I think he's saying the strong current was the big problem.

" Standing on de wings of angels" sounds like a thread title.

No disrespect to the importance of the topics being discussed but is this the week everyone is trying to have their 15 mins of fame

worst story ever

NIMAN

Katie has gone way down in my estimation, to say "wow" when he said he must have been standing on the wings of angels, and that imaginary boulders appeared to save him .

And to summarise the last 2 days, if I get into danger swimming I'll always be rescued?

Maybe •tomorrow• the topic which my cousin emailed in with, the subject of her 90 year old mother, my aunt, in hospital without due basic attention (due to lack of visitation and apparent lack of staff) will be covered, as it was mentioned in the promo today.

I think I will start an online course in "How not to sound boring on de radio".

Imagine the number of people he's been boring to death in his taxi, down the decades, with that nonsense.

yeah i was thinking he's probably a taxi driver and told this story countless times...he had the tale polished and it was good at one stage for maybe a month but he kept on fixing it to get it perfect and he ends up with that garbled mess

The two mothers of the kids who got into trouble in the water really annoyed me earlier.

They blamed everybody and failed to look in the mirror.

The facts are that they went to a beach they didn't have local knowledge of where there was no lifeguard on duty.

They allowed their children to go into the water on their own while they sat above on the beach.

But everybody else was to blame.

The council were to blame cos they didn't see the warning signs. The council have now said they will put up additional signage (I await the call to Liveline in a few months giving out about the plethora of yellow and black warning signs ruining scenic areas around the country - Joe will agree that its a disgrace).

The council were to blame cos there was no lifeguards on duty - fair enough, given the weather they should have had the resources allocated.

The council were to blame cos there was no red flag flying. The woman doesn't realise that the red flag means there ARE lifeguards are on duty but it is NOT safe to swim.

Tis a prevalent enough thought process in this country, blame everyone but yersel, a symptom of the creeping infantilisation of many of the citizens of the new Republic... An awful shortage of mirrors here

It seems a common trait of LL to mention subjects in the promos, then never cover them in the show itself.

Oddly, she never said why he and her partner /hubby/ boyfriend legged it asap, and not a word of thanks at the time.
Today's call was to make up for that and not shed too much light on their behaviour immediately after the event.

Today...

My aunt's story (the 90 year old mentioned on yesterday's promo-I wrote the email) that prompted more calls about elderly in hospitals.

Buzzzzzzards

Something else.

Losty Dublin

On todays Liveline with Katie....

• Not being let visit close family in hospital. Katie is adamant to cover this topic as it was missed last Monday.
  
  
• Revenge of the killer buzzards of Louth. More on this.....
  
  
• Can we fix it? No you can't! A builder needs his Safepass but he can't get to renew it.
  
  
• Rude people on the buses; what's going on?

All on board from 1:45. Leap and Golden passes accepted.

NIMAN

And the story of the thousands who came from mayo and Donegal to march in the capital yesterday is neatly forgotten and brushed under the carpet.

But sure when there are bigger stories to cover ......

I was appalled looking at it on Primetime last night, heartbreaking.

Incredible woman and her husband seems likewise.

At least they have been looking after him properly, it seems.

They're fecked now anyway because even if they did cover it, they'd get an earful from every caller for ignoring it for so long.

They don't look after basic needs in hospital.

back to business here

Dan Jaman

Unfair? FFS, Joe did all this shyt-stirring months ago.

2smiggy

if he has had covid in the last few months , why not left in to see him ?

maybe to do with other patients in the hospital not wanting to catch it and die from the various visitors

Caller got covid so he sent his family to see the uncle who then mysteriously got covid

If you are in hospital and don't have an advocate who can keep an eye on you, you are fcuked. The staff won't help you communicate, they won't wash you, help to to the toilet, feed you, give you tea.

It's a mystery, sure enough.
