Didn't Eoghan self isolate 'so-well' he went off to Australia. Or at least he's meant to.

All I'm saying is I will gladly pay to get him to get outta here.

He did say that he was moving to Australia but he continues to grace us with his presence on RTE.

Attention seeking. Threatening to leave so we'd appreciate him more.

It'd be nice if he fecked off though. He's a terrible, terrible dose.

And it would be brilliant if he took his sister with him

The actors come across as the type of cyclists that break red lights (because they don't drive a car) or cycle on the footpath when suits (again because they don't drive a car)

There's something so annoying about the pair of them.

I'd imagine he'd look at the likes of Laura Whitmore and Angela Scanlon and realise 'if they have no hope outside of Ireland, you're screwed Eoghan'.

But his ego won't allow him go where he won't be recognised.

Couldn't agree me, more thoughts exactly. The obligatory Garrihy too of course.

There's a weird implication that that these people are really down with the kids. I suspect they are not.

Eoghan McDermott is not exactly a teenager, despite his collection of Topman shirts and love for sh*t young bands.

Her pronunciation of 'Castle' annoys me... is it me, or does she say it more like 'Cast- ell' with emphasis on the 'T'?

I wonder if it's cos yer wan is trying to hide her Cork accent, and it's tripping her up.

It sounds really strange, her voice. Very irritating.

I remember the one that I think it was AIB had, about 'backing brave' :rolleyes: that voice also made me want to throw something at the tv.

'We're hip with the kids'...

'Aren't most of you closer to 40 than to 20?' Could they not have found anybody younger or more relevant?

"...space to ride safe"

Shouldn't it be "....space to ride safely"?

Just looks and sounds wrong to me, unless it's "backing brave"/ "let's make possible"
trendy English mangling.

That “let’s make possible” just instantly makes me think of Ralph Wiggums unpossible.

If it takes this shower to get through to a large number of young people out there the dangers we currently face then we're in even bigger trouble than I thought.

The BOI voiceover is really annoying, but that AIB one is the most annoying voiceover in the history of Irish broadcasting. Nothing else comes even close.

The current BOI ad is part of this current trend to have voiceover actors sound as "real" and relatable as possible. It's the same with continuity announcers. A lot of them sound like they've been dragged in off the street and handed a piece of paper. I wish they went back to when they all sounded like stage actors.

That Virgin Media ad with the girl. At the start she has an English accent, because ehh, she's English. For some reason they stick in a dubbed Irish accent at the end. Silly stuff

Manach

The nanny state no excuses is back again with its ham fisted messaging. Still, it is rather quaint that there showing a pub in the middle of pandemic.

He’s a head wrecker, sadly. Virtue-signaller, hipster and ‘quirky’ (although, ironically, one could predict his opinion on just about any topic).

Yep, literally went on the Late Late show, after Caroline Flack's suicide, and went full virtue signaller-even made the story about 'me, me, me'.
Denounced social media, etc etc.

As soon as the interview was over, he was on twitter. Literally, minutes later.

McDermott was in that ad less than a second, gas how triggered some people round here get by him.

He's a cisgendered. heterosexual, priviliged white male... of course we're triggered by him. :P

(Joking, but that's the type of wordage you'll see him use).

They've gathered up the most annoying c*nts from the canteen to tell young people to isolate:

that horrible tit Eoghan McDermott and his fringe, the Kavanagh gob****e, Lottie Ryan looking like something out of the Adams family and the singer from Kodaline who takes himself oh so seriously.

You'd be hard pressed to put together a bigger collection of wánkers.

An ad that reminds you of what a terrible bloody place RTE is.

I fuckin hate that ad! Lottie Ryan, Eoghan McDermott and yer one who was on Podge and Rodge. Annoying tits.

You mean the Pddge and Rodge show that absolutely nobody watched? You could offer to pay people to watch it, and you still couldn't give it away.
Got cancelled faster than the St Patricks' Day parade.

But YOU WILL LIKE DOIRREANN!!! She's got RTE connections... she's 'insta-famous'...
LIKE HER!!!

Honestly, it's bizarre that the ONE decent show under Dee Forbes tenure was the Tommy Tiernan show.
And that was a pretty much discovered by accident. But he got high profile guests, many notable, who were happy to sit down and 'have a chat'.
It was cost effective too-literally himself and Fred 'whatshisface' hosting it.

Yeah it annoys the **** out of me as well - especially the one on roads of 80kph. If the cyclists are 3 abreast (as they usually are) are we all supposed to drive in the central median to give them the required space?

Well, yes.

Do you need someone to explain to you how to overtake?

I've only ever seen them ride 2 abreast to tbf, which I think they're legally allowed to do. Even if they are riding single file you are still breaking the central median if you want to overtake them safely. The last thing I want is to have a cyclist's life on my conscience because he had to swerve at the last minute to avoid a pot hole or something. So it makes sense to keep a cool head and overtake.

Granted the ad is very annoying.

saying legally allowed sort of makes it sound like its not recommended but there is nothing the law can do to stop them. Cycling 2 abreast is often recommended for safety reasons.

I don't get the car logic. Do you think pedestrians breaking red lights do so because they do not have cars? Are people cars breaking reds doing so because they do not own trucks?

Gas how expressing an honest opinion is deemed to be 'triggered'.

New strategy. Advise motorists that cyclists have Covid 19. Then they'll definitely give them space.

The irony being, they are pushing the message of being "creative" when RTE as a company are the polar opposite of the word.
