    That's a form of "hazing". Dead or not, Terry Wogan must now be cancelled.

    Mike Murphy must sue RTE and the State for compensation.

    This has to be put right.

    hazing

    , form of initiation that occurs when new members enter certain social groups, most often characterized by degrading, humiliating, or dangerous tasks and behaviours.

    It did take her till the end of a very long-winded story to mention that her son had started to use another name, and may be living under that name at the moment. I'm not sure really sure what his ability to cook, drive etc had to do with anything. Colm did her no favors dragging it out either.

    Colm would have had to press her to be more concise. In fairness to him if he did I think we’d be having a conversation about him bullying her. She’s not a politician. You can’t Really push someone in her position. He could have led however with a potted summary of the story. She led with an enormous amount of irrelevant information. The seriousness of the issue was very diluted as a result. She could have spent the first 5 minutes detailing the actual issue and spent time afterwards filling out a character view of Luke but it was honestly hard to see where it was all going at times early on.

    I would agree with much of what you say, but that doesn't really excuse the many nasty comments made by posters.

    Colm, Missed the start. Something about more gaffs/relaxing of garden sheds.

    I assume yesterday's preview topic of more Woman.going to the Rutland Centre for cocaine use is was not listed and will not be covered. Word must have comedown from the Montrose C Suite.

    I'm not too sure how a free for all of log cabins popping up in already tiny gardens around the cities of the country is going to end up. Not well I imagine

    Between log cabins in gardens and the government now allowing quickly thrown up shoebox apartments , things are sounding fairly screwed.

    Seems obvious to me - start at 30% with an extremely short time frame given (you can do sh-it like that when you're the USA) when you want 15%.

    EU like the USA, have ruthless negotiaters but not the agility to react like a nation not tied to it's mammoth bureaucracy can ie, the UK who have a tariff 50% less

    You think the next person after Trump is going to be normal ?? That would mean there will be a free and fair election. That is looking more and more unlikely.

    Colm is a bit slow off the mark, the caller wants you to ask him about his doctorate from Kenya

    Has this lad been asleep since the end of WW2 or is he only taken notice of what the likes of the US have been up to the last 20 years ?

    Colm showing off all his researchers homework on Obama.

    Fairly carpet bombing on these whataboutery merchants.

    Bring in an expert Colm and have a proper debate.... leave the lads to have their debates in the pub.
