Sounds like we're not getting the full story here.

Callan57 · 07-10-2014 10:09AM

Does that woman from Irish Water think we are complete fools?

CountyHurler · 07-10-2014 10:10AM

Elizabeth can come on here with her bubbliness and her soft spoken plamás, but nobody believes for a second that they will not be lining their own pockets.. If there was any suggestion of somebody being docked, the whole lot of them would run to the union and down tools..

She is beyone arrogance :mad:
Sean should ask her who actually set the performance measures that will be used to pay the BONUSES?

"I really do have to empasise" .... you are talking bullsh1t

Has Christy Moore changed his policy of not allowing people to sing with him at the gigs?

CountyHurler · 07-10-2014 10:36AM

Could she not get through to Joe Duffy?

Callan57 · 07-10-2014 10:54AM

Colm McCarthy talking common sense as usual

Welsh Megaman · 08-10-2014 11:00AM

Didn't Fionnan Sheahan sound very weird yesterday.
It was a technical issue they said.

Yea it was a bit odd right enough

I loved Barry Cowens comment that it was lucky it wasn't him that sounded slurred.

Callan57 · 09-10-2014 09:22AM

Lovely to hear Clive James - what an entertaining man, so glad he still has his sense of humour. My favourite Aussie

Japaneese Maple is absolutely beautiful

Kenny's interview with Keane was much better than O'Rourkes.

Callan57 · 10-10-2014 10:57AM

"Is it too late to plant sprouts"? ... I keep expecting Gerry Daly to respond "what kind of feck1ngclown are you"?

Harry Angstrom · 13-10-2014 10:24AM

Eamon Ryan busy? Doing what? Leading a party whose total membership can fit inside a telephone box?

CountyHurler · 13-10-2014 10:44AM

"Would you be willing to live in Kilcock"...

Irish people are very good at using the system too in fairness, as demonstrated by this lady looking to move to a better area. What utopia is she looking to move to, paid for by the tax payer ?

He says he's busy in the evening keeping " one eye on the twitter feed " ' sweet j !!!

All these people living abroad who don't contribute via the TV licence complaining about LW being closed down. Why don't they all band together to fund it if they're that upset about it.

HeidiHeidi · 14-10-2014 10:10AM

Is anyone else really sick of the way that shows like SO'R, PK, News at One etc spend the days and hours before elections/referendums/budgets obsessively guessing what will or might happen or not happen?

I've noticed it more and more in recent years, especially in the time between the closing of polls and the announcements of the results in elections - the amount of man hours invested in number-crunching and analysing and guessing what might happen (often wrongly) is mind-boggling. Why not just wait for the fecking result

All I've heard yesterday and this morning so far is guessing at what will be announced in the budget this afternoon. At 11.45 there's going to be the final guessing game (before the News at One, obviously, when there'll be more updated guessing) with Brian Whatshisname. (Who's never been wrong? O rly???)

It'll be announced at 2.15pm lads, WHY NOT JUST WAIT FOR THE REAL THING.

If it was not covered you would have posters on here saying "The Budget is today and they never even mentioned it" or if they did just mention it you'd have "The most important day of the year financially for the Irish public and they only gave it five minutes".

This is true

I'm not arguing for NO coverage, just against the obsessive guessing and estimating in the absence of any actual knowledge whatsoever - what does it achieve?

Our welfare and justice system at work. Young lad up for dealing drugs going to plead guilty to get it over with so he can go home to smoke hash. No problem outlining the various offences he commits while drunk and laughing about them. If they had sent him to prison on his first offence and he spent a few months breaking rocks with a sledge hammer during the day and sleeping in a bare cell with 8 or 10 others at night would it really have ****ed him up any more than the liberal system he clearly has no fear of.

Its tedious at this stage but someone in teh government is unfortunatly feeding crumbs of info to the journos who then get the hopes of the nation up/down for whats going to happen. theyd nearly be better off just putting the budget in a press release and letting the journos do what they really want and break the bad news to the public

shockwave · 14-10-2014 12:25PM

Most of the details have been leaked already, seems a bit pointless having a big budget speech now.

thesandeman · 15-10-2014 01:44AM

wtf is the ring thing? Only listening to the repeat now and I'm totally lost.

Lapin · 15-10-2014 09:18AM

Listening to Joan Burton earlier and these two now, I can't help wondering how much their spin doctors must look forward to budget day.

ThisRegard · 15-10-2014 09:32AM

This guy on about smoking can't be serious.

CountyHurler · 15-10-2014 09:33AM

He's looking for an allowance for a new phone?
