This lad is some headbanger. Great radio though.

Joe_ Public · 10-06-2020 10:48am

Had never heard of this lad before. Job done i suppose. I'd say he was hoping for liveline but struck oil and got the prime today slot instead. Might yet land the twofer.

Eoin stuck for words today in his ideas when actually taken up on them.

Gwynplaine · 10-06-2020 10:51am

That accent is like poison being poured into my ears. I can just picture Joe sitting there in his tracksuit with the white socks pulled up over the ankles, the €200 airmax, the Burbuddy hat, the Soverdidden rings, the greasy hair, sunken eyes.
Sarah is a breath of fresh air to the show. Great interviewer, and easy to listen to.

Cole · 10-06-2020 10:51am

Sarah could do her best combative grilling act all morning with that Joe fella...going nowhere. Kind of entertaining

Had a quick look at that website - God. It could do with a bit of editing to make a more professional impression. If I was an investor I wouldn't go near it based on what I see there.

SF don't want people to be able to sell their property on the open market and don't want people to be allowed let their family members move in. Next they'll be making rent optional. As Joe was pointing out, most of landlords have one property for rent as a part of their pension plans and SF want to punish these people for making prudent financial decisions.

Cole · 10-06-2020 11:15am

I'm a bit puzzled why you liked my post, Gwynplaine...it was meant as a criticism of attitudes and perceptions towards individuals based solely on their accent. Oh well

Well able for her and o'Broin, need a few more like him, but probably wont be invited back because he has no problem calling a spade a spade.

Incorrect advice by Eoghan Corry regarding EHIC covering you medically in all places Ryanair visit. If you are taken by ambulance in a Spanish resort you are most often brought to the local private hospital not covered by the EHIC, and need insurance for that. Don’t know if the government advisory would affect that, but insurance companies do try to slide out of everything they can. It’s different travelling to major European cities where the public ambulance will ordinarily bring you to a public hospital. It’s something people get caught out with all the time, and you can end up seriously ill in a private hospital with a major bill to pay if you need immediate treatment and it’s unsafe to transfer you to a public one.

Cant stand that posh boy O'Broin playing the working class image, always out with line with ''I Rent'' ''I live in a rented property'' i'm sure he could afford to buy a place with his TDs salary not like someone on the minimum wage.

But i suppose its that image that keeps him in a job because i can't think of another one.

Presumably he has asked his parents to cut him out of their will. It wouldn't really be appropriate for committed "socialists" like his curent partner and him to benefit from someone else's financial acumen.

Lot of fat cats, literally and metaphorically amongst the ‘socialist’ classes

I wonder whether Ibrahim Halawa and his sisters regularly drop in to the Boylan/O'Broin gaff for a cup of tea and a chat.

Ha, I'd forgotten all about him! The media seem to have done so as well, now that they've served the purpose of securing a free house for him. No doubt they are holding him in reserve though for when they need to tell us what a shower of islamophobes we all are.

I could be mistaken but I'm sure I heard him on telling of his "Plight" to Ray Darcy or someone similar lately.

I thought many were telling us that Ibrahim was going to be constantly in the news recruiting people to the cause.

Guess that didn't happen after all.

Yes he was on Ray D'Arcy last week. I think he said he works at night and goes to college during the day.
He changed courses to do Human rights law. No doubt some quango will employ him eventually.

He was on Twitter last week trying to claim that his treatment during his period in prison was because of racism. He was essentially trying to link himself to the BLM stuff.

How can one be racist among ones own. Maybe its because everyone is racist now.??

Well well Smug Simon Coveney got slapped around by Sarah this morning, he got quite tetchy at times when Sarah moved on quickly from the news of Ireland winning a seat on the absurd UN security Council. I was watching on news now, if looks could kill he was not at all happy at Sarah's dogged persuit of answers re the lack of clarity for the proposed (equally absurd coalition), at one stage raising his eyes in frustration.

As an aside just as it was getting interest, RTE switch to live mass from Kerry, WTF is that about, I thought we'd moved on from the angelus and this stuff a long time ago.

