No Late Late for me tonight.I watched all of the Graham Norton Show,great to see Bruce Springsteen and Robert De Niro on the couch together.
Unfortunately Bruce didn't perform,instead it was the very bland James Blunt who sang some instantly forgettable ditty.
Anyway I missed nothing exciting on the Late Late.I would love to hear John Bercow interviewed by a good interviewer.Those TV licence ads,Duffy went over time on Liveline yesterday so that he could fit the f...ing thing in.

I saw that can you imagine Tubridy interviewing Springsteen I'd give him a minute before he'd bring Trump into it

I'll just say this before I go. Duffy knows absolutely nothing about what a Belfast street looked like in the 70s and 80s or what it was like to live there while all this was going on. Like a lot of southerners (and I don't really blame them) he kept his head well down around this time. And one thing you'd be a long time waitin for the likes of Duffy to come to your aid when catholics were being burned out of their homes.. A very long time waiting and now he revisits it when it's safe to do so to dig into the deaths of children to feed some fetish he has around death and put his own ignorant uneducated slant on history.. Where were you Duffy when we needed you???

Well said. Shaping around students politics in Trinity and then hanging on Gay Byrne's coat tails.

I'm sorry I shouldn't get emotional after all these years have passed but the likes of Duffy seriously annoy me painting everything in black and white when everything was grey back then ira, inla, uda, uvf, udr, British army, ruc they were all at it. the whole thing was a tangled mess and still is though not as bad now it's still there an it'll take generations to wash out if given a chance . People like Duffy will never understand never in a month of Sundays

Your posts are spot on.

But is it not fair to say the North is a place that needs a 3rd angle projection at times.

An outsider opinion. A third party resolution.

Because inside it you are blind to the daftness of it?

A place refusing to govern itself says it all.

The Duffster is not the man for that job

Having driven an E-Type 4.2 straight 6 (Once with the owner a mile ahead for 25 miles in case there were any cops out) I wouldn'd go near one of their modern yokes. Maybe the one with the 3 exhausts in the middle. F-Type I think.

Disclaimer: I don't like her since she pipped my old mate Julian Gough at a kids' books award a few years ago.

He did interview Bruce back in 2016,it was recorded in London,you will find it on Youtube.

Blimey the films on both rte 1 and 2 are up there with the worst I've ever seen.

When Bruce was doing "The Seeger Sessions" in the Point, a few of us from my local organised a "bus up". One of the lads who had zero interest in Bruce went along for the ride - It made things cheaper for the rest of us. Anyway, after a sh1tload of magic mushrooms and other stuff (spiked, of course) we went to the gig. Our protagonist got fcuked out for shouting "What the fcuk is this sh1t? Play 'The River'.

When was Naas in D4?

Lot of ill will out their for individuals who are lumped into a stereotype.

Bit like saying everyone from Kerry is like Danny Healy Rae.

There's a significant cohort in Naas who model themselves on the D4 stereotype.

Get yourself down to Grace's disco bar one night and you'll see em out in full force. Not a Kildare accent in earshot. Heaslip is a good example. Out living in Sandymount now with the goys.

Accent aside, he's a wanker by all accounts.

Bruce did play The River in the Point back then,it was during the second of the three shows there in November 2006.It was in waltz time but was not included on the Live In Dublin album which was recorded over those three night.

If I remember correctly it can be heard on the CD if you know what you're listening for. I'll ask the lads tomorrow what song it was. .

THis happened early in the gig. "What the fcuk is this sh1t? Play 'The River'. Mightn't have been the exact words he used but he wasn't impressed. .

A mate of mine has done it a few times. He insists on coming over here every year and dragging me 3/4 ways up Ben Bulben and Ben Whiskin while he goes to the top. (My knees aren't great.) This year we were after 2 days of very heavy rain so he didn't chance it. We went for a few pints instead and I ended up getting a slap and a black eye from a randommer.

See Liveline thread for details.

Lies. It was in the paper that no humans were the victims of one punch attacks in the Sligo region that night, and a Garda stated this in court. I know who I believe.

:rolleyes::pac:;)

riddles

It shows how Tubridy is a w@nker who has zero personality and zero empathy.
The question to the old woman whose soon was abducted and murdered was just insane - can you tell us what they did to him?
We know they abducted and killed him.

