Unreal.

So Arnotts pay for Tubs Band Aid and Paul McCartney vinyl "freebies".

Arnotts also gave a set of Senneiser Headphones to one of Tubridy's mates who runs a record store last week.

Such a coincidence.

X and Y are the names of the dogs of which president elect.

There can't be that many.

Can't go one day without a Joe Biden mention.

I laughed at the totally unnecessary mention of Broda and Sioda (MDH's dogs) in the question.

Turned it off with 15 minutes to go today, did he get the band aid single?! Unreal.
Brazen touting for freebies on national airwaves...does Dee Forbes not see anything wrong with this?
The lad is on nearly half an million a year and is using a public broadcasting service to appeal for free gifts. Unbelievable.

A freebie today was rewarded with a 100eur Arnotts card. Will be interesting to see if this is a new development or a once off. Did Arnotts provide a few vouchers to be given away on air as a bit of promotion for Christmas?

If I was them I'd prefer the voucher be given to one of the regular misery slot interviewees rather than used to further encourage the converter belt of solicited and unsolicited free gifts in to rte.

He gave away am Arnotts voucher last week and the way he went on about it you'd swear it had come out of his own ridiculous salary.

Joseph Duffy is another one who is great at taking credit for other people's and/or businesses' generosity so to speak.

The words gorgeous and beautiful should only be used when describing a person or things like food etc..not a bloody TV show about "country" pop/middle of the road/karaoke music.

And the word "delicious" should only be used to describe a fire.

English Toff accent overload today for some reason, along with lots of exaggerated fake laughing - even more so than usual.

FFS Glen Campbell had to read from an autocue in the latter years of his life due to dementia....he didn't remember all the lyrics to his songs. Absolute waffle.
