    Caught the last 5 minutes so heard an addition to pets of the Pandemic and a wonderful, beautiful, amazing poem.

    The GAA bashing would only annoy me so won't listen back.

    Actually I think I'll swerve live Liveline so to speak over the next 6 weeks for the good of my mental health.

    I'll ask here everyday did I miss any gold and listen back if there was any.

    If I happen to find a cure for CV-19 in the meantime I'll be sure and hand it into the nearest presbytery.

    A new poem:

    GAA
    DNA?
    Nor for gays,
    Is that ok?

    Football matches,
    Played in batches,
    Using hurleys like hatchets,
    Leads to band-ages.

    Dublin, Cork, Kerry, Tyrone,
    Going home from Coppers on yer own,
    Marty's party, hale and hearty,
    Tubs and Joe more arty farty.

    Copying and pasting that for an "English" mate of mine. He was born in London to Irish parents and came over when he was about 10. Went back for a few years in his late teens. He gives out about everything Irish and hates the GAA with a vengeance.

    Worst type of person. Know the sort.

    Believes everything they read in the Daily Express, yet think they are liberal/cosmopolitan, usually imply they freed themselves from ‘de Cathlik’s in Éire’, think the North is an Irish problem “we” caused.
    Happy to have an Irish passport, than a .... blue one though.

    Pretty sure it’s a syndrome/inferiority complex amongst his hosts.

    Probably teased as a child here or over there.

    The Geldof effect

    Wat did I miss? Worth listening back when I walk Suki at midnight, if I get out at all..........

    Not worth it but I noticed he seemed districted.
    Then he says he has 15 screens in front of him.

    He changed that to 4 screens and was watching what was going on in Dail Eireann.

    This while talking to a caller.

    I take it you're not speaking from a professional position there.:rolleyes:

    There are some of us who were born in Ireland to Irish parents and who are incredibly proud to be Irish who have no time for the GAA.....or rather "some" GAA people. I like watching hurling, incredibly skillful game. Football bores me to tears however. This messaging being espoused by the GAA heads at the moment that "it will lift the whole country" etc. in the face of the available evidence to the contrary and their behaviour during the summer summoning the CMO to them to explain his actions (LOL) were typical of their parochial small-minded thinking.

    I represented Ireland in my chosen sport (obviously not GAA); am I less Irish as a result of a dislike for GAA? Or am I more Irish having represented my country than someone representing their county? Text 51551 with yer answer.

    Why does the GAA remind me so much of the Catholic Church, before it became a non entity.

    Fun fact: I learned that whole dance one afternoon. I used to "perform" it on certain occasions for shlts & giggles. It's been a while.



    Great film.

    Oh I hope not-definite pain in the arse potential there.

    She's probably all over social media, pontificating to fellow Karens.

    What is it with RTE and beauty salons and hairdressers? One in Ennis, I think, was part of the first story on the news last night. They've had their fair share of "sympathy" from RTE since March. Hell of a lot of other trades and businesses are suffering too. Most of what I do (or used to do) involves spending 2 to 14 days in peoples houses in different rooms. I can't do that while they are working from home and have children off school. They don't want me there and I'd prefer not be there either. I don't want to put their or my families at risk.

    They are beloved especially of de salt'a d'eerts or those verging on whackeressness. My mother used to remark on the "bingo hairstyles" as she termed the rigidly tight curly hairstyles frozen in time with layers of hairspray and either jet black, bright red, or yellow... and we're not talking funky or goth colour here, just unimaginative lack of divergence from standard hairdresser colour of the 1980s. Now de eyebrows must not lose shape nor de lips der pout or der will be mental health issues.

    Bryan Rubriddy was going along with the hairdressers and admonishing listeners for even thinking of using "dangerous box dye", and advising people to let themselves go grey or mousey whether they wanted to or not rather than "damage" their hair in such a way that it would take a fortune at the hairdresser to undo it.

    See my cheeky tweet on da Lahvlahn twitter feed ;)

    Genetics caller. My mother's eventually half fell out sans chemicals an dat. Or else she took a witch's brew. If you have de stubborn wiry hair and not too many male androgen you'll retain it well. I have a rainbow of hair colours filling up de en-suite, and whatever takes my mood it goes onto my head.

    Matty Matticks is not his strong point as you know - wat is his strong point sez you?

    Wat colour were de screens?

    He has two PC screens plus two iPads.

    The PCs were probably blue screen. :)

    I can't see Grafton Street going on this year.

    No out door fees.

    Have you tried Mr Sheen? Shines umpteen things clean.

    Thwe Bingo has me completely confused. I won't be taking part in it but I'll be giving a few quid to a suicide charity. I'v been doing so since the loss of my friend a few years ago.

    Did I get the name of the priest right at least?
    It was in a registry office so no priest, but there will be no circular firing squad caller

    Even the ad for Liveline during Tubridy is misery p0rn.

    I'm still stunned that Joe can twist a silly call about a medal getting mislaid in the mail into the caller reliving the childhood trauma of a house fire. That's not normal - he needs professional help.

    My TV Licence fee is due this month and it pains me more than usual to pay it.

    Its been a terrible week of shows already Joe.
