Lukey's craving for showbiz, especially for a man of his vintage, has certainly not gone unnoted amongst his friends.
Perfect opportunity to repeat: there's no climate crisis until the private jets are grounded. When the people making the rules act scared (i.e. fly commercial or Zoom meetings) then the rest of us will act scared. btw: there's absolutely ZERO chance of that happening!
Ginneral as I’m sure you know all these liggers are connected in some way.
The all know that any breach in the perimeter fencing means bad things happen to them all.
Thats why these print media types like to congregate around Ballsy’s show and surreptitiously come up with phrases
like “There’s a wonderful article from XXXX from the Business post” etc etc.
Trying to give the impression that they are way above the Ordinary Joe and know the inner workings of stuff.
They do in their mbollix, but will try to keep their snouts in the trough for as long as they can.
The little needle on my old analogue 'NKM-O-METER' was flicking like **** this morning - LO'N and Richard Hogan. That Hogan lad is on with Brendan (€1560 p/hr) O'Connor once a month. Also turns up on the other NKM Petri dish that is, VM's Tonight show regularly
The fact that Luke was practically part of the fixtures and fittings on Claire (€700 p/hr radio) Byrne's CB Live show, is wot done it for me
CB Live - recorded on the scaffold!
Lukey, Lukey, Lukey just back from Las Vegas took in a U2 show bet he didn't pay for it, now on about climate change.. Bono said to him "we can't deny India air conditioning".. Didn't know twas up to Bono what a palaver for a Saturday morning and don't start me about MickyD off down to Portugal for a month with another crowd of shysters and shysters mates when a zoom call would have been good enough for them... Ah but the amount of flying us down here at the bottom of the pile do is "problematic"
It's the NGO mention does it, clearly an up to the minute and enthusiastic scholar from YouTube University.
HOUSE on my far-right bingo card.
The Archduke forgot to mention that his friends were fully behind the idea of being sued.
Excellent post…..on the money.
Sometimes think RTÉ enjoys trolling. The interview with the Ukrainian woman, yes having to be in tents is awful. But you’ve left a war, as have 85k other Ukrainians before you to come to Ireland. We’re in the middle of a housing crisis, what do people expect. Also a doctor is there two days a week, more than some people can access. It really bugged me, which I believe is RTEs goal.
He did wallander too, couldn't warm to him at all in that either
I’m old enough to have seen many versions of Poirot or in particular MOTOE. I’d go so far as to say Brannagh’s Poiroit is a bad parody of Suchet’s. I haven’t watched the full first Brannagh remake….I started it on a plane and gave up rather early into it as he and it are so bad I couldn’t stay with it, and that’s a very rare thing for me movie or book wise, if I start something I’ll almost always finish it.
But it was that the critics hadn't bothered to watch any of the previous interpretations of Poirot which was a bit shameful, anyway it's Suchet all the way for herself, Brannagh is acting like hell while Suchet IS Poirot
Well, this is going back a few years now but when Roe and Jenn used to review movies and TV on The Last Word neither of them had seen a single episode of The Sopranos, The Wire, or Breaking Bad; all 3 shows at the time being essentially Top 5 in almost all tv critics’ lists.
You cannot be a tv critic if you haven’t not just watched, but studied the above shows.
Anyway, Branagh’s Poiroit is beyond bad. I’d give a film critic a pass on that.
edit: typo
Beefy is afraid of his life.
Brendan straight in with "steady there" when Pat Shortt says he didn't know if someone was Latvian or Lithuanian.
Good call.
Exactly, the radio panels are flat-out lying to us this morning. The majority of the population have already made it clear they are against the Govmt policies in question i.e. immigration policy, hate-speech (and they're too scared to conduct a poll to ask about gender in schools) The Govmt have equally made it clear we are not allowed to disagree and will not relent from funding endless NGO research to explain that anyone objecting to their radical policies are right-wing extremists. Modern Ireland indeed!
Gav Reilly out the gap on newstalk...enjoyed switching over there after the newspaper panel on 1. The two together made an enjoyable enough couple of hours.
Was it me or was Ballsy extra ‘jumpy’ this morning…. Not much point getting in a ‘panel’ if you keep interrupting them.
Great interview with Lol Tolhurst.
Some people are not accepting of the new Ireland apparently.
75% of the population in a recent poll.🇮🇪🤔
He decided to show up this week.
That's all I have to say really!
5 days per calendar week.
The film and TV section
They have a film 'expert' on, who was asked if the latest Branagh Piorot movie is better than the previous ones, to which the 'expert' replies "I haven't seen any of the previous ones".
What a pleasure this morning to hear guests being able to form their thoughts without being interrupted every scond sentence by BOC.
She actually asked one panellist 'What do you think ? ' rather than 'What's your reaction to what I think?'
That's when he's actually at work. He has more holidays pro rata than Joe.
What an absolute borefest this has become with panel after panel of talking heads, one the same as the other, never a contrarian view in case it might frighten the horses.. Rte certainly know how to kill a show, of course Brendan "we must be careful here" O Connor didn't help
Crazy stuff. …. 240k …. That’s why some folk are withholding license fee.
”C’mere to me Ballsy, you can only get away with this for a short while”.
Ah he's no loss anyway-I just wonder what we're paying him for, listen, c'mere to me.
Another day off for Ballsy this morning, despite being off a lot of his scheduled summer slots.
Great job if you can get it.
