Any idea where Duffy is today. If I didnt know better I would think that himself and Marion Finucane are setting up an alternative station themselves.

Aine said Marian is back next week. I didn't hear it myself, Joe, but the wife did.

Just reading the thread as I couldn't listen to the show. Rather than engage is a forensic analysis and criticism of what I read I'll just sum it up in four letters: WTAF?

Really wish we'd kept up the holiday counter on Duffy. Would make for a very interesting and more accurate take on his fees per week when the figures are released compared to weeks worked rather than dividing by 52 or 48 (to allow him "just" 4 weeks holidays) like we currently do. Given the current calculation is around €8,600 per week (based on a 52 week calendar) I'd imagine by the time he finishes this year the fees will have increased to somewhere around the €450,000 mark and he'll on current pace have worked around 38 weeks.....that's almost €11,850 per week. Not bad for 6 hours and 15 minutes "work" (incl. breakeens) per week.

Well you could always go through the Lahvline threads since January and tot it up on your abacus.

Today's output was crap.

HeidiHeidi

New Year's Resolution (yes, I know, I know it's not even hallowe'en yet) for Da Lahvline thread - start a Joe's Days Off Counter.

I might even offer to do it myself, if I didn't occasionally throw a strop and go into self-imposed exile for weeks on end (if ONLY I could keep it up permanently )

Wasn't able to listen today either - what was that really boring bit in the middle that had ye all passing out???

I'm amazed that JoeFilup didn't cover the tragic death of Anthony Foley (mind you, Joe probably would have - or Bob Dylan, whom I'm thoroughly sick of by now so much have I heard of him and his music on the airwaves since winning his gong (fair play to him btw).

I've an A in honours maths behind me but not sure I'd have the stomach to tackle that one!

For clarification, that's not a thinly veiled "I got an A in honours maths" post; but I have s related question:

Guess to the nearest thousand how many "well done's" I'd get from Joe for that?

I started one last Jan. and from memory left Snubbs in charge of it when I had to vacate the thread for a while (ban I think....;) ) so I'm blaming her for ahem, failing to keep it up....

Yes, it's true.

That 'find me father' effort today was really edge of the seat stuff. Peter seems to have been great oul character in the days of the Raj.

On days when I miss the show I occasionally listen back whilst walking the dogs at night. After reading the thread yesterday I simply couldn't be arsed.

Is the full-time host doing the show today, or is it Joe?

foggy_lad

Was there an apology yesterday?

sligojoek

You missed nothing.

I didn't hear whether he's in for the forthnight or not.

No. I listened for it at the start. I gradually drifted away as the show went on.

Aonghus McNally on with Anton Savage now, promoting the new touring Christy Hennessey show so to speak.

The focking meeja in Ireland is a circle jerk (off) where if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours promote my buke/concert/album/whatever, I'll promote yours so to speak.

Joe will be wanting Aonghus to be making him a new jingle for the show now....

Well I've been waiting for someone to record this festive rental market number I put together on the thread last year. He could have a go at this. Joe would love it so to speak:

Rushing through my show,
For eight grand a day,
Store my cash at home,
Laughing all the way,

Listen to caller’s pleas,
Pretending that I care
I’m in it for me fees
‘cos I’m a millionaire

Oh,

Rent increase, Rent increase,
Increases all the way,
Oh what fun is it to drive,
My Jag to Clontarf bay.

Rent increase, Rent increase,
Increases all the way,
Oh what fun is it to drive,
My Jag to Clontarf bay.

ButtersSuki

Won't be in today so to speak.....hope it's better than yesterday's show for those of you who listen.
