WORD OF THE DAY - twardrobe - not sure if I'm spelling that correctly. I have a word for you Bryan. TWAT.

Feck this I'm out.

I think the word was "Tourdrobe".

You should write a story about a cockroach that has been given his own Friday night TV show.

The constant Anti - BREXIT propaganda from RTE is bordering on ridiculous at this stage. We get it, RTE does not want BREXIT, but unfortunately the people of the UK do, get over it.

That's what I thought he meant (logically), but he pronounced it as "twardrobe" - and I'm a bloody southsider! Unless I need a hearing aid.....

Watch the Korn video though, it's very good. Lots of subtle and not so subtle musical references to other music genres and personalities, there's a very Spinal Tap feel to it.

I'm going to echo sligojoek 's comment yesterday on the livrline thread. We just had an ad break involving three adverts. The first was a tv license reminder, the next was a trailer for a program on at 6.30 on Sunday (a tv time slot that is tricky for most stations), and finally an advert for a guy who I've never heard of selling a book.

One of the arguments for Tubs huge salary is he brings in big advertising. Really? No wonder RTE is broke. I hate constant advertising when watching or listening to something but i hate it even more when the advert is for the station or channel I'm watching or listening to at that time.

Ahah! A brexiteer. 51% of Britain 3 years ago wanted Brexit. 49% don't. It is truly disingenuous to say Britain wants Brexit.

51% is certainly a convincing enough majority when the establishment wants it.

Anyone listening to Radio 1 on a regular basis knows the schedule. It never changes.
Morning Ireland
Tubbs
Sean OR
Ronan Collins
News
Liveline
Darcy
Drivetime
etc

Why do they have to keep constantly reminding us?

And why tell me about something happening on RTE one on Sunday evening on Thursday morning's radio advertising?

If the adverts your doing bring in no actual revenue, how about make tubs or liveline ad free? As in no commercial breaks.

Welsh Megaman · 26-09-2019 9:44am

“There does seem to be a lack of grown-ups in the room.”

I thought grown-ups were just ‘kids with wrinkles’, Ryan.

generalgerry · 26-09-2019 9:47am

You know even when we sent Dustin to the Eurovision, RTE at least respected the democratic vote. Their behaviour with this whole BREXIT vote has been shameful.

Some of us used to run an "Ad Watch" feature on The Live Line Thread years ago. Invariably 90% of it was ads for RTE Projects in one way or another - the orchestra(s), TV Licence, what's coming up on D'Arcy, etc. Aiken Promotions laughably used to advertise concerts a lot during Live Line - talk about NOT knowing your audience - but they seem to have stopped doing this.

generalgerry · 26-09-2019 9:49am

Or did you really enjoy it because it echoed all of your own personal opinions Ryan?

generalgerry · 26-09-2019 9:58am

ad for ELF, talk of the toy show..

*checks ******** calendar in disbelief*

A bit like here.

So you actively seek out and engage with things that you admit are poison to your soul. Seem like an odd choice.

No, I don't seek anything out. I have been here long before this turned into the mostly negative echo chamber that it is now. I do still occasionally visit but it's not like I come on here every day to post elsewhere about how rubbish it is.

Who would do that.

The UK voted for Brexit, just as well this is Ireland so.

Pretty much all of Ireland's industry groups don't want Brexit either.

The economic impact of Brexit is negative, for both the UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe.

Because there would be no point telling you on Monday morning.

Forward selling promos are an industry standard. Even a non-commercial operation like the BBC do it on every channel, multiple times, every single day.

It's the crossborder mushroom industry I feel sorry for.

But at the end of the day democracy rules in a just society.

Even it's not right for economics or the country, the people voted.
Out they go.

The top politicians accountants,actuaries and consultants will have to sort it out.

Supposedly they're the brain's inside the machine..

But on the other side you've rage against the machine....

The perfect **** storm.

It won't impact my life as I am not a big consumer, living within my means since I was 18
Have a salary of around 35k a year.
Bought my house with inheritance, top up mortgage of 160 Euros a month.
Living in a detached house in a nice estate in a village in the west coast of Ireland

And I'm not undermining people who'll struggle, it might be hard on the sanctimonious middle classes who've not cut their cloth according to their measure.

We all have the ability to adapt, but some people just never think of the rainy day, there's no point in complaining when it's staring you in the mirror....

Just have to suck it up and take stock....

^^ Great attitude in every way. Couldn't agree more, although there are genuine concerns about things like medicines (in the short term) and job losses.

But this morning, when saying goodbye to Ian McEwan, Tubridy lamented that it might take Mcewan a bit longer to get through the airport queues and that's exactly the kind of attitude that can get to Ffffff...

My attitude might not sound very empathic, but once one's an adult they have to take responsibility for their decisions and what lies ahead.

I'd hate to see anyone loose their jobs, relationships stretched and people loosing out.
But if my life went tits up due to the political landscape I can't see people propping me up, they'ed looks after themselves and me likewise.

Hopefully people will get the medicine they need and I think it's a bit like the climate debacle, a lot of scare mongering....

Apparently Alexa talks back to you.
I don't really get it.
Everytime you say Alexa the machine goes bonkers!

Wikipedia is full of lies and mistruths.
Brexit shenanigans.
