You think he’d smile or at least not look like he’d rather be anywhere else but there?

He probably only realised when he got to the top that it wasn’t a public appearance with a fee attached and now he had to endure the great unwashed without a foyve figure cheque-een at the end of it and not even a place set aside to sell de bikes either.

After hearing (some/most) of today's show, I'm actually inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I think he's just bored stupid and/or mortified with the usual Lahvline fare that he winds up with, but when he got a subject that was a step above singing priests / Mary's cat in Clontaaaarf / tales of Aunt Agatha's cancer, he proved himself willing and more than able.

I don't think people listen in for subjects like yesterdays. I listen in for stories of dodgy companies/ Mary's cat stuck up a tree etc. If PBH was to take over, I would be switching off for good. I find him very very boring and patronising.

Mod note (again!)

Enough of the politics, as I'd said previously in this thread take it to Politics or PM.

They're using a clip from yesterday's interview in the ads for the show now.

I didn't hear the show but from reading the posts I'm glad I didn't. I won't be listening back to hear excuses about paedophilia and "top tips for goo-gulling kiddie porn" thank you very much......

It was very interesting. Like I say, the two women made for very powerful listening, lots of food for thought.

What Liveline should be for.

Was anyone listening to Drivetime this evening? They were playing old clips about broadband promises during the years. There was one of Philip in the early noughties where his voice sounded completely different than it is now. They must be putting him through a synthesizer these to make his voice sound deeper more boring

I assume it's so that foreign media would know who he was. And we kind of do have a pm: from the constitution - "The head of the Government, or Prime Minister, shall be called, and is in this Constitution referred to as, the Taoiseach. ... The Tiste shall act for all purposes in the place of the Taoiseach if the Taoiseach should die, or become permanently incapacitated, until a new Taoiseach shall have been appointed. The Tiste shall also act for or in the place of the Taoiseach during the temporary absence of the Taoiseach."

Back to politics ????

I dipped in and out of the show today, and despite the subject matter (which some thought inappropriate and I can see why), thought it was great to hear a difficult subject being discussed in a mature, rational manner without any of Joe's faux pas / rabble-rousing / prejudices / hysteria. That IMO is what Liveline should be for.

I thought the two women who were victims of child abuse themselves made for powerful voices, saying "why not ask us? listen to us" (and mercifully not being prodded for the gory details / reduced to tears).

PBH was the perfect host on the day.

I can just imagine him goo-gulling "Puns for Paedophilia"; AND coming out with stuff like:

And you say de Gardai make a cock-up of the investigation? Wat's dat Aengus? I can't say wat? Back after deeze....

Completely missing the point there caller. Did you read the other posts on it?

I prefer the utter nonsense !!

And on the last serious note - the above comments just go to show what an utter joke Joe has made of the show over the years. Trash is what we've come to expect, and are delivered 99% of the time.

I'm sure normal service will resume with Joe's return tomorrow

His wife is very low profile and out of the media spotlight. I'm not sure I've ever seen a photo of the two of them together before this.

Caller driven show, driven entirely by one pedo it seems.

you need 35 years' service to get a full pension, so retiring at 50 would get a reduced pension.

Perhaps soapbox Joe could voice the audio tour, so to speak. It would be in keeping with the depressing, torture-laden themes.

He’s done quite a few audio voiceovers, so he’s well-practised in dat.

As for the Deputy Prime Minister title; it simply doesn't exist and is inherently disrespectful and some would say offensive to the office to change the name to appear more West Brit or whatever the hell his objective was in applying such a monicker to himself and the office. It was a very ill-judged thing to do. We don't have a Prime Minister so how can we have a Deputy PM? We have a Head of Government. Has any Irish Tiste ever referred to themselves as "Deputy Prime Minister" ever before? I sincerely doubt it, but I'm pretty sure if they were they were criticised for doing so.
