    ... and now it's Dermot Ahern :eek:
    Spring must be early this year, the dinosaurs are all out of hibernation - no doubt Dermot will tell us all about crime & the causes of crime.
    Think I'll go for a coffee this deja vou is too much for me :mad::mad:

    So Paisley stood up to the UDA and UVF!

    In the context in which Paisley lived, that he was merely thought to be a "bully with a massive " ego seems comparatively benign.

    Public Health Warning: Tom Parlon, property bubble shill ahead.
    Maybe Sean doesn't realise it but saying "Coming up after the break - Tom Parlon" is guaranteed to make me switch off/over.

    And judging by the quoted comment I'm not alone.

    Enjoying Valerie Cox's report from my old neck of the woods and can relate to it all.

    But she could work a bit on getting place names right.

    Sean put her right sharpish.

    I can understand these places are isolated but to say that there are tribes in the Amazon less isolated than them, hyperbole much?

    I noticed that. Although the area is his old neck of the woods too. He probably did it without thinking.

    I was thinking the same thing. :)

    It reminded me of the time the late Seamus Brennan described a bridge carrying the Luas over a roundabout in Dundrum as 'Dublin's Golden Gate Bridge'.

    And the time local politicians in Dublin's Docklands suggested plans to build 3 highrise buildings there would turn the area into Manhattan !

    Also, how any regional airfield in Ireland that managed to secure a flight to Luton or Bristol became an international airport overnight !

    We do love our hyperbole in Ireland. :o

    Oh dear god. M'Lady O'Donnell is going on and on and on and on and on and on. It is probably 15 min and feels like an hour....

    Is there any need for the Angelus? Sean's Casio watch alarm is a perfectly good alternative.

    It seems to have become a fashion here to listen to MLOD on the radio, and then rush here to say how shocking and appalling she is.

    Why does anyone listen to MLOD all the time professing they don't like to listen to MLOD?

    I don't have control of the radio in the office.

    Because we enjoy listening to the rest of the show, and this is a segment we don't enjoy?

    I don't ... the minute Sean mentiones her I'm gone. Which unfortunately is why I regularly miss later items on the show. :mad:

    These apprentice guys, serious question, but they're earning a wage unlike a lot of students, so why shouldn't they be paying fees like a full time student ? Are they being asked to pay more than a full time 3rd level student ?

    There's my answer, they're not being asked to pay anything a full time student isn't being asked to pay. Stick your whinges up your ass so.

    I'm seriously impressed by the fact that Sean's watch is bang on the button. It must be one of those atomic thingies linked to Greenwich.

    When you say "we" you are you talking on behalf of?

    Not only do you not enjoy it, but you keep telling us how you don't enjoy it, over and over and over and over. "We" all know you don't like it as you remind us at every available opportunity.

    Have you ever considered saying why you do like to listen to the show, rather than telling us over and over and over and over again why you don't like about it?

    I've never said I don't enjoy the show! :confused:
    I comment on items I enjoy from the show as well as items I don't like from the show.
    Why are you so interested in what I say about the show anyway? What difference does it make to you?

    What difference does it make to you what difference it might make to me?

    What interests me is why you, and others, keep making the same points over and over and over and over.

    Why do you keep re-regging?

    I'm posting on a public forum about a radio show. I don't believe there is anything wrong with what I'm posting. If there is something in my posts which is against the forum or boards.ie charter, please report them to a mod. Otherwise would you just let it go, please.
