FUNNY FRIDAY ALARM!

I'm more afraid of FunnyFryday than I am of the Corona Virus. Fact.

How is Joe allowed to get away with doing Funny Friday?

Fergal Bowers always sounds like he's reading out a school essay.

Badly it should the pointed out. The report he gave at 1pm sounded like it used different clips.

I find it very ironic - or maybe appropriate - that the RTE health correspondent always looks and sounds desperately ill.

Moncrieff has an expert on now on how the country should deal with a possible outbreak of the Corona virus.

Will probably be the opposite of Livelines take on things.

Like some of our more recent Ministers for Health (Harney, Reilly)? Harris looks like he hasn't seen sunlight since he was a teenager.

Simon Harris actually does have a considerable chronic health issue, having Crohns Disease.

I did not KNOW DAT!I did not KNOW DAT! I did not KNOW DAT!

With the advances in drug therapy in that condition in particular, it wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as it used to be historically.......so to speak.

Joe was definitely reading the thread today. You could sense the angst and the temper rising at the fact everybody on here was basically laughing our arses off at the forced dose of ApocaLivelinelyptic panic from the mouths of a bunch of weird accent eegits and other eegits cancelling their holidays in Albufiera next June. lol We must be evil incarnate to him

It was my first listen in months, and it was a lightly coloured bronze. We had potential to reach GOLD with Olive so I'd listen back to her maybe but after that it was meh, apart from a few weird accents.

Hard to say. I got a laugh out of the coronavirus segment but a few of the 'expert' callers accents sounded like a hybrid of the cast of 'Friends' mixed with an Irish Atari 3000, so that might wreck yer head a bit. Worth listening for the lol for the caller on about her holiday to Portugal next September or whatever it was

Not for new cases, but a lot of damage has been done to intestines of people with long-standing IBD. I tried biologics, but too much damage done already, and in some people disease is particularly aggressive in nature.

Will funny friday be cancelled due to imminent arrival of the virus to our shores?

The demographic typically in attendance would be of a particularly vulnerable nature (in more ways that one).

One can only hope.
For both, as it were, so to speak.

Not even the coronavirus would go anywhere near the funny friday broadcast, let alone the actual live show. Probably be the safest place to be.

Not even the Corona Virus breaking out in the hotel would stop the crew going for their fees.

Jesus the faux American accent fella drove me mad today because I know a young fella who's exactly the same, basically because he learned to speak from the television rather than from his parents or other adults around him god love him. So annoying you want to slap him.

On the subject of cancelling holidays I wouldn't be doing that but if I had a cruise planned I certainly be thinking twice about it, the thoughts of being stuck in a room with a little porthole for two weeks would drive me to throwing myself overboard.

I’ve a Greek Islands cruise booked, basic tiny cabin, in May. Have never been to Greece and was looking forward to seeing the Athens & isles. For my 60th next year I have a special trans-oceanic cruise booked and paid for, but the discount allowed me to splash out on a balcony.

I couldn’t figure out a lot of the accents today, they seemed hybrid. There is one peculiar hybrid/sounding accent I’m familiar with and that’s the Newfoundland one (or ones). Sounds kind of West Country English crossed with Waterford with a splash of Canadian, in varying amounts depending on which village you come from.

How much she want for the ticket and villa? I can swap for x4 facemasks and tin of soup.

What flavour is the soup ?;)

Oh jaysus Cat I don't know, I wouldn't risk the tiny cabin in case I was stuck in it but you might be fine. I'm just claustrophobic at the best of times. Even in freezing cold weather I would have the bedroom window open for air.
