Maybe we want to get some value for our €160 a year. It might be a moan but it's better than nothing.

Missed a lot of things tonight, Skid.

Have a stupid cough/cold nonsense, so no beer on Friday, for one. Not cool at all, at all.

grey_so_what

He barges into a 75 year old woman's life and thinks everything is going to be ok.

He's not very subtle is he?

Clonmel isn't far from me, I'm gonna become Sherlock and investigate this

Say Your Number

The Orchestra worked well with those songs tonight, it'd be good if they used them that way once every while.

dublinman1990

Two of the songs I had seen tonight from 10:30 onwards from Ralph McTell and Walking on Cars with the RTE OC were excellent.

Although the rest of the show I had seen from that same time has been utter ****e.

Oh....and fair play to the Irish euromillions winner who won €66m tonight. I hope the win brings you great health and happiness for years to come.

I was only joking earlier when I said I was going to investigate

Well, at least no animals were tortured this week

amdublin

Howdy folks I had no internet last night and could also only flick in and out of the show


I thought Kym Marsh was very eloquent and a lovely girl.


I wish they had spoken to Triona Priestley's parents (the young lady who died from CF), they were in the audience and looked pretty devastated but also looked like they wanted to speak.


What was the sensitive subject Pat Henry was talking about? I missed that.

This story, although apparently he went public and revealed the details before he told some of his family.

The Talking Bread

By the look of it either Bernard o she's or Jennifer Maguire work or have connections in Joe.ie. the overreactionary Brown nosing of their "comedy" is puke inducing! Their sketch comprised of a catalogue of outdated unoriginal and frankly stolen jokes.........

Calling a late late show host Gaybo.....check
Smoking indoors joke......check
Sucky sweet joke ......check
Gay marriage joke.....check
Outdated overbearing husband.....check
Divorce joke......check

Jennifer Maguire.....you aren't funny........CHECK.

I like the Brigid and Dermot sketches Not sure about it as a full sit com but willing to give it a shot

I agree Amdublin, I think they can be very funny. I hope though that the full sitcom doesn't ruin it. I think it might be a 5-10mins = funny but greater than that could be a bit much. So I'm looking forward to tuning in on Monday night.
But I just watched the sketch in the lls show and it wasn't that funny sadly.

any idea of the line up for this week yet?

Very early to know but I'd guess Dermot Bannon will be on or else he will go on with D'Arcy as Room To Improve is back Sunday.

Ol' Donie

Don't think we're seen anyone from The Voice yet, they must be due loads and loads of couch time.

He was a fitness coach on TV in the 90's.

His new family or old if you like, only met met him a while ago and now he wants to tell all a la Alan Stanford.

Alan Stanford comes across as a much nicer and more empathic person. Have heard Henry
a few times - he strikes me as a very arrogant,
self-centred person. From what I understand,
he basically bullied his mother into meeting him.
I felt very sorry for the woman when I heard him
relate his story. Made me quite angry listening
to it.

Wonder how the garda who helped him feels about being named! What he did was not entirely
ethical, IMO.

It's all about him and what he wants. Not one
thought given to his mother and why she might
have had to give him up. Anyone would react
badly to the aggression he displayed. What
a thoroughly repulsive individual Pat Henry is!!

i would know Alan through friends and work and have to disagree with you on that.

Probably some retired rugby head too.

Hiya brooke 2, Happy New Year to you!

Yes, I agree with you.

You can't just insist on getting information from an elderly lady on demand. I can understand his anger/frustration but you have to go very easy on turning up an unsuspecting elderly lady's front door. He didn't sound like a person who did a "softly softly" approach....I didn't like his attitude at all....Only the lady herself knew the circumstances of his adoption.....He was very angry obviously but I felt he had no right to talk about his disrespect at the epitaph she received from her family at her funeral...... He didn't know her or the pain she may have had giving him up.

Perhaps he was just putting on an act in the programme? I do not
know the man.

He did not display any anger towards his mother - as Henry does.
Quite the opposite - he expressed an understanding of the reason why
his mother might have offered him up for adoption. The two stories had
a lot of similarities, including the fact that both men appreciated the love
given to them by their adoptive parents. Stanford's story had a happier
outcome, which I suspect might have been due to the fact that he went
through proper procedures to track down his mother. Henry's gung-ho
attitude would be guaranteed to infuriate anyone, which it obviously did
his mother.

Happy New Year to you too, Grey!

What gets me is that he seems to realise that he should have gone
through proper procedures, but chose not to do so. IIrc, he even
mentioned that perhaps he should have contacted Barnardo's. Having
upset his mother and her family by his crass behaviour, he then comes
on to the LLS to demand from the people of Clerihan who his father was,
as 'someone out there is bound to know something'. Imagine the scenario
where someone contacts him with what he thinks might be relevant information
and Henry then barges into that man's family!

I realise it must have been a shock for him to find out he was adopted,
especially at such a late stage in his life, but there is a reason proper
procedures have been set down for contacting birth mothers. Perhaps,
if he had displayed a modicum of sensitivity re his mother's feelings, she
might have reacted differently to his approach. Also, I was gobsmacked
when he mentioned the name of the garda who made 'discreet' inquiries
in his mother's village. Surely, he was in a position to know that this was
not entirely ethical?
