    No big deal to me to wear a mask in healthcare setting or sitting beside a stranger in a bus or plane.

    It's Covid I want to stay out of touch with 🙂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 668 ✭✭✭mjsc1970


    But why would you wear one and be one of the 4% on PT. The other 96% are not worried about covid. And your (probably) cloth mask ain't protecting them. Do you think that mask is protecting you from the 96% ?

    Carmody... dial-a-crank.

    Like Peta, lost all credibility for most sensible people.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Yikes, that Carmody fella is off the wall.

    If PETA want to discuss something on the radio could they not find someone more coherent, less shrill and who can explain their concerns sensibly and rationally?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,512 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    No because they are nuts themselves. Telling people to have their pets killed as keeping a pet is unhumane.

    Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick on now ... superb human back story ..

    Fantastic interview with Noel Fitzpatrick.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,512 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Miss Woke clearly doesn't know that begging IS part of a certain culture that cannot be mentioned.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,226 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    According to this Lyn one in relation to Dublin City Centre, tourists are bad (she doesn't care about them she said) and beggars and open drug users are not the problem.


    Edit: Lyn Ruane - of Seanad Ireland fame. Wonder what she did to get that gig



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,512 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    If someone gave her a clatter on the street they'd 'need support'...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,226 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    There was a fella from the inner city today sentenced for raping a vulnerable young woman. He had 225 previous convictions.


    This is the kind of fella who needs support according to Lyn



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,580 ✭✭✭✭elperello


    Hardly considering that she is a survivor of rape herself.

    Twice elected to the Senate representing Trinity, a very capable young woman.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,563 ✭✭✭Jinglejangle69


    She’s an absolute idiot and sums up the entitled victim mentality that is rampant in this country.


    Remember she and Chu criticised the gards for the shooting of that lad in Clonee.


    Then told the country to kiss her arse when criticised for her words towards the gards.

    An elected rep telling the country to kiss her arse.

    Could anyone calculate roughly how much income he alone has generated for the legal profession?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,512 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    The very reason legal types have zero interest in at least curbing this. Cha-ching.

    Ah now, he wasn't a white Irish incel, the ones we're all supposed to be afraid of and source of so many crimes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,902 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    They were on about population control/crisis worldwide. But they also veered into the climate change stuff. It was grand until the fella casually threw out the following comment a ‘worldwide addiction to meat’.

    My first reaction was he must be ‘one of those’. Addiction really?

    Then I was thinking surely Climate Change is nature’s way of population control? Famine, floods etc.

    Would a bit of a cull be no harm? I mean Ireland would be packed now only for ‘the great hunger’.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,512 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Our addiction to f*cking and popping out more and more kids is far worse than the other 'addiction'. Less kids, less of us, less harm to the planet.

    Unpopular opinion, there were far too many of us pre Famine thanks to being an uneducated people being told what to do (or not to do) by religious. Something had to give.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,046 ✭✭✭hamburgham


    Guessing there wasn’t much else for them to do.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,748 ✭✭✭It wasnt me123


    Here we go, poor teachers.

    Nurses/doctors/OT/physios teachers etc should HAVE TO DO 2 years in the system before they flit off to Dubai or UAE.

    In relation to school planning, from my recollection with my child, the curriculum changed very little from one year to the other so what planning is involved in that - a few tweaks should suffice.

    The bigger problem is they only work part time in national school - between 4.5 and 6 hours a day - in france they work till 4pm

    We need a complete rehaul of the education system and stop blaming it on wages - they are well paid.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,748 ✭✭✭It wasnt me123


    I am not thick - the teachers in my child's national school were passing me out on the road leaving the school before I had even picked my child up at 2pm.

    The curriculum barely changed from year to year so there clearly wasn't alot of planning involved.

    You clearly are one of the elite pubic servants who get on your high horse when the hours and ridiculous holidays are questioned.

    Teachers are not planning every day into the wee hours by candle light - you can cut the BS - they are overpaid and underworked

    I own my own business - I'm not thick and I know exactly what I'm talking about and I can have an opinion if I so want - that is what boards is about - opinions - you can disagree with someone without throwing around insults. Perhaps you need to go back to school to learn some manners



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,512 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    If it's such a cushy number, why didn't you become a teacher??

    And riddle me this, why is there a severe shortage of teachers?



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 10,414 Mod ✭✭✭✭Jim2007


    But we all know business owners just work when they feel like it, scam people by over charging and avoid paying taxes with cash in hand jobs. At least you know what the teachers get up to.



  • Posts: 0 ✭✭ [Deleted User]


    This is the real conundrum, we can't get teachers at the moment, at these salaries and conditions, and people want to make them worse????

    Brian Johnson (AC/DC) is being interviewed - what a nice man he is.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,792 ✭✭✭ShamNNspace


    Note how Pat let the interview flow along with minimal interference



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,437 ✭✭✭jippo nolan


    He actually listened to Brian, unlike somebody else I could mention!

    yes Tubs, it’s you I’m thinking of!



