DoctorEdgeWild · 31-07-2020 3:02pm

Up until today I had thought Katie was very smart, good broadcaster and generally streetwise. But this? Surely, hopefully, she's just playing the part? Very disappointing if she can't see the unbelievably obvious.

Imagine working in the bank and having to indulge these calling in to the bank in person. "I only linked on the email three times because I thought the first time was suspicious ".

I have to agree....she is a bit more engaged that Joe Duffy...who sounds like he is asleep most of the time....but she doesn't challenge callers at all...not even a wee "to play devil's advocate....bla bla bla"

No quarantining for the great one on his return from the chateau. Essential services maybe

And all due diligence was done and that was verified. It wasn't just someone having a laugh?

I can just imagine if Joe had been at the helm.

Joe:"Tell me Mary, not your real name, how did it make you feel?"
Mary: Terrible Joe
Joe:"Yeah, go on, tell us more Mary, aw yeah"

Hello.. will the dead fetish misery merchant have to self isolate for 14 days having returned from France, that country is on the red list.

No doubt he will get a pass or something, or maybe Damien O'R will do the quarantine for him.

I swear to god if he is back in RTE D4 studio and not working from the Chateau du Clontarf I'm going to shop him. For all the misery he enjoyed for months if not years now. Payback time. LOL, but it is an ecumenical matter just the same.

Atlantic Dawn · 31-07-2020 10:08pm

There's absolutely no factual basis for suggesting that he did. I don't know how this started, but it seems to have taken legs.

Neither does he get paid for bank holidays, or any holidays. Being a contractor, any holiday represents a loss of earnings.

I know I have the humour of a wet rag in saying that (sorry) but we needn't exaggerate or invent stuff to criticise Joe. There is plenty of material from 1345 to 3pm.

Check behind the headstones in your local graveyard.

Joe will be there, ehm , re-plastering the old cracked ones.

He likes that.

I realy am at a loss as to why he keeps going on about the circus.

Nice line at the end too: "I thought about getting on a bike, but as my daughter said to me, at my age it is a bit late to take it up,” he added.

“I have no sense of balance, I really don’t and I live in fear that if I was on it someone would open a car door and that would be the end of me.”

fritzelly · 03-08-2020 12:02am

WW reporting there

Exactly how often are circuses in an area?

sligojoek · 03-08-2020 12:04am

He has more in common with Ivor than we thought.

“I have no sense of balance, I really don’t and I live in fear that if I was on it someone would open a car door and that would be the end of me.

sligojoek · 03-08-2020 12:08am

And he insists that getting these childrens’ shows back on the road is essential for the well-being of Irish youths.

Joe, I've news for you. Irish youths have more interesting things to do than going to circuses.

Well-meaning but misplaced childhood nostalgia, would be my guess.

I'd shut the lot of them down permanently, if I had a choice.

There's only one "Duffy's Circus" that I find entertaining, and it runs between a quarter-to-two and 3pm weekdays.

Epic orchestral version of ‘Sunburst’ by Picturehouse

03-08-2020 2:43pm

Glad to get a night's sleep last night after an otherwise nice hotel in Tullamore being filled with seemingly plenty of unsupervised salta de eert teenagers shouting through the night. The high volume of salta d'eert voices made much worse by paper-thin walls. Do people realise that you can gear every single thing being said in Irish hotels that come with a price tag under €150 per night? I was looking for Texas Tom to have a word about them.

Whilst in Offaly I dropped into Mena for a cuppa, her bog water tea is lovely, but her scones nearly broke my teeth as she had used too much floor and then over-baked them.

Oddly I actually got a tan being outdoors in de pelting relentless rain in de west of Ireland last week-de air is very pure there and sun's rays penetrate even thickest of clouds. Doobalin air is thick with fuel fumes that serve as sun protection. Completely different light in west.

Maybe if the Circuses were open, the youth of today could go to them rather than get hammered in Kilkee?

It is very strange though how the man who almost always posts a photo of Clontarf on his daily morning stroll on his twitter feed goes into radio silence so to speak for the 3 weeks he's off............#justsayin'

As for your comment on "a loss of earmings'; I really think that's very badly worded - it's not a loss per se, rather than he didn't avail of the opportunity to "earn" more in his case. If I was earning €400,000+for a few hours work a week paid to me in the most tax efficient way possible I could afford to take the 10 weeks off Mr. Duffy does every year too.

Also, it seems off to use the contractor defence for the same man who, when spectaculary failing to understand the concept of a contractor himnself moaned publicly aboput not getting sick pay from RTE when he hurt the leg. This while he sued the lady who hit him btw.

I don't follow Joe on Twitter (I was blocked, then unblocked!) but I assume he, naturally, uses it as a platform to promote himself and the show. The fact that he posts fewer tweets when he's off work is hardly a basis for inventing a claim that he's away in France — as far as I can tell, this France thing is a complete myth.

You are right to point out the fallacy of "a loss of earnings". No doubt Duffy's obscene fees have been carefully negotiated in a way that allows him ample time for holidays, and in this way, a bank holiday does not truly represent a loss of earnings.

Ye boys have the street cred of having being blocked by Joe, whoy doesn't he block me instead of following me so to speak?

He's clearly trying to curry favour with you, Cat, watch him slide into your DMs any day now.

I am actually looking forward to tomorrow's show, because although it might turn into a veritable book-signing, Joe Duffy probably has more insight into Northern Irish politics than most broadcasters in RTÉ — which isn't saying much for RTÉ

I'd say it will be an interesting show, obviously the only possible topic is John Hume.
