You think the ads are nuts, wait til you hear about the NRA.

He looks really good for 50 in fairness. Golf is such a head melt sport, you'd wonder how that at least hasn't put 40 years on him alone.

Man, I'd love a game of snooker. And about 8 pints.

In that order hopefully 😂

You can actually have an ad saying the sky is red once you hace a disclaimer saying it may be blue.

I like Paddy H I must say. He's a bit on some sort of spectrum, but he's really interesting when you listen to him as he doesn't hold anything back. The lads on Off the Ball love him as he will come on and answer every question they ask without hesitation.

In an era of sports stars being media trained to within an inch of their life, it's refreshing to have a lad who says what he thinks.

"Catch all cancers early and they are treatable"

Says Padraig during a time when all cancer scans are put on the long finger in lieu of COVID?

Doesn't bother people in his demographic.

Yeah, I love it, but I'm just not able for the sheer unadulterated rage that goes with a good round being destroyed by a couple of missed putts.

Not one for the mental strength, me.

Didn’t he do the voice of telecom eireann’s talking clock?

Ol' Donie

Really, I missed the start of that Harrington interview. Did they mention the biggest golf tournament in the world is being played literally right now?

It's always Van De Velde I think about Donie.

"After Carnoustie, Jean wasn’t the same person. He had changed’"

It's almost preferable being useless at all sports (i.e. me) than having something like that happen to you.

What a fecking insane concept when you think of it.....was it designed for blind people or something?
Or was it so people could get the right time when changing their clocks in March and October??

generalgerry

I worry for Daniel at this point.

A hybrid Dublin/Midlands accent.

"Forever home", ffs, how I hate that term, same idiots would have candy carts and photo booths at their weddings.

9,000 people a year die from cancer in Ireland, I thought the figure would be much higher like 100k or so.

No, 100K is the amount of people that die from COVID, if you listen to RTE.

She is speaking well all the same, for someone who presumably does not do this sort of thing all the time she is doing very well.

Can’t get rid of that dub in her
The dialect still there

Was it for people trying to catch trains boats or planes who feared all the timepieces in their home had failed

I find people with a thick Dublin accent come across less intelligent

I literally just turned it on the RTE player and she's talking and I'm thinking "Jesus, is this another Cancer/death story"?

I'm only back living in Ireland a few years and I don't watch the LL show but anytime I do is it all just cancer and depressing **** on a Fri eve?

I have no clue who Daniel is... or her.

I'm presuming it's just the bog standard weekend 'entertainment' from RTE and I'm expected to pay for a new TV licence to listen to Cancer/Covid/depressing stuff every weekend?

A socky that changed history :P

Macdarack

I've got it, finally. Ryan has taken the "late late" part in the title of the show in a different literal meaning of" late at night "I think.

His is so near to putting nipple clamps on and saying sure, sure

Tubridy is just going to use this again to justify the people who told him some home truths when he had the Twitter account.

Speaking of less intelligent Dubs with annoying accents, I see that annoying pj gallagher has been axed from 4fms morning show. What a burner.

That's weird- probably goes to show it takes humans to put push out even pre-recorded shows, assuming all these staff are re-assigned to "London Bridge" duties or whatever the code word is for the death of Philip.

Thanks. I've decided to go back to where I came back from in the coming months.

Who is 'Daniel'?

Edited to say: I am presuming from end that she lost her husband to esophageal cancer?
My bother in law sadly did same last June.

take everything

She seems lovely.

Buddy Bubs

Nice lady, strong character

She's a really lovely woman, but Ryan's aul kindness schtick grates because of the monotony of it.

Lots of the output today was just repeat after repeat, they would have been better to have focused in on the flag flying above Buckingham Palace for 6 hours.
