If you're going to have a guy on talking about how great West Side Story and then describe the "America" song, don't bull**** and pretend you know it - it's not a fight between two groups of girls, it's between the guys and the girls. So basically I'm now not remotely interested in the rest of what you have to say, because your research is crap.

I thought we were rid of Olan when the Mooney Show finished. He must have been jealous that the rest of the crew got a gig for the Dawn Chorus. Hope Brenda doesn't turn up on The Week In Politics.

Heard her battering down the mic. on Countrywide last Sunday morning or was it Saturday still forcing the words like a battering ram down the airwaves.

Had to hit the off button after a minute or two, couldn't take the delivery at that hour of the morning.

Blánaith turned up on something over the weekend as well.

Ah Holy God borrowing from a money lender to go to a hen party - serious question about priorities there IMHO

Sure she'll be grand. Isn't there an election coming and the welfare will go up. When someone else picks up the tab for you all your life how can you be expected to be responsible with their money.

Yep - the poor are having such a great time on welfare, it's a wonder we're not all on it ... :rolleyes:

Well , I get the irony, board, but the attitude of that lady would genuinely boil the piss of any taxpayer struggling to make a living.

It's retorts like that get people's backs up.

Everybody knows that there are genuine people struggling out there,however,there are also plenty of chancers out there abusing the system, plenty of them.

Why can't people accept that and comment in a rational responsible way?

Because there is a gross disparity in the so called 'abuse' of said sytem-whilst 'chancers' drinking their child support or skimming an extra €28 a week on the dole are deserving of our criticism they don't don't even come close to those resplendent,serf-absorbed,cretinous 'proper' men in suits-now they ARE chancers

Forgive me for saying, but that kind of crap is worse that the previous post.

You know why yourself you don't need me to tell you.

Imprisonment, much less the threat, is absolutely no deterrant for a section of society - we've heard it morning after morning on Paddy O'Gorman's reports

How come lead is only a problem now. Maybe it's because the government can pass on the cost now !

Why do they give this populist, self serving, bandwagon jumping gobsh1te the amount of airtime they do?

How is is the government passing on the cost? Irish water are replacing those lead pipes that are their responsibility; the expectation is that householders will deal with those pipes that are their responsibility.

If the wiring in my house was found to be unsafe, should I expect ESB Networks to make the repair?

The reaction from the couple was a bit OTT. While I wouldn't drink the water, I wouldn't be concerned about showering in it, or cleaning my teeth with it. And could they not get their supplies of drinking water from a friend or family member in a house unaffected by lead?

Callan57 · 06-05-2015 10:53AM

John Drennan - Good Lord I hope Lucinda has told him to stop with the silly one liners.

What is different about employing a former pol corr???? Looks like same old, same old.

John Drennan, Eddie Hobbs, Jonathan Irwin, Karl Deter.

Lucinda must have stolen Matt Cooper's Filofax last time she was on the Last Word.

Wonder what is the collective term for a group of massive egos - would Drennan know I wonder? :rolleyes:

And what if ppl bought homes from the council,who should repair/replace the pipes then. The pipes were defective when fitted(admittedly this was not recognised at the time), should it still be up to the homeowners to replace them. It stinks just like the Pyrite debacle,homeowners left to live in unsafe homes until there's an election on the horizon.

We're drifting away from radio now. My previous answer still applies: the homeowner is responsible from the plumbing in the home. Any builder/vendor responsibility that ever existed is well and truly statute-barred.

The house I live in is about 35 years old, and was built to the standards then applicable. Do you think the builder still has obligations to me if a defect now becomes apparent? Does he have an obligation to me in relation to standards that have been imposed since it was built?

John Drennon as Head of Communications.. I dont understand that one... I always find him infuriating when I hear him on panel shows, with his smart ar$e remarks, his jocose tone and his desperate attempts to be funny... He contributes very little of substance..

I couldn't agree with you more - reminds me of one of those idiots on Funny Friday laughing at their own pathetic "jokes" :mad:
Lucinda is more than welcome to him

Totally correct,only place these people can be hit is in the pocket.

If these charges are legal,and they are, then everyone using the service should pay.

Why should I stump up and my next door neighbour not?

Doesn't compute folks.

legal system,consultants,politicians,CEO's,Bankers-which part have I got wrong?

Since you ask ,and of course I know that you know right well mate.

You are just trying to draw me out, second attempt:D

It's 'WHATABOUTERY' like you can't answer a question or justify a stance by saying ' AAAh but what about......'

You address the point made and the subject.

But you know that, I know, you know, stop playing games mate
