If all the taxi drivers are using it as a public toilet, then fair enough.

What hotel is this? My policy is not to patronise such places that stop ordinary decent people using the jacks.

Jan_de_Bakker

Jaysus ... can you imagine if there were public toilets in O Connel street ?

the state of them!!!

Dan Jaman

Used to be a by-law that hackney drivers could piss on their carriage wheel.

Atlantic Dawn

He should have said he was picking up a customer from the gents.

The toilets were being used for junkies and picking up those of the same sex before Gaydar and the likes. They were shut down for a very good reason. the one in O'Connell St was especially notorious for it.

Liam Fay spent a day dressed as a priest going in and out of it one day, he had some interesting experiences. i read this book years ago when living in Germany, gave it to a few mates, they thought it was a plss take and didn't believe me when I told them it was true. Crazier times.

Seen these in Temple Bar, the women would walk straight up and have a look down at your sausage. Very off putting.

Luckily, Tommy de Rapper spotted that Joe was leading him into a raptrap and skilfully dodged the pitfall.

HeidiHeidi

Did anyone else get the impression that Tommy the (alleged) rapper thought he was coming onto the show to lament the availability of accommodation now that he's been burnt out of his bedsit in Mountjoy Sq, but Joe zeroed in on the tragedy/hero/disaster elements of the incident, and then got caught up in the hilarity of the whole "rap" thing?

He sounded like he was taking the piss out of him by the end of it.

Show was pure trash, as usual. It's my first time tuning in this year (go me!! ) and hopefully my last - my excuse for today is I was sick in bed and hadn't the energy to change the station.

Would you like to donate your body to de Real Boddies Exhibition or your skeleton to Trinity College? Did you know I went to Trinity College?

Well hopefully a relative or a friend will go to de bukeshop and buy wan for you. It's only €19.99. It was important ta me ta keep de price under €20 so to speak. Wat's dat?

It's hard to believe that a newspaper article now can be based on a phone call to a radio show.

I mean that could be a totally made up story??

This is not a new phenomenon. I would conservatively estimate that 30-40% of stories on De Lahv Lahn make it into the Indo - we've even had cases where the stories appear online before the end of the show. It's cheap as chips journalism from a rag so to speak.

That's definitely not what I'd call journalism. I'd expect it from the journal.ie perhaps but not the Independent but obviously I'm naïve.

Won't matter to the Indo, all libel from anything dodgy will rest with RTÉ as the original broadcaster.

Heard bits and pieces of yesterdays Liveline while out driving.

About the story of the fire in Mountjoy Square, werent these exactly the type of accommodation units that Joe was crying over a ban being put on them a few years ago. I've seen a lot of these type of buildings and if there is a fire in the basement or ground floor its usually next to impossible for the tenants on the upper floors to escape.

And on the 21 year old fella who had 3 heart attacks while on holiday in Crete, he didnt push the answer as to why the inshurdance didnt pay out. Well I have my own theory on that (a healthy 21 year old having 3 hears attacks isnt normal is it).
