Oh and "Diggy"

So a political secretary and RTE staffer, a former politician, a current RTE political reporter, two reporters and a spin doctor....

3 of them are known Fianna Fáil

Harry Angstrom

Diggy - Gamekeeper turned poacher.

Derek Mooney on line one.

Pretty childish from Derbhail MacDonald.... She sounds delighted that the winner turned out to be gay so as to ruin the whole thing on the event organisers...

Ironically, the vast majority of those who are deeply critical of 'lovely girls' contests, are deeply unattractive themselves.

Harry Angstrom

Somebody had better get on the phone to Pope Francis. I reckon we'll have a St Albert of Roosky by the end of the year.

No, it is just hilarious in context of this particular stupid outdated farce.

I actually find the coverage of his life a lot more measured than the farce that happened when Haughey died.

EDIT Or even worse, when Ahern retired.

CountyHurler

Am I at the Fianna Fail Ard Fheis?

Harry Angstrom

Why do we have to be in eternal debt to politicians just because they provide us with decent roads? It's their fcukin job to do these things. Do people in the UK swoon about their motorways? Do they feel the need to thank their MP's because they're able to drive from London to the North of England??

Hoi, the idle rich land / company owning classes have to find suitable gold-diggers somewhere, and it saves all that tedious nightclubbing.

If Albert Reynolds was Taoiseach Garth Brooks would have played twenty nights in Croke Park.

Harry Angstrom

She hasn't missed a Mayo match since she was 10, she's 17 now. I thought she was going to say she's 62.

Nice sound effects there!! :eek:

Mammy's hearing aid perhaps?!

Dan Jaman

"We'll try and get rid of that squeaky noise."

Right - who's for the door?

dvcireland

squeaky noise = Brian Dowling's annoying accent

Harry Angstrom

Aine's hearing a squeaky noise. I've been hearing it since 11.05, when Mary O'Rourke first opened her gob.

dvcireland

ffs albert and garth, who would of thought

Dan Jaman

I think this programme / RTE should be aborted and tried again.

CountyHurler

I think it's far too easy for the media and other commentators to give out from the sidelines about how this woman was not given access to an abortion... The woman landed in the country and the state knows nothing at all about her expect that she is pregnant and in a state of distress... And the doctors are expected to take (and be responsible for) the decision to kill the child..

It always stuck me as hugely contradictory that many people in this country who view the death penalty for evil criminals as being "abhorrent" think that abortion is a human rights issue.

dvcireland

Albert even managed the short lived music ensemble, Crystal Swing featuring the Offaly Crooner Brian Cowen

No more contradictory than those who abhore abortion but actively promote the death penalty & the proliferation of guns ... human nature :rolleyes:

Just wondering did anybody watch the video?

Nope. After seeing the Begley one a few years ago, it was enough.
I was filled with fury then, and still am. It's not good for me to feel such hatred, so I won't play their game.

I couldn't believe my ears when she came out with that. I think even the interviewee was taken aback.

I think Aine might have been reading "A Guide to Interviewing Techniques" by R.Tubridy.

I've yet to see one that didn't turn in to a child, excluding those that were disposed of. But if it makes you feel better then sure, "a foetus is not a child". I'm sure you probably have that in BIG LETTERS on your posters for the rally.

Send in a letter of concern.

Just what the worlds needs today , another dose of IRA apologist crap . All this guy does is talk about ' our rights ' , he obviously never heard of the concept of ' responsibilities '

CountyHurler

Why is she talking to Nicky Byrne like he is 15 and heading to his first festival?

sudzs

50 inches??? :eek: I thought maybe she meant cm but it seems not.

CountyHurler

RTE going all out this week against the 50 inch waist-ed fat kids.. Maybe it would be more constructive if they stopped advertising coke and sweets during the kids programming?

constitutionus

these health nazis do my head in.

the problem ISNT the fecking food.

its modern life.

your not built to sit on your arse all day in a school,workplace etc. so ya cant be surprised when ya end up being a fat bastard no matter what ya eat if you do fuk all exercise.

even a "healthy" diet would result in the same if you portions were big enough. wait n see if guys like this get all the "bad" stuff banned , theyll be onto THAT next.

good to see this bloke just trash others claims with no balance from the host though on his stats for them .

job per usual from RTE.

CountyHurler

It shouldnt be sold in supermarkets, but it should be sold in an off license.. cos it's at a separate till and we are made more conscious of the purchase.. :rolleyes:

What about if I go in to the supermarket and only buy alcohol, would she be happy with that..

signostic

I thought that whiskey had come down in price, it was about the only that Linehan reduced tax on when he was hammering everything else with tax and levies

Good grief! I was 50"+ at my fattest. For kids, that's just unbelievable.
