    Thought the interview with the french producer of the Netflix Sophie Toscan du Plantier doc was terrible.

    The guy was very emotional and then wouldn’t really answer any questions. The “sign off” was awkward too, Andrea called it a podcast. It seemed, to me, like she just wanted it over.

    She can generally handle herself well on pure political and economic items but on nearly everything else she is lost at sea and has near to no ability to freestyle with guests if it veers off track or goes of script. She either asks stupid questions, repeats the guests points or goes quiet.

    I generally either tune out to listen to music or switch station but sometimes I'll tune in blind hope that it'll be better. It rarely is.

    Haha this is so true.

    Andrea: "........ And how did that make you feel?"

    After much hyping of the Cocaine item it turns out to be a damp squib and the former druggie should have used a voice changing machine to make himself understood. :rolleyes:

    More crap from some legal eagle (?)woman who claims to have no connection with Gardai kicking up over new Gardai rules on haircutting, tattoos etc. As usual Andrea is clueless but thinks Gardai should be able to have green hair and wear t-shirts. :rolleyes:

    If you're stupid enough to get an obvious neck or face tattoo and surprised you cant get a job in a public facing role that isn't a hipster cafe or a tattoo parlour well that's on you.

    Interesting. The last thing I wanted to do was traipse around having photos taken but I knew I'd regret it if I didn't. I had no more interest on the day in them.

    So if you don't have Covid but have something else you should still isolate?

    Our venue had its own 'grounds' so plenty of photo opportunities. I was ready for bed at 3pm though. Wet grass, ridiculous dress, bouquet bigger than me head, barriers to comfort Emmet. There's definitely a market for 'bridal tracksuits'.

    Sorry, I was referring to that “segment” where they had a bride on who’d taken pictures in the park but had no issue with it. Not what Andrea et al were looking for.

    I’m sure your photos are great. A professional photographer is essential, even though it can go on a bit too long when you just want to get back to the party.

    Might I suggest a comfortable, yet fancy, trainer to go with the tracksuit “idea”? The feet can take an awful hammering is the formal wedding shoes.

    Amusing listening to the show earlier today, discussing the problem of tinkers trespassing on farms , suffice to say this wasn't highlighted

    If Pat Kenny has done the Covid scare mongering to death than Andrea shouldn't follow up with more Covid chat. Give it a rest.
