The Pat Kenny Show

Masters of not answering a question...Fr whatshisname.

Worst interview ever chopped off at the legs.

Harry Angstrom

Who would've thought that a person's choice of lager brand could determine if he was a republican or a loyalist?

The North truly is a fcuked up place.

John Drennon is studio.... Apparently he brings his own drummer now to signify each joke..

I'd like to see him ride a bike through the streets of a major city instead of him sitting on his fat arse in a car. The simile smartass might change his tune a bit.

That was satisfying to hear McWilliams calling out Drennan et al. as neanderthals in their anti-cycling guff. It's a useful guide on whose opinions to disregard in general when they talk about cyclists paying road tax & 'terrifying' pedestrians, such an unprogressive Daily Mail type stance, a la Jonathan Healy

**Some people in Ireland have a drinking problem shocker**
Groundbreaking stuff from PK on his return.

Harry Angstrom

Nobody takes them seriously when these people come on TV and radio telling us that having 3 pints of beer is "binge drinking". Get up the fcuken yard.

Wasn't really listening but I think the point they were making was that in other countries three pints would be considered a lot,whereas here it's just a starter.

And yet Irish people get outraged when they are portrayed as heavy drinkers by people from other countries. Cant have it all ways now.

Harry Angstrom

Pat knows a couple who book into a hotel room for two weeks and watch nothing but Wimbledon. How decadently middle class.

I think you might need to switch on your sarcasm detector

Harry Angstrom

Ah here's Healy now with his continued crusade against "cheap" alcohol from off-licences. If I didnt know better, I could swear the puritanical prig owns a few pubs.

Heard this topic being discussed on another show and apparently 3 or more pints of lager 3 times a month is binge drinking!!

You can drink the same amount over the same period and spread it out and it's fine.It's the rapid intake that's unhealthy apparently,"the experts"have calculated that more than six units or three pints is the point where it is damaging and a binge.

Yakuza

Agreed, I heard that twaddle being spouted on PK and Matt Cooper yesterday. The research made no reference to a unit of time other than a non-specific unit of "session". Three pints in an hour could be viewed as a binge, three pints over 3-4 hours most certainly isn't.

Islamists shouting about their human rights lol...

Harry Angstrom

Pat doesn't like the idea of a wealth tax. I wonder why?

Yakuza

This segment is tough listening. That poor woman must be heartbroken, even 15 years after her son's murder. I can't imagine what it must be like to hold your son as he bleeds out. Truly the stuff of a parent's nightmare.

Pat lost he's pension on property investments in the last Fianna fail bubble. I think hes was getting advice from sean dunne.Dont think it'll worry him too much!

Perhaps he doesn't like competition for ownership of his neighbors' land. I suspect his neighborhood nickname is "The Wealth Tax".

you know pats financial affairs are an unending source of amazement to me.

what the hell was he thinking?

the bloke was earning a million quid a year at RTE for at least a decade or so and did very well before that too back in the "today tonight " days.

maybe hes re enacting scenes from "spartacus" on a nightly basis out in dalkey but he doesnt seem to have that austentacous a lifestyle so i really cant see the need for those investments.

if the bloke just saved the way the financial advisors normally suggest (a third of your income when ya can) then after all this time he'd be sitting on a couple of million quid now in a bog standard bank accournt that he could happily draw down as his own pension and live like a lord.

i mean jesus if any of us had a million quid in the bank we could pay ourselves 26 grand a year , every year, for the next 38 years !

mike65

Kenny and his indulgence of buskers is just too much!

Harry Angstrom

Outside broadcasts are just plain boooring. Is it just me or has Healy's voice changed in the last few weeks? Must be hay fever season.

I think it would be fair to say that Pat was definitely one of those who 'lost the run of
themselves' during the heady days of the Celtic Tiger. The new 'humbled' Pat comes
across as a much nicer person!

Yakuza

Another grief-stricken parent on the air, I hope this isn't a trend and that PK isn't going down the Duffy route of putting someone on the air who shouldn't be.

And on a different matter - what's he like with his "poyims"? Poh-em, thanks!

I find it remarkable that Joe O' Reilly is already being considered for release.

Our justice system is bizarre.
