Gold Star to everyone who kept going tonight. The site was close to unusable

If anyone from Boards is reading, could you sort it out please.?

Boards better not play up tomorrow night for your show...especially when you're interviewing Les Battersby

I think this is the kind of discussion that the Late Late is good for. Much better than vapid interviews with Z-list celebs, and talking about an important issue in many parts of Ireland. Seems some posters just want to give their sarcastic commentary regardless.

You are obviously new to this thread

Good Evening Folks,

I've spent the last couple of hours trying to access the thread, what did I miss?

hiya, most of the usual with added "Urrgh ... why can't I post / why are my posts coming out twice / what's going on with Boards?" etc etc etc

And no love for Joe Duffy.

Where is pavie point tonight to give their view on this issue? Legal profession are also cleaning up on the free legal aid gravy train.....in Sligo we have a similar problem, to add insult and injury one of our local county councillors is flat out in court every week milking the free legal aid defending these aminals! county is a joke

Thought it was ok. Williams was kept on a leash and the solicitor made some valid points about the leniency of sentences.

The story of a woman driving around her house till the security lights came on was awful. Poor woman.

I never felt unsafe living on my own. Now I'm living back with an elderly parent. She's lived in this house for 40 years and never felt unsafe. When my father died we installed an alarm and I like the security it provides.

WTF is this?

Burglary is just a sad fact of life in modern society in all countries.

Why is this on TV?

How often have you been burgled/burgling?

murpho999 wrote: »

So now motorways are responsible for increased crime.

Of course these criminals would not travel the old roads if there were no motorways or commit crimes closer to home.

Stupid discussion this with populist appeals to culchies.

Soft targets, easy access, little or no policing, back in time for pints down the local.

that solicitor is a complete prat

Is that a professional opinion?

I'm not stirring, I'm genuinely trying to understand this.

But how much is a single guard in a tiny station gonna affect an attack on a farm if he doesn't hear about it till it's happened?

Really?

Local knowledge, local reporting, quick response. Most people now wouldn't even see a guard from month to month so why would criminals worry about getting caught,
Who do you suggest people report suspicious activity to, a call centre in India?

If the technical issues persist for much longer I'll have to ring Joe on Monday.

'Hello Joe, Mrs D here, the internet is broken Joe, it's a disgrace, I'm entitled to access Joe but it's not happening....what'll you do for me?'

"Hello, Joe? Joe? Yeah, eh, Donie here from Tallaght. Just ringing about what Mrs D said there. Happened to me as well. It's terrible, Joe. What do I want? I want de government to look at this and stop wasting money on refugees and bankers n'all. Like, why shouldn't I be entitled to look at boards n'all? Country's gone to the dogs, Joe. What? A book about kids in1916? No, boards, Joe. Country's in crisis, Joe."

Lady Chatterton

Lads, I reckon someone on Boards bought a new laptop today and they've sent hours talking to some Technical Support lad in India explaining that it's not working and they can't access their favourite website

Skid X

Boards should do an appeal like the charities you see on television


"Look at these posters, crying because Boards is broken. again. All they want to do is post. Is that too much to ask?"

"If you send €5 each month, Boards could upgrade from Windows XP. And these posters would be happy. Look at their smiling faces, as they talk about how much they love to hate their favourite programmes, like The Late Late Show, and Ray Darcy's monstorous talk show.

Please. Send what you can"

Until such time as our so called "Justice System" backs up the Gardaí things at best will not change, or at worst, get worse.

There needs to be more of a Garda presence in rural areas, it does make a difference.

There needs to be changes to the bail laws in Ireland, it is absolutely ridiculous that after all the effort of catching a criminal, that criminal is back out on the street, as far as I can see the "Justice system" just undermines all the work and efforts of the Gardaí.

I forgot to watch the audience and I fell asleep before 11pm....my first cousin and her husband were in the audience.
All I will say is, it was a long day.

Now for my sins I will have to watch a repeat, for a game of 'Where's Wally'.
Though none of them are named Wally...

with the motorways they can get pretty much anywhere within 2 hours. Stats back it up.

There's a psychological factor for the scum too. The feeling that escape is easy. I know a community, close enough to Dublin with a motorway nearby. There are two roads that run parallel to said motorway, one behind the other. The road nearest the motorway has had a spate of robberies over the years going back to the 90's. AFAIK not one house has been spared. Yet the road behind it and only a quarter mile behind it has had very few break ins. The scum seem to feel in their reptile brains that it's just too far away. Apparently housing estates with gateposts are less likely to be targeted than those without. No gates, just the posts. Purely psychological.

There has been and always will be rural crime

Switched off during tubridy and joe Duffy. Couldn't take any more. Banging headache this morning and I only had one beer.

On next week's show, Ryan will be talking to a Welsh web user who had to go through the harrowing ordeal of technical difficulties with an Irish chat forum website.

Plus, music from Shane Filan.

Looks again like if you want to win a Late Late Show competition you have to live in Munster, by my count there have been five Munster winners of Late Late Show competitions since the current series started last month(1 from Kerry, 1 from Cork, 2 from Tipperary and 1 from Clare). How long before they have one winner from every county in Munster ?

Joe's buke will be the go to reference on De Risin' for historians of de future

The father of three launched the book in the GPO last night at a star-studded ceremony hosted by Pat Kenny.

Speaking at the event, his close friend Brendan O'Carroll called upon Arts Minister Heather Humphreys to ensure that the book is on "the curriculum for every child in every school".

It was a good show overall this week .. making up for the rubbish show planned for next week. Along with crime, there is another plague that's sweeping rural Ireland and that is boyfolk music. That's precisely what is on for the full show next week. 2 hours of horrid boyfolk music by Derek Ryan and others. Why can't RTE promote good music for a change? It is either this muck or else it is some reality TV show with Louis Walsh is all that gets promoted. After a decent last few Late Late Shows, Tubridy has brought it crashing down with his boyfolk tribute next week. I give up.
