    This Mid Interview contrived Question and Answer to promote another RTE Show is immoral, Disgusting, Vile, Cringeworthy, Sickening and must be stopped.

    Wonder what they will segway from Giles interview, perhaps some new RTE documentary going to be shown about the makers of quality sheepskin jackets.

    RTE does really good bad TV.

    It's not that bad, I have seen shows living abroad!

    Seriously, I go on about this but the constant phone in comps on ever live show except the news is awful for a national broadcaster.

    Three times they have promoted it now.

    You book a high-profile comedian from Liverpool, only to leave him sitting there while an old civilian couple takes over his segment...

    Remarkable, really. :o;)

    They did the same thig during the Denise McCormack interview. Randomly switched over to the rollerblade girls.

    They even broke up the John Bishop interview / Skype promo to do the competition. Weird.

    RTE must be thinking their target audience is hard of hearing :rolleyes:

    Even Nationwide is starting with phone-in competitions now. It's nothing but a money-making racket for RTE.

    At McDonald's there's always a good story behind our food.

    Take the Big Mac. This is the story of Mr Connective Tissue and the Mechanically Removed Meat Machine.

    It's taking the piss, it's one thing having ads and getting licence fee money but having almost every single prime time show sponsored and also supported by premium rate phone in money is a joke. I won't even talk about the bloody joke that is RTE Player and the ads on that.

    Mir should get Bridie from Ballyconnell in the audience to sing a song now which says hello to all her neighbours, just to blow John Bishop's mind.

    even if they had no football to show, just let them get on with it.

    Leeds gone to the dogs in the modern day, I think though this year there's hope of them returning to the Premier League.

    He's looking well, John.

    It bothers me immensely that RTE got rid of him and kept Eammon and his rubbish.

    I met John Giles at a Book Signing a few years ago.

    I told him I love his last book (Forward with Leeds, it came out in the seventies)

    John told me no, it wasn't really a great book and he wished he'd spent more time on it.

    Pure Gentleman, one of a kind.

    Some of the tackles they did back then would result in police questioning for assault today.

    Yeah, they should be a talk show 1-2 like the way Conan O'Brien used to have that other fella just sitting there in between the guests.
