In fairness She's a lovely person. Two of her children and two of mine have been good friends for years

The Tombs, caller, the Tombs.

When I was a teenager my mother & I were friends with a fellow dog breeder who helped deliver the puppies. As she had surname Scott, Mum wondered if she might be related to her. She said “oh no dear, I’m a Romany gypsy and a Methodist”. Mum had imagined she was a Spiritualist.

What's the odds of a book plug between now and 3.00?

Yep he's only using yoga as a leg into the conversation.

Don't be encouraging the Presbyterians. They think everyone's doomed, including themselves.

You would probably be sued by one of the parents for the mental anguish the kids suffered as a result of running around a rectangle a number of times.

How the fcuk are so many teachers available to talk to Joe.

It isnt June, July or August. Or the last week in October, the 2 and a half weeks at Christmas, the middle of February or the two weeks at Easter.

That's not what the PISA reports say, and it isn't my observation from nieces and nephews in school. We learned Na Tuiseil in secondary school, my oldest nephew started them in 4th class. Irish kids have some of the best literacy levels in the OECD.

Privately educated Prods and others maybe, not the kids from very working class Dublin, eg Ballyer. My library friends can’t even get them to spell their own names.

'Painting the Titanic'

??


Must be a Nordie phrase

Mangling of the proverbs, sez oi.


Painting the Forth Bridge was a seemingly endless task, and was, back in the day, but not nowadays.
Painting the Titanic was a single task that was successfully accomplished.

Once.

That's fair enough, but I'm not sure the situation is getting any worse in those areas -- if it is, I doubt it's because of yoga.

With increased use of screens, you'd imagine there's an organic increase in literacy, even playing video games requires you to be able to read commands and solve problems. Online presence in general probably means 10-year-olds today, overall, are more literate than 10-year-olds growing up in 1999. At least that's what I'd assume.

Family culture is more influential in basic good literacy than school. My mother was a terrible woman for correcting people's grammar and spelling, she’d interrupt a dog’s bark if it went off key.

Btw, going to Yoga class Wednesday, bad Catlick dat I am. Have never done it before but good for de leg an dat. I may be excommunicated with any luck and have to go to de Proddy church which would save me the hill, or better still the Hindu temple in Sandymount as I love de curries an dat.

Catalick Cat, you can’t say dat!

Dat rhymes so to speak.

Sounds like today's show is worth a listen but no sign of it on the player or podcast yet.

Had a bit of a laugh reading through the thread.

Have to ask did Joe ask for the name of the person who died - out of respect, mar dhea, as seems to be the new policy.

Poor young Greta T would be overturning in her fibreglass boat crossing the Atlantic at the thought of all those taxis from Waterford to Faithlegg (nice place) / Remember her childhood has been destroyed (maybe she did too much yoga?) but the callers can repent by not making these unnecessary journeys to Faithlegg.

I have it recorded. I just heard the last half hour live. I;ll give it a listen while reading the thread.

Well, that would have been a discrete maintenance task every few years, and not endless, like the Forth Bridge.

Of course, perhaps I'm missing the actual intent of the 'Painting the Titanic' saying, in that it might be an ironic reference to the futility of painting something that's just going to the bottom of the ocean, but that's only applicable in hindsight.

Do dey prods not provide a Lorne sausage and fried egg on a roll, an dat?

Not just Duffy show that only advertises only RTE. Ronans ads are predominantly RTE shows.

Well done RTE how original.

I wonder will Joe get to the bottom of the government voting scandal and the politicians contempt for the people of this country ? Or maybe he'll do an expose on the homeless and illegal immigration scandals ?? Let's hear it now on da Lahvlahn - or maybe we won't ??

It's very annoying the way she repeats the last line of a report after it ends.

Leo was just up the road with Panti while that chap was dying in the street . Great little country !!
