Charlie and Bertie must have headed up a socialist state.

Bertie claimed to be a socialist, not sure about Charlie though...

My toes still haven't uncurled after her singing at the start.

Just flicked over momentarily to SOR to hear an unmistakeable voice declaring something to be "bee-youtiflee preserved":rolleyes:

Compare Sean O'Rourke's piece on the Car Sale with this 'interesting' Ad on Done Deal.

How is Rory McIlroy's private financial business of interest to the nation and worthy of the blanket coverage it's getting?

It's a remarkable confluence of the various obsessions of the country. Sports, nationalism (in this case combining both the sporting kind and the National Question sort), the agrarian fetish for golf, and some sort of boyband/cleb gossip angle on his relative youth and romantic antics. Oh, and money, of course. Lots and lots of money. Everything is inherently more interesting with lots of zeroes at the end of it.

I'm allergic to that Dr Donal o Shea guy, whenever I'm about to have a guilty snack pleasure , up he pops with no notice to put the mockers on everything , he seems to be everywhere, and he has an old fashioned condescending type attitude as well.

Callan57 · 10-02-2015 11:47AM

FGM truly horrendous listening - barbaric in the extreme

I guess he had to create a profile for himself in his own right, cos he was sick of being asked "Didnt you play for Ireland?"

Cancer again - is there any radio programme that doesn't do wall to wall medical slots?

I think you will find Joe Duffy only deals in hokeypokey quackery misery and steers well clear of anything that could be described as actually 'medical'

Loafing Oaf · 11-02-2015 11:56AM

I love the way Sean made sure to clarify AI meant Artificial Intelligence, he clearly has a finger on the pulse of the R1 audience.:P

It's ridiculous - every prog on every station has to have a daily slot for cancer or some other obscure illness same thing week after week on the Late Late & on the Brendan O'Connor show.
OMG I feel mean complaining about what is life and death for some unfortunates but that's human nature I guess me, me, me

Del.Monte · 11-02-2015 04:37PM

Well I wouldn't mind all the talk and crummy Ads for medical products + insurance if it lead to cures for things. Instead, we are being brow beaten by a tidal wave of patients on trolleys, medical cock-ups, health service in chaos etc.etc.

Loafing Oaf · 12-02-2015 10:35AM

Was that the Andrei Shevcenko?:eek:

foxtrot101 · 12-02-2015 11:29AM

No, it was this Andrei Shevcenko.

CountyHurler · 12-02-2015 11:30AM

Thought it was a good performance by Willie Walsh. Though it was really naive of him to say "I've lost 20% of my pension" as well, as this teed it up for the interviewer to draw further comparisons between his pay and conditions and those of the Aer Lingus workers..

Well in fairness no professional sportsman looks as good in a suit and glasses as they did in their playing kit, even if they weren't scoring too many goals at the time...

You know the views of everyone on here?

Callan57 · 16-02-2015 10:59AM

So you don't stand for anything????
It's all about what you stand against - extraordinary negativity IMO

If something is scientifically possible it will happen ... Breda O'Brien wasting her breath

Interesting "you will have to live" .... NO Breda "the child will have to live"

But she thinks if she stops just one person from committing a dreadful sin she will be one seat closer to Jesus in heaven. IONA are the Irish Tea Party.

Let's not forget that Paul Murphy ,by all accounts, could've been a top barrister and consequently could have spent the the rest of his life overcharging 'us' the people however he chose the worst possible path-to try and make a difference-not the kind that decorates the opening chapter of so many ministerial memoirs but the 'real' thing whereas those resplendent,articulate,well educated men and women stood firmly behind their man Hogan who,with a glint in his eye and a sneer on his face announced how he would put manners on families with young children who couldn't pay their water bill.
It has been standard practice down through the decades to 'label' anyone who questioned the system as a troublemaker,communist,socialist,begrudger.Is'nt it about time we stopped accepting these lame,lazy, condemnations and start to think for ourselves?

Will do - just as soon as Mr Murphy tells us what he proposes and more important how he proposed his nirvana will be financed. I won't hold my breath waiting for that answer :rolleyes:
