Exactly I looked at a small house near croke park at one stage, I talked to a mate who had an apartment nearby and said don't do it...unless you want to be locked in with no access in and out by car and people pissing on your doorstep.

I lived 50m away from Croker for 4 years, never had an issue. Access was never an issue, unless it was directly after a match or concert for about 30-45 mins. You could usually leave the car at the barriers, go home and pick it up an hour later. Never once had an issue with access before a match or concert.

A couple of times someone plssed up against a tree but nothing terrible, concerts were worse than matches for drunken behaviour.

All told I used to love the atmosphere around a match, especially around big matches. I'd move back there in a heartbeat.

Hang on though, Joe won't read statements from anyone else because he can't be bothered going through pages of crap but he reads RTE's statement in full from start to finish?????

Eileen (Mick's Daughter) Dunne reading the news about the party. I wonder if she kept a straight face?

Saw that pic earlier and wondered if she was pissed off not to be one if the namechecked RTE stars a la Miriam, Dobbo or David McCullagh. Actually sat nect to her table at breakfast in a hotel in Castlebar last year and she looked very well in the flesh. Healthy breakfast too.

Heard her in the 5 oclock news on the radio coming home abd it was hilarious imagining her preparibg to read the script about SOME RTE staff not followibg the guidelines before introducing a report that quoted some of the other talent apologising for their transgressions.

Dont think this is a huge scandal but it is nice to see a bit of aquirming after them being so dogged in all things lockdown and so agressive about the failings if others.

Gotta laugh at that RTE campaign about truth in the news especially about it being an impromptu event, ffs As other posters mentioned the RTE Guide mock up and the balloons hardly just rocked up at 2pm. Maybe though we are being a bit harsh and it was just another example of RTE supporting the oorts and oortists - a graphic designer for the mock up, balloon blow uppers etc.

Dobbos apology was impressive. Must tune into Miriam on Sunday to hear how genuinely sorry she is for her error of judgement and if there is any trace of tears as she wells up.

She might though hit the jackpot if her best buddy Margaret Cash was one of those holisaymakers on her way to Spain for a wedding. Some of her kids must be of marrying age by now.

Maybe Joe should change his ad break intro to 'Hands Off Staff" as a reminder to the talent on what they need to do?

I see the Sambo Academy on the map. Is that where those callers who didnt get the points for the Beauty and Make Up Academies go to learn about baps and rolls?

Yes, when they don't make the grade for the Barista school. Failing dat it's Doggie grooming/pampering or whatever yer having yourself.

Any idea why joe wasn't at the party?

Sure i heard it was on at 2pm last Thursday. Checked back and at that time Joe was talking to the salt of de earth street traders Sadie and Lillie about how they wouldnt be able to sell their high quality mercandise from reputable sources on Henry Street and how it was wrecking their buzz/mental health.

You forget Joe is a man of the oeople with a strong work ethic; mar dhea, so . couldnt just drop his wunderful wunderful listeners who need to discuss their pain and suffering with him.

The first thing that came into my head was that a racially charged cultural throwback had its own school.

We've a mate called Sambo. Comes from him as a kid always wanting to have sandwiches instead of dinner, so his older brothers called him Sambo*, name stuck, he's 48 now.

We've another mate from school called Nigel, his nickname as a small kid was obviously 'Ni**er'. He was called that until he was about 30, we still call him that when we're on our own with him and nobody is in earshot, he's hitting 50 too.


*'Sambo' being salt-a-dee-earth Dubahlinese for 'sandwich'.
