Aah Francis, you need to read the thread and study the context.
I can’t hold your hand for another 10 or 15 pages.
So finally we have what you were riddling about.
So how does that explain the inordinate amount of disclaimers on this show when issues about wrongdoings of other ministers of this government haven't see so many.
Are you saying Mr Troy is particularly threatening or litigious?
My takeaway from yesterday's show was Alison O'Connors quip
"there's nowhere near enough fear in this house"
Think about it.... 🙂
None so blind as those who cannot see……….isn’t t that the auld saying.
You seem to have all the answers when the narrative is in your favour but a lot of blind spots when it’s not.
I don’t go down rabbit holes Francis, way too cool for that 😌
Still doesn't explain the inordinate amount of disclaimers, no matter how many times you rattle those shinners living in your head Brendi. 😉
Will Brendan and his crew change the theme music to the show after recent revelations?
Listening to his interview with Win Butler a few weeks ago, Brendan is obviously a massive fan.
Give RTEs previous on such matters, it will be pretty embarrassing for Brendan and Co.
I’m afraid given a post count of 55k plus Francis, most on the same theme, it’s not in my head they are rattling, one would opine.
STILL doesn't explain the inordinate amount of disclaimers. And you aren't going to even try, so I'll leave it.
I did mention rabbit holes Francis, so I’d say…..”good decision for all our readers”!!!
He has a comedian with a stammer on now-I'm saying nothing.
Francis Brennans ass'll be clean as a whistle when Brendan's finished with him this morning ... "we have no at your service, no travel programmes in the making at the moment HELOOO RTE" sez the bold montrosia made guy Francis, neck as thick as an asses collar that lad
Heh heh…. Nice one Sham… however I have to say auld Francis is a breath of fresh air.
I can’t help liking the guy…..fcuker is a lot more positive than some of the sour kernts Brendan has to interview.
Very formulaic these weekend programmes from O'Connor. Boring and predictable in their format.
Would someone in RTE there not give the presenter & producer a good kick up the arse and get them to change things up a bit.
He finishes off with a "a brilliant way to round off the week"........ Plays a minute and a half of We Are The Champions by Queen 🙄
Francis Brennan is a great man for the yarns.
Especially enjoyed the one about him leaving in a silk tie with donations to the local charity shop and a couple of weeks later seeing it being used to keep a farm gate closed.
Brendan's description of him as a "kind of national uncle" very apt.
Seems Ballsy wants to get in and get out as quickly as he can.
Seems to me he can’t wait to get the ‘live’ bit of the programme over before paddling into the calmer and less turbulent backwaters of one to one interviews with largely safe interviewees.
Each to their own but one of the last people I'd want as any sort of uncle.
It's only a lighthearted construct a bit like "national treasure", not to be taken too seriously.
As for his real nieces and nephews he has been very generous to them.
Presents and cards for every birthday and Christmas until they were 21.
On their 21st birthday they got a "round the world" airline ticket for two as a final gift.
Who's Francis Brennan's agent?
Why did he play We are the Champions?
Feck knows. It was really bizarre finish.
Link to the Queen’s Paddington sketch?
Funny to hear Brendan mention his “annual chat” with Jeffrey Archer. They probably have a list somewhere of when they can get away with calling him back in to pad things out again.
Surely the audience numbers for Ballsy's programme have plummeted since the days of Maid Marian ?
Always thought The Maid was grossly overpaid even for RTE...but in fairness she was an interesting listen...unlike the whine and C'meers that Ballsy comes out with.
This previously entertaining and interesting segment has dis improved drastically.
BO'C is actually marginally ahead of his illustrious predecessor.
2020 - bang up to date there alright
I quoted two links in that post but somehow the second one got lost in the Boards machine.
Got it this time.
Of course the one referring to the late MF is from 2020 because she passed away on January 2nd 2020 RIP.
Anyway the figures are in the links.
The show's dead. No sponsor, no real adverts - long rambling interviews to cover the fact that nobody wants to advertise - that's about it.
What about Francis Brennan's agent though. You seem to have missed my question as to who that agent might be.
In your opinion but still more people are listening than before.
What agent ?
He doesn't have one.
Is that a serious question?
Context dear boy, context?
