The people who would get upset over that stuff aren't observing anything other than the Intoxicating Liquor Act of 1927... and that was just something we copied from the brits.

So we can pick and choose which laws we obey now?

Ireland is unique among Common Law jurisdictions insofar as the law is a temporary class of a thing to keep things from falling apart until the loodramawns get their act together.

That law just covers the sale of alcohol in certain places. How would they be breaking it by having a Movies & Booze segment on the show?

But to answer your question, yes... we can pick and choose which laws to obey. I've already broken a few myself today.

This is Ireland, you haven't committed an offense unless you're caught.

Have you ever been to the Continent? You'll notice the same, shall we say, Heisenbergian view of the law there, particularly in France and Spain.

It really is a slap with a wet fish to any observant Catholic turning the dial that day.
I believe these more elderly members of our society should be allowed see out their latter years without such abuses of their beliefs.

I'd invite you to agree with me on this.

WTF???

Hahaha! I know there are all sorts of irrational rules about what Catholics cannot do and use, but I didn't realise that the use remote controls and appliance power buttons were among them!

Sean Moncrieff? Jaysus, haven't heard of him in yonks. I remember when he was being primed by rte as the next big thing back in the late 90's. Does he still do telly at all?

A bit like Gods input into pop tarts really?

He still narrates The Restaurant on TV3 and hosted a gameshow there for a while which was diabolical

He's great on Newstalk.. makes what would be otherwise boring interviews fun to listen to and has a lot of decent guests on.

Uganda civilised ?

Most of them are still stuck with that tribal nonsense, talk to any bloke from Uganda and steer the conversation to football and you'll find out that nearly every last one is a Man Utd. supporter :eek:

But you're right, OP. It's a horrendous capitulation to the forces of nescience! Down with this sort of thing.

Didn't you get tempbanned from AH for posting this sort of bull****?

Hi Pope

Stop living in the past, man.

Anyways, I've been thinking about this and I really think the movies and booze slot could be spiced up a bit with some sort of phone in where people could ask questions? I know they read out the texts and twitter messages, but maybe if they had a phone-in kind of thing it would be more entertaining.

It's a slot on a radio show that people don't have to listen to if they are going to be offended.

I have no religion, why am I not allowed to purchase a bottle of champagne in my home country on that day?

eviltwin · 11-02-2015 12:20AM

I don't think Moncrieff needs to worry. Isn't good Friday about penance and all that self inflicted suffering? If so, any decent Catholic will have to force themselves to tune in to Joe Duffy instead.

Amen.

What? God is a Jamaican!!?? Then surely the Catholic Church should be at the fore of the campaign to legalize hash?

Well, that explains the daddy long legs.

No its not until Friday 3rd April

But I can see your confusion, since this usual thread started way to early this year.

catallus · 11-02-2015 01:18AM

It's in April!!!

The third of April!

The Friday before the Sunday after the first full moon before the vernal equinox!

Come on!

ah right, I see the word 'Good' there now, I though he was just moaning about this Friday coming.

He better have a horror film plug though, it is the 13th after all.

Of course it's ridiculous. But I will take the holiday though
