The shower of cults that are the Palmarians and Joe Duffy's total obsession with them.
This is their pope and his new bride, both of whom will be stripping off for some magazine this weekend.



Driving in the armageddon that will be Dublin tomorrow, Joe sounds angry already.

And some intelligible garble about dangerous buses at the end...(serious WTF moment there)

He got very stuttery near the end there. He hadn't a clue what he was trying to say.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the preservative mothballs were a particularly poisonous variety, long since banned, and the fumes from them affected the KK players in subtle and mysterious ways, causing them to miss balls, footing, and the cup.

I don't think any trick like that will help Mayo. They are still one funeral away from winning the All-Ireland. All the Dubs have to do over the next week and a half is forget training and keep an eye on the death notices.

Pal Mer E Fooking Church again...Joes pet topic, perhaps he should do a book on it and research it on a beach in Spain.
Dublin Bus
Dashcams, what do you do if a bus is driving dodge, who do you complain to so to speak...Joe of course.

You don't complain to anyone. You just wait until the bus driver is close enough to hear you and then shout "Scab!"

probably digging up the time when the bus drove up on the path at Ushers Quay or somewhere- we have an eye witness on line 1- how did that make you feel, X years ago & what colour was the bus

I'm not sure that somebody who can run faster than 99.999% of able bodied people should qualify for the paralympics. I think what Jason Smith has going is that very irish thing... a racket.

TheHomeService

Right, how will Joe begin the programme?

"Condolences, Maura. It happened in 1956 ....",

Whoy caller does a young man have to get up? What about her fellow women?

somesoldiers

They have badges in London- I am Preggers, innit

Atlantic Dawn

Flukey

Oh get up the f**king yard, if they did offer the seat the woman probably would have taken offence at them offering the seat because she's a woman.

As a man, you just can't win these days.

2smiggy

era feck off you old bag !!

perhaps your daughter should just move to London

TheHomeService

I know a man who got abused by a "lady" for offering her his seat on a bus.

Atlantic Dawn

How topical, the DART on a day before the bus strikes, Liveline the pulse of Ireland so to speak.

somesoldiers

I used to have a huge gripe with public transport, feckers taking up two seats etc

My solution: I now get the 650am train- lovely comfort, always get a table to myself!

PathMatcher

Did Joe just say "Dort" with a D4 accent?

Itssoeasy

I live by the logic of I'll stand for the national anthem and pregnant women on public transport.

Living Off The Splash

What age is elderly these days?
