In the context of autism, I think you are either verbal or not.

Not joking, the last time I was at a doctor was 1979. I had to visit casualty in 1995 alright. I wouldn't have bothered except that my blood was spurting all over the customers every time I tried to pull the broken bottle out of my hand so to speak.
I've a high pain threshold so I just sit out any aches, pains, colds etc until they right themselves.
Shoulder seems to be improving anyway. I carried two bags of shopping home from Lidl without too much discomfort. Still stings if I reach above my body though.

From the UK Daily Telegraph...

Biden's great, great, great grandfather, Edward Blewitt, left Ballina, co Mayo, Ireland for America during the Irish famine 170 years ago, which could mean he is well disposed towards Great Britain

Really? Are they so blind and deaf they've failed to appreciate how vile and horrible that must have been for his family at the time?
Utterly priceless.

:eek: Typical! It's the serious less painful stuff dat needs de attention as often as not. Men too often arrive to a position where they are ill beyond help. Eg, after 40, prostate hormone should be measured every year or two. In fact once a person has reached 35 bloods should generally be checked every two years. So much bad stuff is preventable.

Da figures are out
https://www.rte.ie/news/2021/0120/1190981-rte-on-air-earners/

Duffy dropped 12.5k between 2018 and 2019
The top 3 probably the worst presenters on radio and tv, exc Darcy only with Zig and Zag and Dustin

Crazy too that Marian Finucane was on over €350,000 even though most people agreed she had gotten progressively worse over the years.

Claire Byrne will be on €300,000 or more after taking over from Sean O'Rourke and she's not very good at it.

Insane money when you think about it. They should be given €200,000 max or told to fup off to the UK.

Tubridys wages going up every year...ffs...

What kind of money would Pat Kenny be on at Newstalk?

2smiggy

Marian Finucane had some number going in fairness !!

I'd prefer to wait till they release the 2020 amounts to see if they actually dropped the pay by 15% !!

Just reading in Av Herald a report of a near air disaster at Prague airport involving an Irish air freighter which came onto de runway just as another aircraft was moments from touch down at same point, in spite of being instructed to hold short on taxiway. Fortunately ATC had their eagle eyes on the runway & instructed the other to go around immediately. Dat would have dominated de news here.

To be honest, I don't care how much an employee of a private sector company is paid in this context.

The real problem with the pay for Tubridy, Duffy, Darcy, Finucane, et al is that we all pony up for it.

To release those numbers today, in an attempt to bury bad news is truly, truly shameful.

Should be out in 2024 if they keep this up.

George Hamilton the best of them all. 2 weekend gigs on Lyric with local radio levels of listener numbers and occasional football commentary when RTE have a match to broadcast.

All for an unbeatable 190,000 YoYos plus.

Madness.

Expunge

If Hamilton has dropped out of the top 10 on 192,000, can you imagine some of the fees paid to some of the cheerfully useless ****ers from number 11 to 40 on the list?

Yeah. As my jaw continued to drop further and further, I think seeing George Hamilton getting 190k was the most ridiculous. it was a lot when he was doing commentary all the time, but I don't hear him on anything nowadays.
