    I just realised something, I can order a beer in about 7 different languages. After 14 years of intensive Irish teaching, can I order a beer in Irish? Short of saying "Guinness, brustaigh!" No.

    Do these people in Bord Fáilte (are we not allowed call them that anymore?), Dublin city culture and various other tourism quangos who literally put millions into marketing not feel any shame promoting lies about Dublin/Ireland and not feel any need to highlight lack of policing and enablement of serious and petty crime?

    For a fraction of the money they spend, you could hire a private police force to actually make the place suitable for citizens, tourists and workers alike.

    It would be better to remove repeat offenders from the street, so the trouble does not even start.

    Finishing Thornton Hall in Dublin and reopening Spike Ireland for Cork would be a start. There would be no problem filling them.

    Dats being like on the 38 going by de Joy into town.

    Conversations at full volume. Who is in there now etc, etc. Best place to sell stolen lawnmowers and the going rates. Selling drugs. Where to get drugs. Traveller kids to their friends, 'I am a Knacker and proud of it.' Whacker couples, "Do you love me?", "I f*ck you, don't I."

    I used to work in Bank of New York, down on the quays. Got off the tram one day and walked through the area. State Street, Merryl Lynch, Bank of America, Citi Bank. Flowing through that one particular street is more than the entire GDP of the Republic of Ireland and not a guard in sight. And it is skanger central. To the point, that a cleaner in my building was killed by one of them.

    It is one of many national shameful regrets, and any time a politician asks about getting your vote you should reply "what about gardai? Are you going to get more and put them out on the street? Not drinking tea and browsing through Pulse."

    I wonder what the bold Joe would have to say about this, troublemaker as he was, back in the day.

    He must be torn between standing up for them and milking the teat at the same time.

    Today show was a strange rant by Joe

    I honestly don't think it was because of Flatley and whiskey on the Late Late show.

    Maybe he was told by RTE to stop plugging his own sh1t and his friends stuff on Liveline.

    Also wasn't Friday the last LL until after the summer. I hope the first person they have on the shoe after summer is Michael O Leary.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,492 ✭✭✭tohaltuwi


    Can’t say nuttin yet, all hush hush for de minute, but I have been asked would I do a few media interviews at end of month in an official capacity, so to speak. 😉 Not Liveline on this occasion but other radio programs/stations/media outlets an dat.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,469 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    Joe sounded a bit 'sour' tee, you missed nothing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,282 ✭✭✭✭zell12


    Heard the NYTimes are screaming to "keep yissir arses in yer pants". Joe will be all over this

    He is always in wicked form when he gets back from his "breakeens". I don't think Joe's heart is in it any more



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,492 ✭✭✭tohaltuwi




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,492 ✭✭✭tohaltuwi


    it’s slightly ironic since Liveline does an immense amount of free plugging, and of course inevitably further plugging happens when discussing plugging on another RTE show.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭leath_dub


    Surely to God what happened is a surprise to nobody? What were they expecting?? Whoever. thought it was a good idea must not be from Dublin or has spent very little time in Old Dubbalin Town

    the city faaaders & mudders do be making very silly decisions. The idea is cool in theory, but in practice in Doobalin & NY town it’s inviting the inevitable. It would need to be not in real time, and viewed before broadcasting de udder side, but then that defeats the purpose. Was it mentioned on Liveline or de promo yesterday? It’s only a matter of time before somebody rings in about it, and it could fill a show at the rate Joe goes.

    • 'Whoy are prices so high in Oirland ?'. They insist on paying 18 year olds nearly €14 an hour, per the minimum wage, or anyone doing the most basic of wurk

    The money tree has died on Treasure Island.

    After years of de good life with all accommodation and grub paid, de full dole (and benefits) will be cut down to de same as de poor citizens.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,282 ✭✭✭✭zell12


    Any mention of oirish arses on de portal to de big apple?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,277 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    Will we have Olga on to complain about it? It is disgrace Joe.

    I wouldn't be a fan of Simon Harris but at least he had had the balls to go about stopping the gravy train. Unlike that spineless, rat that was in charge before him.

    Now I know this is because the penny has dropped that the vast, vast majority of the electorate are sick to the teeth of every Ahmed, Yelana and Mateo arriving hopeful of that accommodation that Roderic promised in Arabic, Ukrainian and Albanian a few years ago.

    A few months ago, mentioning that the social welfare payments should be cut would have had you branded a right wing racist. Now it's government policy. When the hotels and former nursing homes up and down the west coast were filled with all sorts and they had to be accommodated in Dublin City Centre and D4, the government narrative changed. Strange that.

    Or asses as de Yanks call them.

    In the meantime we appear to getting the better deal:

    It is only policy as the councillors are in trouble canvasing door to door and the TDs have realised they will get worse in a few months time.
