    Hanafin trying to rewrite history , fianna fallers have been at this in earnest for the last year , I think they believe our memories only last about five years, arrogant shower of traitors .

    If Mary Hanafin was being a bit more honest about what Honohan said yesterday... He said the opportunity to do something about the crash was in 2006... And at the stage where they were all around the table trying to fix the banking situation there was no easy fix, there was gonna be a big crash of some sort... But Mary and her Government were busy trying to buy the next election and looking after the builders in 2006 to run the country responsibly... .

    For anybody who wants to hear the "Bart's People" version of the report, Angela O'Connor will be on with Jonathan Healy next, to speak about her difficulty getting a medical card for her 8 year old daughter Lucy who has cancer.

    Unbelievable

    He's having to force her for at least one straight answer.

    O'Rourke asked will the promise of 5,000 social houses in 2015 be met.

    She drags in Sinn Fein,O'Rourke asks the same question again...

    She is too busy making an election spiel.

    She was speaking really slowly with long pauses. Winding down the clock. Stock phrases and repeating. I was in the car talking to someone and couldn't hear it properly. I'll give it a proper listen later.

    He was doing his job in Trinity College - he came to the Central Bank only when the bubble burst and in my opinion is an honest man who tells it like it is - only for him we wouldnt have known the IMF were in town.........

    Just listening to Brendan Keenan on The Business with Richard Curran now... Richard should ask him, "on a scale of 1 to 10 how embarrassed were you looking at The Guarantee the other night"...

    Does she do an inventory of every place that she visits or what?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,657 ✭✭✭CountyHurler


    The reason they use plastic knifes and forks is surely for safety reasons?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,657 ✭✭✭CountyHurler


    "And I will go in and speak to them if that's what's required"...

    Yeah and after MLOD has given them a lecture about having a "social conscience", they can ask her about 70k she gets from the public purse for a part time job in that talking shop they call the Seanad. Given to her by her old pal Enda.. Maybe they could give that money to the homeless..?

    Dunno, whenever I hear the gushing tones of MLOD coming on, I exercise the OFF button!!

    Wooooooooooooow Séan - confusing Robbie Williams and Robin Williams


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,160 ✭✭✭Callan57


    Fairly inexpert expert there - she really should do her research before bluffing on national radio


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,657 ✭✭✭CountyHurler


    Jesus if I hear that phrase "job of work" one more time from labour... :mad::mad:

    Ah, time for The Plummy Accent Middle Class "My Gosh, Those Poor Blighters" Court Report.

    Marvel at various stories of "the unfortunate"!

    Oh look, a woman who couldn't pay her TV licence because she is a single parent. She can afford €70 a month for UPC though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,127 ✭✭✭✭neris


    rte trying to scare the **** out of people by sending paddy to court for tv license court cases for people dont pay the rte tax


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,127 ✭✭✭✭neris

    "I have principles" - but they don't involve not breaking the law :rolleyes:

    I'm finding this show to be increasingly dull. It seems to follow a format. Every week he interviews the parents of an ill or deceased child, the chef/ cookery spots are tedious, an author or playwright (generally british), someone flogging something etc
    I can't recall PKs show being so rigid in its format, or maybe I just have a short memory.
