It was.


He'll be missed, not least by all Sean, Esther et al I'm sure. He was quite the character.

Call me Al

He was so good humoured.

Tomás seemed like a decent bloke and didn't take himself too seriously (as some of the foodies and wine experts tend to).

His death was obviously sudden as it doesn't seem like that long ago that I heard him on movies and booze.

Sean said the other day that he had been sick and seemed to have recovered, and yes it sounded from the way he said it that it was quite sudden and a shock to them all.

Tributes paid to Tomás (Business Post).

I always loved listening to Tomás on TMS. Sad news.

Tom Dunne started today with 3 clips, a woman laughing hysterically after arriving at school and realising she had left her children at home, a Paul Reynolds news clip about 2 lads jailed for driving their boat on the Liffey under the influence he thought was hilarious and then a clip of Sasha Baron Cohen infiltrating rednecks singing a song that sounded like just an old country song.
Maybe funny on TV but maybe not Radio?

I agree. Clips on the radio where people are laughing hysterically annoy me. There was another one today, just now, where an Irish Mammy was having difficulty with Amazon Alexa and some guy was busting his hole laughing at her. Maybe if I saw the footage, I might laugh.

Regarding that woman you mentioned, at a deeper level I found it worrying. Why did she record that clip? She did something embarrassing and her first thought was to whip out her phone and record herself laughing hysterically while trying to explain it. With cameras on phones, I fear lots of people have become narcissistic and have lost a sense of shame or embarrassment.

Anyone listening to Moncrief?

Some child psychologist on.

I can tell you Mrs, 30 years ago kissing at 9 was perfectly normal and common.

Where I'm from anyway.

I don’t think I could trust something like that with my “Johnson”.

Imagine it “malfunctioned”, sucked out the middle bit, and the head, and left you having to fasten the loose skin with a jubilee clip?

You’d be stuck having to empty a weird “schlong balloon” every few hours. Would probably have to sit while doing it, otherwise it would just drench your shoes and trousers.

No, thank you.

The "Relationships" section recently was hilarious, where Sean reads a few texts and the panel discuss. Panty Bliss is one of the guests I think.

Does anyone know what time of the week that is? I want to listen back.

Thanks.


<Edit> Found it: Monday 27th July. Starts at 00:42:00. Highly recommended :-) ...

Moncrieff has Susie Dent from Countdown on today.

Makes for fascinating listening.

She has a huge knowledge of language and words. Could listen to her for hours.

Not tuned in today, but I'll definitely go looking for that later - she's brilliant!!

Kissing before your married is still a crime out there.

She was great, so intelligent...
Seemingly Sean is a bit of a Nazi !!

Very irritating Scottish woman going on at length about the new Scottish free tampon plan periods and hoping this will encourage men to discuss periods with their wifes, girlfriends, female family members and work colleagues(!) Theres a good reason for looking to get a HR complaint for asking Mary in accounts how her periods are generally and would she like to discuss them.

Is it not a bit creepy for the mother to be reading her 12 year olds texts?

This 'expert' sounds like a quack to be honest.

What was that tv show they were JUST talking back? Wanna check it out.
They are talking about Dave Chapelles new show now, for a time stamp if that helps

EDIT: Called 'We are who we are'.

Dunno, but I also missed the intro and want to know!

I hate when presenters introduce the name of a show, talk about it for 10 mins, then dont say the name again and move on.

Had to dig up this thread.

Today, Sean was interviewing this Human Rights Activist speaking up for 30 detainees, who haven't been charged with anything in Guantanamo Bay.

I learned Biden wants to close the place.

But mainly, Sean was giving the interviewee a fairly easy time: All listeners should be persuaded.

I preferred to switch off.

He got all woke and prickly over opinions that differed from his own on Fairytale of NY a week or so ago.

Got a little bothered there over texts about the new hate speech legislation.
