Bloomin Bloom Bloom Bloom Bloom Bloom.

Every time I went near a radio in the last week, there was an item advertorial on Bloom.

Whoever handles their PR deserves a payrise.

It must cost the Bloom crowd a bloomin fortune.

Very interesting details from Pat Rabbitt on the medical card issue ... facts can be very enlightening!

"James Reilly has confirmed to me that no call was every made asking somebody who had a child with Down's Syndrome if the condition had improved"

RTE have the name and number of the people who rang in to Liveline, why dont they bring them on air?

Dr Ciara is wiping the floor with that smug arrogant git Rabbitte.

Funny the way any suggestion of any change or review is instinctively resisted by doctors.

Have any of the highly paid "advisors" taken a hit for the election debacle?

You naively assume that everyone who rings Liveline tells the unvarnished truth.

I dont agree with Shane Ross that the opposition's questioning of the Government is driven by patriotism, and not simply the wish win political points by making the Government parties look bad... If you listen to any of Mary Lou MacDonald's cynical, smarmy, sarcastic, sanctimonious questions(/statements) in the Dail, you will be left in no doubt that it's all political...

Maybe she ask some serious questions of her own leader before moving on to the Government parties, because from how she explains it, Gerry hasnt been giving her the full story.

David Drumm has been most generous and kind to his wife.........what's not to like.

CountyHurler

Lorraine Drumm was worried he was going to die of a heart attack... In complete contradiction to the way the rest of the country felt about him.

There's a world of difference between having a review and the cack-handed and disgusting way that the Government went about taking away medical cards from the people who needed them most.

Harry Angstrom

Drumm got a business visa to enter the US. He ends up bankrupt. Surely the fcuker's visa should be rescinded?

Oops69

This obsession with Roy keane is getting pathetic and embarrassing now .

CountyHurler

It's a hard decision for Keane... Difficult opportunity to turn down, but I think he should stay with Ireland for the moment... Take the Celtic job the next time it comes around.

I couldn't agree more. I'm a football fan but this constant speculation about what Roy is doing, or is going to do next, is getting ridiculous.

I DONT EFFING CARE.:eek:

I think it would have been more of a surprise if the Sunday Times has uncovered evidence suggesting that the World Cup in Qatar HADNT been bought..

Surely going to the US for the purpose of declaring yourself bankrupt is a contravention of their visa rules? Then again do we really want him back ... he is surely the least mourned member of our diaspora.

Isn't it extraordinary how the rules are so different for the guys at the top?

It's harrowing listening to more on the treatment of girls and their babies but society didn't just develope "these attitudes" out of nowhere - society was deliberabetly and determindly moulded to hold these attitudes & mainly by the RC church.
And to add insult to injury we follow this with the Angelus Bell !!!

Harry Angstrom

Here we are, back to these feckin property discussions again.

"Oh woe is me Marian, I want to buy a house in a posh area for half a mill but those pesky estate agents are double crossing us and the prices keep going up"

Where have we heard all of this bullsh!t before? :rolleyes:

constitutionus

boo hoo. i cant buy a gaff in sandymount.

Well this certainly puts the mother and baby tuam story into perspective. Not being able to buy in D4 and D6 is a national tragedy.

constitutionus

Entertainment journalist for the hearald.

FFS luv ya want a million dollar gaff get a REAL job.

Harry Angstrom

It's Marian's middle-class hour. Next up, how to make the most out of leftover hummus.....

bottlebrush

Listen ladies the mistakes of the past as you call it were fuelled by people wanting to live only in so called salubrious locations in Dublin. Do you not get the irony in what you are doing?

Harry Angstrom

Ah just fcuk off, the pair of ye :mad:

Callan57

Does she not see that being prepared to pay 400K plus for a "fairly basic 3 bed" is also fueling the problem ... can she not see the connection between her attitude and the "problem".

BTW can anyone tell me what an entertainment journalist is? Is that even a real job?

All jurnos are "entertainment journalist", does anyone believe anything they write, or report.

Right. I'm gonna buy me an electric toothbrush, some floss and a big bag of sweets !

It was actually pretty offensive, hearing the Angelus after that. Marian has forgotten to play the bells a few times in the past. Today, it would have been appropriate if she had said "Actually, fuck the angelus..." rather than "Now we'll pause for the angelus" - as if that stupid, nasty religion deserves an ounce of respect.

I meant to comment on that actually.. (I was painting a wall at the time so I couldn't respond at the time) I burst out laughing when she said that... The irony.... complaining about the influence of the Church in society which led to all of the atrocities that they were talking about.... Only to then prove their subservience to the Church STILL...

Anyone listening to the quiz on Miriam's show..

"What was stolen from Michael Flatley's house earlier this year?"

What an odd question.

Maybe it's a trick question and only the thief knows the full answer?

Why are we again discussing Miriam on the Marion Finucane topic?

Gene Kerrigan superb article in todays Sindo - hits the nail firmly on the head. I'm expect it to be mentioned on MARION's show
