    I’m not sure Christine’s hair loss felt like gold to me. She seems to have severe mental health issues.

    As the story unfolded it got weirder and weirder, I didn’t realise initially that it took place outside of Ireland, and as each detail was revealed, it got more and more confusing.

    But I came away in no doubt that the poor woman has lost her hair, and put it down to stress caused by mental health issues.

    Joe shouldn’t have aired it.

    Agreed

    It's the bally ballyness of it that makes it all seem so bally bally.

    There's at least three on that list that the caller is not the full shilling. I have posted before about maybe not posting number 5 on the list as I said it felt like slowing down to look at a car crash.
    At the time though when they are live on air it is Gold.

    What colour is the parrot?

    I was in fits laughing when someone posted something along the lines of 'Well Mary, it just happens we tracked down the parrot and here his is on line 2 here- say hello, ***SQUAWK HELLOO SQUAWK***'

    There may have been a few nuggets that I missed. Probably not though. It's been a barren few months.

    Maeve's Magee-suit-failure V Copeland-suit-triumph had a whiff of gold about it in its ludicrousness and its having been a totally unfair piece of broadcasting. A Copeland advert came in Radio 1 the next day, but strangely I heard no more such adverts after that. And then Joe's mention of being "in trouble" after it. It was a very stupid thing for Joe/production team to have on, letting it be said that after the Magee "misunderstanding" that Copeland was able to fulfil the order in instant, thus making a lie out of it.

    Or at least a lie out of the sequence of events. I'm not sure that Maeve did not do a somewhat simultaneous approach to both tailors, on a mission to show up any that weren't "woke" enough. Knowing Copeland is tailor to the "stars" and would get publicity she would have guessed a free suit was a likely accompaniment to the publicity, so it was win-win for herself & Copeland. I think Magees was probably set-up for the publicity stunt, aided and abetted by Liveline.

    The email of complaint I sent in was replied by an email stating that the Director General among other individuals would be viewing the complaint. In the past the complaints got sent directly to the programs, and I don't think they got anywhere up the line in RTÉ. There seems to have been a change of procedure as far as I can see. So if Dee Forbes got a look at the gist of my complaint and no doubt lots of others in same vein, she would be likely taking a slightly closer look at this type of practice on Liveline. But Joe will keep at it until he retires, and it it comes to look like like he's being pushed, I can imagine he would withdraw his services to the show and stick to other vanity projects.

    She's as witty and clever as Herr Duffy (and that's not a compliment), who is no doubt still congratulating himself on "Maeve To Measure" :rolleyes:
