Hey snowflake, I already told you that I fell like that twice this year , the first time was in January and I was almost knocked out & in front of my work colleagues, I still have problems with my shoulder. Do I think it's funny? Absolutely! Maybe it's just the way I'm wired. You must feel deeply disturbing when watching "you've been framed:

What difference does it make that it was in front of your work colleagues. Did they make fun of you and did your Mommy have to come down and kiss it better?

The clip is hilarious.

Your the one getting hot and bothered here about someone else's opinion , I'm not sure why you are using the term snowflake when it is actually yourself that is getting in a stew over someone else offering a different point of view.

So if I didn't find any given comedians stand up funny, does that actually make me a snowflake or just someone looking at it from a different perspective? If I had asked for it to be banned on the other hand you'd have every right to call me a snowflake except I haven't done that so your use of the term is out of context but head injuries will do that I suppose

People act as though the IMF coming in was some tragedy. I wish they were permanently running the place. Would protect the country from the lefty populism like the Greens suggestion today of increasing the dole by €50 per week. Sure that's just what this country needs, more handouts for the welfare class!

A technocracy run with taxpayer value for money in mind is the ideal form of government.

I'm not a slowflake in the slightest but do not find that fall funny at all. He could have been seriously hurt. I'm sure this guy didn't or still wants the whole country laughing at his dangerous fall.

I just don't get why folk find it funny.

Calling people snowflakes for holding that opinion is so childish.

How to try win an argument in 2021. if you don't agree with someones opinion, tar them with a slur

The ridiculous tv3 version " don' look back in anger" constantly got the music wrong, ie a year previous or after. Very frustrating

This episode of RITY did make one mistake. Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" wasn't released until 2011.

After Irish people fighting so hard for our independence, 90 years earlier, I can fully understand the sheer frustration at our financial sovereignty just being handed over (granted we had gone to the point of no return in terms of the mess our economy was in).

I agree on your point on the left, and it seems we have proved we are not fit to run ourselves since our independence, but I don't know how unelected bureaucrats from across the world are going to meet the needs of the Irish tax payer. In fairness, I did like Chopra from the IMF. I always got a sense from him that he didn't like the austerity that was about to happen the country.

They did a follow up

Not actually him.

Edit to add: I think most of us took a wallop on the ice that year. He got up and brushed it off.

Remember Mario Rosenstock doing comical impressions of Constantin as a Blofeld cat-lover, and a very crumpled Vincent Browne?

Barry Murphys impression on apres match around that time is the best Vincent Browne by a mile

Truly hope they include Vincent Browne's storming of Gorse Hill in the 2015 episode!

Great clip of your man falling. Happened to me walking the dog earlier in the year. As far as I know I got away with it and nobody saw!

Or maybe someone recorded it and you'll be on the 2021 edition of RITY in 2031.

Indeed! The pedant in me wanted to point it out earlier but I let it go. I guess in their defence it was released for radio play in December 2010, but it's still wasn't officially released until 2011.

43000 'Ghost' housing units in 2010 and just a few years later we are in a fully-fledged housing crisis......how on earth has this happened?? What happened to the ghost estates?

Ah its sorted don't worry. She ran out of insults and straw man arguments.. She's probably cooling off somewhere

Apple's device unveiling seemed to be very cult-like events. Granted probably a lot of shareholders in the room who were seeing dollar signs flashing

They were wrong on the England v Germany score. It was 4-1 Germany. RITY said 5-1. Christ that's a quick google search and yet they managed to release the program without rectifying :rolleyes:

It's madness how they got the go-ahead to begin with. If you or I, tried to start a business in the morning, we'd have to have an in-depth Business plan.
Even then we would have to prove that what we weren't doing was lunacy. That it was sound and would see an eventual return on investment. These developers were handed money like giving smarties to a child. It's still mind-boggling all these years later.

I genuinely find it disturbing how people find that clip so amusing. That was a nasty, nasty fall. Could have been killed instantly.

Couldn't agree more. And while we're at it.

I think it was disrespectful to show the nasty nasty Haitian earthquake. So many people killed. That might have upset some survivors to make them relive the event.

And that economic collapse was nasty nasty. Lots of people were suicidal at that time. It would have been triggering to relive it.

And the Rubberbandits song. That recalls a nasty nasty time of discrimination for the travelling community. People shouldn't be laughing at that.

And the Chilean miners. That was a nasty nasty accident. They could have all been killed instantly. We shouldn't really force them to watch that again.

And Gerry Ryan passing. Dying alone is a nasty nasty way to go. A lot of people are still very upset over that. It really shouldn't have been shown.

And that icelandic volcano was a nasty nasty situation for the people of iceland. If it was a bigger eruption they could have been killed instantly.

No they shouldn't have shown any of that nasty nasty stuff and instead just focused on the good news stories like John Delaney opening the Aviv.....oh wait.

I had only heard two of those songs before and one of those was the Rubber Bandits one. No idea who the other artists were. By 2010, either I had gotten old or mainstream music had become rubbish and far less important in popular culture than it used to be.

The music is critical to the impact of the programme.

Also, it seemed to me (may be wrong) that there was more "talking" in this edition. I presume that all or most of the same team produced this edition as produced the previous editions and will have tried to keep the format as consistent as possible - if possible

Another thought I had was that in the modern era of social media, smartphones, 24 hour news channels and being always on, world events might actually be less memorable than the events from the past as everyone is jumping from one thing to the next

I was watching 1982 for the gazillionth time recently - Falklands War, snow, IRA bombs, elections, GUBU, Seamus Darby and TAR-DELLI - some contrast

One was Rihanna & Eminem who are both huge and definitely important to pop culture. Your one from Paramore was there too who were huge at the time.The 60/70/80sones were full of crap music too like Dana and the Nolans or that "My Irish Molly" crap in 82

I do miss the adverts that the whole country would know cause we only had a few channels

2010 had snow, plenty of politics and Tipp stopping a 5 in a row attept from probably the greatest ever hurling team.

Try watch next week while not simultaneously shouting at clouds

Ah yes, they are the exact same thing as finding a man slipping on ice funny :rolleyes:

If you or the other poster had actually bothered to read my post, my exact wording is that I could never understand how people found that incident so amusing. To me it looked a nasty enough fall. One that made me grimace rather than laugh. it was expressing a simple point of view. All of those things on your list were absolutely tragic and of course they were going to be mentioned on the program. I've no issue with anything being featured on the program. I never stated such.

You mention triggered and you're getting yourself in knots over what??? Someone saying they didn't find the man slipping on ice funny??? That they had another perspective??? And yet you think you are the one protecting freedom of expression. The irony is hilarious

I didn`t see the programme last night. Did the Brian Cowen Garglegate saga in 2010 get a mention? I remember it was a big news story at the time.

2011 was a very busy year from an Irish point of view. A lot of events to fit in a 25 minute programme. I would be very surprised if that is featured.

December2012

Do you think Reeling in the Years would be better as an hour long programme? Like they could break it up with retro ads etc, as if they were a read ad break (or before the actual ad break).
