Liveline With Joe Duffy - Mod Note in OP

dvcireland

Shivon is actually how she spells her name

Arghus

Eliza V Betty would be a good match-up.

Joe: The UK has more places of course.

Wow, who'd have thunk it? A bigger country with a bigger population has more places. Wow. I'm gob smacked.

BPKS

Will Joe get Padre Paul Murphy on the line tomorrow, in court today he hugged the radicalised young fella who tried to kill him in Galway last summer.

Liveline will probably also try to get the poor young lad on the show.

Then there'll be complaining about the huge amount of college drop outs

He went to Trinity in the mid-70s when you (for certain courses) literally only had to apply for a course and you’d get in if you really wanted it, ticked certain boxes, and achieved minimum entrance criteria - older posters may remember “the matric” exams for example. There was no CAO system nor points race in those days.

He also did a long defunct course in “Social Work” which I heard directly from an academic in said university was a 2 year programme and to quote them “an Arts-lite course” - she wasn’t 100% certain but said it was most likely a diploma or a certificate course. Joe did spend more than 2 years in Trinners but a lot of his time there was in the Student’s Union and not studying,

It certainly wasn’t Medicine, Law, or Nuclear Physics he was studying during his time there, and despite his on-air rant/claims he most certainly does not have the same education as Michael O’Leary.

Peter Dragon

He’s always been a very modest man, never seeking praise or coverage where it wasn’t earned or warranted.

Michael, please call in, and put Joe in his place.

Today, Joe

Leaving cert grad inflation.
Betty getting the wrap around insulation done on her house, scaffolding outside, those doing the works are away, she gets a knock on the door from someone with a Black & Decker in his hand who says he needed to check something upstairs, turns out it was a conman and he relieved her of her jewellery.
Internet dating.

Aaaah, poor Betty

LambshankRedemption

Poor Betty indeed.

Many many years ago I was working in a small over-the-shop office in a town outside Dublin. There were 5 of us in the office, but to anyone on the street it probably looked like a normal flat. The doorbell went and i was asked to go down and see who it was. There's a guy in a hi-viz vest saying they were doing some work in the area and asked to check the water, so I let him in, up the stairs we went, and his enthusiasm changed when he saw four other people at desks. He turned on the tap in the kitchenette, "yeah that looks fine. Thanks very much". Off he went.

I got into trouble for letting in someone who didnt present ID. It was a lesson I learnt to this day. Thankfully, nothing else happened.

Joe says Cannons on our navy vessels.

If Joe gets a sailor on he will ask him do they still get a daily ration of rum.

Any chance the lighthouses have generators? I'm betting they do.

LambshankRedemption

"The lighthouses managed to keep the lights on".

Yeah they have this magical device given to them by the elves called a generator. The direct translation from Elvish is "Creates light where none exists and can charge an iPhone".

LambshankRedemption

Here's Betty.

McDermotX

World's most rubbish scumbag

Joe: "What age was your son?"

Joes patronizing of Betty is nauseating 😮‍💨

archfi

Is Joe being overly patronising with Betty here?

I think Betty thinks so.

McDermotX

Sounds like a ghost

A baseball hat wearing one

Just up and vanished like a fart in the wind

He could have hidden in the wardrobe

I think Betty is "great".

I lost count of how many times Joe said it.
