It's on regularly on one of the satellite channels (maybe Sky One?). Might give it a look some time, but probably not - TLJ annoys me, as does Colm Meany, and does Gary Busey, and that's before I get to...........

It's on prime video if you have that

It's aged pretty well...ish.

Whoy do they always moan, give out and rarely have solutions or positive suggestions. Has Joe asked them to work through mid term or Easter yet?

Joe is getting sick of the teachers, and rightly so

It’s probably a barrel of worms by now.

Can only assume that one of the three twins (who is a teacher) wants to work.

If he was offered their conditions he'd certainly turn them down.

Fairly poor, but more than a shop assistant.

EDIT: Higher than I thought, actually!

€25 - 39k per annum (2018 figures)

Lying scumbag Joe Duffy trying to lay blame on the public for this.

Absolute pond scum.

If the teachers don't want to go back they should all be put on the PUP. In reality, they probably should all have been on it as soon as the schools closed, if they had been treated the same as the private sectors workers.

No wonder she wants to go to work. She probably lives at home so she is sick of seeing her father at home everyday (expect between the hours of 1 and 3.30).

McDermotX · 20-01-2021 02:14PM

Then drop your union love......if there's so many who want to work, then act FFS.

Because that percentage sounds pretty concrete

I am sick of parents.
Constantly moaning.

The whole country is locked down and everyone is expected to stay at home, but schools should be just opened like normal??

It was crazy in november when the country was in level 5, but buses and luas were full with children going to school.
I was going to work, and felt bad for the teachers surrounded by 30 pupils everyday.

Its a great holiday, fresh air, good craic, beautiful scenery. Myself and Mr PC7 used to go at least twice a year, haven't gone last few years due to the smallies but hoping to bring them next year if world back to normal.

ButtersSuki · 20-01-2021 02:17PM

Says a lot that a sidebar conversation on 'Under Siege' got more posts than the show's topics. :rolleyes::pac:

God is good - he never gives you a short leg without giving you another one longer than it

Agree with this.
But if the country is locked down on level 5.
Then everything should be closed.