He wanted her to say “On January 30th, 1973, Philip was on his way home when he was abducted from the street by loyalist paramilitaries. He was taken to the Giant’s Ring, outside Belfast, where they hooded him with his coat, beat him, and then shot him several times.”

Tubridy is a complete no brained twat. He’s got prompt cards with what looks like 24 sized font on it has a week to prepare and that’s the best he can do?

He is a tool for sure. I remember watching him interview Finbar Furey and he asked him why he closed his eyes sometimes when he sings. Finbar was visibly uncomfortable with the question and I was cringing watching it. Turbrity is an overpaid pretentious tool of a man.

There's a terrible dishonesty about his interviews as well. Just listening to him speaking to Pippa O'Connor and Lucy Kennedy this weeks - nothing but compliments dressed up as questions. "The reason I like you is", "You're great at A, but you're also great at B", "I have your book/documentary/supermop and I have to say it's fantastic". Every interview becomes like an infomercial. When you know that he, the Beatle/America politic/literature/history loving fop that he is, would have absolutely zero interest in what the guest is whoring around.

I know there is a certain element of having to be nice to the guests and making them feel comfortable, but surely it's possible to do it with a shred of humility.

He is very limited as an interviewer. His knowledge across all topics I would say is very moderate on the lower side. Seems his prep and research work in the days beforehand for the show is poor. I'd hazard a guess he has a list of questions that he regurgitates for all guests tweaking slightly. He is unable to think on his feet and ask the probing questions that viewers want to see. We are not getting value.

They need to freshen things up, the series is dying a death this year. It's Friday night, the entertainment factor is largely missing.

I genuinely can’t think of a more ghoulish gift to give somebody for Christmas than Joe’s buke.

Surely something a photography buke like ‘Dogs Underwater’ would suffice.

I can’t see this being for the average person, even one who is interested in modern history. I’m assuming every family who made a contribution to the content of the book is being gifted a copy by Joe/Freya/publisher. So what is the market for it?

Reference & lending libraries, public & institutional. There will be on average two copies bought for every public library in Ireland plus spare. Some schools & college libraries. RDS library. Trinity college & others. Other institutions, North & ROI. Some copies in larger British libraries, London, BLLD holdings, Glasgow etc.

Personally bought copies by/for people who are avid collectors of Irish history books and have the shelf space to accommodate it.

The odd one bought as Christmas present by aunts/uncles who view it as an educational sort of book for their sibling’s family and who know that family likes book in general and as it’s being advertised for the Christmas market and they’re not sure what else to buy for a family.

Later unsold copies, flogged at reduced price, may be bought by individuals who consider it might make a suitable “coffee table book”, seeing as it’s so cheap anyway.

That’s my reckoning of the market, and I have worked in books all my life. It’s a limited market. Nonetheless it has its merits as a reference book for research and quotes, with especial academic credence by virtue of Freya’s oversight.

It's a bit strange and inappropriate for Mr Speaker 'Not Happy' John Bercow to appear on a live TV chat show in another country.

He is meant to be above politics and seen to be an honest broker keeping order and balance between MPs and the Government.

He should really wait until the end of the month when he quits his Speaker gig.

I've seen him on Dutch TV in a chat show format in the last 8 months or so not unusual.

I don't think he says anything that compromises his position - it's more the 'order, order' fame and the olde worlde customs of HoC and people interested in his story from that.

People might be interested, but that doesn't validate his actions.

Good judgement, impartiality, respect for convention, dignity - all important attributes for the Speaker Of The House Of Commons. John Bercow displays none of them.

The Late Late Show

Was waiting around last night waiting for John Bercow instead of doing the sensible thing and watching season 5 of Breaking Bad before I get to El Camino. I waited until Mrs Brown's second visit and then said to hell with this and put on Breaking Bad. Tubridy has a nasty habit of keeping the good guests until the end and expects us to watch Mrs Brown, a sports personality and another unfunny supposed comedian. Useless.

Mrs Brown and his/her smut has long outworn any welcome it once had at this stage. Bernard O'Shea was not much better. Why does Tubridy always insist on having an overdose of smutty comedy here. Might as well bring back Al Porter while you're at it!
