Mark Pollock remained friends with those home owners, it wasn’t a revenge thing, he needed to get an awful lot of added adjustments to his living environment and the payout was for that, purely an insurance transaction there for a highly unusual and awful accident.
Read my post I said “Folks might think he had a dog in the fight”
And where did you get that information?
I don't usually listen to BOC on Sunday but was on a 3 hour drive today and listened to that "wan" on about her ice swimming. Glad to hear it wasn't just me who thought she came across as extremely self obsessed. If you want to swim at zero degrees in the Berings Sea go ahead, knock yourself out! But its borderline dangerous and I say this as someone who swims all year round in Ireland.
She was very hard to listen to, completely and utterly self obsessed. As another poster said maybe her family sponser her to be away swimming in the Cape of Good Hope. She got way too much air time.
From folks…
Brendan falling over himself with the disclaimers this morning on the thorny subjects of TV Licence/Broadcast Fee….and The Wolfe Tones. Some shrill voices and “won’t someone please think of the children” attitudes on the panel.
If you’re looking for a migraine I’d strongly suggest tuning in.
I'm on my knees thanking my lucky stars I wasn't reared by Sarah Carey.
One of the panelists is fine with refugees being put into tents in a field, yet 5min earlier she was apoletic about the lyrics of a song.
Priorities, all, wrong.
indeed.
“they have shelter, 3 meals a day, and wifi….” was a highlight.
Ah the oul Wifi that's important
It is for tracking them down to pay the broadcast charge.
Probably essential for keeping in touch with relatives and news from home.
Every time Sarah Carey is on, they always forget to mention that she's a screaming blue shirt
So it’s all grand then?
And a proven liar.
Ah yes , that would explain why SF lackeys and fellow travellers dislike her. As we well know , SF would have no truck with anything that smacks of lying or hypocrisy.
Another day off for Ballsy this morning, despite being off a lot of his scheduled summer slots.
Great job if you can get it.
Ah he's no loss anyway-I just wonder what we're paying him for, listen, c'mere to me.
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”.
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
That's when he's actually at work. He has more holidays pro rata than Joe.
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?'
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".
5 days per calendar week.
He decided to show up this week.
That's all I have to say really!
Some people are not accepting of the new Ireland apparently.
75% of the population in a recent poll.🇮🇪🤔
Great interview with Lol Tolhurst.
Was it me or was Ballsy extra ‘jumpy’ this morning…. Not much point getting in a ‘panel’ if you keep interrupting them.
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.
