    The same 330 ml bottle costs over a fiver in a pub, all I'm saying is that you can get a bottle of beer for well under €1 in a supermarket, validating your man's point which you queried.
    I think you are confused. We are not denying it is expensive in the pub, but we are asking where is all this cheap booze in off licenses. I used to pay 4 euros for 10 bottles of beer in a supermarket on the continent.

    If anybody is stupid enough to pay a fiver for a slug of Heineken in a pub, they deserve to be fleeced.
    I was in an off-licence yesterday. It was €12 for 8 cans of Guinness, Heineken, Budweiser etc.
    Most of those special offers are for bank holidays and only last a few days, and most of those bottles tend to be 300mls. Cheap drink in this country is a myth. It's just propagandist bullsh!t from the publicans.

    My bad, I'm not really paying full attention to neither thread nor radio as my colleagues keep wanting to me to ask questions :P. I've not seen it that cheap in off-licences, for sure, only supermarkets (and that is usually offers). My local offie normally has 5 500ml bottles for €10 (you can choose from the likes of Staropramen, Leffe etc)

    This woman does not sound ready to talk about this on Liveline.
    But it's all grand if it contributes to Joe's misery porn fetish.

    I used to love the way the News At One quickly went from news to sports then to business, building the sense of anticipation for an exciting fast moving Liveline... Sometimes Sean O'Rourke used to even say "No time for the business today", and build the excitement even more... It was like 24 sometimes :D

    Now they still have the fast build up only for Joe to come on and say "Mary, it was today, 2000 years ago that Jesus Christ qualified as a carpenter"

    "First of all, condolences"

    It's implied at this stage, Joe.

    "No-one rang the guards". Yeah because drug dealers regularly ring the cops on each other.

    There is something missing from this story.

    Joe, you could at least PRETEND you are interested in hearing the story instead of rushing the woman along.
