Tonight With Vincent Browne Thread v 4.0 (08/07/14 to date)

take everything

Not remotely credible.
Nice one.

Lapin

After Dark Thank you Harry!


I was racking my brains recently trying to think of the name of that thing. A few people sitting round a table talking about stuff into the small hours. Twas great, and if you didn't like what someone said, you had to write to Channel 4. No phoning in. The receptionist clocked off hours ago.


And this was long before those on the panel had their comments influenced by viewer's texts, tweets and emails. They actually had to rely on their own opinion when they spoke.


But that was back when Channel 4 was good. If they brought it back now they'd probably give it the celebrity strictly big fat keeping up treatment and fúck it up with gobshítes like Russell Brand being outraged about the latest outrage.





Did ye miss me?

Yeah, you were in hospital for a while last year, Vinnie, but we're not talking about the Mater Private or Blackrock.

Vincent was assaulted late last year after announcing the winner of his reporter of the year award..



^ One man was arrested..

God, I hope the yanks send that b*stard down for 20 years... I'm almost glad he decided to declare bankruptcy in the States, cos they wouldnt have had the b*lls to nor the competence to put him away here..

Little knacker could be in for a rude awakening.
US system slightly different to this place when it comes to white collar crime.

If Vinnie was stuck on a trolley in Beaumont, he might change his tune a bit.

Lapin

Fair post about the ad breaks but excellent response by Vinnie.

Harry Angstrom

I wonder what John thinks about credit union loan defaulters.......?

CountyHurler

I think John McGuirk is great... Not just cos hotmail.com doesnt like him... But if I was starting up a new country and I wanted to draw up the rules, I would invite John in as a consultant....

I bet that statement is gonna make me about as popular as that bee that knocked Lapin off the ladder, but there you go..

But as far as I know, its not a criminal case. Probably should be, but them's the rules.

He was a public patient in Vincents...I was sitting in the waiting room waiting for x-rays with him.

It would be well worth seeing that arsehole taking the perp walk.

Busted Flat.

I would have thought that low life VinB would have made some sort of apology for his attack on one of his panelist last night, then again you have to have guts to do that.

Hmmm...what other insanely smug and self-satisfied consultants could we invite?

hotmail.com

I hope they repeat some of the stand out interviews over the years. Brian Lenihan and Joan Burton come to mind.

I missed it too but I've heard enough people giving out about it to raise my curiosity. So feck it, I'm gonna watch it now and do my own giving out.

24 minutes my you-know-what Lapin............;)

120 minutes will mean about about an hour of a program....:rolleyes:

I forgot Kate FitzGerald had appeared on the show.

Imagine. People like him are still being paid for their financial expertise.

Good man Willie. Fianna Fail haven't forgotten how to play the amnesia card anyway.

He's only there because he's always willing to stand out front and take flack for his seniors. His monotone defence of the indefensible is his best quality.

As if they were hard up....



Ah, the Joan classic clip.....

VinB catching out James Reily in the days before the election was another clanger.

coolhull

It's been a long time since we've seen any heavyweights on VB

Lapin

Loved Joe Higgins' pissing himself laughing away to one side.

grey_so_what

Actually better than the real interview....

hotmail.com

The 2011 election produced personality changes and that was it.

Lapin

Everytime Eamonn Ryan has spoken tonight was a thinly veiled reminder to us all that he had an important(ish) job once and was up there with all the other movers and ****.



Although in fairness to him, as the Green Party goes, he wasn't the worst.

grey_so_what

It's like being in a pub and everyone talking Capital SH.....

I'm way to sober for this "chat"....

Roger_007

I wonder will VB try to indulge in his what-aboutery tonight in relation to the Paris shootings in the same way he did with the school massacre in Pakistan?

So invited all the neighbours around and told them to fill their boots.

Got rid of the stuff in 20 minutes !
