    Sounds riveting but I, unfortunately, missed that.

    Luckily, Claire Byrne addressed the Toy Show Musical mess this morning so Joe received zero calls about it this afternoon and was able to focus on the 2nd most pressing issue of the day. Caller driven show and dat.

    I see I missed a classic today.

    If there is any objectivity and sense of justice to be found in any of the Liveline team, the programmes on the Jays Fluid Wimmins football team of 50 years ago and today's show should make the top 10 low points of Two Twenty Two.

    Joe Duffy, de Christmas Unmusical

    Opening song:

    Dashing through the dirt In a one-horse open hearse

    O'er the fields we go 

    Crying all the way 

    Bell in church tower tolls

    Making spirits dark

    How sad it is to ride and sing 

    A mournful song tonight, oh! 

    Funeral bell, funeral bell, funeral all the way Oh, how sad it is to ride In a one-horse open hearse, hey! 

    Funeral bell, funeral bell, funeral all the way 

    Oh how sad it is to ride In a one-horse open hearse 

    Now the ground is grey

    Go out while you're young 

    Take the ghouls tonight 

    Sing this funeral song 

    Get a bobtailed bay 

    Two forty for his speed 

    And hitch him to an open hearse

    And you will take the lead 

    Oh, funeral bell, funeral bell, funeral all the way 

    Oh, how sad it is to ride In a one-horse open hearse, hey! 

    Funeral bell, funeral bell, funeral all the way

    Oh, how sad it is to ride In a one-horse open hearse 

    Oh, how sad it is to ride In one horse open hearse!

    I think I will bid this thread farewell for two 0 two two.

    Instead of doing dry January, it's a miserable enough feckin month as it is, I think I'll give up Liveline for the sake of my head. Its surely not worth all that pain (I will tell you about the pain some time Joe) for the very occasional Nugget of silver or even rarer Nugget of gold.

    Wising all the regulars here a good one.

    Joe will be in wind down mode, so to speak. Giddy with excitement at the prospect of the Grafton Street and de funny froyday gang who will get day release from de care home.

    I've no choice but to listen today though a little pretend Duffy-canteen-coddle-belly could get me out of it for a short while.

    Happy Christmas and New Year!

    This country established its own government – hopelessly imperfect though it may be – to serve and vindicate the needs of Irish people, first and foremost.

    The electorate are a huge part of the problem. You put shite in, you get shite back.

    If they were any good they would get published



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,771 ✭✭✭archfi


    'everyone of these bukes could sit proudly on any bookshop bookshelf in the country'

    Eh, they wouldn't sell, jackass!

    Has it really been a year since he's done this, or was it done a while back as well? It doesn't feel like its been that long since we've been through this.

    In fairness, some of these books can be a bit quirky. There's a fierce amount of sh*te published by regular publishers as well including books that would never see the light of day of it weren't for grants.
