff aren't observing anything other than the Intoxicating Liquor Act of 1927... and that was just something we copied from the brits.

So we can pick and choose which laws we obey now?

Ireland is unique among Common Law jurisdictions insofar as the law is a temporary class of a thing to keep things from falling apart until the loodramawns get their act together.

That law just covers the sale of alcohol in certain places. How would they be breaking it by having a Movies & Booze segment on the show?

But to answer your question, yes... we can pick and choose which laws to obey. I've already broken a few myself today.

This is Ireland, you haven't committed an offense unless you're caught.

Have you ever been to the Continent? You'll notice the same, shall we say, Heisenbergian view of the law there, particularly in France and Spain.

Hahaha! I know there are all sorts of irrational rules about what Catholics cannot do and use, but I didn't realise that the use remote controls and appliance power buttons were among them!

He still narrates The Restaurant on TV3 and hosted a gameshow there for a while which was diabolical

He's great on Newstalk.. makes what would be otherwise boring interviews fun to listen to and has a lot of decent guests on.

Most of them are still stuck with that tribal nonsense, talk to any bloke from Uganda and steer the conversation to football and you'll find out that nearly every last one is a Man Utd. supporter :eek:

Stop living in the past, man.

Anyways, I've been thinking about this and I really think the movies and booze slot could be spiced up a bit with some sort of phone in where people could ask questions? I know they read out the texts and twitter messages, but maybe if they had a phone-in kind of thing it would be more entertaining.

It's a slot on a radio show that people don't have to listen to if they are going to be offended.
