This is a disgrace.........we could be debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin!

On the right (I assume)

Nice shop -

Quote of the year right there !

bottlebrush

well he is getting a good mention on national radio

Lapin

I like this tailor chap.

He's not fitting neatly into the boxes Joe was hoping he would.

Hitchens

woy is Joe not getting Louis Copeland on for his input?

Much good it will do him........who wants to look like Micky D?

HeidiHeidi

The Hands documentary (and its updated version) was brilliant. I thought the tailor and his son came across as lovely, genuine people.

But oh my goodness, WTF sort of half hour of radio have I just heard

I can't even think of a word to describe how awful/stupid/....... it was.

And that girl who was on first from the pub in Windsor was named on the news last night - that was so obviously a cold-call from the LL team for the start of the programme, she had no more interest in talking to Joe - and even had customers waiting while he talked ****e to her!

So this guy is the President of Ireland or something?

HeidiHeidi

What a daft name for a website - how are you meant to know how to spell Nansheen/Nainsín/whatever?

and why do people still insist on stumbling over www. before website names? Hasn't been necessary for years. Drives me nuts.

AK333

Boylan hung up on the polish caller - much more interesting than talking about Michael Johnson's trousers

HeidiHeidi

Is Joe going to ask yer man what his website actually is??? Or just laugh at the thought that he has one in the first place.

He's some ignorant bollix.

Cos Louis Copeland doesn't do fun sized suits,...that's woy

An Claidheamh

I turned off at start of the show because I thought he was talking to more royal stalking eejits.

Now it appears he's been talking about tailoring for 30 mins.

How does Joe get away with this!

Lapin

Turning into one of those 'This is your Life' shows.

Lots of fake laughter, a few well dones, fantastics, 'so to speaks' and another handy grand in the hand for Joe.

Odyssey 2005

This has to be the most cringe worthy and embarrassing lls ever. Duffy should be ashamed of himself.

Harry Angstrom

We don't all have Michael D.'s salary and expenses, you twit.

Hitchens

Michael Johnson is not falling into Duffy's 'oul sniggery shíte

But car sales are up.

Hitchens

would those MJ suits go with a Charvet shirt? :pac:

Dan Jaman

This is surely the nadir of public service broadcasting - at least, so far this year. We've got another 8 months to go.

Mike Guide 69

Epic face palm moment, Joe drooling over his communion suit, ffs!!!, gobsh*te!!

withless

Turned in to Old Folks Home FM now.

An Claidheamh

Something is seriously up.

"Are you a double cuff man yerself?"

What's going on RTÉ? No researcher in today, what?

Same here.

I don't think I've ever typed in www when looking for a website.

I just feck the nearest relevant words into Google and up it comes.


Joe's on about double cuffes now. Life really doesn't get more exciting than this does it lads ?

Harry Angstrom

And what was the weather like on Robin's Communion Day?

bottlebrush

i like to show an inch of cuff length
are you a double cuff man yourself

ffs

Hitchens

waiting for Joe to ask Michael did his grandfather make the suits for the wakes of the 1916 leaders?

sligojoek

Did you ever make a suit for Jim Larkin?

Mike Guide 69

Oh no, not more after the fcuking break!!!

Probably over in Windsor with the rest of RTE (though mind you some are in Rwanda and Iceland)

We're going to have a half hour of Joe single-handedly reviving the tailoring trade now, aren't we?

Think there might be a media blackout in the An Claidheamh household until the cringefest in RTÉ/UK is over.

A booby trapped suit .ffs

Let's see if he can keep it going for 23 mins.

Would be some achievement.

dvcireland

Does that include LL?

Cos this is worse than any of the cringey stuff going on over there at the moment, by quite some distance :mad:

An Claidheamh

Earlier on when the fella ran off without paying for the suit, I thought we are talking about certain members of a non-fee paying minority for a second.....

...but that would be too much excitement.
