I don't think he's smart enough to realise that he's not universally liked. The man's ego is gargantuan. He likely thinks he could outdebate anyone. Imagine him losing the rag on Primetime Debate and exposing the sneering, snide, bully for the masses? Personally I'd love to see him run and expose himself for the fool he is.

As you've alluded to above though, I think it's the pay cut that would stop him more than anything. Which if you think about it is outrageous. A 6.25 hour a week telephonist makes more in 40 weeks than the Head Of State.

Ah but at this stage in their careers great men begin to ruminate very deeply on their "legacy"

Just on the news at one.

The IT systems for the vaccine programme does not work.

People have to input details by pencil and paper.

Can this be a topic on Liveline?

When we have known since March that a vaccine programme would be needed, why the fcuk was it not done last summer.

This is the responsibility of HSE management who have basically been running the country since last March people.

Why am I not surprised.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Will never forget when a new system was broken g rolled out in Irish libraries. Management went to ground, leaving the lowest of the low, grade 3s to develop the off-the-shelf Californian Berkeley university system and adapt it for use in Irish libraries. No real time support from California, with the time difference. We got dogs' abuse from the public when it was put online on first day opening after Christmas.

I will be some mess if they have to take records by hand. Only thing they have going for them is dealing primarily with 1 vaccine (at the moment)

Some of the records may even be "lost" or "mislaid" down the line

Remember the show Joe dedicated to telling us how great Ivor Callelly was, seemed to revolve on how Joe would see him cycling every day, so he couldn't have been all that bad?

Or am I imagining things?

You weren't imagining at all. Almost an entire show (second one) dedicated to polishing the tarnished reputation of his good friend and neighbour.

I wonder will he ask Bernadette if she knows who her father is?


(Maybe not).

Everyone is 'young' and 'incredible' and every 'time' was 'not that long ago' Joe, we get it.

Was listening yesterday and the missus stood up and went into another room where I found her watching Maura and Daithi ( rerun catch up) asking Terry Prone's advice on how to handle the Covid thing. I kid you not. Does she know someone in RTE. I went back to the radio and switched it off. It only struck me then how bad lifeline really is.

Watched a bit of Maura and Daithi also. A lady was doing 'crafts' who was very familar to me, can't put a name on her.

She was making Birdhouses outta milk cartons, glueing them together with UHU and making bird seed feeders outta plastic bottles.

She had the opening for the birds to eat the seed at the top of the bottle instead of the bottom. The poor birds would need necks like giraffes to reach in for the seed.

Her method would also have the seed going staggy/mouldy at the bottom of the plastic bottle. Not nice for the little birdy's

Del.Monte

Get go - Joe's latest phrase - been watching too many American movies.

Roger_007

This is such patronising shoite!

Omg. I knew of people giving birth as teenagers in 1970s, my mother was discussing them, and how important it was for grandparents to support and allow the young parents to continue studies (which duly happened) and most definitely not to force them to get married but to take their due share in parental responsibility. My own family's attitude was far removed from what I'm hearing on the radio, but maybe middle class folk were like that and that poorer families were forced into the mercy of the church.

1977. Or yesterday as we call it.

Shotgun wedding, or maybe not in these cases

She loved de roide.

Del.Monte

Joe sounded a bit wistful then about the different methods - the three twins perhaps?

Mena Mitty

Condoms may have been illegal Joe but every young fella would be robbing his mothers 'clingfilm' allegedly.

This call is a bit bizarre to be honest.

Caller:"And very nice it was too".
