Not a good look. I wonder did he go because this was going to come to light?

PK is just saying what NK told him to say. It's so obvious and PK should keep his nose out of this and shut his trap as it does not concern him, unless any attacks on his agent and his clients means PK can do as he likes.
No but I bet NK and his minions at NKM do.
I bet you sixpence it was solely for Niamh.
That's a untruth then if it was.
Mental illness is a terrible thing.
A shadow of discrimination and xenophobia hangs over the whole affair tbh.
Ah ya have to laugh
Maybe doing noel a solid. Taking one for the team?
No and it wasn’t properly questioned. And the way he said it was him gave a clear indication that it was nothing unusual for him and that he felt he deserved it
Next time he needs a lift anywhere my boot is available to start him on his way. Entitled creep
OfCom would investigate this, BAI now CnaM nowhere to be seen.
No to be fair that info hasn't shocked me anyway, or the fact that you believe there may have been a conspiracy.
I missed this. Why would RT expense a taxi to RTE for an external gig that he believed Renault were paying for? He was certain at the PAC that he thought the commercial gig was completely seperate to his RTE gig and tht he had no idea RTE were involed in funding it. RTE is not his employer, he is an independent contractor, why would he had assumed RTE would be responsbile for the payment for the taxi?
Should I be more shocked that Lottie is a trained dancer or that @ButtersSuki is?
I'm more shocked about that than the whole RT thing.
I just posted my Television Licence Stamp Saving booklet with €40 worth of stamps to the GPO asking for a refund. I did not mention the scandal as there clearly is no need to. My actions say it all. Thats 10 stamps over the last 10 weeks. The Dirtbirds will not refund you in the post office. Here is the address I used. The header or first line is mine to save confusion in the GPO.
TV Stamp Licence Refund

Are they special tv licence stamps or normal stamps to value of €40?
Shoulda wrote...

Dublin.
In keeping with the theme of the scandal I recycled a used stamp from a letter.
I lightly rubbed a tiny amount of white spirit on the back of the envelope.
The white spirt seeps through the paper and melts the adhesion of the back of the stamp in seconds.
It peels off beautifully and then I immediately apply it to a fresh envelope.
ProTip™ never put stamps tight up in the corner. Keep them down 2 cm or so - the post mark will miss the stamp thus keeping it clean.
I learnt this trick from RT/Nk years ago.
Your paid up for this year in any case, Stamps are not for the current year but for the following year.
Its the only way to get accountability.
True and false. If my licence is due on the 1st of September I would go in with my book 16 stamps or €64 and just pay the balance of €96 in cash.
I doubt they would refuse me and if so I'd just ask for €96 work of stamps and tell them to stick them into the book themselves.
I don't think so and I don't think that for 1 minute NK and RT believed their money was from Renault.
If the money was from Renault why was the payment made in a convoluted way?
Thanks for the tip. Its people posting to you that you need to tell. You could also ask them to post back stamps from previous letters you sent to them. You could save a fortune doing this.
And why would Renault be paying Tubridy for public events that they weren't having?
RT and NK said if they get confirmation that appearances aren't going ahead they have no issue paying the money back. But they still invoiced and accepted the money knowing the events were neither planned nor likely to happen.
😁
Pat Spillane used to get letters addressed Pat Spillane, Kerry, or words to that effect ;)
It works with franked stamps too. I send a lot of SAE - stamped addressed envelopes. This is how NK got his seed money together as a child of 4.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Renault would not be paying for non existent events but you can bet your bottom dollar RTE would.
What I think you have summarised is the symbiotic relationship between FF and RTE. It is true they say they relied on Tubridy for advertising revenue, but it was the institution which made him a “star” and pumped him up. Was it it Tubridy who was the star or was it RTE that gave him the exposure to become this star?
RTE airs the angelus, the news in this country, political history docs on things like the rising, the famine, the lockout etc. and they run Irish language programmes via TG4. This is the FF manifesto summed up in one short sentence. They are the ones choosing the programming and creating the content. And it’s all made to make us believe, they are the highest good and most integral part of this country. It’s a propaganda machine for the republican nationalists. It’s aimed at conservative Catholics and it’s a paean to FF.
So the question remains, does Tubridy have talent or is he a product of the machine, the lesser of all other “evils” and talentless stooge input because RTE couldn’t find anyone else. I believe it’s the latter. He hasn’t a charismatic bone in his body. He pines on about conscience and all the time backs himself as worth all this money. It’s utter hypocricy in the extreme.
Stars are made and not born.
Ive been going on about the FF/RTE insidious nature from the start of this thread.
100% agree with you. Its one big club and you aint in it but by fook do you fund it.
Seriously TG4 is independent except for some News and Current Affairs and some dubbed programming for children.
Do you think that RTÉ should not produce documentaries about the history of Ireland? Or do you think they put an overtly nationalistic view point on those documentaries?
