Liveline: "I'm down in the hood, I'm on tik-tok" sez Joe

golondrinas

Well done the woman saying they are soldiers!! 💪

littlevillage

This lady speaks sense.

Bad line, bad line.. incoming.

Atlantic Dawn

If the calls home are monitored you would have to use de codewurds for certain things.

Tow

Joe getting very narked.

squonk

Joe’s getting shirty. Doesn’t like being told he’s wrong.

Heckler

Gold incoming.

littlevillage

Might need a few peacekeepers on de LiveLine today

NeinNeinNein

Your man would probably prefer to be in a bunker over there than at home listening to angry mammy.

Arghus

Getting close to gold here.

dvcireland

Paging Jeff2, Gold

LambshankRedemption

Wasn't expecting this entertainment on this topic.

Fighting is not good for morale, from the horse's mouth

Joe is now the champion of the army after moving on from the carers. Aras an Uachtarain, here he comes!

They cowld hungry and horny in a hole in the ground in a forrin country caller.

Hit the record button

Arghus

Hang on, hang on says Joe, I'm not finished soapboxing.

He's definitely rounding all the bases.

Heckler

Jesus he really is a dope.

dvcireland

Is this Robbie Martin's sista

ShagNastii

These two women. I know exactly what each of their sons are like. The "Mammy" comment is loaded and very true.

FAILSAFE 00

I'd love to send Joe to boot camp

Atlantic Dawn

Could the gubbermint send over Nathan Carter to play a few tunes for the soldiers in the bunker?

leath_dub

It is intolerable sending soldiers to somewhere they might be shot at

Heckler

They signed up exactly !! Take them out when its dangerous and put them back when its safe FFS What an idiot.

Atlantic Dawn

Joe freaked, keep it coming 😂

NeinNeinNein

You mean they scab during strikes, Fathead?

leath_dub

Joe: "Who's first to be called when a fire goes out of control in a forest? The army"

Not the fibre-gade, Joe?

Arghus

Joe absolutely not letting this call get a word in.

littlevillage

Joe we are all sitting with our heads in our hands..... , you ignorant pr1ck.

Go Joanne.... tell it like it is...

LambshankRedemption

We are watching the birth of a new sport - Joe Baiting.

I'm very much enjoying it.

The Israelis are considering it.

Arghus

Amazing how he's just raving over both callers now.

Tow

Joe cut dat short all of de sudden. Did the RTE legal department arrive into Studio 7?

LambshankRedemption

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122680211#Comment_122680211

I'm pretty sure that goes against the convention on Human Rights.

sligeach

Do some of these family members only want them to be soldiers when there's no danger to their lives? That's not much of a soldier then.

It's very rare that an Irish soldier is killed. That unfortunate young Irish soldier who died a year ago was as a result of mistakes.

No, it was Joanne standing up to him. You can't be doing that!

leath_dub

This woman is telling her story and Joe cuts her off, without a hint of irony because: "I really want this to be heard"

NeinNeinNein

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122680230#Comment_122680230

Back to faux concern for carers now, that's his level.

LambshankRedemption

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122680241#Comment_122680241

To Joe, irony is a bit like steely, silvery and brassy.

littlevillage

Joe is now in a bunker full of (freeze dried) humble pie.... after getting his ass handed to him by Joanne

Swift break and change of topic.

dvcireland

Interesting events back in Two One Four in the Gola Heights

Atlantic Dawn

Surprised Joe isn't covering the Odyssey cruise ship at anchor the last 3 days off Belfast, a problem with paperwurk now apparently.

BPKS

I had to pull in the car after listening to the last "debate" about the Army.

2 things to say

Joanne- TYFYS

Joe - you are an ignoramus. You talked about the mandate of the Army in the Lebanon. You would want to "check" your own mandate. Your mandate isn't to take sides in a debate between two callers, and attack and shout at a caller because they have a different viewpoint to yourself.

Atlantic Dawn

RTÉ got a proper jackpot budget.

McDermotX

Terrible

Some people getting rightly fcuked over in loife

NeinNeinNein

Licking his wounds now, barely listening to the callers.

You dont get into the Aras by meandering musings on a maritime matter. Particularly one in another jurisdiction.

Shure aren't all parents / guardians carers

sligeach

Richard: "Good evening."

Richard calling from a different time zone, maybe even a different year or planet.

Jokes aside, that's tough on him(coming up on 80), caring for his wife with no help from the State, due to some incorrectly filled in forms. And he has to go through it every year. I doubt his situation has changed drastically since.

Atlantic Dawn

The amount of government resources wasted by form filling to apply for things is insane.
