The Great Thread of Indifference: The Late Late Show-Friday 1st October 2021

Sorry, I almost forgot...I started celebrating St. Bob Geldof's 70th birthday a little early-he features this evening, in fact it seems the whole programme is dedicated to him.

"Host Ryan Tubridy will be joined in-studio with Geldof and his wife Jeanne Marine, children Pixie and Tiger and sister Lynn.

Also, Geldof will receive a special birthday wish from President Michael D Higgins.

The Chair of the Elders and former Úachtaran na hEireann Mary Robinson will speak about her relationship with Geldof, his vital role as a humanitarian and his well-known powers of persuasion.

Also paying tribute on the night will be The Boomtown Rats, Midge Ure, Andrea Corr, Imelda May and many more."

Pretty much a tribute show, this.

Oh God! This is going to be a strange watch for me.

Firstly there's the moaniness.

Then he had 2/3 decent songs, I Don't Like Mondays, Rat Trap, Banana Republic but thinks he's up there with Bob Dylan and the Beetles.

And he never invited Phillo to Live Aid.

On the credit side what he did in 1984/85 for famine relief in Ethiopia was amazing and unprecedented. Shur Happy Birthday Bob!

Was he in wham?

elperello · 01-10-2021 9:05pm

I'm going to watch it.

01-10-2021 9:06pm

Gawd, it’s very quiet in here tonight. 😐

Samsgirl · 01-10-2021 9:08pm

So Tiger Lilly, tell me how it felt when your parents died.

Do you miss them?

So, how did ye feel when Peaches died? Were ye sad? How do ye feel now?

CH3OH · 01-10-2021 9:10pm

Thanks for starting the thread.

As a special treat Bob, we will be giving you a free haircut live on the show.

Followed by a wash and disinfecting.

The Silver Branch · 01-10-2021 9:18pm

One thing I'd say will happen is Bob will get annoyed with Tubs questioning and give him a few verbal lashes.

Celticshine69 · 01-10-2021 9:19pm

Finding new boards harder than ever. Here now though. Not even under my own name i had for last 6 years.

CH3OH · 01-10-2021 9:20pm

Bob is worth a few bob

I only read this today:

A lot of his wealth came from:

"The original idea of Survivor was developed by Charlie Parsons in 1994 under the name Castaway. Parsons formed Planet24 with Bob Geldof to produce the show"

Tubridy fawning over "Sir Bob" for 2 plus hours.....

I literally would rather look out the window watching the rain for 2 hours....

walshb · 01-10-2021 9:33pm

TheRiverman · 01-10-2021 9:34pm

Weak bladders and that Lenor ad. FFS.

walshb · 01-10-2021 9:37pm

Live Aid a fooking con!

walshb · 01-10-2021 9:38pm

Give us your effing money. Great lad was owl Bob for asking others to fund his ego!

Welsh Megaman · 01-10-2021 9:38pm

No Owl 😐️

The Silver Branch · 01-10-2021 9:40pm

He's aged well 🤭

Welsh Megaman · 01-10-2021 9:40pm

"And now we have a video message from Johnnie Fingers..."

Jinglejangle69 · 01-10-2021 9:40pm

Heard Bob refer to Louis capaldo as a fat doofus you would laugh at in school in an interview last year and that told me all I need to know about him.

Horrible trait in a human.

He's not fooling me.

Ol' Donie · 01-10-2021 9:41pm

That's a tune.

And you can take that to the bank.

Welsh Megaman · 01-10-2021 9:41pm

Ray Winstone on guitar?

SEPT 23 1989 · 01-10-2021 9:41pm

First up on his own birthday

Dr. Bre · 01-10-2021 9:41pm

I don’t like the late late show

01-10-2021 9:41pm

"And the lesson today is how to die"

Tubs just creamed himself.

Quantum Erasure · 01-10-2021 9:41pm

painful..

TheRiverman · 01-10-2021 9:42pm

The sound is ****. I am listening through a Sony soundbar and subwoofer which is brilliant for music, but RTE sound is awful.
