“Consider myself suitably chastised”

What a witty riposte from the 1940s.

All things that make up this gangly fvcker's day while he mindlessly trills about cheering us all up.

It seems to have become a trend to relate anecdotes here, so I'll do likewise. And maybe the crowd in RTE will harvest this, and put it to a committee or something. (Some hope).

I spent a weekend, some years ago at what I can only describe as a living wake, with an aunt of mine, a dear friend. Terminal lung cancer. Certainly not the first, or alone in that. We soldiered together for many years. The conversation ebbed and flowed as it does-and the telly was on.
On Friday night she said turn on the late late. I cringed. Ten minutes in. Cancer awareness. Pretty sure she knew what cancer was, as did a hundred who knew her.

And a hundred thousand others.

-We'll throw on Graham, Marie.

-Aye.

(This was Newry so she had RTE & BBC, unparalleled luxury!)

Anyway, the following night (Saturday). RTE on again for the news, and left on afterward for the Saturday Night Show this fifty five year old woman rasping in the chair-on comes Beefy (it was pre D'Arcy,-Brendan O'Connor).

First guest after his usual monologue. Terminal cancer.

What is going on with the national broadcaster?

Sounds like Ryan’s having the hour off (I was going to say “day” but of course, that only applies to ordinary folk). I think I just caught a promo that Oliver Callan is taking today’s show

Oliver says Ryan will be back again tomorrow to continue the "confectionary debate".

That made me giggle

The show is only one hour of 24 in the day. Is his day really that full of Toy Show stuff that he can't put in one hour in the morning. The indulgence of this man knows no bounds.

Don't forget RTE's amazing line of comedy such as:

Mrs Browinz Boyiz
Upwardly Mobile
The Cassidys
Some Amy Huberman shoyte
Some Stephanie Preissner shoyte
Some Jason Byrne shoyte
Some Ed Byrne shoyte
Some Maeve Higgins shoyte
Soem Alison Spittle shoyte
Killinaskully
Bridget & Eamonn
Damo & Ivor
RTE Destroys Comic Relief (apart from Rats from the Flats)

I could go on............



Even when they occasionally get it right - like once a decade - they then f*ck it up by basically censoring it (The Savage Eye) or there's just 1 season (Paths To Freedom). irish Pictorial Weekly had its moments too.

One of my sisters contends however that the bst comedy on RTE is "Fair City". She has a pint, as it's impossible to watch it without laughing.

When Fair City first started out I generously gave of my opinion on the quality, or lack thereof of its screenwriting, at break time in the workplace. I was later taken aside to be told one of my colleagues was the main screenwriter.

Covid will not like that.

Deliciously written.

"A deliciously written, beautiful, gorgeous book"

Bellbottoms

If you describe every book as "beautiful and rare"; then none of them can be "beautiful and rare".

"children like me, over 3"

Trump x book = Tubridy²

3 over-emphaisesed "that"s and an over-empahsised "it" already.

Albert Nobbs is the film you're thinking of Tubs. Good to see you pay attention to your guests.

That glen close story just rambled off into gibberish mis sentence and then changed topic. Mentioned a 'gift' and then just changed topic.
