Eamon Ryan again this morning ... is he camped out in the carpark at RTE?

F**k all else to do with his time since the people keep refusing to vote him into a job.

Sean gave 12 mins to the bailout letter and cut it off when the Sinn Fein spokesman had clearly won the argument for a rubbish spot on ' food and travel ' , come off it sean , you're in rte long enough to know when to suspend the fluffy rubbish items , very disappointed in him today.

The elections are not too far away. He's getting himself out there. Same as Mary Hanafin was for months before the council elections.

I think we can say at this stage that fears about Sean struggling with less serious material have proved unfounded. I thought he handled that item about box sets as streaming as smoothly as you could hope for: kept it light, threw in a couple of personal references, but still elicited the relevant info.

Why dont you ask your Labour buddies to relay your message to the Taoiseach.. Or are you not speaking to them after they gave Michael D the golden ticket...

Interesting decision from the Supreme Court re surrogacy - Liveline will be hopping I bet

I think the show today will be full of "random" callers slapping Joe on the back and metaphorically carrying the "reluctant" Joe Duffy on their shoulders...

We can prepare for lashings of false modesty & "it's not me it's you the listners" lines :eek:

sligojoek · 07-11-2014 12:13PM

One thing is for sure. He won't be discussing the latest JNLR figures.

Callan57 · 10-11-2014 11:00AM

Would you seriously call Sinn Fein a left-wing party?

Lapin · 10-11-2014 11:20AM

Somebody in Montrose is about to get the fast end of Sean O'Rourke's size 10 up the rear end after that cock up.

Someone lined up the wrong audio during the discussion about Brian Farrell (RIP).

I don't often find myself agreeing with Ger Colleran but I totally agree with him this morning .. there is something very discomforting about all this glorification of WW1

+1 on Colleran and +another 1 on what he is saying. Time the poppies where worn on the inside of jackets for a while.
Rwanda story is interesting.

Judgement Day · 11-11-2014 10:34AM

The wearing of the poppy and supporting the work of the RBL was and should be a personal thing. I imagine that most genuine supporters of the RBL are disgusted by the poppy fascists and TV stations inceasingly jumping on the bandwagon. I'll continue to buy mine every year and will wear it on the outside of my lapel - thank you!

I think the poppy fascists have managed to distort perceptions. Quiet remembrance would be more readily accepted.

Ger Colleran achieved something remarkable today. He drove me over to agreeing with Kevin Myers (apart from Myers's vanity in his opening comments).

Unless my hearing is defective I'm fairly sure I've heard Kevin Myers many times on various RTE programmes discussing his interest in WW1 - don't know what he was talking about saying it was the first time he was asked on RTE to discuss it!

The woman on the vox- pox on the arklow raw sewage problem " people are giving out stink and giving out yards " about the raw sewage, lovely .

Cox- vox- pox

Frightening to think how thin or non existant the blue line actually is in this country

Maureen Grant what an entertaining & charming lady - immensly enjoyable listening to her

Heard that yesterday.

Agreed with some of what he said.

Although I never had him down as a religious Jesus fan.

Myers was spot on. As usual.

John Connor's Aunt on the show saying it was great to watch John on Love Hate because it was great to see something positive about travelers instead of news about them always fighting and stuff.

I must have been watching a different show :-)

But joking aside I have to say John Connors is a very good spokesperson for the travelling community. He is doing more for travelers in one interview than years of Pavee Point interviews.

Yea, I wondered what programme she watched too?
Or perhaps she revealed more about "traveller culture" than she intended!

Lapin · 13-11-2014 10:55AM

John Connors is gas here.

Justifies why Patrick was the right one to kill Nidge because his was the only character with a clear conscience.

Spoken like the most decent pipe bomb maker you'll ever meet !

I was surprised he didn't want duelling restored so the members of the "traveller culture" could sort out their differences in the time honoured way of their "hard man" culture.
Unintentionally he actually confirmed an awful lot of what most of us suspected about the so called "traveller culture" ... lauding beating the living daylights out of anyone who disagrees with you, crosses you or won't do exactly what you want (man or woman!). Sad excuse for men IMO

You'd have to laugh.. John Connors was giving out about the lack of electricity and the usual guff about the Council / ESB / any other random state body ... not helping them out.. with the inference being that they were being discriminated against... Then Sean asked him

Sean: "And John, do you own the land where the trailers are situated"...
John: "We have been living there for 15 years, so we have squatter's rights"..

So that would be a NO then... They have some cheek... They really do...
