Pardon?

Elderly man is trying to help his dying, nursing home bound wife to locate an old friend and lots of comments nit-picking and jeering about how he makes his request. Not nice.

Always remember that. Also in the 1970s I used to be very nervous when I'd hear Nordie accents in Dublin, as there had been various buildings with windows shot through etc, especially with "Royal" in the name. I remember hearing a threatening sounding Nordie conversation in the back of the 14 bus and getting off, scared, and walking home.

Would have been more concerned of the British/loyalist terrorist attacks and their FG/lab helpers in Dublin at that time myself

A lot of Kerry people associate it a year with what happened in the football championship.

If you spoke to most Kerry people about 1982 the conversation would turn to Seamus Darby.

So if you spoke to most Kerry people about the year 1997 for example it would invariably lead to how good Maurice Fitzgerald was in the final against Mayo.

If you spoke to most Kerry people about the year 2011 they would end up giving out about the referee.

Seamus Darby owns my local pub in Toomevara. Tipperary. During the summer he gutted the place and did it up. One evening he let one of the lads in to have a look before he put everything back and asked the lad what he thought.

"Jesus, Seamus, It's lovely now that it's not a shrine to you anymore."

Vast majority are not.
A good host would have got to the point without this taking so long in a clear concise manner without all the rambling.

So short answer they met at a dance.

My own political understanding was completely primitive. Nordie voyis=Danger to this young teenager, my brain worked simplistically then.

Indeed, Joe as often as not does little to help any caller get across their story well within the time constraints of the show/other callers. He himself is liable to go off on irrelevant tangents that are of no help to caller or listener.

He headed off on a tangent during that conversation reminiscing on his own childhood where his mother took him out of the arigna mines of all places to bring him to Dublin or some such oul plamasing

Plus doesn't listen or remember key points and so asks stupid things we already know such as:

And what year was that John? John: I already told you, 1953
John: Dory this and Dory that. Joe: And what do you call her? John: I call her Dory.

And the classic Joe from the Pet Cemetary a few weeks ago:

Joe:And what is the dog called?
Caller: Ducky Duck
Joe: Duggie Dug
Caller: No, Ducky Duck
Joe: Oh right, Doggie Dog
Caller: No, Ducky Duck. Ducky Duck. Ducky. Duck
Joe: oh right..

It depends on the objective. Is it to develope and get the story across in a professional manner or run the clock down untill 3pm?

Or get miserable details.

Joe:"And how did your great grandfather die?"
Caller:"Heart attack"
Joe:"Wow".
Caller:"Well he did smoke 80 Major a day"
Joe:"At what age did he doy?"
Caller: 106 Joe.
Joe:"Still a young man"

And just as he's running the clock down another more relevant/poignant/urgent call comes through at 2 minutes to 3pm, and it never gets aired again.

He should identify as a minority and he’d be sorted.

He sounds like a bit of a self absorbed bollyx on that article.

“I’m very disappointed about being turned down the funding to make my next album by this ‘Panel of Music Experts’,” he said.

“I’m told I didn’t ‘provide enough information’.

“Any more information would’ve been personal.

“All they want is figures.

“So they’ve got my info, far too much in my view and all I got was ‘Dear Applicant’.

“It hurts to be just called ‘Dear Applicant’ when I’ve worked with some of these people and I’m no stranger in the Irish music industry.”

“And flying to Australia and America for six weeks at a time to make ends meet, leaving my wife and our very young kids for eight years running because of the lack of work here.

The following bit is pure Fr. Noel Furlong.....

“I will remember this decision when the wind catches my sail again.”

I've had a good few dealings with Mundy through the years. As a person, he's not the worst of them. He was always a worker and was on the road constantly.

That whole "industry" is shagged for the foreseeable future.
