    Indeed Butthers, indeed, I understand all the little nuances, even can remember when the great tsumani happened over Xmas, ten of thousands drowned.

    Not a word about it on RTE news for around two days.

    Rushed the Birdman out there in an effort to catch up.

    You clearly don’t remember it then because it was wall to wall on UK and European tv for days. And I said arguably up to that point the biggest story.

    Coming in 2-23:

    ”A history of de shoyte served up on Da LahvLahn from de year 2-10 to twoday so to speak, during which time de host made about €5million believe it or not” by ButtersSuki.

    I think it was a big story for about a day. A story with no real relevance for Irish people as well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    That's an astonishingly big Get Ourt Of Jail Free Card you've given the national broadcaster TBH. It's considered one of the Top 20 events of the 21st Century by many sites - I just googled out of curiosity. But hey, if global events aren't of concern to Irish people......

    I agree with you just not on that story.

    They've already gone into Christmas mode on RTE with reduced bulletins.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    There was a movie made about the event, and numerous documentaries. I am genuinely shocked you don’t seem to think this was a global event, and therefore relevant to Irish people.

    Just not a huge story outside of America. Americans loved it.

    Story of his Dickensian boyhood, toiling in the kitchens of Dubbalin

    "Picking people up at the airport... beautifully random"

    Sugar on the Frosties this morning, methinks

    "you obviously have not been listening to me, Phillip" LOL


    and Phillip lets out a big audible sigh in his interaction with Minister McConalogue

    and again he says "you obviously have not been listening to me this morning, Phillip"

    David Novaro on for his almost daily slot.............

    What will he & Claire do when all this covid business is over?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭jippo nolan


    Is she still broadcasting from her garden shed?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,226 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    On today's show 'chatgpt' came up for discussion, the big step in Artificial Intelligence.

    Claire asked it to write a lullaby......priceless !

    Sums up how far this programme has fallen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,761 ✭✭✭Pelvis Parsley


    Caught it today (briefly) in the car.

    You guessed it folks, fvcking COVID again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,579 ✭✭✭cozar


    Jesus all Irish stations will be saturated with da banshees today.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,603 ✭✭✭leath_dub


    First item on every RTE news bulletin today. I'd this really the most newsworthy story today?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 19,924 ✭✭✭✭elperello


    Congratulations to all associated with The Banshees of Inisherin.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,251 ✭✭✭avfc1874


    Claire gave Simon Harris the easiest of interviews this morning, no criticism of any thing from the government agreed with everything he said, protesters= far right, we have no economic migrants, that's all say so,

    It was like a couple having a cosy chat over coffee , it's no wonder the government think they're doing a great job when MSM don't call them out

    That was interesting yesterday. No surprise to hear that smart phones are sending out signals all the time to other devices, which can be used as a way of figuring out where you are, which can be used as a way of better targeting ads on our phones.

    But he said something to the effect of our phone having beacons that ping information, and that if a shop also has one of these beacons, then because they know the phone, they probably know some more about you... for e.g, if they know that you've a brand new iPhone then that in itself could say something about you. So my question is, if I were a shop owner how do I get one of these beacons? What's involved? And if you want to turn off the beacons on your own phone, it involves something going into 'bluetooth scanning' or 'WiFi scanning'

    The Luvvies will be on ‘full gush’ from now until these events are over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,761 ✭✭✭Pelvis Parsley


    That or Covid.

    I don't know why they bother to have this female dermatologist on every couple of months. All she ever tells people is "go to a dermatologist". They should charge her for advertising. She basically tells every texter to pay her and she'll tell them what they need to do.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,251 ✭✭✭avfc1874


    That's the same with most of these so called experts 🤔, fee from rte and then sell their wares, double bubble

    Wow, whoever is writing their profiles is earning their money,

    As the saying goes you can't polish a turd, but obviously you can roll it in glitter

    This is a very sad story.

    I notice there is no mention if Natalie had a partner or no mention of the father of her baby. I would say this family know who is responsible but cant say publicly. I hope they get justice.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 24,838 ✭✭✭✭dxhound2005


    He mother said in the interview that Natalie and her partner (without saying he was the father of the unborn child) had already discussed and agreed the name for the child.

    It is already public knowledge that the police believe she knew her killer.

    "Police have revealed that they do not believe the suspect in Natalie McNally's murder is a risk to other women. In a press conference on Thursday, the PSNI revealed that they believe McNally knew her killer and that it was a 'targeted' attack." (05 January).

    I've no doubt that she is outraged but she shouldn't keep saying she doesn't want to make a fuss.
