Any mention of the author? Wouldn't surprise me if it was either Joe or Dee Forbes. Is he shagging her or something?

Very good luck with that procedure. Sadly can't have this myself, and oh how I would love it, because of corneal scarring from primitive eye surgery I had to try and regain pilot's license in 80s. Only when it would become absolutely essential could I have lenses implanted as a result of cataracts, as they said touching my corneas to perform any further surgery is risky and might necessitate a corneal transplant, so they won't do it. Can't wear contacts either because of irregular corneal surface. For swimming etc I would just love to be able to have vision, and to be able to try scuba diving. Maybe, just maybe when I'm in my 70s or 80s, or when further advances have been made to treat my type of corneal issues.

He can have it read back by de staff or de missus. Actually if the surgery isn't a success (which it WILL be) we could get away with saying all sorts here. If his vision were too blurred for a couple of days we could have a great chat behind his back and then I could do my mod trick of making it disappear

Unfortunately I believe the results are excellent pretty quickly :pac:

I'm very sorry I have had a few busy weeks, and have not been as loyal to Joe as I should be. I know all his episodes are wonderful, but if one were to single out a show from this week, what should I listen to.

Terrible week to listen back, I'd use the time instead to practice some mad dangerous skill like knife swallying.

My cat's name was just called out on RTÉ radio 1 by Neil after he requested names for pets of de pandemic! Ye may have heard it there, he was the first in the list. Neil remarked that he had suggested names of 4 legged pets but his first caller has 3!

So COVID has taken Larry King from us. There won't be too much fawning over him as he was sympathetic to Trump in his last years. Back in the day on CNN he used to be one of the programmes to be seen on. Could be a bit of a tosser, a good mate of mine sat beside him on some internal flight in the US in the 90's, they started to discuss the Gulf War, he took King to pieces on it. King's response was to threaten to get him arrested on landing if he didn't shut up.

Anyway, Joe Duffy modelled his wardrobe and promo pics on Larry, pity he didn't try to learn a bit about his interviewing style.

RIP Larry King. After Regis Philbin (who he often interviewed), he was the last of a great era of broadcasting in the USA.

Bit of a revolution starting in Russia. Putin made a mistake to poison Navalny etc. I do agree with the police, though, in their attempt to try and attempt people to wear masks etc. Wonder how the Sputnik vaccine is going. Some Yankee accents there! In theory, I'm due to revisit Russia this year in its Siberian Far East on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Last visit in 1979, Moscow, Crimea & St Petersburg, first self-financed summer holiday; got to experience one of final flights of the second ever passenger jet, the TU-104, the first one, the De Havilland Comet 1 having being grounded not long after entering service.

As an six-time veteran of de iSurgeries (all subsequent failures btw) I can testify to de soreness dat duz happen when de eye tissues do be penetrated. Thankfully Phakic Lens deze daze does be a great success, had it been around I would have gone straight for it. Go carefully as yer vision will be blurred until the tissue oedema subsides in a week or two.

Noel Kelly & Co. busy again this weekend planting stories about their top talent:

https://www.rte.ie/culture/2021/0119/1190671-the-books-in-my-life-with-anna-geary/

RTÉ in fairness answering the incessant call for an Anna Geebag Documentary (it’s mentioned in the article). :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Who commissioned this? Hardly a public interest story. Just another puff piece to bolster the career of one of NK’s clients. Utterly disgraceful use of public funds. No doubt complete with appearances on TLLS and every RTÉ TV and Radio show possible to launch this masterpiece.
