Hellfire, Jeremy wrote something I agree with.
Is this Tuesday?

I've contacted the moderators and had your thankz removed :pac:

did you hear Duffy's blood pressure slowly rising though, you can almost hear it through the wireless. When you hear one of the callers say something you know he wont agree with, the breathing pattern changes, you hear the sighing, you hear his chubby fingers moving towards the volume fader for the caller.

I think RTE must recognise at this stage that the most entertaining thing about Liveline is when the callers start baiting Duffy.

Didn't hear the show again today.....worth listening back to, or just go for the Irish college pod?

Re. accents; having spent a great deal of time in Norn Iron I have found that the girls who went to the posher schools so to speak have very soft accents, but often the boys who went to the same schools can be quite sharp. Females up North always seem to have less harsh accents than the males and dat. This I find to be true throughout all of the North TBH.......

Mrs. ButtersSuki is a Northern Prod and Unionist so to speak, though she's been down here since she went to The Protestant University (dats Trinners in case yisser all didn't know). Aside from her saying "wee" and "ock" occasionally you wouldn't know she's from the North at all, you'd likely think she's just "well spoken".

As we're talking about accents though, I find certain Munster accents to be horrendous; take the Killinaskully "dat's rye-it" Tipp accent for example, to some of the more rural Cork and Kerry accents. Mrs. ButtersSuki has no idea what any of the Healy-Rae's do be saying so to speak - just can't understand it at all. I can understand them all, but sometimes I wish I didn't..........

"rye-it". THat's you and me finished so.

I'm from the very Nort Westren end of the Keee - ounty,

The Mattie McGrath accent drives me mad. I've friend from dee oowwn sowath who has lived in Hamburg for the last few years. He was hard enough to understand before he went over. Now he speaks bi-lingual in both accents.

It's an accent to behold.

One day he’ll arrive into studio wearing one of those fairly routine 24 hour BP Monitors and we’re bound to hear it explode in a backfire on air.

Bloody yanks. Who goes on holiday and calls up a local whineline to complain that he smelled some hash in Borrisokane, or wherever?

Granted, it must be pertrurbing to be in a country where everyone isn't a ball of stress and armed to the hilt with semi-automatic weapons.

2smiggy

to be honest I'm sure where the yank was frequenting , but I rarely come across the smell of hash !! Plus the boom is back, who smokes hash any more, peasants

The cops busted a growhouse there last year.

FWIW I find weed far more widespread than hash. And the smell would knock a horse.

Well it's the 50th anniversary of the Bogside war ... wonder will Joe have a special on it todaY?

I hadn't heard that about the growhouse, doesn't surprise me really. One of the biggest changes since the onset of the last recession, in towns like Borrisokane, Nenagh, Cloughjordan, is the availability of drugs.

Also, yeah it's a bit odd that he specifically described a hash problem. I'd associate hash with students in the 1990s, I'd be surprised if it's that common anywhere anymore.

It’s not too uncommon to smell it in my relatively posh block.

I think he's trying to skew the Bogside alongside Hong Kong.

Cat does a very convincing nordridden accent, i.e. incomprehensible gurgling.

Joe didn't have enough people supporting his point of view last week, so he is now rehashing the conversation with cherry picked callers to air opinions similar to his own.

No it’s not a divided society at all joe !! , what a moronic question , they’d savage each other given half a chance .

ffs, it's outrageous. Everybody else has to pay for advertising unless you work for RTE. Shameful misuse of resources.

Dee forbes could raise plenty of funds if joe was billed for all the free advertising he gets
