Tiredness in the head. Is that a medical term?

Its a common symptom witnessed every weekday for over an hour from 1.45.

ButtersSuki

Wake me up when this guy is off the air.

I mean Joe.

syklops

"Herbal protocol"

Is that what I think it is?

If someone calls in with Lyme disease and cancer and is threatening to commit suicide, Joe will wet himself with the excitement!

Lahv Lhyme's Disease: a disease common in Ireland caused by overexposure to death, suicide and every type of misery discussed daily on Lahv Lahn. Doctors are baffled as they explain than sufferers should know better. Also linked to excessive coddle consumption.

Symptoms: clenching of teeth, extreme frustration, banging of heads on tables/walls, incredible urge to throw radios out of windows between the hours of 1:45-3:00pm Monday-Friday, headaches due to grunting noises and indecipherable Dubalinese accents, etc.

Treatment: turning off the radio

To help you become more "Lhyme Literate" as Joe would say. Bet he's congratulating himself on that one like he's just cured cancer.

iamnotme

Just Jager. well known cure for Lymes Disease. I'm drinking the rubbish right now. Always help listening to Joe. On about tax now?

Esp. if they produce a recording of Jim Larkin's voice......

"A lot of cash flying around".


Was he doing a job in Joe's living room ?

coolhull

That last conversation was hard to get through.
"basically, I suppose, basically"

syklops

Joe has people who deal with that sort of thing for him.

FFS:mad:

What is it with people and their compulsion to spill every gory detail about their headaches, stomachaches, palsies, drink problems (reading between the lines), and for all I know bowel movements on public radio. WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!! Well I don't anyway.

Tuned in in the car on the way home, and 5 minutes of Roy Kean there whining on was enough.

AAAAAAAAAARGH!

ButtersSuki

What rate of tax do you pay on your "fees" Duffy? Why not go PAYE Joe and pay 55%+ if it concerns you that much?

Better chance of Jim Larkin's voice recording containing the cure to Lhymes Dizzease.

Lapin

No need to relax our planning regulations here.


We can't find them.

JonathanAnon

Sarcastic little biatch isnt he.. What about the regulation of RTE.. How many apologies has the continuity announcer read out on Joe's behalf this year already...

HeidiHeidi

Joe getting bored now with all this sensible talk.

lazygal

Joe's only dying for a hard luck story from this guy.

lawyers banging on the studio window

So; the construction industry is dead on its feet, and this clown wants extra regulations brought in?
That will stimulate things, not.

Meathlass

Joe thinks it's grand to employ people cash-in-hand and defraud the rest of us

He just said its not dead on its feet, and that things are picking up in Dublin. Maybe he's busy because he's not a cowboy. I've had experience of tradespeople lately and they still seem to think and act as if there's no downturn at all, both in terms of prices and attitude.

And if he also has a Liverpool/America/Dublin twang he'll short-circuit the nipple clamps.

"Here are some important number 90,054.. the amount of money Joe Duffy got for a few hours radio in the last three months"

SEPT 23 1989

Did Joe pay cash when he had the moate widened ?

turtleshead

syklops

You don't say. We've been drinking for hundreds of years.

syklops

JonathanAnon

Cant be UCD he's talking about cos being a taxi driver he surely would have known the name of the place..

Dublin is not the rest of the country, though.
It's fairly dead further out, even allowing for the foreign workforce leaving, there's not much to go around. Things might be better in some areas, here and there, but generally it seems to be still fairly crap. Many good tradesmen are just scratching a living, and plenty of them are not cowboys.
