I've always had great time for Shay. He wasn't great last time I saw him on something.

aoh

So Ourlene is going to be in Europe for Brexit!

Are rte intentionally trying to kill off the late late?!
The guests this year appear that they do!

All it is missing is a guest on with the coronavirus.

What's morbid is that RTE probably have several recorded pieces 'in the can' so to speak, about the passing of Shay Healy.

She's getting a full tribute show next week.

Fair play to RTE for having these 2 survivors of this atrocity and a very dark period in European history on tonight. They said it must never be allowed to happen again but still is.
40th anniversary.

I’d rather have been in Auschwitz than watch that line up.

What, too soon? :rolleyes:



















Note: I have actually been to Auschwitz. It was not a very nice experience.

My wife is always at me to take her there, but I'm very much in two minds.
On the one hand, I think we all should go, just to see what man is capable of doing to his fellow man, and just hope that nothing like this will ever happen again.

On the other hand, I don't think I'm mentally strong enough to go, I think it would be too over powering for me.

It's very difficult tbh, and while I'd definitely say it's not for everyone, I'd say that most people should see it or one of the other camps. I'd say go.

I've been to Nuremberg* (with it's bizarre war/Nazi museum), Hiroshima, and Nagasaki amongst other places but TBH I think what affected me most was being in Enniskillen as a young teeanager the morning of the bombing (the smell is something I will never forget); and in NY a copuple of weeks after 9/11.






*Nuremberg bizarrely hosts the world's largest Toy Fair every year, and also has one of the world's largest Toy Museums.

I went there on a very cold November day in 2016. One thing that struck me was no WiFi.

Foster is among her own people in South Dublin anyway, people of Anglo Irish heritage. People over simplify the heritage of this island, people north of border can often be more Irish in ancestry than a southerner but southerner will act like he holds the monopoly on the heritage.

So Marian Keyes is one of the guests tonight .i wonder what she’s suffering from now,cause anytime she has a new book out ,she’s always suffering from something,ffs!!

This. As a 50 year old Southern child of two S Fermanagh parents. Southerners do not own or deserve that monopoly. The GFA promised something new, but let everyone (North and South) relax and settle into their rut.
I admire Arlene. She is disaster-prone, but she is authentic.

Her first books were very good, laugh out loud stuff. I gave up reading them a few yrs ago, it was almost like she ran out of ideas.

Arlene Foster?

On an RTÉ TV show?

Live?

My god, she must be desperate for votes.

I think I need a new TV- I have some out of date eggs that look like tomatoes and some out of date tomatoes that look like eggs- I think I’ll just assemble all of those alongside my popcorn and maltesers and start practicing my spin bowling.

More than 20 million Russians died during the war. The Japanese killed millions of Chinese civilians. Why is the only story from the war about the Jews?

I haven't heard from The Coronas since this virus started ... just saying, like

Are they now or have they ever been in China?

Lock them up.

Bring her on then cut off her microphone after a couple of minutes mid-sentence, the cantankerous cow. A nasty piece of work.

I don't regret going but it is a seriously sobering experience

I thought she was quite brilliant, Farage taking the piss (one of the few times he actually turned up!) That little show by him all came after a very sobering speech by an Auschwitz survivor.

The man and his party is a clusterf#ck and the one good thing about brexit is I might not need to look at his f#cking toad of toad hall face as regularly.

I hope Arlene likes the cake I left in the green room for her- hope it makes her happy- gay even

Since Arlene Foster became leader of the DUP Same Sex Marriage and Abortion have been legalised and a United Ireland has moved two generations closer due to her actions.


I think she's an undercover agent posing as a Unionist and history will wonder why it took everyone so long to realise it!

We need to get over the constant nostalgia thing about our (ancient) past in Eurovision we wheel out the usual suspects every year, meanwhile in Sweden their broadcaster has round one of their massive and insanely high quality Eurovision selection show tomorrow.

I like Nigel Farage, but I have a lot of time for Mairead McGuinness as well.

Farage should have left out the flags thing as it was a bit mocking and pathetic - he's won, he didn't need to do any more. But was very surprised by McGuinness and her condescending tone. FG always the best European lapdogs, even more pathetic. They are an embarrassment.

Cut off Arlenes mic at 11pm and up a screen across in front of her.

Holocaust survivors are so important to tell their story, but not on a Friday night.
I watched the commemoration of the 75th anniversary on the liberation of Auschwitz, and four survivors told their story and gave their thoughts, it was the middle of the week, it was moving, but I do not want emotion of the sad kind on a Friday night.

Yes, Ryan, you would get this nowhere else on a Friday night.

Love the way the intro montage makes it look like Dermot Bannon is never on the show.

generalgerry

Can somebody let me know if anything interesting happens. I'll keep checking for the next couple of weeks.

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

You'd think at some stage when they were filming it someone would say

"Er ... he's clearly not a fine thing. Get the kid to say 'Mummy told her friend my teacher was a fine thing" or something like that.
