    Why will they not interview someone in the hospital at deaths door?

    Is it time to broadcast the show from the mortuary?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,470 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    Very uncomfortable with this really. I know she wanted to go on the show but RTÉ didn’t need to air her still very raw grief so soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,037 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    All we need are the mother and baby homes, but Joe Duffy has been tearing the arse out if that subject for OVER a week now, not that I bothered listening either.

    We need a detective on the case to watch the credits and find the names of all the producers and get their emails, together with Dee 4, Tubs and so on.

    This is misery on a stick at a time like this and is NOT light entertainment. At All. Glad I gave up on RTE a long time ago.

    I still have to pay more per month for the license than I do for Netflix though, and that annoys me no end.

    So the message is that no matter how very careful you are you get Covid and die from it.

    I'm afraid the LLS show message about how bad covid can be isnt going to get to the members of the public that arent taking it seriously . The people this message is aimed at in particular do not watch the LLS.

    While every normal person will feel empathetic towards this woman the LLS show is preoccupied with misery. Entertainment it's not. And Turbridys speech / preaching to the nation every week is getting a bit nauseating at this stage.

    This need’s to be thanked twice.

    RTE are simply causing harm to vulnerable people, not “spreading the message”

    I remember a time when the late late was a fun show to watch.a few sports lads or lass on,a bit of music etc.
    Gone are the days

    Condolences to the man who passed away but come on this is meant to be an entertainment show.
    RTE is a joke

    What in the jaysus were the HSE doing the last year that we still have fook all ICU beds? They should suspend all the testing and stick the mountains of cash that would be saved in to ICU beds and 24 hour vaccination.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,501 ✭✭✭FintanMcluskey


    Is she plugging a book now?

    Never waste a crisis as they say

    FFS this is cruel.

    This is a shambles. What are they playing at.

    Yep, didn't most people who actually give a **** already know that and those who don't....don't care anyway?

    Replaced by relentless moralising, "do what you're told Joe Public or this will happen to you".

    F*ck off.

    Radio interview and the LLS, I think she’s enjoying it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36 Purple Papillon


    She's such a brave lady. I hope everyone listens to her story and takes this virus very real. Rip to Nigel and sympathies to his beautiful wife and family.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    This woman shouldn’t be on this show is horrendously exploitative


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,176 ✭✭✭screamer


    Poor woman should be sitting on a couch with a grief councillor not sitting on a couch on the lls

    Strange this interview
    Hmmmmmmmmmmmm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭Lollipop95


    This is heartbreaking, I’m in tears. What an incredible woman, I hope people listen to her. So very brave of her to come on the show

    The horror is that no matter what you try to do to stop the virus it comes and kills you.

    In fairness what happened during the boom, so few beds for a so called wealthy country in Europe...

    I've been listening to people saying RTE are pushing the doom and gloom far too much.

    Now I haven't always agreed, but between the News and the Late Late this week, it has become depressing the way they are pushing Covid on us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,113 ✭✭✭mcburns07


    Now we move on to discussing the deaths in the US. Jesus christ.

    If it’s not a covid theme it’s across the sea to the yanks for a waffle session.
    We did this fcukin last week.

    Is he the bòllocks who brought up Hillary's emails in the first place?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,667 ✭✭✭✭MisterAnarchy


    Tubs has moved onto lecturing people on US Politics in the weekly Anti Trump slot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,489 ✭✭✭CH3OH


    IF this needs to be on RTE..at all.
    surely it should be on Prime Time.
    Not a supposedly F#CKING Light entertainment program

    This a thousand times , the anti masks folks wouldn’t be watching the late late or have any effect.
    This woman is still suffering after her husbands death for RTÉ to use her like this is just cruel.. the only thing this is doing frightening the life out the likes of my 80 year old mother who are sticking to the guidelines.
    She is after telling people not to even go outside..

    Expect Marty morrisey or a garrihy to update us on their life in lockdown

    Explotive

    Unnecessary

    Depressing

    I take Covid seriously but this tripe does nothing for anyones well being and the poor women doesn't need that. This country needs some relief given the bad news week we've had in general

    Who is in line as number 3 for the Whitehouse, is it Hillary?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    I’m going to put on The Night Stalker: Hunt for a Serial Killer on Netflix for some light reprieve

    Did she plug a book?

    No. She and her late husband left a book into their local book shop before Christmas to be signed by John Connolly.

    The book arrived by post this week.


  • Posts: 5,311 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Comey tallying the figures in his head, I wonder how many eejits will buy my book.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,113 ✭✭✭mcburns07


    Comey is articulate but he's so boring and robotic

    This last week or two has been the very worst, and this evening appalling. I'm personally extremely depressed at the minute worrying about the latest variants and I see living proof of it now that it just takes you away in spite of all efforts you have made to take care. This show has reminded me I and loved ones are sitting ducks.

    I think we are all pretty jaded with listening to Covid news at this stage. It doesn't mean we don't take it seriously.

    Covid is everything. Covid is all.


    Time for bed I think.

    I don't really think personal digs at Trumps appearance is in any way professional.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,349 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980

    Nancy Pelosi.
