What is your fascination with Des Moines? It’s about the 6th time you’ve named dropped it.

He's like the guy tells a 'joke', but thinks no one heard it the first time.. so keeps going with it..

Title suggestion, "Will Louise O Neill visit the holy stone of Clonrichert for inspiration?"

And will it still be a class two relic after they -ahem- remove it?

Louise is featured on p8 if the Indo today!! Sh says her book Asking For It ‘feels more contemporary now, and more important now in some ways’. Maybe I’m being a meanie, but is an artist describing their work as important not a very pompous and self important thing to do?

It would be for an artist. For a mercenary virtue-signaller, it's just an effort to shift a few more copies.

On with Ciara Kelly on Newstalk today. Did not hear it.

Someone named Lucy Kennedy recently called her on that very thing. Told her 'Self praise was no praise'. Touched a nerve as she screencapped it (from Facebook I think) and tweeted it out having a real go at the person. My thinking was that she must have thought it was the Lucy Kennedy, otherwise why make a big thing of it. It wasn't though.

She should call it "Whitmore's Wisconsin Cheese" :-)

Or Natural Femininity, with no Male Additives.

What is with Ireland (probably the world tbf) and the way the media latches onto a few anointed people. Dermot Bannon has some indo artcile about him every single day. Louise is on some sort of news media every single day.
They find a handful of people and rag the **** out of them before moving on.

The news of the sad death of a kid on Room to Improve was taking the biscuit. I mean, it was sad, yes-but was it 6 O'Clock and 9 O'Clock newsworthy? Just because he was on a show two years ago.

It's not really newsworthy, to be quite honest.

Possibly, Muireann seems to be going that way too. She was at at least one of the Repeal marches. And maybe one or two of the women's marches.

And what of that?

I've no problem with LON being torn apart for her dangerous rhetoric but I've no problem with those marches either.

Stop the press, I think our dear LON might have a rival.
