    Marie Louise O'Dramatic is at it again.

    Describing those quaint country folk outside the pale.

    Forget her
    Did you hear the 'small farmer' turned developer on a few minutes earlier on about his repayments to the bank. You'd think he was forced to take out loans and a good farmer like him should not be subjected to such harsh repayment terms, y'know that he signed up for.
    He asking the banks to 'lighten up' and Pat agreeing that we don't want our small farmers at the side of the road..

    bizarre radio

    I'm finding it amusing but I suspect if I were a Moneygaller I'd be hooping mad.

    ive taken to calling her "her highness" in my head now as she seems to display all the world experience of an 16Th centurary parisean courtessan let out of the palace for the first time in its life.

    seriously how the hell is RTE not inundated with complaints about her supercillious manner ?

    ya get the feeling in another life she'd be an RTE "comedy" writer

    Heard a chappie - Molony - on the PK this morn....tearing the Civil Service and in particular the Dept.of Finance apart.

    Good on you pal...The Crown has posted extensively about this in the past and asked where were these gimps when the shit was hitting the fan.

    Bit frightning what this guy had to say...suffice it to say that all The Crown's fears were realised and these gimps are faceless and unnacountable.

    Let's see if Howlin and Rabbitte have the nuts to change anything.

    I'll listen back to this.. It's long been a bugbear of mine that our Department Of Finance can preside over the worst thing that can possibly happen to an economy and still all retain their jobs.. And to add insult to injury they then commission an "independent" report absolving themselves of culpability. (Though it did point out a huge dearth in relevant experience and qualifications, a symptom of the completely nonsensical promotional paths)

    And there's more from them later in the show !!!

    And we're going to find out where the band got their quirky name. :)

    I can't wait. :rolleyes:



    I'm enjoying this current piece though. AA Gill is a brilliant writer, and I used to live right beside Hyde Park.

    Hope PK doesn't rush through it to get back to the mouth organ mob who's name I've forgotten.

    I love how the consumer one was introduced: "Irish people don't know anything about consumer issues, and Tina is here to say why". Irony.

    And as it turned out, Irish people fared pretty well in the survey.

    Yeah I noticed that too. I find that Tina one really talks out of her hat anyway.

    Long, long, boring segment on English royalty now. I suppose we'll have a few weeks of this "celebrity" crap to endure.

    Miles is on so he is just pre-recording slots for his "live" history show. This will be on the History show in a few weeks. Several of the topics on the History show seemed very familiar until I realised I had heard them on the morning show a couple of months before. They just edit it to remove any reference to the morning. They even leave in the texts so they can keep earning 10c a text from people texting the "live" History show. At best the History show is a poor show mainly focused on 20th century culture repackaged as "history" (the segment on My Lagan Love and the discussion on artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in a recent show had tenious at best links to "history") but this text con job is the part I find most disturbing.

    It's really just a rough and ready attempt to challenge Talking History on Newstalk which, IMO, is miles better.

    It's lazy broadcasting and a blatant rip off asking people to text in to a recorded show .

    I even heard Dungan recording trailers for The History Show last time he was on for Kenny, he left his microphone on while he playing a record.

    Terry Prone is a right wagon. She was commenting on all the outfits at the royal wedding and she said one of Fergie's daughters looked like "a couch". Right love, get yourself dolled up and we'll dissect your appearance now shall we??

    Couldn't agree more. Is there a single current affairs programme in radio land today which is free from this embarrassing plebeian dross?

    And for a self-described "communications consultant" her recurrent "you know" each time she talked didn't inspire too much confidence in her professed professionalism.
