mountain

Feck sake! I hate that song but he played just a clip of Frankie and we’re getting all of the Scorpiobs???

I'd say the Soviets would have more interest in something they could play aloud in their Lada like some Motörhead.

It's a great song by The Scorpions, Wind of Change.

I mentioned it here when Joe had his topic on whistling, as it had a whistling solo.

Joe: "I was there!(when the Berlin Wall came down)"

You're great Joe.

Does Joe realize it's rude to talk over people, or just not care

It's alright when Joe wants to talk about himself.

That's the Liveline thread for you.

Jesus Horatio Christ he's playing the full thing again???

The clothes in the washing machine turn over and over and over again.

As far as I can tell, Joe heard "Eve of destruction" on the radio at the weekend and is now on his second day getting a programmed out of it - is that correct?

Caller driven show ,eh?

Atlantic Dawn

Joe thinking the EU don't put tariffs on lots of goods coming in to the region, particularly Chinese cars.

leath_dub

Needs more John O'Donovan from Cork

Atlantic Dawn

We may be an island surrounded by water but try getting a bit of decent fresh fish in the midlands any day of the week.

I can't wait to get the free pass. I'll be on the train 2 or 3 days a week to get me bit of fresh fish and when I say fresh I mean caught yesterday or the day before or even the day before that. I love me fish with the slime on it me.

Appologies for the mini rant.

Phil Coulter's song "The Button Pusher" might need a rewrite as the word knob isn't really used the same today 🤣

I am the man, the well-fed man, in charge of the terrible knob
The most pleasing thing about it, it's almost a permanent job
When the atom war is over, and the world is split in three
A consolation I got, well maybe it's not, there'll be nobody left but me

I sit at my desk in Washington in charge of this great machine
More vicious than Adolf Hitler, more deadly than strichnine
And in the evening after a tiring day just to give myself a laugh
I hit the button a playful belt and I listen for the blast

Tell the young people to go to Nicosia, and they can see a similar wall, Joe.

leath_dub

Never mind the madness of a wall built through the middle of a city, Joe

In Sligo there's a town bypass right through the centre of the town!

Busi_Girl08

Onto the apocalyptic book corner now.

I wonder will Joe let Bowie's"Five Years" play until it gets to the memorable lyric:

"A cop knelt down, kissed the feet of a priest

And a queer threw up at the sight of that'

A nod to William Topaz McGonagall there I'd say.
