    Man that parenting expert on Moncrieff is irritating. It was funny when a texter suggested a swift boot up the arse as a remedy to behavioral issues. :D

    was it the usual guy? i think he's pretty good. there's notable difference between him and the irish experts.

    he has no problem with saying NO to kids, whereas the others will tell you to sit down with your child and explain the ins and outs of why they can't shove 6 inch nails in their baby sisters ears...

    jaysus, after that interview mortimers book is priority on my must read book list just behind mein kampf. what an painful interview, listening to a lad for a good half hour trying to justify and figure out why he was dropped. it was too much to hope for Ger to say "emmmm, do ye think maybe you were dropped in your prime years because you are a complete pr*ck?"

    woolys endorsement of the book and of Mortimer as a "real character" is further reason to use this book as toilet paper if you are unlucky enough to find this in your Xmas stocking.

    woolys outdone himself with his clueless punditry tonight and his "we need more characters in the game and it's a shame they are gone", no it's not you twat, they were and are annoying just like himself and GAA is a hell of a lot better without idiots like himself and Mortimer

    All they need to do now is get rid of Bill Hughes's slot where he plays George's favourite songs and we might have a half-decent show again.
    why? Its actually an interesting slot


    edit* do you mean thursday when Bill selects a classic song and explains its history?

    Pat Kenny Show: 'It's a while now since I put on my boots or whatever'...some horrible heart/stroke Ad for the ****ing umteenth time. Unplugged transistor and removed from room - it will now be Liveline before it's switched on again. Is there ever going to be an end of the deluge of parasitic medical advertising? It should be banned like cigarette advertising as nothing is worse for my blood pressure. :mad:

    i've noticed that lately. it's like american tv on the radio. ads for health checks, supplements, insurance.
    at least the lads in clonmel pharma are looking out for us though, what with all the trust we have in them.

    Jonathan Healy's show is just turning into the lunchtime bash Sinn Fein slot now - the radio equivalent of the Indo.

    It's getting on my nerves

    Is there something wrong with Newstalk today?
    I turned it on earlier and didn't hear Shane Coleman's voice.

    Very strange.

    What right does Paul Murphy think he has to "slow march" Joan Burton away from the event yesterday... He has no right to interfere with her movement in any way..

    Spine chilling stuff. Shane Coleman let him off quite lightly. But Murphy hung himself. Especially after Zappone came in with her eyewitness account.

    I sometimes think Wooly's idea of "character" is a weird haircut and flashy boots

    To be fair he never actually quite reaches the level of 'sarcasm'...he generally flounders about at smartass'ness

    You think the unions would have made it a prerequisite of any prospective leader that they be able to put a full sentence together.

    He makes Elmer Fudd sound like John F Kennedy..

    Hook seems to think that Chavez is still alive. He's even more out of touch than I thought.

    He didn't seem to kick up half as much of a fuss when Irish Water wanted our PPS numbers. Denis wouldn't have liked that, though. It might have interfered with the installation of water meters....

    'It's not like shopping in other shops.' :(:(:(
