That was literally just an hour and a half of people whinging about various unrelated things on the radio.

It may have been the laziest edition of Liveline I've ever experienced.

Exactly. You and I paying a Carbon tax, separating our recycling, etc might as well be weeing in the wind! Between India and China they are going to kill us all with the smog so we might as well save our tax, and spend it on a Ce la vie party!

Per capita emissions in Ireland are still way ahead of India or China. And China are moving away from coal power because their cities are destroyed with smog.

Very wasteful, just leave them in the compost bin for a year and the problem solves itself, so to speak.

Is this really a thing?

Are we going to have some gobshíte on arguing over whether he was born in Donegal, Cork or somewhere else?

Joe joves the kind of shíte that few others actually give a toss about.

Dan Jaman

What on earth is this nonsense about renaming Cork airport?
Much more of this and we'll have Bono looking for it too.

For having encountered a charlatan, yes.

Lapin

Anyone paying money to a faith healer is a gullible fool who deserves to be fleeced.

She was obviously ripped off......:eek:.......but what did she expect?

Dan Jaman

Sure, I took my donkey to a healer.
Before I knew it, he was leaping up and down the road, causing mayhem.
Must remember not to stick ginger up a donkey's hole in future.

JM Skipton

Has there ever been any documented hard proof or evidence of any faith healer actually healing anybody?

Roger_007

Why don't people sue these ba$tards.......that would put a stop to their gallop!

Dan Jaman

Oh, I'm sure I heard the clamps drawer being stealthily opened...

I'm sure facing something like that you'd try anything, there was nothing to lose at that stage (bar money)

mickydoomsux

Any grown adult living in the year 2014 believing in these magic healing people is a buffoon who deserves to be ripped off.

That's a bit harsh, people can believe in Jesus, Mohammed and the giant spaghetti monster, if it gives them solace or peace what harm.

No harm in believing in something as long as that belief is not confused with fact

No. People believing in idiocy deserve to be ridiculed and ripped off.

Roger_007

Great get-out clause.....".It doesn't work for everyone..". The truth is it doesn't work for ANYONE except the so called faith healer who makes a shed load of money out of vulnerable people.!

Harry Angstrom

Lapin

Missed the start of of this fella's call.

Is he the butcher in Gort?

I've heard about him. In fairness I think he only charges people a tenner regardless of what their problem is or who they are.

sudzs

Busted Flat.

"Hello? Look, I have a terrible condition, the economy is going down the crapper, could you fix that?"

"Sure, that'll be a tenner."

Harry Angstrom

I wonder if he pays tax on that €35 a pop?
