Did Joe want to do a program like this? Is that his bugbear? Or just an opportunity for another dig at FG?

NK wants to have only presenter on his books doing these gigs

Duffy trying to defend his pals in RTE now having been agreeing with the others giving out about Enda Kenny.

Expunge

This idea that some "artist" down on his or her luck would present it if Enda Kenny turned it down is nonsense.

It would have been Joe or Katherine Thomas or flippin Ray D'Arcy!

Joe's throwing mud on our Gold panning plate today.

Its truly inexplicable to me that they didn't pick Mark to present this programme. Surely he has the perfect balance of charisma and charm for TV.

:rolleyes:

'Everyone deserves their day in the sun'. Do they?

Sounds like a lot of embittered train spotters on.

I wonder does Joe hear the Jaws theme in his head when callers start bringing up people being paid extortionate amounts by a state broadcaster.

No but he hears the squeak of the much overused cut off the caller button.

Or Tubridy... he wants to do something on railways :rolleyes:

No wonder RTE went from losing €20m a year to actually making a profit cos of Covid.

No programmes being made, no sports events to send big crews to, no Eurovision and so on and loads of advertising from the State (and the Ray D'Arcy show)

bottlebrush

Joe could have presented it given his knowledge of model railways

Flukey

Daniel should not have been doing that B & B programme when he's already working servicing boilers.

generalgerry

Tubridy's grandfather.

Duffy interjects his one liners into this statement. Obviously doesn't agree with the content. Didn't happen the other day

That journalist sounds like he studied under John Mooney.

You might get someone off the dole or the PUP payment to do it for you. You'd have to pay above the minimum wage.

Which reminds me, I've never used mine.

This is his a tedious waste of time... what exactly is Joe's agenda?

Except to say he's serving de bogland an dat.

I feel so sorry for ShinAwhil

Not that they have pretty much had RTÉ Sunday night entertainment slot for the past 20 years with one exception which was The All Ireland Talent Show.

You're A Star (amazing... 5 stars Joe Duffy)
Fame (brilliant... 5 stars Joe Duffy)
The Voice (Exuberant .... 5 stars Joe Duffy)

I see you're another to swallow the official CIE/anti-rail lobby spin.

Come on let's talk about Miles Per Hour, Joe and snail pace driving which has become pervasive on Doobalin roads these weeks with people half asleep at de wheel.

Well there's a cliché, an amateur historian complaining that the history on a show is not for him.
