I would doubt Duffy has seen any of the pre MBB stand up stuff from O'Carroll in the early years, none of this would be his bag so to speak...

Our family used to enjoy getting a comedy DVD after the pub on Christmas Eve opening our presents etc. for quite a few years these were Brendan O'Carroll dvds....How's Your Jolly Roger, Wibbly Wobbly Wonder etc


And yes I will admit I have watched MBB and laughed at it. I don't record it or watch it religiously but if there's nothing else on I'll watch it.


Is it the best comedy ever IMO- certainly not. Is it the best comedy of the last 16 years, humm I can't really think of anything I have laughed at other than MBB & Inbetweeners since then. I didn't like IT crowd, Black Books, anything with David Mitchell in (though I do like him on QI which I listen to an episode of most nights as I go to sleep, must be on the 20th cycle of them all at this stage, though cant see myself going any further than series M, we'll see how it goes!)

There I said it

Surprised the school bus spaces story on the news now isn't a topic on Liveline.

I think he's saying condolences with regards to him being of Italian descent and for those people who died... I think.

And tell me, caller; what's the nearest pub to you?
Actually, I'm wondering whether this caller has a relative in RTE.

Never backward in coming forward....he'll be mentioning his role in this more than Bertie mentions the Good Friday Agreement so to speak.

Your dad fought in the war- before or after Italy changed sides?

Joe: And when your did luke down and saw dat your leg did break in two and de bone was sticking out through your skin.....how did dat make you feel?

Atlantic Dawn

Would your house inshurdance cover you for an earthquake or would it be classed as an act of god so to speak?

Dan Jaman

Not an Irish Bar in sight.

liam7831

This guy sounds really upset

ButtersSuki

Caller: These house aren't made of brick, they're made of stone. 3 feet thick stone walls.



So better construction with a stronger material than brick then caller?

ButtersSuki

Joe: And wat is your son's favourite ice cream flavour?

I survived the great earthquake in July 1984, should I ring in? It didn't knock me out of bed, so I didn't sustain any serious injuries, but my late father nearly cut himself while shaving. Nah, I don't think Joe would go for that.

Well he's obviously not a regular listener as if he was he'd have been on with his shopping list of household items that he needs to have replaced so to speak.

Damn- no dead rellies, he won't last much longer

Are you joking? He'd get 3 days out of that.

Let this caller go Joe, he's too cheerful

'It'll have to be torn down........

...........sure it's only stone. 3ft thick stone walls reinforced with steel.'

Is he ignoring it because it's an ongoing investigation I wonder?

Atlantic Dawn

What if he was to instead rebuild the house out of hay?
