A lame duck, OT again and maybe a lady in a bubble: The Late Late Show 14th January 2022

I agree. It’s too forced . And just way OTT, and her death has sickened me. But it appears to be getting hijacked now by many to push an agenda and narrative; a very divisive one!

RTE thrives on disease whether of the body and mind and then on death.

The uilleann pipes are pure sex.

I don't think twice about goingplaces but I'm always scanning my surroundings doesn't matter where I am, looking at cars passing,reg numbers, never wear headphones,taking a quick glance behind me if someone passes me. It's not that I'm afraid of been attacked because the chances of that are probably pretty slim but more so just been aware of what's going on around me

I think it is terribly sad, but I can't say I am grieving as Tubridy claimed.

If I was to grieve for every person I never met or knew, then it would be a lifetime of grief, I think its really the most awful situation for her family, friends, colleagues and the people who knew who to be in.

I knew a person who was murdered, he ran a shop, got shot during a robbery, would talk to him every week, a very nice and pleasant man, because I knew him that had a bigger impact.

It feels weird that we are being basically told we have to hijack the real grief of others and make it our own.

rte have behaved terrible on this topic. They are a disgrace

Absolutely shameless.

I go for a walk every morning before work, the oul mental health and all that. Its dark when I leave and dark when I get back. Anyway the other morning - prior to Ashlings murder in tullamore - a woman came out from an estate and walked straight in front of me. I was super conscious of her nervousness - I had to pass her - no path on the othersode of the road for me to cross over and get around. I was walking quicker than her and obviously gaining. She kept looking over her shoulder. What do I do? Match her pace and hang back - but then I'm stalking her? Eventually, I caught up, gave her a wide berth and passed - she jumped as I did. I understand 100% her nervousness, but what's going to happen in future? Does she ring the guards? Does she turn around and scream or mace me? Should I stay at home when it's dark? Will a squad car arrive at my door because I'm seen to have intimidated someone?

This is a mindless and shocking murder, no doubt about that. Hopefully it opens up the debate about how women feel when out and about, and how this can be addressed, but also men just going about their business innocently could quickly end up in trouble.

My God these people

The narcissism

It almost reminds me of an episode of Black Mirror somehow.

I was flicking through Instagram & Twitter earlier. Vigils being held in shopping centres in another county. The various hashtags. The use of terms such as we've just heard: "quote unquote rare" crime.

It's surreal.

A thundering disgrace, those who doubt it, should have been listening to the claptrap on the live line the past few days, it was outrageous 😳
