    Poor old John sounds old enough to be preparing for his own demise than worrying about the flag being flown at half mast for Prince Philip's funeral.

    Segment quickly abandoned as Andrea's feeble attempt to **** stir has failed - yet again.

    Our native equivalent to uk "gammon", obsessed with nationalism and flags.

    Fair play to yer man for trying to give a platform to the "national outrage" over littering, but if this objection to littering was truly "national" and widespread, we wouldn't have such a problem. We are truly filthy as a nation when it comes to litter...with no (collective) sense of responsibility or adhering to rules/laws.

    Andrea always recycles topics from Newstalk Breakfast. They are then always recycled by Ciaran Cuddihy later that afternoon. Ciara and Shane went big on the postcode discrimination earlier today

    Nothing wrong with asking someone ‘what school did you go to?’. You might know someone they’d know if they went to good rugby school.

    Common enough question around the corridors of UCD, back when I was there. Obviously, you’re not going to be any the “wiser” if you’re talking to someone from the country, or a northsider, but you still ask to be polite.

    It’s the same as asking someone where they’re from. A mix of “curiosity” and common courtesy.

    The tide is turning…

    She really strikes me as someone who is very low on stuff to talk about.

    A big fan of recycling too i bet.

    Also, this craic of her having not been back to BallyShannon since the start of lockdown. I know it's national radio and all but be a bit honest. It's like saying ye never mitched school or some such.

    You reckon she's lying?

    Why would she do that?

    never experienced it personally in Ireland. asking where you are from sure - but what secondary school you went to? who cares?

    i couldn't tell anything about someone by what name they gave me in that situation... st theresas / st lukes - not a clue..

    maybe if they said they were an old Etonian..

    It depends, though. You'd use your common sense. You wouldn't ask someone in the queue at Centra, unless it's the UCD Centra; but you'd ask in other contexts, if searching for something to say.

    That's one issue I have with these broad questions posed on radio discussions. There's no hard and fast rule. Most people know when to ask.

    In Centra? God, no. They might reply ‘Kings Hos’, ‘Sanford Park’, ‘CUS’ or, if you’re very unlucky, ‘Gonzaga’.

    Nothing worse than getting stuck with the Vinnie Murray “types”.

    But then you just tell them to hurry up and finish making your sandwich.

    I think andrea is trying but the show is just not suiting her. She needs to listen to people instead of interrupting people. And the ..I SUPPOSE. AND LUNCHTIME LIVE every second, is getting a bit much. Hopefully she'll get it rite eventually. Jasas it's bad atm.

    Yeah, there seems to be a lot of complaints around the tax payer footing the bill but putting them on the housing list, and into temporary housing, isn’t going to save us much in the long run either.

    Would be great if the builders/developers could be made pay for it.

    Isn't it funny how those directly responsible get to walk away from the mess they created?

    Am I missing something here? He got red carded for describing her broadcasting skills? Isn't that one of the points of this forum?


    please tell me there was something else. Just saw someone get carded on the golf forum for criticising Rory McIlroy's performance yesterday, so I genuinely don't know if any criticism of anybody for anything is now off limits
