    Where do you source the truth on the daily Irish case rate?
    Live stream the HSE news conference?

    What sources do you use to give you the detail that you base your wórld view on?

    That's good to know and a startling revelation. I'm shocked and stunned by this information.

    I watched the six one news tonight for the first time in ages. 140 odd new cases... and you could tell the presenter was almost orgasming saying it.

    Utter garbage place to get “news”.

    I used rely on BBC for my news for the past 20 years, far more reliable but lately they’re going down the same road as RTE.

    Yes, but in a cryptocurrency that hasn't been invented yet.

    One day Soros will bet against it and make billions as I lose it all. It'll be a black day.

    With that description I popped up the six one news on RTE player. Well that was a disappointment. If thats what you think orgasms look like I feel sorry for your other half.

    The RTE guys love covid.

    During lockdown I went for my 2km walk and walked across bridge on M50....only to encounter an RTE cameraman taking shots of cars driving along M50.

    We have to stop people travelling he told me. It's the only way.

    The only way I thought...what are you doing on his bridge pontificating about the only way.
