I remember years ago people ringing up complaining about Pavorotti.

Saying he didn't engage with the crowd i.e. mention he was in Ireland or something.

French-america = México??

Is she sure she it wasnt a Jimmy Savile concert she went to .. ?

Lapin

I was at that Leonard Cohen gig. It was the best gig I was at since the time he played in Kilmainham. Magical nights.

Why does this one keep going to the old fogeys if they have all been brutal, why keep paying over the odds.

I saw Chuck Berry when he was pushing 70 - cracking gig.

CountyHurler

I went to The Three Degrees and they were rubbish.. Wanting to know what went wrong, I confonted the lead singer after the concert and gave him the third degree.. :pac:

Lapin

For me.

Best - Leonard Cohen in the Point
Worst - Bob Dylan in Pearse Stadium.

Oh it was Christy Moore he was at, I was beginning to think he was at Julio Eglesias too, but had a different experience..

pc7

I was surprised that the Garth Brooks tickets were only €65, I thought that was decent enough for such a big name for a come back gig. Looking at the amount that sold he could have charged more. but paying 92 euro for Julio!

BPKS

What about Kasabian Joe. Playing Cork, Limerick and Galway this week for €40.

ButtersSuki

Caller: I was at Stevie Wonder a few years ago in the O2 Joe. I was seated behind a pillar and couldn't see a thing Joe. I didn't see him once throughout the whole concert Joe.
Joe: And could Stevie see you caller?

In my day the Three Degrees were all women, now I now what went wrong..

pc7

For me
Best - George Michael first comeback tour (in the point) great night
Worst - Rod Stuart, he didn't speak for the first hour (reckon he was hungover to death!), finally warmed up or had a drink at the interval and got a bit better.

No Neil Diamond?

I'd never go to a Christy Moore... For a man who goes on about civil rights and inequality, he then deprives his audience of a pint just because he doesnt drink...

Dont remind me of that ad, Mary Byrne was supporting we were tortured for weeks on Live Lahhhnnnnn with that ad!

Bowl test kit.

They should hand them out at the next Funny Friday.

But we are constantly told that generation is freezing and cant' heat their homes, now we know why. They'd be better off burning the 180 euro in their little fires than spending it on Julio.

Ha ha......BRILLIANT!!!!

joe6pack

Does Joe not realize it is perfectly acceptable to say "compare" without immediately following it with "contrast"

pc7

I missed the ippi show, did Joe just say the public health service covers ippi, so why doesn't the guy just get it publicly if his health insurance doesn't cover it or am I missing facts?

CountyHurler

I make a policy of not going to see anything in the theater that has "underpants" in the title...

Lapin

Went to see the fabulous animals at the Natural History Museum Joe.

They were all dead Joe.

I want my money back Joe.





It's free in caller.

A mate of mine went to see Ray Charles near the end of his career. Poor old Ray wasn't up to it and constantly fecked off backstage to recuperate letting the band do most of the work. My mate had enough and headed for the exit. "Wait! Wait!" Said his missus "It's so rude, what if he sees us?"

Cos he owns the 2 Supervalus?

SEPT 23 1989

Supervalu used to be dumps of shops bottom of the barrel

constitutionus

WTF is all this about their families ?

baldbear

Aldi buy alot of Irish produce. But 3 in the one town makes Lidl sense.

AK333

Wonder is this guy working for Super Valu? Aldi and Lidl are providing a need for lots of families in Ireland - he should be ringing the Planning Department of Wexford County Council not Joe. Joe has researcher busily looking up what Aldi and Lidl are

pc7

This guy is quite creepy, he is coming across as so arrogant. Aldi wouldn't have 3 stores if it wasn't cost effective.

An Claidheamh

This guy complaining about a rival.

Why is he allowed on air?

Or Mooney "hilariously" reversing the running order and saying it was Mary Byrne headlining and supported by Neil Diamond.

constitutionus

ah here he hasnt even gone in himself !

FFS .

thats worth more than all your "demographic research" !

They just take jobs from indigenous Irish companies... There's no more people gonna be buying more shopping... Same as Naas, brand new spanking Tesco opens... SuperQuinn, been there for years, closes...

Duffy:Aldi provides jobs

Caller:Do they?