She did but who would blame her, Coveney seemed only intent on listening to his own voice. He attempted yet again to claim it was only SF raising eyebrows about this proposed coalition and she rightly was having none of it. Notwithstanding infighting already evident internally on all concerned parties, there's numerous outside and unbiased entities predicting a train wreck.

Marvelous stuff, I think she's brought quite a bit of fresh air to what had been a predictably dull show.

It's a pity that Sarah doesn't apply her Vincent Brown style of questioning to spoofers other than politicians who appear on her show.

This morning, she let Anne Graham of the NTA off the hook twice when asking about masks not being mandatory on public transport.

What should you do, says Sarah, if you are the only one wearing a mask on a bus and evryone else is not. Who do you complain to?

Well, says Anne, the passengers should "start a conversation" about wearing masks in an attempt to "encourage" their use. Sarah took that without followup, but went back to it again after people texted in.

And Anne Graham just repeated her bullsh1t. And Sarah let it go again.

Instead of saying this:

"Here you go Anne, here's a scenario. I'm a vulnerable older person in my 70s on the bus, and on come a group of teenage young lads, none of whom are wearing masks. I try and "start a conversation" and they tell me to get lost and start laughing among themselves.

What do I do then, Anne?"

He wasn’t going to be interrupted and bet down by hectoring from Sarah.

Fair play to him.

In fairness to her she has to ask questions, but this Vincent Browne scattergun flashbulb type of hectoring was rightly batted down by Coveney and she was put in her box

She gets lost in anger - Seam O'Rourke had the skill to let them make the fool of themselves and not be the point.

He would often end with - "ok , sure we will see how that pans out , or works " - or ask a question in a softer way but make a point". The slow death.

Sarah is all anger too early - everything shuts down so quick.

Brendan Bendar · 23-06-2020 10:15am

Nice little vanilla interview by Sarah on MLMCD on at the moment.

The usual..... name checking all round and ‘ gentle ‘ questioning .

Big difference from the tone of the interview with Meehawl this am.

Cat is out of the bag here.

Del.Monte · 23-06-2020 11:29am

An unfortunate retired Yank lady (who claims she is tech-savvy) was taken by the most basic scam for €26,000...you really couldn't make it up. Offered $500k and couldn't resist. Whatever happened to common sense e.g. phone a friend, solicitor etc. Greed leads to disaster once again. If something looks to be good to be true it always is.

neris · 30-06-2020 11:13am

Banks shouldn't lend recklessly but should throw money at those who's employment & finances are up in the air at the moment. The weird & whacky thinking of the shinners

Some beauts being interviewed at Dublin airport this morning. A few groups on their way to Amsterdam for 2 or 3 day trips for sightseeing....will quarantine for 2 weeks when they come home.
It's a great little country!

touts · 01-07-2020 10:09am

Out of work for 4 months and now off to Amsterdam for three days to get high and experience the "nightlife".

There's €350 a week of taxpayers money well spent.

Regardless of whether or not you should be travelling abroad right now (you absolutely shouldn't) - are you suggesting that people who earn money from the taxpayer (civil servants, public servants, social welfare, etc) should have conditions attached that decide what they can and can't spend it on?

Orwellmerchant · 01-07-2020 11:13am

What's worse is giving these arseholes airtime. These are the kind of self-absorbed narcissists who will document every minute of their trip on Instagram for a bit of adoration from the distracted multitude. The equivalent of patting a dog on the head.

Peter from Gort · 01-07-2020 12:17pm

I don't get boards posters who are against people traveling to mainland Europe. There's as much chance of spreading coronavirus around by traveling from Dublin to Connemara than there is of traveling from Dublin to Amsterdam but staycation is being encouraged ðŸ€” I'm confused.

There isn't really.

The number of possible 1st degree, 2nd degree contacts you may have is much greater the further you travel.

Not to mind, the airplane scenario of a couple of hours in close contact with many people greatly increases the risk of picking up the virus.

Peter from Gort · 01-07-2020 12:30pm

There was a lot of hysteria in local media back at Easter at dirty Dubliners coming down to the west at Easter weekend spreading the coronavirus, similar to European travel hysteria at the moment. My attitude is sure we can't hide under our beds from this virus forever. It'll still be here this day next year.