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,046 ✭✭✭hamburgham


    My understanding was that there was a shortage of permanent positions, maybe something to do with the ridiculous 5 year career break allowing them to take off to the Middle East.

    Also, how come there are so few non Irish national teachers?. I gather the Ukrainian kids are streets ahead of their Irish peers in maths. Their teachers must be superior too. I bet every barrier imaginable will be put in front of any Ukrainians here who tried to get a teaching position.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,046 ✭✭✭hamburgham


    The interview with Martin O’Neil the other day was one of the most boring things I’ve heard in a long time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,016 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    I would assume that the Irish language would be the barrier to non-Irish becoming teachers.

    shouldn’t be for secondary.

    and even in primary, there could easily be work arounds. Swap with an Irish trained teacher for Irish classes.



  • Registered Users Posts: 811 ✭✭✭kazamo


    Not sure how workable that is……does the non Irish speaking primary teacher go into the other classroom and teach history to the students who have lost their teacher temporarily.

    Or do we need to have reserve teachers who can speak Irish to fulfill the Irish requirement. Might be just easier to hire an Irish speaking teacher in the first place.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,226 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    Since Eoin left OTB, the people they have in for a chat with Pat on a Friday morning are embarrassing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,528 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    I woke up earlier to hear two people debating the increasing in road tolls/road rage

    Mannix Flynn shouting at 100mph - blood pressure rising (even though still half asleep).....

    Some nice psychologist lady, voice of reason - and calm down a bit.....

    M Flynn, scattergunning anger and rage - bpm right back up again

    Nice lady - and, breathe....

    M Flynn - Shouty McShouty - heart racing again

    Nice lady - and, caaaalllllmmmmm down.


    I can't actually remember the details of the debate due to being half asleep, but if ever there was a lesson in HOW (or not) to conduct a debate/discussion, this was it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,902 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    I will have to catch up on that to hear it. Roddy Collins was good a couple of days ago - he was flogging a book though. Himself and Pat were getting on like house on fire.

    Roddy always seems like a big softie to me. I remember they did a behind the scenes thing with Monaghan United on Setanta. He was shedding a tear for the Monaghan lads who were going to lose their jobs.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Who's the Qutar regime mouthpiece on now?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,642 ✭✭✭RINO87


    This piece with the Qatari comedian, born in Dublin, is a bit awkward. Pat was 100% holding back and didnt want to ask any difficult questions, which was surprising.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,512 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Feck, missed that.

    Can't be much to laugh about in that benighted sandpit.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,512 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    People are so dense they have to be told not to buy pets at Xmas.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    I thought the way the Qatari comedian said that the Qatari people felt as though their team was "disrespecting" Qatari nation was an odd thing to say. Given that the lad is Irish born his handle on the English language is the same as mine.

    He was certainly on message.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,226 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    The fact that Pat didn't take that Qatari lad to task this morning is just another example of a broadcaster being afraid to open their mouth to somebody in case they are accused of racism.

    This clown said the stories of migrant deaths and mistreatment in the construction of stadia and human rights issues were mostly "clickbait". The brass neck of this fella to come out with something like that.

    Pat allowing it to go unchallenged was surprising. He probably had some "right on" producer in his ear urging him to keep stum.

    Another blatant example of hypocrisy that is all too apparent in the media these days. Following day after day of commentators and presenters giving out about Qatar and as soon as a Qatari is interviewed the tune changes. Gutless fcukers.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,792 ✭✭✭ShamNNspace


    Tis true, everyone thinks in their own mind they'd be an Oscar Schindler were they by some sort of magic transported back to the early 40s, the truth unfortunately is somewhat different, when the chance came to do or say something the survival instinct took over, whether that means putting your job or your life in jeopardy the action would be by and large the same except for those brave few imv



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭boardise


    Listening to yet another exchange on housing today with architect Orla Hegarty makes my head spin as every 'solution' seems to run into a roadblock or generate another problem. But overarching everything ...surely part of the overall amelioration of the housing scene must be a renewed commitment to decentralisation. A whole ring of cities and large towns are ripe for more development .

    Plus ,anytime I drive around the country or take the train I'm struck by the huge tracts of empty land ....no crops or livestock and many fields just full of weeds and thistles . Given that the national herd is likely to reduce and given the capacity of more people to work from home or indeed anywhere with broadband -the pressure must be taken off Dublin with more rational dispersal of personnel and facilities . Yet the word' decentralisation' was never mentioned.

    Then you run into the inevitable howls from Tofu-eating, push bike cycling, Dublin-centric Ireland that these remote sites can only be serviced by private cars!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭Technocentral


    Jaysus, I thought that bit of audio was from an Oul Wan in the 60s when it was trailed earlier, the accent but particularly the 21 grand children!
