Love the mention of Aubrey!

Mr Duffy is famous for taking up the causes of the downtrodden on Liveline, and examples of this include Berry Fleming who lost her job in 2010, [14] and Aubrey McCarthy, who was trying desperately to get his removal business off the ground in 2012/2013 [15]

Think I might be doing some wikipedia editing tonight…...

Moriya says I, so to speak.

Love the way in Ireland old people ring each other to tell them they're on the radio!

Roger_007

Is that's Joe's misery detector going off there?

Dan Jaman

He won a Jacob's Award in 1992

Now, that's what I call taking the biscuit.

Just checked about editing on wikipedia, you have to log in and your IP address is tracked. Might have to wait until I'm on holidays…….;)

Keving Myers made a nice comment:

Journalist Kevin Myers wrote in October 2009, "Throw in some mob-oratory from the national broadcaster's disgraceful 'Liveline', and almost no state institution and no politician is safe from the vengeful, idiot wrath of Madame La Guillotine, or Les Heureuses Tricoteuses."

Best thing he's ever written IMO.

sligojoek

It doesn't say "God forbid" anywhere on my licence.

Meh.
That was five years ago. Joe now only concentrates on 'safe' or 'pet' issues

Is that stupid-thick or angry-thick?

Both. Simultaneously - at the same time.

A trombone-bollix.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but any car park I use always seems to have plenty of free disabled spaces?

ButtersSuki

I'm willing to bet my balls that Joe doesn't know what "tromboning" is, but Mooney does.;)

Google urban dictionary should any of you be puzzled.

Dan Jaman

Neat wheelchair cars those. Needs to be a relatively high roof on them though and you look like you're in the Popemobile.

sligojoek

Screw clamp sort of thing.

You'd know all about that, Joe

ButtersSuki

Joe is so good at these snappy slogans he should be a copywriter in an ad agency.

Yep, it's amazingly calming after listening to Joe simpering and giggling for half an hour - and that's before The Good Wife solving the problems of the world (anyone notice that she - and Joe - were singing the praises of the Small Claims Court, when she never even got near it, a simple threatening letter was all that was required )

Possedion

catch phrase is not for Joe... he needs to think the catch through before bumbling it out on the radio... "please erm argh stay back" catchy = not

Blocking entry is after three.

This has always puzzled me, but more in the context of clearways. There was a time that the clampers used to lift a car and dump it around the corner where it wasn't holding up the whole of rush-hour, but they don't seem to do that any more. The just clamp it, ensuring that it'll continue to cause an obstruction for even longer.

Apologies if this has no relevance whatsoever to what's being discussed on the Whineline at the moment (although that would make it oddly appropriate, I suppose!)

I tried to explain that to a clamper once, it was completely lost on him. Not my car btw!

I doubt if "The people that need educating about this" listen to Liveline

That was pretty much the exact situation I was aluding to in my last post. It serves no purpose other than to frustrate innocent parties and of course collect cash….

ButtersSuki

Sweet Jesus…….

Possibly a few laughs. I doubt.

Please tell me Brendan O'Carroll standing in for Marian Finucane is a wind up. :mad:

Apologies Heidi, I'm only getting back into the swing of things re. Lahv Lahn after a 4 month + hiatus. I'll be up to speed soon enough though!

sligojoek

Death from 100 years ago. Liveline back to normal.

A summarine.

And a plaque to be unveiled.

And I'm weaning myself off, aspiring to achieve what you seem to have done - the peace of mind that a Joe-free existence would bring. Why on earth did you go back to it :eek:
