    wasnt this exactly done in early 90s? in the movie from 1994 called "The Run of the Country" yer man Coco shouts "Vagina, Vagina, Vagina" at the top of his lungs whilst walking in the cows for milking while the Parish Priest (David Kelly) cycles by and shouts at him "….thats lovely talk.." was vaguely shocking and humorus in 1994, not so 30 years on. those two are about 20 years too late with thier shock comedy, ladette, anti Catholic Church, anti rural ireland trope. the conservative backlash is already a year on now

    Just switched on knew straight away it was David Gray, "White Ladder" etc. Next reaction was "Jayus he talks some shite". Then I thought I can't remember any lyrics of his songs. I remember my brother brought that White Ladder album, got bored with it fairly quick. I wonder is that the universal reaction, do people still listen to "White Ladder"

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I have a few work colleagues that'd lap it up. Fingers crossed that is the last we see of that pair. Must have a connection in RTE. Tommy didn't know them, so they are obviously not part of the comedy circuit.

    Ah Richie knows he's only messing. He's also a lovely man in real life.

    Those 2 are up their.. vaginas. They think they've reinvented the wheel in comedy terms. Obnoxious pair.

    I don't know, awful if they did.

    Repetition of one word complete with a homemade one! It's sub human comedy!

    You'll find acts like that have easy access to arts grants

    When someone describes their act by saying "we start off with a funny song" you know immediately, for a fact, they are not only not funny, but are excruciating to one's sense of intellectual self respect.

    Wildly complicated interview here.

    Hard not to feel conflicted by how the mother is able to candidly describe how great her family and daughters were on front of the child she gave up, having your cake and eating it to a point.

    She noted there was no outlying reason for giving him up, other than deep down she knew she couldn't give him a good life, but she didn't die trying at the same time.…

    Suppose you never know what people are going through inside.

    Did she say someone took the child from her. All I get is she said she gave it up.

    The father sounds like a boyo.

    She looks so young, probably a young mam.

    Great man, George.

    Great man.

    Delighted to hear him turn up on Premier Sports after RTE did RTE stuff and moved on from easily their best ever soccer commentator.

    George is a man who can truly say "I was there".

    It feels odd hearing a voice that is so familiar. I get the impression George would have done that job for nothing, he enjoyed it so much.

    Denmark won 6 out of 8 matches in qualifying for Euro 92, not even a play off, f*cking ruthless.

    She sings in a thick Cavan accent, she sounds different than I was expecting.

    Good man Tommy.

    A hat trick.
