Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

Glad the young lad got his instrument back 😁

I once “updated” a couple of broadcasters’ Wikipaedia pages… a bot undid it all about 5 minutes later, but not before I got an amusing screenshot… which I’ve lost ☹️

Ready, set, in my Bet Lynch gear, for departure to Montrose

Tea & biscuits funded by your license fee

I’m in the hospitality room used for Late Late show guests. When Subsidy was hosting it the room had been filled with pictures of him, Patrick Kielty doesn’t even have one picture of himself on the wall, the man just isn’t egotistical

Is that you, Joe?

Ah Jeff, lay off the aul stone throwing there would ya

Do you never consider I might be a bit tongue-in-cheek?

I know nothing about your life or hardships, all of us have them, but I don’t particularly see anyone wanting to swap their life experiences with mine. I have had a pretty sh1t life, trying to deal with ups and downs in a certain way, celebrating the up bits, trying at times not to jump off a cliff at the bad bits.

i was having a bit of fun tonight, didn’t ya know, didn’t I flag it. As for “invites” I once filled out a form for Claire Byrne audience, the rest is history. Anyone can go in the audience, but they often have difficulty filling the seats as it’s such a late program. You remain on the database. I live very close by, can be there in 10 minutes. Like any gobsh1te can fill out the form to go into the audience. I’ve no special connections with anyone in RTE.

As for going on holidays several times a year, am I supposed to sit at home cursing the darkness in my life? I am paying less for Borneo than most people are spending on 2 weeks in the Canaries. Actually I could save myself money by overwintering in the Canaries or Cyprus.

As for getting “special assistance” anyone who actually needs it can get it. Anyone. It’s not a big deal. I am trying to get it across to people to ask for what they need when they need it and not get all bitter because they are not receiving. Should I not go anywhere because of my disability?

As for my car being electric, it’s hybrid. No chance of getting an electric one even if I wanted one, living in an apartment block. What kind of car ought I be driving?

Don’t you ever see where I’m self deprecating? I mean, what am I but another nobody cursed with a body that doesn’t work and never did properly, I’m not somebody to envy in any way, but I do try and go full-on positive to compensate for what I can’t enjoy in life, half-decent health.

Of you are wondering why I’m up so late, well I got in late, and then there has been the little matter of a stoma bag leak to deal with. No magic assistants to help. Maybe you’d like to try having one yourself. Maybe you have one for all I know.

Maybe I was trying to give a few of us a laugh tonight. I found it hard not to break out laughing whilst answering Katie.

Put down yer aul stones, there, and I’ll get out of the stocks.

How did your father stop the Man of the House from taking off in his van?

Actually, I think things have improved. I remember travelling around Tallaght very early in the morning looking for my fathers stolen car. We came across 3 or 4 sitting on the middle of the road, burnt out the night before. You had to stop and look at each car to tell if it was his car. It was eventually found later that day halfway down the hill of one of the mountain car parks. The had gone over the edge pulling donuts.
