I have cousins who have named their kids Panda, Zebedee and Bashe -- seriously.

Always think it's interesting that there are strict rules on what you can't name a racehorse, but kids are open-season for their parents bizarre whims.

A happy ending? Even after presenting the show for so many weeks, Katie really doesn't understand liveline, does she?

sligojoek · 13-09-2019 3:02pm

Katie wasn't expecting that list.

Had to go to a meeting so missed the end of the show. Listening back now and there are inconsistencies in the first callers story.

After he asked his friend to only vape outside, his voice came back and never went away again.

Then a few minutes later he said he was in a hotel and someone was vaping and his voice went again. So which is it Dermot?

That guy was just a spoofer imo. Whatever you might think of vaping, it could not possibly have the effect he described.
It's not unusual on Liveline for callers to tell the most ridiculous and obviously fabricated stories without being challenged.

Im now listening to the woman whose friend took up vaping after being a heavy smoker for 40 years and had a stroke after taking up vaping.

Katie just pointed out, maybe the stroke was the result of 40 odd years of heavy smoking?

Well, there's always the possibility it's nothing more or less than made-up bullshyt.

So what did we do with this wonderful 'freedom'? The history of the Irish independent state is not all that wonderful.
We had mass poverty and unemployment.
Emigration increased rather than decreased.
We created industrial schools.
We created Magdelene laundries and Mother and Baby homes.
We had draconian laws on divorce and abortion dictated by the Catholic Church.

What really happened was that we replaced oppression by the British with even worse oppression by the Catholic Church. What we created was an oppressive and priest-ridden state presided over by spineless politicians who were elected by a spineless people.
We really have nothing much to be proud of.

That's simply unhistorical, a cliché.

Thing is though, emigration actually slowed down after independence, when Britain was the richest empire in the world in the 19th century, 1 mllion Irish starved to death, another million the British were happy to force on the US through.... immigration.

Poverty and the economy were so bad in Ireland in the early 20th century, they could not actually get worse under free Irish rule.
The British had no interest in helping us, no more than the Indians or Kenyans.

Under Irish rule, emigration slowed down, stopped and reversed.

A lot of people seem to forget that.

Incidentally, laundries and the Church existed before independence.

The people got what they voted for regarding divorce and abortion, it was their choice.

At least broadsheet credited me, unlike de Indo writer who essentially plagiarised my Weekly Column feature, and her.ie (ay least I think it was them) who did the same with my Lahv Lahn Bingo Buzzword Card so to speak.

Both well known rags. Oliver Callan does a great (accurate) depiction on Callan's Kicks where Varadkar hand-picks her.ie at press conferences to ask the most inane, fawning questions about the life of a 'very young celebrity' Taoiseach.

Presumably that means the authors in question read this forum, so without giving them extra traffic to their tabloid websites, let's credit the two 'journalists' as Ciara Knight and Eilís O'Hanlon.

One is an unknown and the other is a known troll, so I doubt anyone is surprised.

Turns out Ivan Calorie does not have a brass neck
Ivor Callely suffers ‘life-changing’ injuries after breaking his neck in horror bike smash

Expenses swindler Callely has been receiving treatment in the spinal unit of Dublin’s Mater Hospital.
The former lag is said to have fallen from his bike after hitting a tree stump.

Callely, who split with his wife, is being comforted by his blonde foreign partner following his ordeal.
He was banged up in 2014 by Judge Mary Ellen Ring

In fairness it's appropriate given the individual involved. Did they leave out "used car salesman"?

It seems Ivan's disregard for the law runs in the family:

The Sun informs:

He has been trying to rebuild his life as a car salesman after being caged for making fraudulent mobile phone expense claims.
The former Fianna Fail Junior Minister and Senator served four months at Wheatfield Prison in Dublin for the scam.

Following on from Dubalin's success in "the GAA thing" I wonder will Mr. Duffy be back anytime soon to complete his own 5 (shows) in a row? Now that would be historic and unprecedented.
