I wouldn't miss Paddy's contributions if they were dropped. He seems to thrive on the misery of others .

I reckon Paddy and Pat love having the chat in the studio. It's the modern-day equivalent of the Victorian freakshow for them. Probably makes both of them feel better about themselves.

Maybe as part of the austerity measures in RTE, they could get rid of Paddy O'Gorman and get the Shakespearean actors to play out that segment instead...

Paddy: "And what's your name, sir".
Punter: "Bob Crachit, sir"..
Paddy: "And why are you here"
Punter: " My youngest Tim, he's got some health problems, so I'm down getting the subsidy for his medication.. "
Paddy: "And you're shaking, are you cold?"
Punter: "Yeah my boss only lets me put one lump of coal on the fire"..

The Paddy O' Gorman thing has been done to death at this stage, its exactly the same stories just different people every time, he should be dropped and a new segment put in his place.

So Pat is against taking publishings on social media as fact now...? Well that will make The Frontline a lot less interesting...

I think panelist Noreen Hegarty is suffering from Terry Prone Syndrome... She was initially palatable and quite a reasonable panelist, but now has become accustomed to being handed a soap box so that she can give a sermon to the masses..

John "40 Pensions" Bruton taking a break from his caviar and champagne breakfast to tell us Ireland isn't really feeling austerity and we shouldn't be complaining. He is nothing but a bloated leech!

Bruton waffling on about having to get our wages back 2004 levels. I wonder is he doing the same?

Eddie ****ing hobbs. How this ****er gets so much airtime at the moment baffles me. Eddie and his ilk of clown "economists" should be consigned to the history bin along with the property supplements they were often preaching in.

I would really really love it if someone would actually challenge about that, and the grocerys order too. Charlatan.

I'm sick to the teeth of listening to neverending discussions on the Health Services ... all day, every day - ENOUGH :mad:

Being lectured to by a gobshyte who singlehandedly brought a Government down over children's shoes and now fancies himself as an apologist and mouthpiece for the suits in the European Union. Idiot.

Hobbs is the epitome of that Mark Twain quote about ignorance and confidence.

Very annoying listen to Bruton alright... You'd wonder how the State can still afford these "Sages In Hindsight" telling us all what we did wrong.

I think the most dangerous things about economic collapse is that nobody would could have actually prevented the thing has suffered personally because of their actions... Bankers all profited from dodgy deals and continue to do so, Not one civil servant stood down from the dept of Finance for presiding over the worst economic collapse in history, Politicians all now on huge pensions with time to study/lecture/write memoirs... Seems like there is nothing to discourage any of these groups from carrying out the same irresponsible, self serving actions in the future.

That is the really sad part of it ... and you can bet they will do it again

What the f*ck ???

She is complaining that she is making €400 a week CLEAN ? for doing NOTHING ??? I'm sure her rent is paid for her aswell ....

This attitude in Ireland needs to change , this sense of society owes them a living for doing NOTHING.

Another one "only" gets €280 a week - complaining that she can't afford things ... so what does she do ?? gets pregnant again !! brilliant .

Most responsible people don't have kids if they can't afford them.

Just listened back to this after reading your post... (just to annoy myself )... I think there are two very ironic things about what that woman says:

"we shouldnt pay back banks or anyone else on their loss cos they're not there to bail us out when we need them"....

i) She is a net beneficiary from the State... She DIDNT pay anything towards the bank losses, she got the same benefits the whole time the economy was nose diving..
ii) She has a problem with the banks be bailed out by the taxpayer, but has no problem taking her own monthly bailout from the taxpayer..

I think the saddest point was that woman Fiona that texted in saying that she would have been better off getting knocked up, rather than starting her own business (which she said would probably close next year).... The sad thing is that she is right..

Nobody else listening to the whinging??

Me. I have sympathy for carers to be fair.

But the self declared white middle class man on before her was an idiot.

60 percent of government spending is on social welfare,don't kid yourself of this.

Listening to Michael Noonan wailing 'Lower! ... Lower!' into the microphone like the possessed child in the Exorcist was a distressing way to start the morning.

Because there are no jobs. And this budget isn't going to fix that.

Howlin reckons prices have come down. Has he tried paying gas, electrcity and insurance bills recently? Clearly shows that he's so cosseted by his obscene salary and expenses that he hasn't a clue what's going on in the real world.

There's actually lots of jobs in certain areas, particularly IT, that can't be filled from Ireland. Granted, a lot of them require people with a lot of experience and can be quite specialist, but a one year course could get people in at the bottom rung and go from there.
