Are you on Twitter by any chance?I am not any more. If you are, can you tweet at Liveline and Joe about your high of 2024 being the Wolfe Tones concert.

BPKS

Joe definitely keeping the RIP.ie story for the first week in January so he can get 2/3 handy days without any research, just the same callers regurgitating the same story

no I deleted my account of that hell hole. I use bluesky now, which is twitter before the musk ruined it

I know. I moved to bluesky too.

RTE complaint?

Why does he make it so complicated?!

doesn’t matter if its high or lower case

I assume he means, upper or lower case.

Seriously, could he not get a transition year student in to proof read his tweets?

I must have Wolfe Tone fan limited intelligence.

For example, text ‘C’ for Climate change first day off to 51551 in the highest highs... or ‘H’ for Hospitality Prices as your lowest low. You can text as often as you like, as the number of Highs & Lows is reduced, as we get closer to people’s No. 1 choice.

What is Climate change first day off?

LambshankRedemption

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122970442#Comment_122970442

How do I vote for the DRS as being a low for 2024?

Seriously though, this list is just silly:

1. A - Abuse in schools

2. C - Climate Change

3. H - Hospitality prices and closures

4. N - The Bike Shelter debacle

5. V - Dynamic Pricing for tickets

6. I - Aer Lingus Strike

7. E - End of Cash

8. L - Low election turn-out

9. J - Fall of Biden

10. W - Women soccer players out of Euros

HIGHS

1. F - Colin Farrell marathon run

2. M - Cillian Murphy – first Irish actor to win best actor Oscar

3. O - Olympics

4. R - Robbie Dolan wins Melbourne Cup

5. G - Chris Martin busks on Grafton Street

6. D - Deposit Return Scheme

7. B - Apple windfall

8. P - Dublin Portal

9. T - Taylor Swift comes to Ireland

10. S - Saoirse Ronan

What fall of Biden? He is still in the Whitehouse??

The Dublin Portal which was so successful it had to be closed due to anti-social behaviour!

No mention of Conor McGregor, or Kneecap.

Ah, you've got to feel sorry for the RTE wurkurs, toiling away at the coalface every day for a pittance.

I like the artist's inclusion of a pair of Beyer Dynamic 100s on Gaybo.

It's very good of Joe to let us vote on the topics that HE and his team decided were the highs and lows of 2024.

Dan Jaman

I never listen to his drivel on the Highs and Lows, so see no reason to break that tradition.

I'm off.

The letter system is a mess

Joe: It sounds complicated but it's very straight forward. N for Bike shed and V for Dynamic pricing.

No G for Gaza or U for Ukraine bizarrely enough.

BPKS

Light hearted look at the year starts with war, Famine, disability and death.

Only on Liveline

CH3OH

Could you make it anymore complicated?

Must have been a committee

archfi

Well this sounds very Christmassy doesn’t it?

Lad is listing real lows of the year, ignoring Joes mickiemouse list.

BPKS

Who are these contributors in the studio?

sligeach

No coverage of the controversy of The Irish Times Group charging €100 from 1st January to post a death notice on RIP.ie because this voting debacle was decided well in advance. Just as well no relatively famous person died between the end of yesterday's show and now. It might have thrown a spanner in the works.

LambshankRedemption

So is it C for Climate change or C for Corporal punishment? Didn't he say it was A for Abuse?

Real journalists and charity senior managers

This will be awful muck.

I'm out and won't be back before Xmas (see what I did there?).

Happy Christmas boardsies, here's to the last few months of Duffy on 360k a year.

sligeach

10. W - Women soccer players out of Euros

belongs in the HIGH category.

And

6. D - Deposit Return Scheme

9. T - Taylor Swift comes to Ireland

And both of these should be in the LOW category.

5. G - Chris Martin busks on Grafton Street

This can go in the "WHO THE HELL CARES?" category.

B is for Apple and N is for Bike shed.
