She can generally handle herself well on pure political and economic items but on nearly everything else she is lost at sea and has near to no ability to freestyle with guests if it veers off track or goes of script. She either asks stupid questions, repeats the guests points or goes quiet.

I generally either tune out to listen to music or switch station but sometimes I'll tune in blind hope that it'll be better. It rarely is.

Haha this is so true.

Caller: "Andrea this particular situation caused me to lose my job and my husband and my legs and arms fell off and I went into a terrible depression"

Andrea: "........ And how did that make you feel?"

After much hyping of the Cocaine item it turns out to be a damp squib and the former druggie should have used a voice changing machine to make himself understood. :rolleyes:

Del.Monte · 05-07-2021 11:15AM

More crap from some legal eagle (?)woman who claims to have no connection with Gardai kicking up over new Gardai rules on haircutting, tattoos etc. As usual Andrea is clueless but thinks Gardai should be able to have green hair and wear t-shirts. :rolleyes:

If you're stupid enough to get an obvious neck or face tattoo and surprised you cant get a job in a public facing role that isn't a hipster cafe or a tattoo parlour well that's on you.

Mary sounds like fantastic craic.

05-08-2021 11:41AM

Oh my God this lad is so aggressive.

Indestructable · 05-08-2021 11:42AM

Serious crank alright

05-08-2021 11:43AM

James go have a lie down for yourself.

12-08-2021 11:18AM

Andrea is not the person for this segment.

09-09-2021 11:36AM

This lad 🙄

She is an absolute pain in the hole is Gilligan

StevenToast · 11-11-2021 01:43PM

Newstalk is muck

Pussyhands · 11-11-2021 01:51PM

Gilligan is out of her depth. Wouldn't put her on a regional talkshow

12-11-2021 12:20PM

Interesting. The last thing I wanted to do was traipse around having photos taken but I knew I'd regret it if I didn't. I had no more interest on the day in them.

‘So you took pictures in the park for your wedding and no one said anything? Nothing at all? Oh…sounds like you had a lovely day’

15-11-2021 12:20PM

So if you don't have Covid but have something else you should still isolate?

Our venue had its own 'grounds' so plenty of photo opportunities. I was ready for bed at 3pm though. Wet grass, ridiculous dress, bouquet bigger than me head, barriers to comfort Emmet. There's definitely a market for 'bridal tracksuits'.

Sorry, I was referring to that “segment” where they had a bride on who’d taken pictures in the park but had no issue with it. Not what Andrea et al were looking for.

I’m sure your photos are great. A professional photographer is essential, even though it can go on a bit too long when you just want to get back to the party.

Might I suggest a comfortable, yet fancy, trainer to go with the tracksuit “idea”? The feet can take an awful hammering is the formal wedding shoes.

Amusing listening to the show earlier today, discussing the problem of tinkers trespassing on farms , suffice to say this wasn't highlighted

Ha, yes. Just random people who happen to barge through hedges with dogs, hop over gates into private yards, etc.

19-11-2021 12:17PM

Sit down dear. Have a cup of tea

19-11-2021 12:32PM

It's the deer man.

whisky_galore · 19-11-2021 12:34PM

Oh that Limerick we're all cruel to animals campaigner.

He must be fierce craic.

19-11-2021 12:34PM

If Pat Kenny has done the Covid scare mongering to death than Andrea shouldn't follow up with more Covid chat. Give it a rest.

whisky_galore · 19-11-2021 12:40PM

Head to head with John from Cork, clash of the whingebag titans.

Oh yes they are!

Bobby there is no dodging Covid.

Comhrá · 17-02-2022 12:06PM

Andrea's back talking about 'defibulators' again today. Why on earth does a presenter on national radio not know how to say defibrillator? She's very amateurish. Would do grand for some of the local radio stations.
