...and this, from our (respected) 'serious scrutineer' :D...

As my post outlining the parameters to trigger ‘serious scrutiny’ advises the reader,it’s quite obvious these conditions have not been reached, hence ‘serious scrutiny’ from this respected subscriber has not kicked in.

It's his accent. I can only tolerate five minutes then I am off. 'Now like we'll have a look at da papers by?'
Why is he using an upward intonation like American teenagers? He's a bit old for all that stuff.

That affected intonation isn't confined to O'Connor, Matt Cooper and Mary Wilson are similar graduates of that course.

Cooper has bigger diction issues than that.

Stick to print Matt.......

Do try to tell us.

Was pottering around the gaff this am, half listening, as you do.

Heavy droning in the background, eventually wondered if the fcuker next door was
cutting the back lawn again, and the ride on was a bit ‘off’.

Maybe you are just too lazy to check back on your own (recent) posts or you're exhibiting the 'goldfish-in-a-bowl' syndrome? I took it that southstar was referring to the above quote...

Jesus has wept enough methinks....

No idea what your ‘point’ is buddy.

No idea.

Fits in well with the general dowdy tone of Brendan's style. What's his wheeze this morning - the kids mental health will be irrevocably damaged by not being in school?? What an absolute load of mumbo jumbo rubbish. Who gave him that line - the teaching unions?

This show needs rotation of presenters, put Brendan on for a week or two but ring the changes then. Otherwise he'll have the listeners in a coma.

Ballsy sounds like a man desperately trying to NOT talk in a whiney Cork accent....but largely failing to achieve.

Agree with the rotation of presenters ..that guy Cormac O Hara who does the lunchtime bit after Ballsy is finished always impresses me ...like to see him getting a stint ....

This. I've never heard such nonsense.

And the end of the Dee Laffan Restaurant section was absolutely cringe

Dee:"and I'll post those recommendations up on my social media, on Instagram deelaffan..."
*Brennan cuts straight across*
Brennan:"well that will also be up on the RTE website because we want that traffic too"

He actually said "we want that traffic too"

It really was absolutely tactless.

"Moaning about their commute is all part of life." I dont know who that contributor is but she says this as if it's a good thing. The point being made is about the benefits of being flexible, you can still have your office but there's no reason to be chained to it 40 hours a week.

Yeah I don't think today was the right day to bring in Stephanie Preisner. She has struggled with the topics they have covered.

That Stephanie one is truly insufferable

His left wing bias would ruin the show

"I dont know why im contributing to this section because i have nothing to contribute..."

At least she's honest anyway. Two minutes on she's still "contributing" though.

My god...really nauseating. Never warmed to her, and this morning she really is cementing that...a fooking chancer if you ask me.

It's incredible listening to Brendan this morning though. He used to be the man making the controversial and unpopular opinions. Now he is playing goalkeeper on RTE's Sunday team.

Ballsy terrified of being sued

They need to change that RTE ad for COVID.

Not getting it...

Lost 150 + lbs a few years back...

Joe_ Public

Not very familiar with her and dont think I've seen her but the host seemed to make a big deal of her youth, as if she was merely representing the Instagram generation. Sounded patronising but then she did come across as being well out of her depth on nearly all the issues.

O Connor had his teeth pulled several years ago, to think he was once sort of edgy
