She is making the point that it is next to impossible FOR ANYONE
to get accommodation in the Dublin area. A relative of mine with a
good job has been flat hunting (not in D4!) for the past month, without success.

Be careful what you say about her round these parts folks.

Why , does she run Boatds as well as RTE ?

She might be better employed getting the father of her child to help provide accomodation for him

Unlike Marian, Brendan is actually allowing people to speak and not interrupting!

Will Dave Fanning be reviewing this week's films? :pac:

Well used by him at this stage! Every place he checks out has numerous people,
usually couples, looking at the same apartment.

Things I've learnt from Brendan today:

-The United Kingdom won the 1966 World Cup
-Bobby Womack was primarily a jazz musician

If you were listening more carefully you would also have learnt that Luis Suarez bit someone during the week.

You'd have to be listening very closely though or you would have missed it.

I was up on the roof painting... *says prayer St Lapin (patron saint of people on ladders)*... but I was listening... The start was fairly cringeworthy alright, but he did an okay job... Brendan is doing well now, I'm not sure why RTE wouldnt give somebody else a chance. I reckon Marian didnt want RTE seeing that somebody on half her wages could do the job just as competently..

I'm embarrassed for Caoimhe Ní Laoighan... I particularly cringed when I heard her say "I'm in a very well paid job" after hearing the stories before her... The problem about Caoimhe's predicament is that she expects to be able to hold down a full time job as a single parent and live in a premium part of Dublin. And in reality, it is not really possible (on any wage) to do this without the help of family or one of the parents minding the child while the breadwinner is working. If she doesnt have the support of the father then she IS going to have to concessions.

I ducked out of it for a bit, but caught a lot of it in the background. I was hacked off to find the topic of goofball coming up again - don't the sprots heads get enough of it all bleedin' weekend without it infecting yet another slot?

CountyHurler

There was way too much coverage of Suarez.. tbh, I'm sick of all of the judgmental coverage from RTE.. The bite Suarez gave Cheilline was similar to a pinch, and people are portraying it as if it was like the bite that Tyson gave Holyfield..

The previous night Giles and Co were saying "you need to have a playing who will kill his Granny", and the next day completely condemns Suarez for something that did not endanger his opponent's fitness or health in any way... And can I remind people what George Best said about Giles..

Giles once had his own leg broken “and I’m going to make sure nobody ever does it again”. I see, said (Jack) Charlton, “so every bugger in the league is going to get punished because you once got your leg broke”. But according to Big Jack, “it wasn’t just them, it was us he was putting at risk. John caused us a lot of hassle at Elland Road over the years.”

He caused George Best a fair bit too. “Because we were playing Leeds, I was wearing shinguards,” which saved him from a broken leg. Giles’s studs ripped through his sock, split his shinpad and cut his shin open, “almost ending my career”. Giles was one of the leading playmakers of his day, but it’s impossible to remember him with any affection.

Seems to me that Giles isnt really the best person to be lecturing in football morality

"Verbally destroys" critics? Whoever wrote that headline is either an idiot or being paid to publicise d'fillum (in which case, they're still an idiot). Incidentally, "d'fillum" would have been a slightly better name than "d'movie". The critics hate Mrs Brown because they've watched other comedies, and therefore have something to measure it against. Based upon the comparisons that they're able to draw with other films, they've been able to (more or less unanimously) come to the conclusion that it is shite.

The adoring audience are the kind of people who don't watch a lot of comedy. They've nothing to compare it against, and are probably hearing most of the plagiarised material for the first time (well, since the early '70s anyway).

Yep.A lot of people watch it doesn't mean it ain't crap.
The Late Late has a huge viewership as well but by any definition it too is crap.

If 'most people' hate the 'freaking thing', the film could not be making millions.
That was my point.

Whether or not it is 'crap' is another argument.

Marmite situation - I'd say the majority of people who don't like it actually watch it, hence its entirely possible for the mass market to hate it and for it to be successful.

Oh man, first time on live radio and he goes and breaks a string... It's an acoustic (and as such the other five strings would stay in tune unlike an electric guitar).. not sure why he didnt just play on..

I wonder what the average income of these 'socialists' is. I find it galling to hear some of the best paid people in the country, ( mostly from the public purse), spouting about the poor and the disadvantaged.
