Liveline With Joe Duffy - Mod Note in OP

Busi_Girl08

What I'm hoping for will be a meaningful tribute to a legend who put Ireland on the map in the F1 world, and stories of people who were either involved, or celebrated seeing the tricolour on the podium in Spa and Monza in the late 90s.

Clearly you are new here. Welcome!

Luvvie Central incoming……people getting emotional….Dessie was nearly in tears this morning.

KT at the wheel…… expect wall to wall full blown luvvies to infest the airwaves for the hour and a bit.

Bang!!!! that's my device hopping off the cats kennel

Without hearing today's show preview, there'll be something very wrong if this isn't covered on the show.

Its a death. Of course it will be covered.

Im looking forward to Alexa+ when the device can hop itself off the cats kennel.

He was supposed to be worth $600 million, fair play.

gave Michael Schumacher his start in F1 as well, Ralf too

What's really sad about is there's an Irish lad - Alex Dunne - making his way up in his career, started in the F2 a couple of weeks ago with decent results. It sucks that the man who brought F1 to Ireland's attention, and vice versa, Jordan won't get to see this lad progress in F2/F1.

I once saw him in the flesh ( quite close) down at Valderamma. He was dimu dimu ah hell small.

sligeach

Ah would you look who woke up from his slumber. Gray.

Atlantic Dawn

Caller must have taken advantage of the B&H merch.

He is going to enlighten us with the world happiness index :)

Not quite impressed by the bulshitter who said he had many clubs and many handicaps. Wherever I went I was expected to play off the same handicap.

To be fair to Katie, she is doing a meaningful tribute.

If it was Joe it would be "Oh Orla, you must be in so much pain, the PAIN, tell us about the pain Orla".

Oh absolutely, so far it's a great tribute and it's not people with tenuous connections. Getting John Watson was a great way to kick off.

Atlantic Dawn

My ambition is to pull in to Monaco on a Honda 50 and park it up at the Monte Carlo Casino.

Like Joe, when Katie says to the caller I believe you've a very funny story to tell us, 🙄

It's neither very funny, or funny 🥺

Simulation racing! A lad sitting in his bedroom playing XBox! Nuts!

sligeach

"Virtual motorsport"?

How does he get insurance for such a dangerous sport?

squonk

There’s a massive difference between driving an XBox car and an actual F1 car! This lad is a bit deluded.

Beechwoodspark

I’d say the 81 year old guy tells that Monaco story multiple times a week.

Atlantic Dawn

The real McCoy is the best…

I have the same admiration for a virtual car driver as i do of someone playing air guitar, ,

On second thoughts air 🎸 seems more fun

sligeach

Really Darragh? Virtual racing is nothing like real motor racing. Is your life in danger, do you risk the potential injuries from crashes, do you experience the excruciating g forces? Get out of here you spoofer?

LambshankRedemption

I watched Top Gun on TV, including the break in the middle for the RTE 2 News, and then got top score on Ace Combat 7 on the PS2.

I am clearly in the same league as the likes of Eddie Jordan. Should I ring in?

Atlantic Dawn

A solo holiday when you permanently need someone with you…ok 🤔

squonk

Sorry but this caller is not facing up to reality. She can’t travel alone. She also needs extra facilities. I’m not agree what she’s calling in about actually.

Busi_Girl08

Surely that can't be true about mobility scooters in Ireland???

Atlantic Dawn

Language barrier is gone with Google Translate, don't even need to type it in you can even speak your lingo in to and it will give foreign language speak out.

2smiggy

this is a strange request. why the feck would you want to go abroad by yourself when you cannot look after your self

wait for a few more years of eating here, we will have mobility scooters galore
