    Don't think they do.

    And even if they did, their fans wouldn't understand why the ball was so big while they were trying to figure out where the hurls were. :D

    diageo & guiness getting more free airtime on rte radio again. These constant debates on drinking & smoking that seem to be on radio shows numerous times every week are getting tedious

    Arthur's day is just an advertising campaign. I don't know why people are getting hot and bothered about it.

    It should be called Diageo Day.

    I thought there was regulation introduced for the buskers? Like they had to have a mininum number of songs etc?

    Piped music in shops is very annoying.

    But it could be worse.

    I was in a shop last week and they had Liveline coming through the speakers. :eek:

    Joe would have asked me to turn the radio down.

    "Charlie Bird didnt do his leaving"

    That'll certainly scare them in to finishing secondary school alright.

    First up Michael Twee waffling on and on about ploughing and now Jonny Sexton avoiding saying anything controversial.

    **** me I need a coffee to stay awake.....

    Des asked one of the Dubs "Who would you let your sister marry?"
    Seriously did I go back to the 50's in a time machine?! Cringe.

    They had yet another piece about city folk with lots of Garda stations within 5 minutes of their house giving out about rural folk living an hour from help and owning a gun for self defense. If someone breaks into my house I'll take the Barry Scott approach "Bang! and the Dirt is gone"

    Marie Louise O'Dramatic is the greatest advertisement for the abolition of The Seanad. Keep it up Marie. Not long to go now.

    So some young twit decides we need to dumb down.....will Sean discuss Beyonce's apparently flabby ass or something equally pressing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,879 ✭✭✭signostic


    listening to Sean at the ploughing championships today, he comes across more like a football match commentator that a radio presenter..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,879 ✭✭✭signostic


    ah now on Richard Bruton, the good news merchant of Irish politics..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    Sean is not good out in the field


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,351 ✭✭✭✭Harry Angstrom


    I'm getting tired of all these outside broadcasts from the Ploughing Championship on Newstalk and RTE. The sound is shyte, and there's only so much of farming talk that I can take before my eyes glaze over.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus


    the only good thing about the ploughing championships is the chance to see shazzer in wellies on the six one news.

    :D

    She's intolerable, but she's no more an advertisement for the abolition of the Seanad than Michael Lowry is an advertisement for the abolition of the Dáil. She's very much an advertisement for its reform.

    I can't help wondering if Kenny put her in the Seanad as a method of bolstering his rather cheap and vacuous "arguments" for its abolition.

    But we're not being given a vote for reform, it's a straight yes or no. Organisations like Democracy Matters are intentionally muddying the waters by talking about reform, as a lot of the people behind it are senators or former senators who were quite happy to take their seats in that crony-filled doss house and didn't seem to raise any objections to it at the time.

    I have no time for Lowry either but at least it can be argued that he's in the Dail by virtue of the democratic franchise of his constituents.

    How come Paddy O'Gorman always finds a "smartly dressed woman" to talk to outside the courts? Could he be a babe magnet by any chance?

    No. But the dog is.

    Invest in property lads, it's the next big thing.. you heard it here first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,718 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    What estate was that where people are queueing? (I missed the beginning of the item)

    It's like being in a dream, hearing that sort of thing again :eek:

    Mind you, a four-bed house for 40 grand.....

    RTE have hired this in anticipation of Michael Martin's arrival.

    Yeah, better get on that property ladder, right NOW before they all get snapped up! Chop chop! That bubble won't inflate itself!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 31,117 ✭✭✭✭snubbleste


    I hope O'Rourke gives Martin a hard time for being in the ill-fated FF cabinet all during the boom. I expect nothing less than an interrogation...oh wait.

    Manix Flynn is an awful dose, did he never walk around Temple Bar before ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,718 ✭✭✭✭JonathanAnon


    None of these ex alcoholics seem to like Arthur's Day at all.. That's surprising, isnt it.

    I think we should attribute the disgruntled behaviour of certain people more to the fact that they are miserable b*stards, more than to Arthur's Day..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,718 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    I was in town (sober) last night until about 10pm - the place was bananas at that stage, I'd hate to have been in the middle of it at 1am :eek:

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,160 ✭✭✭Callan57


    I know exactly who I'd like to guillotine

    Michael & his party destroying the lives of thousands of Irish families & still happy to accept multiple inflated pensions & looking for more - now Mr Martin THAT is cynical :mad:

    Not has been unfortunately. With FG on track to lose a TD in each constituencey and no Labour TD safe Fianna Fail could gain a significant number of seats and are looking good to be in the next government in some form next time out. As long as the current structures for funding of political parties prohibit significant private donations and instead allow taxpayers money to go to existing political parties it is extremely difficult for an alternative party to set up and run a major election campaign. And people thought FF brought that in to fight corruption. It may turn out that was the most corrupt anti-democratic piece of leglislation of them all.

    I hope the reform alliance becomes a political party and Micheal, Enda and Eamon are not back in power.

    They'll just go the way of the PDs: small party in coalition just voting along with the leading party.

    People will see them for what they are. Fine Gael Nua. They might save their seats just like the likes of Mattie McGrath did by deserting Fianna Fail but they won't gain any.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,160 ✭✭✭Callan57


    Usual FF answer to anything - create another quango & who (I wonder) will be appointed to it? :mad:

    Same old boring FF claptrap

    If that prison in Peru ever needs a PR rep, they should hire this priest.

    I wouldn't mind a spell in the place myself after listening to him.
