No, they need the money for liveline.

They could have taken the Greek option and saved people €160 a year for Sky Sports.

I'm not sure what amused me more today.

The story of the man who started smoking when he was 4 and then smoked 2 e-cigs at the same time.

Or the story of the salt-of-the-earth smelling-of-dog-poo and cat-pi1ss people who lived in the Dublin slums.

One was a story the involved XXX-mints. The other was a story that involved tena-mints. Boom boom.

By the by, ireland's worst rail disaster happened on June 12th, 1889, but there were no salt-o-de-ert Dubbalin types, it was a load of prods from Armagh (80 dead, many children) so Joe wouldn't be too interested.

"Joe, I was there that day JFK was in Ireland.. Myself and Bang Bang went up on the bus... <token reference to Clontarf and Dollymount Strand, coddle, trains, fibre gade for bonus points> and when we arrived there, Joe... Bang Bang jumped off the bus and shouted 'Bang, Bang' and the secret service guys left him so badly beaten up we had to bring him to the doll's hospital to have his arm sewn back on"

1950's deaths.............Joe recalls when hundreds, nay thousands, were killed by marauding lions on the streets of Dublin.

Joe wants to know why a plaque was never put up to commemorate the disaster, 'woooyy' a stamp was never issued on the 50th anniversary or indeed why Lyons Tea stopped sponsoring da Lahhvlahn.

It's more serious than that, it's about a Dublin man aged 95 who died in his sleep in 1901 and has yet to have a Liffey bridge or a Dublin Street named after him................................not even a Jayzuz plaque ffs :P

This could be a "Howard Beale" moment, but does it sum up the listener or the host (is Duffer finally going over the top, driven demented by the cavalcade of dolts with nothing but a phone and a grievance in their lives?)?

Well, a slight exaggeration .

Joe mentioned a lion escaped from De Azoo in the 1950's and mauled a girl. I assume she died - otherwise it wouldn't rate as suitable Lahhvlahn material.

He wants people to ring in if (a) they witnessed it. (b) bought anewspaper at the time reporting it or (c) if they're still alive.

Bonus for Joe if a relative of the victim calls in order for him to extract tears.

Then the researchers will stop being so picky and we will get "Mary from clontarf, you saw a Lion once, didn't you?"

Mary:"Yes Joe"
Joe:"Wow. Wow!"
Mary:"Can you hear me Joe?"
Joe:"Yes Mary. What year was that Mary?"
Mary:"1765 Joe"
Joe:"Wow! Wait, are you 250 years old Mary <chuckles>"
Mary:"265 Joe. I also think I am Oliver Cromwell Joe"
