There’s an old song, (often sung at weddings), that has a line that goes something like “going to one wedding is the making of another”.
Maybe the same applies to funerals in these Covid times?

Hard to be a topic to be flippant about but in some ways LL have made it like that with every 3rd caller claiming that everything affects their mental health be that whacker not making his Communion because if suspected Covid, not getting your regular botox, having to run outside with the gyms closed and many more examples. I think we all have to becaware of our mental fitness and also ensure that those with serious issues get the help they need.

Cat has mentioned on here before an excellent interview a recent interview where a very senior doctor (cant remember his name) fave a real insight into how some modern approaches undermined treatment. I remember thinking alot about what he said after gearing it. Some things he said may have come across as provocative like saying people he deals with are his PATIENTS not service users for insrance.

On in the background today half listening and by the sounds of things im all the better for it.... The Duffster and McDermott tag team at the end.. lifes too short as it is without shortening it more listening to those two luudremawns

Fock me thank Christ I missed twodaze show, esp. if the übertwat himself was on as well as Herr Duffy.

My very first complaint to RTÉ over the content of this show many years ago was regarding Herr Duffy giving “advice” on a medical subject he was most definitely not qualified to talk on. His “advice” at the time was at best unhelpful and at worst, dangerous. That he continues to do this unchecked (to use his own verbiage) many, many years later is simply negligence at this stage. I’ve lost count of the amount of times he offers his “advice” (delivered in his serious voice) on matters that he should not be commenting on, be that suicide or a plethora of medical conditions. I wonder aloud will it take a death as result of this “advice” and a court case to stop this behaviour? The man is simply put, a disgrace.

You are absolutely correct, Butters.

When discussing these very serious topics, there really needs to be a expert person on to offer help and hope, it is just appalling to host such a bleak unmoderated (by some expert influence) show right before a weekend at this time. I don't know what the Liveline host/production team are up to, but it is quite despicable. In no way am I being critical of any caller today when I say this. It is the timing, the relentlessness, the lack of any expert advice offered. If you are in any way prone to depression, believe me, listening to this show in its format is entirely unhelpful.

all i could think of was Tommy Tiernan on the bus in Father Ted, listening to Radiohead as the colour drains out of the picture

Problem solved with de Bank Of Oireland fraud so to speak, Joe mustn't have been available so Baz got the gig...

Handy €50,000 €100,000 for Baz for a day’s work. And yes that’s the going rate for that type of gig. And that’s before the repeat fees. I sh*t you not.

I can't understand it in current climate, supply/demand, same as the gubbermint paying €25k a day for the Convention Centre, whoy, it's not as if Coldplay are going to be on the blower looking for the place the same day. €10k and a Choc Ice is me final offer so to speak.

Handy few quid they got but is there not more important things the gubberment could waste 230 k on or is this funding only for people who are from a upper social circle.
