"I'm delighted you asked that question"

Chapter 1, Page 1, Pararagraph 1 of the Spoofer's Handbook for Politicians.

Lapin · 01-10-2013 9:25am

Jim Hacker would be proud of that one.

Jasus Arthur Spring is a bigger bull****ter than Dick was.

I have 4 foolscap pages of promises we kept
My intern went looking for 20 promises we kept and found 100

Publish the list so.........

Call me Al · 01-10-2013 9:34am

Good lord!
Head in the sand for Arthur Spring!
I think he is coing across as very aggressive and not very personable.

neris · 01-10-2013 9:48am

labour are so full of bluster and are kings of the all talk no action pr spoof. gilmore was getting dogs abuse on newstalk this morning over his frankfurts way gaffe a few years back

Callan57 · 01-10-2013 10:12am

MLOD alert .... I gone

touts · 01-10-2013 10:21am

I was thinking for a minute that it must be a great day for the Travelling community that M'Lady O'Donnell graced them with a visit at Ballinasloe. But it turns out she was more interested in the horses for dressage and show jumping.

IvyTheTerrible · 02-10-2013 9:18am

People "bidding up" for rental accommodation. This country will never change. :mad:

God Regina Doherty is not very articulate "They gave stuff to the Irish people". Stuff?

mike65 · 03-10-2013 10:01am

Mum! There a deep breather on my radio! :eek:

Bellerstring · 03-10-2013 10:02am

Jesus, that newsreader doesn't sound well......

It sounded like he was breathing deeply to stop himself being sick or having a panic attack!

mike65 · 03-10-2013 10:08am

I wondered if he was about to have a seizure, luckily he went to a report and composed himself.

TheBorderFox1 · 03-10-2013 1:17pm

I wonder how Sean reacted when he finished the interview with Jeremy Paxman after referring to O'Rourke's comment as been akin to a clown.

I read newsreader Brian Finn's Twitter feed and here's what he's said about his deep breathing exercise live on air:

''Never run to studio - going to have it tattooed on my forehead'' !!

Got the impression that Mr Paxman doesn't really appreciate having his views questioned, which is a little bit ironic considering what he does for a living.

padd b1975 · 07-10-2013 9:42am

Am I the only one in the country that has never watched a second of Love/Hate??

mike65 · 07-10-2013 9:43am

Never seen it, the idea of spending several hours in the presence of Dublin skanger gangsters is not a happy one.

ThisRegard · 07-10-2013 9:47am

Who are the 2 oul lads waffling about it ? One of them sounds like he just watched last nights episode having never watched it before considering some of his comments, he wants a womans presence ?

Only caught the very end of it - was it worth listening back to?

ThisRegard · 07-10-2013 9:54am

Nah. One was a former garda commissioner, the other an alleged TV or arts critic from the Indo. The former garda at least talked a bit of sense, the Indo guy as I mentioned gave the impression he either never watched it before, or was just a total waffler.

HeidiHeidi · 07-10-2013 10:18am

Ooof, bit of a clunky link between the travel fella and Dunphy..... I wonder which one was pre-recorded?

Lapin · 07-10-2013 10:26am

Noticed that. The 'travel fella' was probably pre-recorded as he is from Ballinasloe and probably recovering from the fair there yesterday.

Glad to hear Dunphy speak about the bullshít that surrounds the Moore St traders and their perception as 'salt of the earth types'. Its a million miles from the tripe Joe Duffy would have us believe about the place.

De Liveline will implode today after Dunphy bad mouthing "salt of the earth Dubs" - Joe won't be having that at all

MLOD telling us lots of things we already know about apples, in her "inimitable" style. :rolleyes:

IvyTheTerrible · 08-10-2013 10:16am

And now she's talking with her mouth full, FFS, the pig.

snubbleste · 08-10-2013 10:17am

I'm rather enjoying this. :cool:

touts · 08-10-2013 10:17am

She's slurping and slobbering and chewing live on air. Oh my god.

L1011 · 08-10-2013 10:20am

Shouldn't she be in the seanad being indispensable to democracy?

Meathlass · 08-10-2013 10:52am

That apple farm is about a mile from my house - they also have gorgeous raspberries and strawberries in summer. Great place.

spank_inferno · 09-10-2013 9:39am

Wow.... A journo on the radio telling it like it is re: travellers.

SOR has got to put a stop to this!

ThisRegard · 09-10-2013 9:48am

He took a break for this piece to allow Pavee Point on the other line to calm down before he returns to him.

He was saying that they cheated poor customers back in the day (ie cheated his family).
He also said he was fondled by a priest.

neris · 09-10-2013 9:59am

this lads unreal. you watch those programmes and see the cars they drive and (unclassy, chav) wedding dresses they wear makes their claims as poor discriminated minority a lie. if they stopd acting like scumbags and thieves they might get a bit more respect from society

artful_codger · 09-10-2013 10:01am

Wow, he's really watering down the facts.

They used to put all the good fruit & veg at the front of their stall but give Eamo's family all the rotten stuff at the back, would be hilarious if somebody rang Joe complaining about getting rotten fruit from a " salt o de eart"

There would definitely be a bad line that day.

you wouldnt even get a bad line, joe wouldnt let you on to slate his friend mrs brown and her buddies

artful_codger · 09-10-2013 10:27am

I wonder are people in the Asylum system for seven/eight years because they keep appealing their rejection for asylum. Those hostel owners are making a profit, but they don't determine the length of stay.

Considering they are supposed to be Asylum Seekers they seem to be a very demanding lot. I can't help but feel if I were an asylum seeker I'd be falling over myself with gratitude to any country that took me .. but of course that's not a PC thing to say :rolleyes:

OMG they are discussing A Tale For The Time Being & I'm in the middle of reading this fabulous book.

And if you did manage to slip through the net and get on air, Joe would probably tell you to "GET A GRIP!"

Fianna Fáil calling the FG budgets regressive... Really is hard to listen to the idiots that caused the mess giving out about the cuts that have to be made to try to sort their mess out. All those FF lads should have been summarily executed after the bailout..

I don't blame them. If I was running a stall, I'd give Dunphy the ****tiest stuff going too!
