I'd take stories of 'serious' coke addiction(especially in Ireland of the eighties) with a pinch of salt if that's not mixing metaphors somewhat. It wasn't exactly boomtime London or New York in Dublin back then. Quite the opposite.
It tends to be overstated and usually the source of the stories are from the 'addict' themselves. Cagney is a classic example of this.

I take alot of the "2 bottles" of vodka a day"stories from a lot of the celebs with a large dose of salt as well

That's like anytime you hear the boxer Kenny Egan on about his drink addiction, you would swear he was a down and out alcoholic living on the streets.

"We had 34 staff, we were down to 3 and now back up to 12."

Firm bollocking on the way for programme researcher later methinks.

He’d a serious coke addiction in the 80’s, came out the other side.

I found it a little odd how they pussyfooted around the topics of drugs, only being willing to say that he lived the "excesses" that came with being famous. Seemed like Brendan was deliberately told not to mention drugs specifically, or maybe he was worried about some RTE stars being included in the group of those who were similarly excessive at the time.

The topics and guests are just all so forgettable in the end.

RTE is afraid of their lives to rock the boat on anything, Travellers, women, politics, Covid, asylum seekers, you get the drift. It is more bland than tepid water most of the time.

They’re all the same. Column inches and publicity

Worst con of all was Colin Farrell

Ridiculous immature stories contrived by him and his team about him being some Hollywood hellraiser..

And all the recent cons about being all clean and mature and zen!

Fooking lightweight mouthpieces the lot a them!!

You are correct Bee.

I am fully convinced that the print media have a lot to answer in relation to stirring stuff up in the Covid and other issues.

Most of them negative and most very obviously tilted towards stirring up the populace and selling newsprint.

Think the AZ issues.......

Kind of hit and run attacks....

What's there to "rock the boat" with Covid?

The fact that it’s pretty harmless to at least 98% of people.

I thought he was pretty bad though. Kenny Egan (the alter ego of the boxer Kenneth Egan) used to go on the beer for days on end from what I remember. Serious binges.

That's not even remotely the same thing as saying its "pretty harmless".
