You're a young man, caller

Fungus’ last day Friday. Sure if today were his last we’d be hearing loadsa recordings of de music so to speak, and tons of clips of him doing dis an dat, and all de RTÉ luvvies phoning in. It would take up de entire show. No way would he be slipping out quietly. He’s just prepping us for Froightful Froyday.

No caller, it will be a celebration of Fungus’ wurkin loife, but there will indeed by a generous amount of pre-recordings. Could be some Gold in there.

Probably to preach about the evils of fast food and to hand out free porridge.

A box of Krispy Krem donuts and a few bottles of Lidl Bucks Fizz in the office after work like the rest of us when a colleague retires.

If there's a dedicated on air show to a member of staff when leaving....is it any wonder this country is in the state it is.

Spending money like buttons.

NK would normally be hosting a big party too-remember all the “stars” who got Covid at it early on.

This fella is over 70 and lonely I reckon.

He's probably used to spending his days telling stories to anybody who will listen (in the pub, in the shop, in the café, in the GAA club). Since the lockdown he hasn't had a chance to do it and decided to ring Joe.

He would fit right in with most of the frequent posters to this thread.

But for a slight accident of no money and space to keep it, I'd have had one in 1975, when big cars were being virtually given away. If things had been different, I'd have taken it and kept it until now, if I could.
Same in 1978, had to turn down an Interceptor for peanuts.

On the other end of the scale. I know a lad who built himself a big hanger (( during the mad boom) then went and bought himself a helicopter to put in it. Was taking lessons but like any kid with a toy couldn't resist fiddling with it . Anyways he rotated the blades too much and up she went and hopped off the ceiling. When he went to get it repaired the accident investigation crowd were down on him like a ton of bricks. Several hundred grand down the swanney.

Wasn’t paying attention back in de day, but Aonghus did work on kiddies TV. No doubt Bosco encountered him.

Don't remember him on Bosco, but he fronted "Anything Goes" for a while.

So this year so far there will have been 3 topics broadcast on national media purely because of the hosts relationship with the people in question: Syl Fox, Ivor Callaly and soon a retiring producer. I'm not going to include Gleeson or the american one as I think they were just incidental. I couldnt count the people who let slip that their family are connected to ballyfermot or Joe's own family in some oblique way.

Even when Joe was starting out as a minion to Gaybo, he was at that. He did an outside broadcast outside a house where a relative was being evicted, telling de wurrld how unjust it was.

No conflict of interest there at all at all so to speak as they say.....

Gods Gift

Aonghus left bosco after been caught peeing in a plant in his office.

Or maybe I’m mixing him up with a different producer.

I took a couple of chopper lessons, they are tricky and require extreme finesse in handling. Could have hacked it with the right amount of money and of course with the correct eyesight & medical requirements. During the atifer far too many people bought and wrecked helicopters, commonly hitting the boom by trying to manoeuvre in spaces far too tight. And even then very many people couldn’t afford to run anything bigger than a Robinson 22, the most tricky little chopper to fly in the world. Choppers are really really good fun to fly if you are suited to it, and very many people simply do not have the care and finesse required to operate them. They are all about what you don’t do, and how you respond to temain master of the controls. You literally fly them with your fingertips and your mind.

O'Riordan makes me sick. If having people of different races was such a big deal for him why didn't he step aside at the last election and let somebody else from a minority group run for his part? in fact how is he happy to sit in the place if looking around at all those white men gives him such a problem. Surely he is part of the problem then?

Suggesting putting a few different faces in the Seanad is the ideal solution for him - he gets to virtue signal to everybody and give a pious speech in front of the nation, and it's no skin off his nose as it doesnt affect him or his wages at all.
