Derek Mooney Show *MOD WARNING IN 1st POST*

SEPT 23 1989

It would be more fun for everybody if you stayed there

Sad to hear that hotel repo. story. Sign of the times I know but they seemed to have put their lives into the place.

On the programme, it beats me why so many listener responses were of the "we bailed the banks out", "this country sucks" variety considering that Bank of Scotland re-possessed the premises and ordered its sale, with Allsop's - another British firm - conducting the auction.

We bailed out enough of our "own" banks, I don't recall BOS doing much else except for hauling their asses out of here when the Tiger keeled over.


edit: just switched back when I read Tubbs was on. the lovefest must be gawk-inducing....."RTE - vice is nice, but incest is best"

JonathanAnon

Oh just fupp off Tubridy... there's a reason why I dont turn on the radio at 9am.... Well two reasons, but John Murray isnt annoying me in the afternoon NOW..

Tubridy is great for supporting the Irish.. He stays in Irish hotels, buys Irish food, and takes 1 million euros a year from the Irish taxpayer for two crap shows...

STAY OVER THERE TUBRIDY..

He just mentioned he is re-watching The West Wing in his spare time :rolleyes:

Mooney - "he's taking the Queens' Shilling"

He's taking a nice fat slice of the Republics' dwindling pot as well for what little he does.

i just couldnt feel sorry for the hotel couple and indeed felt incredibly manipulated by the show.

they fupped up.

it happens when your shyte at business.

the protestations of not being high fliers was the worst though.

you own a hotel !

its not exactly average is it , cant help thinking high flying in their book is something to do with seanie fitz or fingers.

lots of good business's went down the drain over the boom thanks to people arseing around with em and taking their eye off the core business. i get the feeling this was just another one of them.

i mean the fecking ratty (pub in rathmines, called the "stout bar" in the auction) was a part of that latest auction along with its liscence and a three story over basement gaff .

how the fup do you run a pub into the ground in rathmines ?

yet those gobshytes managed that too.

with a bit of luck the new owners of BOTH premises will run em better. i dont wish hardship on the couple they but need to take responsibilty for their own actions instead of giving out about people at auctions.

jimmyw

But there were no negative comments on the show, dont ya know:p.Well derek probably didnt read out any of them except the one from Louise.

The reason he was on was to see if anyone could give him a job:eek:.

Well hello:( they are not the first business to go under, what makes these people different from others that have gone under?.Why couldn't the show bring on all the others too? Or what about all the other 400k people are also looking for a job?

I dont wish any badness for them and I hope something will come up, but yous are not unique.

As you were at the auction can you enlighten us as to who they gave out about at it?

Brek on bedwetting.

Mooney asks her if she ever did........class Derek.

Maybe next time the Grimes Twins are featured on the MS you might tell us about the state of YOUR sheets the following morning.

Harry Angstrom

The word is "self-deprecating" Derek :rolleyes:

JonathanAnon

Dear god are you listening to this sh1te... RTE are the best... Tubridy is the best...

Harry Angstrom

Derek doesn't like knockers.......

I bet the person who sent that message is called Mrs Tubridy.

JonathanAnon

Derek driving his own agenda again... And a populist politician who agrees with him... Is this supposed to be objective, balanced broadcasting... I detected a small bit of fear in Derek's voice when Adams first come on..

JonathanAnon

The Shinners playing puc fada?? Who were they hitting and how far they puc him?

europa11

Brek getting a bit carried away too i notice.

Someone should tell her that any shenanigans regarding civil partnerships - gay or otherwise - happening in the vicinity of Befast City Hall have little impact on "this State" (I note she was careful to use Shinnerspeak ) one way or the other.

europa11

Bet he won't ask Gerry if he wet the bed when he was sleeping around in a different home every night.

New version of 'on the runs' maybe

SEPT 23 1989

Tell us about Jean,Gerry

Mooney is after a niche market these days... Gay republicans who liked JEdward..

Telling us now of anniversaries of fallen 'comrades', Gerry might need to be reminded that come December of this year it will be 40 years since Jean McConville was murdered.

