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

George Hook was talking about it yesterday.. He said that he's a 44 inch waist, and that's him at almost 19 stone...

Don`t any of the mammies (or daddies) know how to boil a few spuds anymore...

The Budget is only six weeks away!

Jaysus, that sounds exhausting. I'm glad I don't have kids, obese or otherwise.

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:

It was like that shen I was in Australia and so I'd make the trip to the booze shop and buy twice as much in one go because it was such a pain to have to buy it in a different place.

Surely if it's the parents responsibility when the child is found to be malnourished, then it has to be the parent's responsibility when the child is "over" nourished... I think the media are just afraid to put the blame where it belongs.. It's far easier to blame big evil corporations and their evil ads, ignoring both the responsibilities of the parents and the responsibility that RTE and the BAI also have in this regard.

Dan Jaman · 30-08-2014 3:44pm

Grandparents too; always encouraging youngsters to eat up their grub, the heartless bartards. Have they no shame? How can they live with themselves, having inflicted a lifetime of misery on others?

Callan57 · 30-08-2014 5:56pm

It's household bad eating habits ... just go for a walk down any street & you will see that the overweight kids are in 99% of cases accompanied by overweight parents & possibly overweight grandparents too. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

When I was growing up you ate at mealtimes and there was no such thing as snacking inbetween ... no such thing as a "treats press" either I can tell you!

We weren't asked what we wanted either. We didn't snack between meals so when mealtimes came around we were hungry and wolfed down everything!

How hard is it to get the guests to turn off their mobile phones.. dear god.

Diarmuid Ferriter... Usually heard saying things like "Pat, it's not widely known that people in 1913 only took two sugars in their tea, and that had a profound effect on the generations that followed"...

sudzs · 31-08-2014 11:20am

Would somebody ever tell Des Cahill to talk properly. Those pregnant pauses he makes in every sentence do nothing to enhance what he is saying, it's just bloody annoying. Get on with it Des!! :mad:

CountyHurler · 31-08-2014 11:49am

They should have an auction to see who gets to throw the bucket of water over Jim Power. That would raise a few extra thousand..

I wouldn't stop with a bucket & it wouldn't be ice either :mad:

CountyHurler · 31-08-2014 11:55am

I still dont understand why they pack the studio full of guests, and then bring in special contributors.. like Declan Power and Orla Hardiman... How many seconds of air time has each guest got, hardly worth bringing them in really is it?

I bet they get the same fee no matter how long they're on.

Good to hear Seamus Martin bring some balance to the Ukrainian discussion this morning. Too many people blindly lapping up the western narrative.

Just listening to Aíne on the news there. Seems like it's "EEEE-ba-la" again... Her pronunciation has gone through more mutations than the virus itself..

CountyHurler · 06-09-2014 10:18am

Good interview with Michael O'Leary on with Richard Collins on The Business now.. Collins asking good questions.

constitutionus · 06-09-2014 10:20am

yup.

sometimes he goes easy on the captains of industry types, but he's digging in here.

be nice to see him do this to more of the lads in that demographic.

CountyHurler · 06-09-2014 11:03am

Ah jaysus would you look who popped in to see us..

constitutionus · 06-09-2014 11:17am

Sorry i missed the intro

who the feck is this as near 20 min in im not sure. im leaning on saying helen mirren but im not sure.

CountyHurler · 06-09-2014 11:25am

It's all very middle England this morning.. Not a soft 'a' to be found..

"As I said to my daughter Mirabelle who's a dawncer" :-)

..

dvcireland · 06-09-2014 11:35am

Helen Mirren to play Marian in her next film:

"The Woman, Who Was Never There"

constitutionus · 06-09-2014 11:42am

theres something incredibly bizarre about not being sure its helen mirren getting interviewed because everyone on the show sounds like that !

lindascribbler · 06-09-2014 11:43am

Anyone know who Marian's last guest was - chef with English accent???

Marco Pierre White, he of the stock cube fame! :rolleyes:

CountyHurler · 06-09-2014 11:49am

"I know things can get heated on this show on some Sunday mornings, but it never gets quite as heated as this"..

Marion can talk with some authority on this subject, as she always listens in to The Marian Finucane Show on the RTE Player every Sunday morning.

brooke 2 · 06-09-2014 11:57am

This girl's voice is like a drill going through my head!

Turning the dial!!

Thanks. I just tuned in as he was being gloriously snooty to Marian about something:D

SaveOurLyric · 06-09-2014 12:10pm

Is Marian just not up to interviewing and athlete about what they put into their body, or is she just dodging the issue ? Performance enhancing drugs Marian. Ask the question at least.

Don't you know it's only sneaky cheating forden athletes who do drugs?:rolleyes:

CountyHurler · 06-09-2014 12:14pm

It's painful to hear Marion asking the questions... stumbling, mumbling, re-phrasing the questions...

constitutionus · 06-09-2014 12:26pm

oh yeah.

many a time the ma was reading me checkov in me bedroom.

FFS !

Let's be honest about it, in ten years time there'll be some other war/genocide somewhere else.. At what point in the last 100 years has there not been some conflict on the world.

Callan57 · 06-09-2014 12:42pm

AH here we go again ... talking up the property market, do we have to have this EVERY week on RTE?

A pullout in the Sunday Indo tomorrow, and Liz O'Kane on the show tomorrow to tell us that "NOW is the time to buy", and we're right back in 2006

bottlebrush · 06-09-2014 12:45pm

Nevin again
The twins again

SaveOurLyric · 06-09-2014 12:46pm

Nev !

Marty not giving him enough radio exposure these days. God its great to have friends in RTE programming.

I thought it funny when he mentioned not believing in 40 hour working week ........... silence there from Marian

...............................

Ah here is she taking the Michaél? ... 3 cookery items in one show!!!!!!!!!!

CountyHurler · 06-09-2014 12:47pm

I like Nevin but, to use a cooking analogy, RTE have been serving him in too large portions these days.

....

IvyTheTerrible · 06-09-2014 12:48pm

A 40 minute tajine? I thought the whole point of tajines was the slow cooking?

sudzs · 06-09-2014 12:49pm

It's Nevin so it is!

I know people say he is a really really nice fella but he really gets up my nose... so he does!!

I'd say nobody in RTE ever pays for a meal in Ballyconnell (or wherever he is)

But now he shares the gig with the twins so he does.
