All about Eddie this week...wonder is he gearing up for a Seanad run again?

I got a LinkedIn request from Eddie this week. Never met him in my life. Not in his line of business. The only thing in common is we're both from Laois!!

And I have a small network on it. What is he up to??

Acting up over a couple of eggs, you think he'd give them a break.

When Noel said he had no one to talk to, straight to his wife, I thought that was harsh on her.

His mam seems a bit cold alright.

Yes I agree re it being hard on his wife - she has seemed very supportive all along and must be getting a hard time of it like the way when they went on holiday he stayed one night and then left her and the kids alone for the rest of the holiday. I would say it is like being a single parent at times!

The mother was just so dismissive. I thought.

I'd imagine that the mother is very much of the opinion that 'real' men don't talk like her son did. She was just so dismissive.

Old school. Very old school..

The new doctor, Dr. Sumi(?) is very good.

Not all hugs and over familiarity, professional. What I'd look for in a health care professional. You're not looking for a best friend.

This sounds a bit racist but a few in work were saying a trait in Polish people is always being right. I never heard it before?

You can’t be racist against your own race.

Dakota Dan

The big lad giving out about people on social media saying that his wife wasn’t supportive, maybe he should blame RTE’s editing instead.

The man with the shop, 2 weeks ago he never had a holiday in his life and tonight he took his brothers on multiple holidays, he’s some bluffer alright.

I'm from Laois, and I didn't get any request.
I'm in a huff now!

Know this is sad but I googled and it is a word. Basically same as potential. He was showing off tonight.

I missed the last 20 minutes, just waiting for RTÉ player to update, then I'll watch it.
Ate a bag of peanut M&Ms, delicious.

No just mentioning that a few work colleagues had said Poles were an exceptionally stubborn people. Always right.

I never heard that said before.

Leo Varadkar (40) 'surprised' to hear he has fitness level of 53-year-old on Operation Transformation

The media picking up on it. Fair play to him actually going on television the way he did. If his reading is 53 I'd hate to see what some of the more unhealthy TDs would be.

I found it interesting. I thought he just jogged and when I heard the result said to myself he's obviously doing it at low intensity and his lifestyle and diet mustn't be great. Sitting around a lot like in the Dail. That article mentions marathons and triathlons.. how true is that? In fairness that paper has turned into a rag. For example it's weather headline sensationalism is like the Daily Express.

Agree, I still have it as an app on the phone so just find it easier to share articles. The times are covering it too.
Wonder does the machine measure stress too, this could effect somebodies readings. Going to pop down to my local pharmacy later to get mine measured. Partly for kicks but also interested to see what my reading is, similar age to Leo and would consider myself somewhat healthy. I might be surprised yet and wondering what the science behind it is

It might represent years of good exercise and diet too. I'd say it's a relatively accurate science. Like you knew Anna Geary, KT and MOM were going to do well before. They all look fit for their age.

Leo has softer looking flesh around him. If you were to compare him with say John Kiely Limerick manager, late 40s or Jack O'Connor, Kerry, 50s who look really fit, angular jawed.

I’ve thought those two oddballs from the first show. I’d say they’d be something else to work for. Total misers

It measures your weight and they grip two handles with their hands, somehow I doubt it would be accurate.

Have a friend with a small shop, is similar. Think it turns people into control freaks- own business and handling cash equals trust issues!

A spotlessly clean house does not equal a happy home.

And fair play, she has stayed off the cigarettes, that's no easy task.

That girl hasn’t a lot of money- in fairness they’re all working and she has a lot of kids so not easy keep the house clean. She’s easily my favorite leader as she’s warm, kind and what you see us what you get I’d say.
