"Random act of kindness" now.


The show where Joe was introduced to that a few years ago was hilarious. Some clueless airhead D4 teenager/stewdent who paid for some howiya's groceries. Joe was fawning over her almost as much as he would if Bbbbbertie would grace him with a call congratulating him on his buke., whilst completely ignoring the fact that the whole point of RAKs were that you didn't go on social meeja or on national focking rayjo telling everyone how focking loike totes amazeballs you are.

Rome wasn't built in a night.

Make America first.


It's not like either of these aren't well known expressions. Get them right or don't use them.

ButtersSuki

I see we had the American version of an Independent Critical Thinker on the show today. It was during the segment where Joe went to the canteen and had lunch and then went for a dump on his way back to the stew-dio so to speak.

On a bus (public transport - oh the shame!) so said I'd listen back. I'm regretting it now....the Trump talk is so stupid it's like having 4 Joe's on the line at the same time so to speak.

WHOY does Joe giggle to himself like he does? He did it incessantly today yet nothing he giggled at was remotely funny. He truly is a bizarre man.

"Female genetalia lookalike clothing"
"Professor of Measuring Crowds"

Truly a bizarro show today so to speak.

I thought I'd heard it all but then we end the show with "Pussy hats" so to speak.

I love the way Joe gets his back up when anybody says "the media" were at fault or "the media" reported falsehoods. There was no mention from Joe that the media is the US reported on Trump's FIRST day that he had removed a bust of MLK from the White House. This was put out without the reporter actually working out for himself that somebody was actually standing in front of the bust of MLK.

But it seems that when the media makes a mistake, it doesn't count, because they are presumed to be the wholesome purveyors of the truth. Which is kind of strange when you consider the medias reporting of Lance Armstrong, Hillsborough, Milly Dowler, Amanda Knox and many many other stories.

Joe would be better off getting back down off his high horse and taking a bit of criticism on behalf of the media. Because they, and HIM, are deserving of criticism.

Irish Daily Mail published a seriously misleading picture on Sat. It showed crowds at the Obama and Trump inaugurations side by side. I watched it on CNN and saw before and after aerial shots. The Trump photo shown was taken when the ceremony was winding down and people were drifting away. The Obama crowd was bigger but not by the factor implied.
Trump can be criticised on many fronts but the media are acting in an appallingly biased manner.

anyway Washington DC is 90% Democratic

There's only 2 things I can say to that.

1) shame on you for giving him a big head and bestowing media status on him. He's a telephone operator, not a serious journalist. Joe will not be winning any Pulitzers
2) dis horse you mention....wat colour is it?

Just listened to Hyacinth Bouquet and de death debt collector segment - talk about a staged segment for Joe to lick his own arse so to speak. It is absolutely disgraceful that he's allowed get away with that kind of behaviour - setting things up so he looks like the hero and the corporate entity buckled under his mighty weight. The rudeness of him talking to that woman too - hurry up, get to the point will ya, answer that phone, I'm drowning here waiting for you to get to the point....and this in a segment designed and staged to make him look better?!!!!

If he's going to do these type of segments at least pretend it's not completely staged FFS

I was berating myself all afternoon for having those very thoughts.....my mind even drifted back to those halcyon days of Drop the dead donkey and those incredible stories.

PeterTheNinth

Like I've said many times before, there is no point in Joe throwing the weight of Liveline into scaring businesses into ripping up the bill for ONE person, unless he is gonna do it for everybody that they rip off. The program is meant to be about people pushing for changes in procedure, not as a Joe'll Fixit with Duffy handing out the badges to himself and the guests.

I saw it lately in one of those it was alright in the 70s.. 80s type shows

sligojoek

He's a tool. Generalising that all women in their 80s drink only Dubonnet or sherry.

Mena Mitty

Well if he mentions Pernod and crisps in the one sentence...we have what Jeremy Kyle would call a full house ;-)

Will Joe venture in to the Bernardos charity story today...

A NUMBER OF financial irregularities have been found by a HSE internal audit into the activities of children’s charity Barnardos.

According to the internal auditors, “unclear information was provided to the board of Barnardos and to the media in relation to the CEO’s salary and CEO’s donations and Dublin City Council honorarium”.

The audit, which looked at records between 2012 and 2015, found that CEO Fergus Finlay was paid a gross salary of €114,651 for the year 2014, which TheJournal.ie identified as the 9th largest in a survey of charities in Ireland last year.

Under the terms of the Haddington Road agreement, the maximum pay scale in the HSE had been set at €110,183.

While Finlay had taken a voluntary pay cut of 5% in 2012, this was reinstated to €117,591 in the middle of 2014.

No doubt Duffy will plamás him and tell him a real detective would be proud of de wurk he did done in solving dis case so to speak, along with multiple other platitudes about his magnificent, wunderful, fantastic gesture so to speak. And likely ask him did his role in Fair City prepare him for de investigative wurk and dat. Art imitating life.

Would love to see Finlay hauled over the coals probably a good mate of another socialist millionaire Duffy so not going to happen

Be funny if somebody rang in and told Joe that he was just promoting the new storyline for his character in Fair City, that it never happened in real life at all.

A Ciarog doesn't defecate in the house of another Ciarog, therefore, Joe Duffy will not attack Fergus Finlay, nor will he allow any critiscism of him.

They all move in the same circles, so they'll all protect each other.

PeterTheNinth

The other thing that I couldn't understand was yesterday when the woman had just found out from the Eir guy had cancelled the bill she said "Oh, he's only cancelling it cos I rang Liveline", Duffy was there "no, no no he didn't".... actually pretending that he had served some public service, and trying to pretend like this wasn't just a case of his threatening Eir with a bad PR situation.

A delicious Irony on the news at one.

Your man had just finished reading the headlines, during which he gave the details of the Aer Lingus story.

When the headines were finished, the Aer Lingus advert boldly declares

Joe will be 61 this Friday, which also happens to be Funny Friday.

Will they do a fitting tribute to him, will it be a considered circle jerk like Syl Fox's 79th birthday party that was live on the Liveline a couple of years ago?

There's more that aren't listed though, this I do know from an RTE source so to speak.

Honestly if you're bored someday you should read the bios...they're hilarious.

Name and shame, Joe.

That will only happen if Joe's fallen out with the proprietor.
