    Obviously, the eulogies were deemed permissible today. A case of one law for the commoners? I wonder will Joe pass comment?

    Jaysus, that was a quick end to the auld thread.
    I went to make a cup of coffee and as Gaybo himself might have put it: "There it was....gone".

    Thought everybody had died like Gaybo, or that I had.

    There wasn’t en endless string of them. It was quite dignified, no room for Duffy to make himself prominent again. I had to laugh when he said Kathleen specifically asked that it be broken on Liveline. Maybe she did indeed, but if she didn’t she would be too dignified to make a point of having that statement withdrawn.

    FunnnyFryday levels of thread engagement today so to speak. D'Omen is usually good for an auld row, but is obviously failing today (I'm not listening).


    A strict guide was given from the big man himself, Joe that is. 'Damo, I don't want any funny business on today's show, ye hear me, I want d'miseries on the phones'

    I seen bullying first hand quite often in secondary school in the early 80s.

    Its nothing new.

    I don't ever remember hearing stories of kids commiting suicide over it. Maybe they did in certain places. Are kids less resilient? Is suicide too talked about and putting it in their minds as an option?

    But I think schools need to take a zero tolerance approach to it. Maybe if the young ones could start a movement like they have to Extinction Rebellion, and start calling out bullies, things might improve.

    I think you are right on just about all counts now. You have the culture where everyone is given a prize, setting up for failure to learn that there are in reality winners and losers; everyone is told how wonderful they are are at everything, that they are simply the best in everything they are and do. Then they are given full internet enabled phones at a very tender age and tossed headlong into the world of obscene pornography, degradation, suicide suggestions, satanism, impossible expectations of appearance and deed, and we expect them to emerge as self-respecting, peer-respecting functional human beings?

    In 50 years time people will be asking “where where you when Joe Duffy announced Gaybo death”

    Jesus I got a land just there. Opened the thread and it was closed. I immediately thought, 'who is after saying what they really feel about Duffy ' and the mods closed it down ;):).

    Well, they do say every revolutionary has his price.
    I think we know what his is.

    He’s usually very quick to block anyone who dares to suggest the Emperor has no clothes, how did you manage to avoid this?

    The parody account was amusing while it was going. I’ve heard that it was difficult to maintain though as it was rather time consuming.
