Uh oh.... The Jewish question... The wheels are about to come off here..

Shows just how poor Brendan O' Carroll's 'comedy' writing is, when he has to rely on the fluffed lines and out-takes for the bigger laughs.

Who the hell tells people on Facebook that they were done for drink driving?

I hate Facebook myself and this guest is re enforcing my attitude towards it.

The problem isn't facebook, it's the people who are on it.

Here we go -

Can't drink coffee anymore.
Can't drink juice anymore.
Can't eat Today's Bread Today anymore.
Can't eat pasta anymore.
Can't eat yogurt anymore, (for those who do eat that shíte).
No more smoothies either.

What you can eat

An apple and some nuts.

Oh and two biscuits.

^ And I'm guessing you're not using honey as a sweetener any more either..


Just heard the party political message on behalf of Brid Smith... "We've had it up to here with charges".... I'm not sure that's really gonna work on the wireless Bríd.

Well......I was feeling a bit down today and then the clip of Rory from Mrs Brown came on the radio and I disgraced myself with hysterical laughter outside of the shops in town. I suppose that sometimes, mrs B just tickles the old funny bone!!!!!

You're easily amused so.

Yeah........me and all the Brits that voted it with an award. Lighten up and let me lift my sadness gently!

Lighten up? I'm merely making an observation. Relax. Where's your sense of humour now?

I'm sure you are aware of this, but the whole reason behind the questioning on Israel was that he appeared on Liveline a while back saying how much he loved Israel, and a flood of pro palestinian callers rang in and gave him a verbal battering..

All geared up for another great show today.. I'm hoping I dont fall asleep, but I'm sure I'll be woken to the sweet sound of Marian's smoker's cough..

Who was the guest yesterday? Is it worth listening back?

Did you get any sleep at all:eek::eek: Last I heard you were spending the night with Derek Mooney.... Well, his dawn chorus at least... :pac:

Rory Cowan, plays the gay character Rory in Mrs Brown's Boys. He was on talking about the show, and how it's been syndicated to countries that dont necessarily approve of homosexuality. Marian started asking him questions about Israel... He said how much he loved Israel, and Marian started questioning him about partitioning walls and the like.


Rory was on Liveline in 2012 defending his attendance at a Pro-Israeli demo in Dublin city..

Dunphy not taking any crap here fair play to him.

At least one of Marian's guests always seems to be just off a plane or about to board one.

Callan57

Martin Callinan the most senior police officer in the country with an impressive CV & years of dealing with every class of low life in the country and he was intimidated into early retirement by a call from a civil servant? I watched Mr Callinan at the PAC & he didn't strike me as a man easily intimidated.

As Victor Meldrew might say I don't believe it .... clearly the civil servant had some major ammo when he called.

Harry Angstrom

Dunphy should be on every week. He's one of the few guests who doesn't mind ruffling a few feathers. Marian's guests are invariably of the ruling class variety who all agree with each other. Her Sunday studio is usually full of Churchill nodding dogs.

Paul Williams is severely allergic to the sound of whistles blowing. He's probably recuperating in a darkened room as we speak.:rolleyes:

I agree with this 100%.. I was delighted to hear his name mentioned at the end of the introductions, after hearing the names of Marian's usual bunch of PR consultants, ex civil servants and general insiders.. You know that he'll "keep them straight" and prevent the show from descending in to the usual cosy, pretentious love in..

So the guards are allowed to have a union now... Are they not dysfunctional enough as it is?

I didn't know that.

It was odd to hear Marzie as the voice of reason/devil's advocate though.

No, not all the time. I tuned it to hear him moaning..."I didn't interrupt you..." and moments later he was interrupting another speaker...jeez...

As Marzie might say, I found his defence of Israel to be "extraordinary".

Basically, what he was saying was that there was no discrimination because he hadn't seen it.

You could imagine many apartheid apologists back in the day saying the same thing ...

I'm a bit afeared that Mary Hanafin is gonna make an appearance on today's show.. :mad:

The political correspondant, the journalist, the civil servant and the lifetime academic... Add a "PR advisor" to that list and her panels are as predictable as The Village People at this stage....

Doubt Ronan Mullens will.

The "32 days extra leave" assertion WAS rebutted by the union.. You would think this lad would know his facts before talking about it on the national airwaves...

I heard that 32-day mention but I have no recollection of hearing anyone from IMPACT rebutt it - maybe they did but I didn't hear it and I listen to a fair amount of news & current affairs radio.

As usual, Finnucane never asks the obvious question which is why Rehab is a registered charity while claiming that they are a commercial organisation providing services to the state for which they are paid by the state at commercial rates?
I thought that a charity was an organisation which seeks charitable donations to provide goods or services to people who need them, free of charge.

He's just so knowledgeable it just cascades out of him ... miss him dreafully from current affairs coverage. Unlike VB he was always so incredibly polite to anyone he was interviewing even when he was subtly "wiping the floor with them"
