You're saying that RTE read my post and took on board my suggestion

That's great actually, I might get up and watch. The hours are horrible though, I remember in the last election Trump was just taking the stand to accept victory at about 7am when I arrived in work.

God, I was rubbing my hands waiting for The Ryan Tubridy Show to start all the same. I was like a child waiting for the Toy Show

Wasn’t Caitriona Perry saying that there could be a wait of a week, or more, before there’d be a “final call”? Something to do with Pennsylvania?

Sean o Brien on now trying to flog his new book

Talking about how character and honesty is sooo important....

So will Sean mention the various times he took the flute out and p1ssed on the floor in pubs over the years?

The last time he settled out of court.

Doubt seanie expected it to be brought up

Been numerous stories about him over the years

Not pleasant company when drinking

I'd imagine publishing your intention on social media is probably the least successful method of giving up smoking.

Brendan O'Connor must have the phone numbers of the B List celebs etc that he interviews and left poor Damien with the C Listers.

I’m surprised I didn’t see, get sent this or even hear about it until now. Normally this type of thing finds it way to me in one form or another. Not doubting you btw, just hadn’t heard about it.

I can't imagine how he would think it wouldn't be.

This story involves urinating over a man:

No more D list than Bressie, Amanda Byram etc.

Come back Brendan, please!!!.


Damien is brutal, can't have a normal conversation with any of his guests.



He's one of the most inarticulate broadcasters I've ever heard, is he trying to dumb down his delivery to our level?

I hope you don't mind me editing it to fit my thoughts.

A bit over the top on the tribute to Sean Connery. Fair enough an iconic actor/James Bond, but they made it sound like he devoted himself to the betterment of mankind or something. Not a mention of his supposed 'difficult' personality...and God forbid they'd mention his views on hitting women.

Those two surviving on a budget of e20 per day each
Damo exclaimed at that!

But isn't that around the pension/dole amount?

Definitely happened. It was doing the rounds after the event then the family of the girl appealed for ppl to stop sharing it. She apparently left Ireland following it.

He must have met a couple of women I knew.
Tough btiches - they'd have hammered him first.

The Panel seemed keen to brush the Leo story off...not much to see here, not the 1st person to leak from within a Govt, wasn't he only being fair to all doctors, there's an agenda here to hurt FG's high poll ratings etc

With the obscene salaries offered to RTE radio comperes, surely they can do better than Damian O'Reilly - He literally doesn't have a clue

Given the calibre of daily rte radio presenters (esp Claire Byrne), its hardly a surprise that a chap who serves as a stand in can actually outdo her in sloppy.

Neck, not knowledge, is what gets you ahead in RTE.
Who is responsible for hiring / scheduling these presenters ?

He / she shd really consider their position. It is beyond embarrassing

ButtersSuki

Not that I agree with this American, but Damien is no match for him. He’s had to call in the cavalry now to be helped out by the female guest in debating him.
