to be honest it sounds like she's a few issues and I did debate about posting her link in that list as it's not Gold really but moreso like slowing down to look at a car crash.

pinkyeye

The only one of them I hadn't heard before was the once who was scammed and I'm dying to know now. Did we ever find out how she was poisoned??

When she said her job is in diversity (ie, intersectionalism) so why on earth would she question anyone (!), I knew this was Darwinism in action.
Dope.

Thank you for your service caller in posting these links so to speak as they say. I was hoping to listen to Donna at some stage as I missed her the day she was on due to my work being in de hostible and dat.

urgelgru

Thanks for the Texas Tom link.. I actually know the caller but I didn't know about the whole debacle until a few months ago

ButtersSuki

Donna laying it on thick for Mr. Duffy and her ambulance chasing solicitor no doubt for when the claim goes in. PTSD, crying, couldn’t eat, mortified etc. She’ll likely get a few quid out of this.

Tell him that I am a fan and would like him to ring back on a few other topics.

Glebee

I thought someone from Tullamore told me recently that Tom had closed the restauant/cafe a few months ago.

KevRossi

Joe setting out his stalls in the Dickie Rock v Johnny Logan handbags. He's coming down on the side of Dickie by the sounds of it.

thesandeman

Actually, can somebody post a link to the Dickie V Johnny bit of that programme please.
I was listening to the show but fell asleep before the main event so to speak. I don't want to go through the whole thing again looking for it if their spat was only a couple of rounds near the end.

I hope you told them they were a pain in the arse and hoped they'd drop dead.

9. June 23rd Malachy Steenson comes on air to give out about a statue in Fairview park been painted the LGBT pride colours overnight. Malachy and Joe proceed to then argue for 20mins about the statue and what it stands for. Lots of references to 1916, Nazism, Communism, proclamations, IRA, sovereign governments and U-Boats.
Basically, just a pair of aul Dubs having a bar-stool argument.
https://www.rte.ie/radio/radioplayer/html5/#/radio1/21793055

McDermotX

Re: that statue in Fairview, I don't think you can say they are the LBGT pride colours.

Only 'bear a resemblance' according to the reknowned expert in the area, Joseph Duffy.

Could just as easily been a ne'er-do-well who happened to have 10 different colour tins of paint on him. As you do.

Muahahaha

I heard that Fairview statue discussion live yesterday while driving in the car. Whatever about the ins and outs of the argument Duffy was being an absolute prick with him, kept shouting him down and brow beating him, the chap literally wasnt allowed to make a point without Joe jumping in with a two footed tackle.

Genghis

Yeah, listened back to the 'debate' with Malachy. Duffy was snarling from the off (or the 'get go' as our hero is apt to say), literally taking his head off when he was trying to give the location of the statue.

Wasn't surprised to hear there was previous. Duffy had one good point (legitimacy of action / Irish government), but he couldn't land it and embarrassed himself with nonsense about the Taoiseachs sexuality, implying they were not pride colours, querying whether it defaced or decorated the statue, etc.

A bit embarrassing, but reckon Duffy would feel he "won" with the cheap shot show.

you could be safe enough. Not much gold , off the top of my head , recently

Terrontress

Maurice was amazing. Just like Alan Partridge, giving out about farmers on air. Complains about them paying tax, polluting rivers, he then proceeded to insult anyone who stuck up for them, even abused people who phoned in to support his position. I had previously thought that Gold only happens on Joe's shift, but this was good stuff.

sligojoek

Thank you for your service.

Terrontress

I’m not sure Christine’s hair loss felt like gold to me. She seems to have severe mental health issues.

As the story unfolded it got weirder and weirder, I didn’t realise initially that it took place outside of Ireland, and as each detail was revealed, it got more and more confusing.

But I came away in no doubt that the poor woman has lost her hair, and put it down to stress caused by mental health issues.

Joe shouldn’t have aired it.