Maybe he might organise a "white line protest" to remind us her killer has yet to face justice.

JonathanAnon

"we'll send you a Mooney jacket"..

has he not enough targets on his back?

europa11

Stop slobbering Brek, there's dribble dripping from my radio.

SEPT 23 1989

I love the anti-gay wind up texts:)

JonathanAnon

"I never said what way I stand on gay marriage"...

Dear god, first we have Gerry Adams who wasnt in Sinn Fein, and now we have Derek Mooney who doesnt know where he stands on gay marriage? ... Denial Wednesday, today on Mooney.

45+ minutes of national radio airtime spent driving the presenters' own agenda(s).

Joe Duffy must be raging with jealousy......what am I saying, Kim Jong Un must be wondering why he can't get as much time to push his ideology on RTNK.

Cardinal Richelieu

Missed the early part of the show, did he ask Gerry about his bed wetting experiences?

JonathanAnon

It's pretty cynical of Gerry Adams all the same, not that you would expect much better from Sinn Féin... Last week Enda Kenny caused controversy by sitting on the fence with regard to the issue of gay marriage, and completely coincidentally this week Gerry Adams appears on RTE's Gay Radio magazine telling the nation that he is pro gay marriage....

And I dont think Derek even realises he's been used as a pawn, I think he just happy enough to get somebody high profile to drive his agenda..

jimmyw

Was that you Jon who sent in the text saying about the show being a Gay agenda?:D

Just listening to the podcast with Gerry Adams and when Bren was speaking, Gerry just seemed to ignore what she said and addressed Derek afterwards:D.

Bren doesnt know much about hurling either after giving the answer to the question about DJ Carey, she said they would know that in Waterford?

artful_codger

lol, a discussion about Shawshank Redemption and Mooney starts on about the movie Philadelphia instead. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

europa11

Wtf is Brek's purpose on this car-crash show? Official Village Idiot?

Mooney is plugging his "Mooneytunes" concert, Mr. Know-it-all Richard is playing an aria that was used in "The Shawshank Redemption", more specifically the part of the movie where 'Andy' gets hold of the prison P.A. mike and plays an opera piece which transfixes the inmates and guards in the yard...Mooney tries some smart-ass remark that goes flat and then Brek....She has to fill the silence by opening her trap to inform the nation that "Tim Robinson was fab'lus in dash fillum", quickly corrected by the Brains Trust she then flustered about looking for an exit saying "I meant the Irish fella in that picture... Morgan Freeman"

Not for the first time, jesus wept!

MJ23

How much longer will RTE let this farce go on for? It's an absolutely brutal show, but i still can't turn it off. It's an hour and a half of pure cringe moments.

JonathanAnon

I wonder how many people texted in to say that RTE should implement the same wage equalization program that that English business did. Given he's on over 200k, I'd say that there's no doubt that Mooney would be a net contributor to the scheme.

There is a line in the film where Andy asks Red how he got his name, Red, played by Freeman says "maybe its because I'm Irish".

Think she deserves the benefit of the doubt just this once;)

It is an interesting concept with companies doing this sort of initiative.There is always greedy people though who refuse to play ball. Politicians are a prime example re in the public eye.

I think it is a very good experiment and should be tried in more companies (that are left ).

Mooney beating his drum again today.. It's getting ridiculous that they try to present this show as not having any agenda.

When a topic starts with Elton John its going one way really.

JonathanAnon

Well this chap has certainly given me enough anecdotal evidence to prove to me that it should be written into law..

artful_codger

haha, angry Swallow texts.

constitutionus

Bang on. Particularly as the blue rinse brigade were most likely still listening in after Liveline...

JonathanAnon

Another Mooney rant today. "I take everybody's opinions on board, but I'm still right".

telekon

Haha, glad I turned over. Mooney on his soapbox again, whingey moaning whiner.

artful_codger

He's always slapping down his listeners when they complain about g@y topics. Does he have any idea of the age group of his average listener?

it's like scolding your grandad for not liking The Prodigy.

SEPT 23 1989

more anti gay wind up texts:)

Derek is getting very touchy! :pac: At least he is reading out some of the critical texts
