    That weird awkward silence after the music act finishes is now gone.

    The first two Interviews were top class then went meh and yer man in the leather waistcoat can keep his false equivalences and dodgy fashion sense.

    Yeah, they wouldn’t have risked it without a big amount of anti-rejection in body already as there’s so much tissues in an element the size of an arm. As per primary ethical protocol the non-experimental transplant had to be a proven life-saving measure, which it was (after second better matching transplant); the second was a a life improvement measure whose best success, would be without greatly added endangerment of life. The protocols in these matters have to be very complex. It’s inspirational to see him functioning so well!

    This chick took the wrong door in RTÉ. She was meant to go into the operation transformation program.

    I don’t know how to post a link but there’s a great documentary about this arms transplant on RTE series “ doc on one “ . The full story is covered in detail and it’s fascinating. I just happened to listen to it only this week.

    Heading into the operation the surgeons told him that the absolute best result would be arms that he could bend at the elbow so it looks like things worked out much better than expected.

    Better episode this week. Where the show really shines is giving exposure to these people with amazing stories but who not everyone would necessarily have heard of.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,204 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    This rapper guy has an interesting past.

    Fascinating interview by Tommy with the electrician who had the arms transplant.

    That was a very interesting question about his fingerprints. By the look on his face, I don't think it was something Felix Gretarsson had ever fully considered. He went on to explain how the new arms had adaped in to his skin colour since the operation, and even the dark, curly hair had changed on them, and eventually it became the same as his own.

    Got me thinking, Is there any possibility that the original pattern of his own fingerprints will also return over time?

    Tommy Tiernan show with Patrick Kielty in particular. Very personnel, so emotional. Thought proving too. Certainly made people think about how people from the North are perceived and thought of by people in the South.

    The discussion about a unified Ireland will bring many changes - for all, but it was so very insightful. How the South will need to change. More so - in my opinion then the North in a number of ways, from obviously nearly 2 million people in systems, to political changes.

    "we're the cooks who couldn't cook"

    So like every cook. No one comes out of the womb making carbonaras.

    "influencers" are just the worst.

    Great interviews again.

    It always helps when the people been interviewed are willing to engage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,953 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Agreed, just saw that episode now. No tune/melody to it? All I got from it was she was half talking/giving out about something and someone. There was a few oohs' in it.

    I am glad it is not just me. Was half thinking I was being unfair or not 'getting' the 'vibe'.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,933 ✭✭✭✭elperello


    I thought that RK did engage but just on his own terms.

    True to form so to speak.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,953 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Gary Neville got a fair bit of info out of Roy Keane on a walk with his dog.. Maybe Tommy should have brought Roy on his wander down the West? Talking to Puffins and the like. And putting the walking in slow motion.

    Is that what they were? 3 minutes of it and I fast forwarded. First thought was I thought they were going to be going on about eating healthy. But that didn't make sense. I think they were stuck for a third guest slot. And they landed Tommy with those pair. Once yer one said 'it is not a long story', and Tommy said 'try and drag it out'. That was my signal for fast forwarding. Maybe other people enjoy it, I don't know.

    I got the impression that the Dub rapper fella would be very good if someone wrote him decent lyrics. It just sounded like something he did in five minutes, and the rest said that's grand.

    Yer wan in the band has a good voice on her, and they have interesting musical sounds. Seems to be good potential there if someone got a hold of them.

    Faye O'Rourke is a great singer, especially in the bands previous incarnation as 'Little Green cars', but truthfully, I haven't yet heard any of their current songs as 'Soda Blonde' that I'd consider a good, melodic, strong tune, suitable to her voice.

    They need to write a few belters again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 827 ✭✭✭farmingquestion



    I think it's a sign the show is running out of guests. They'll go more and more for social media people with some following.

    It's only a matter of time before an Only Fans worker is on, or someone who lost 10 stone and has a social media following etc. Those types.

    If that was Roy engaging I'd hate to watch an interview where he wasn't.

    He said during the interview he was embarrassed drawing his wages at Celtic because he was unable to perform well because of injuries.

    He should have been embarrassed collecting his fee for that interview in my opinion.
