RTE 1: 'Today' with Claire Byrne

Ploughing your way back to 2019 to have a cut at the Brenner is …..well…..to be commended, Hound.

My opinion hasn't changed….he could be a dark horse to take over from the Dufficer when the time comes.

His reportage style seems to consist of answering pre selected questions from pre selected list all typed up neatly

and pre arranged.Nobody could be that quick out of the traps without pre knowledge and pre rehearsal of the 'running order'.

Otherwise I'm sure he's a nice lad.

Couldn't believe my ears with Claire Byrne doing a segment on the good weather. Positive news. Although she did have to finish the talk off by mentioning water shortages.

Interesting that Claire Byrne and RTE in general completely ignoring the new immigration policy in the UK and the strangers on the island comment by the UK PM this week. Normally they cover any issue from UK, often ridiculous ones, but oddly aren't covering this one, particularly as this new policy might affect us.

Well Irish Water will be more than vocal shortly about water shortages so I am sure she is just pre-empting that.

Tell that to Irish Water, it is they who will be issuing the pleas & the bans because of eh…….drought conditions.

The Tonight show also did a whole segment on it last night.

What prompted these discussions is the forecast that this prolonged dry spell which has been going on a while will continue for a number of weeks.
What is wrong with the word 'drought'? It perfectly describes what is happening:

Meaning of drought in English

 droughtnoun [ C or U ]uk  /draʊt/ us  /draʊt/Add to word list C2

a long period when there is little or no rain:

Yes, a scientific definition. We are approaching drought conditions if this spell continues, colloquially and scientifically. As we have seen with droughts in the recent past a bit of rain here and there won't solve it.
Perfect fodder for a current affairs discussion.

Is that the golf courses which use VAST amounts of water so rich folk can have a nice day out?

We're in the land of 'all radio output should be designed for my tender ears'. A lot of people are concerned about drought conditions developing. While you develop your tan and feel good levels remember livelihoods depend on weather. Allegedly that is a current affair in people's lives. Enjoy the day!😎

The usual bolloxology……..most golf courses have their own water supply.

Go back to the squats dude😎

Stolen from the porridge of refugee orphans while twirling moustaches and laughing manically , apparently.

Golf was the bees patella’s only a week or two ago when what’s his name won what’s it called

What nonsense.

Where everyone else gets it ,pal, from the sky.

Rainwater tanks dude, rainwater tanks.

Being discussed by folk who have none in storage,compadre, who didn’t foresee that, Jaysus ,there might be the odd auld drought about the place and we need to be protected against the possibility.

Were there any golf courses on complaining bub?

Get a grip buddy!
