This whole scandal broke on the release of tweets porter sent some guy in which, apart from some other stuff, he refers to being”coked up” in some trendy hip parlance.
In my day we just would have said “I’m coked up to my eyeballs” but that’s old hat now.

Maybe he could make an appointment to see you ? :rolleyes:

Personally , I'm happy hes gone off the radio......

Me too. Glad I don't have to change from today fm when his awful radio show started. I'd say today fm have seen a significant bump in their listenership figures since he's been dispatched.

I’m the most critical of Al Porter on this thread.
It’s not an excuse but may explain his apparent total lack of self control.

That's BULL**** and you know it!

Could have been a misspelling?

Absolutely he does.
I hope he’s getting professional help to deal with what I suspect is behavior connected to possible substance abuse.
In a way he’s lucky that his antics have been nipped in the bud early doors.
There’s still time for him to turn his life around and be a decent person and make a positive contribution to the arts world.

When you say the arts world I hope you mean painting pictures or something because I never want to see his face or hear his voice again.

I think I felt bad for being so hard on him in the beginning, but I’m just disinterested now.

Never liked him, but now i feel like im gloating in his downfall.
Id have preferred if there was a sudden mass epiphany and everyone realised he was sh1t3 and he just slipped into gay/panto obscurity.

All quiet from Al

Quietly working in the canteen in RTÉ biding his time. He’ll be on the late late when the time is right.

I just hope it’s not to late

Who said he was sniffing air freshener? What? Seems such a nice chap and well grounded, I couldn't match his energy though, he'd wear me out. Nevertheless, surprised and saddened to hear he was sniffing air freshener recreationally if correct.

He said he has 600 points from his leaving cert, he could study and become anything he likes with those points I suppose, at only 24yo

I feel sorry for the lad.

That would be really interesting. Imagine he went and got a law or medical degree.

And went for a job. But he didn’t get it cos of all this.

Even with no charges and just a public scandal, it’s unlikely anyone would hire you to do anything isn’t it?

No company would want that on their name.

Weird world we live in.

He's probably reverted back to his real name. Al Porters a stage name as if it wasn't obvious.
