    Breaking Bad is on Tg4. So it's not French nudity, but it's the next best sliced bread hockey stick.

    Bingo.

    Yer wan comparing politics to a plumber or carpenter wanting to hand on their skills to their kids and, have them carry on the family business was laughable.

    Guess what missus....if an unqualified plumber makes a mess of things in my house, I just call another one. The fate of country is not going down the effing toilet just, because some some unqualified wanker has delusions of grandeur, because his Da is a TD. Makes my blood boil. :mad:


    Stock answer to a familiar question.

    Totally unrelated to you. :-D

    That discussion on female TDs needed a broader panel ... some retired TDs like Olwyn Enright or Gemma Hussey (anyone except Mary O'Rourke) could have spoken more frankly than those who will be facing re-election soon. Olivia O'Leary or some other journalists might have been good. Even a man for balance.

    The intro was terrible ... "We had some female TDs on a while back, and here are some more". It's a worthy topic for discussion but he made it sound like they were only on the show because they had to get their chance too.

    Not a lot. Just a posthumous interview with the late Egyptian actor Omar Sharif - in deceptively fine fettle for a man who 'assumed room temperature' several years ago.

    Agreed.
    I didn't think any of them came across particularly well, but I was not giving it full attention, to be honest. I'd have preferred a balance, including male politicians, and as you have suggested, some journalists or 'outsiders' of some sort.

    (Or Twink...ah no, it's just we haven't mentioned her in a while):p

    You can imagne eejit Enda thinking "Ah shure we'll let his daughter run in the by-election. She'll get the sympathy vote. Job done."

    And she could have a similar illness to her father, making her unsuitable to high office

    Was he alive at the start of the interview or did he die during Tubridy's questions?

    I missed the late late last night because I fell asleep early.

    I was told of Derek Ryan and Sharon Shannon. There's a video on youtube from their late late show performance and just watched it there. They were brillant. I love it very much.

    Just watched this show earlier. Omar Sharif, good guest if Tubridy let him talk more.

    Dara O'Brian? Again .... !!!!

    Derek Ryan and Sharon Shannon? Ultimately soulless imo. Just compare this to the music put out by Shannon in the company of her contemporary Dolores Keane, whose documentary tonight showed what REAL Irish folk is. Hold onto your hat is another Galway girl soundalike akin to Day of my return. Only this song makes Day of my return look like a masterpiece. Poorly written and repetitive in the extreme. Sharon's playing is the only saving grace but the singer is poor and soulless. Sharon is embarrassing herself by using her talents on this mediocricy and backing a very mediocre even poor vocalist ... Where are they getting all these so-called stars from? Derek Ryan seems to be the new Nathan Carter who was the new Mike Denver.

    And if that wasn't bad enough, we had to endure yet more bloomin' politicians. A whole load of them to keep us entertained with their false promises. All parties seemed to have had their say. Pity we didn't have Gerry Adams in the mix as well!
