    VPN's not heard of on tonights panel.

    I'd love to see how age verification for porn would work.... or how many adults would willingly link their verified ID to their porn watching habits



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,701 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Katie and the panel seem to think eyery female porn star is forced into it, they earn many times more what the men make.

    Had to laugh when she was standing there and the teacher started off about blowjobs.

    As for Peader he is the same age as myself but he was sounding like some guy from the 1950s, does he really think we are going to be able to stop young people who grew up using the internet finding porn if they want to look at it.

    They need to get a different set pretty quickly.

    Having Hannon stuck in the middle with the panel is awkward looking, hands appearing in shots and all scrunched together.

    When she gets up to talk to the audience she has to walk around the back of the panel with a set of cue cards.

    She needs to be at the side with more space between her and the panel, take a look at the VMTV set for the Tonight show or whatever they call it.

    Much better and much more professional looking.

    Needs more props!





  • Cawlurs, wave to me tonight in d’audience… tonight’s subject: Anti-social behaviour.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,799 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    Are you going to have a speaking role.

    Let us know please… maybe do a stage invasion?





  • Don’t know about a speaking role, these are usually by “chosen people” to ensure a complete unknown doesn’t stray too far off script.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,799 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    How will we know you!

    We need an interloper to fork up the cozy discussion.

    Could you let a fart or something.?

  • I’ll bring Joe Duffy beside me, he lets out plenty of noise. I have blond hair, glasses, silver pearl necklace, black top, tan fake leather jacket.

    Nice to put a face to the name. Enjoy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,799 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    Well done, enjoy the show.





  • Front seat!

    The number 1 task that's needed to get a handle on car thefts and joyriding is to make it law that every single car imported in to the country has to have an immobiliser fitted to pass their first NCT so it can't be robbed with a lollypop stick.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,278 ✭✭✭Oops!


    That will sort nothing....

    Joe Duffy could have been on the panel as a Ballyfermotee.

    Perhaps a Haynes style manual on how to look after a child should be given to parents in deprived areas.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,554 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    Where we those clips of the young lads on their motorbikes in broad daylight?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,381 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    Yes, the key to cutting out anti social scummy behavior is convincing everyone to stay indoors and listen to podcasts. But there will be carnage inside many houses.

    Ballyfermot on their way to a graveyard for a funeral.

    You need to go in with a zero tolerance approach and seize every scrambler and quad bike not operating on private ground.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,554 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    It's following the same trend as to what happened with some of the funeral gatherings in Tallaght. No surprises there so.

    I think that recent clip of the young lads ganging up on the Gardaí at that bus stop in Ballyfermot during the week could come up there after the ad break.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,139 ✭✭✭Mervyn Skidmore


    Yes it's the gardai that are the problem.

    Yes it seemed to have kicked off at a few of the early gangland funerals some years back where a sporty legal motorbike or 2 escorted the hearse with a few wheelspins, now it's descended in to Mad Max style mayhem.

    I actually miss Claire Byrne live. She was almost comedy during COVID.

    The Irish pub from fair city, the hairdresser in a box. That Luke O'Neill clownacting every couple of weeks. It was almost an accidental piss take of the COVID nonsense while thinking they are being serious.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,139 ✭✭✭Mervyn Skidmore


    The main problem is that the gardai are way too light touch.

    It's a better format just having the 1 topic for the show each week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,139 ✭✭✭Mervyn Skidmore


    Some clowns on this programme. Walsh saying there's antisocial behaviour because gardai aren't providing an adequate service and the other lad saying that Gardai were seen an occupying force apparently lol. What planet are they on?





  • There were a lot of people contradicting themselves in the studio. However I heard people around me saying stuff that they weren’t willing to say in camera, and that was that people have be one laissez faire in accepting the behaviour as normal and acceptable, everyone being afraid to stick head above parapet for fear of being shot down, so everyone just keeps relatively quiet about it and avoids as much as possible places where antisocial behaviour most often happens.





  • They were saying that the show is very much in its infancy and they are discovering by mistakes all the time, and admit they have got thing wrong and and happy to receive negative feedback.

  • I think she’d make a kind of interesting brand of LLS host. I sat in the audience of her TV show 3 tines and she was always very good humoured with the audience. Katie a tad more uptight, but she made a joke about my fake leather jacket which the director asked to be taken out of sight, she asked did I have loads of money in it 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,845 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    Seems to be only the last twenty minutes on the player? 🤔



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,144 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    It might have been sh1t, but CB got a 100k pay rise over the last few years, so she did something right.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,232 ✭✭✭waterwelly


    Very true. She would be natural at the valentine's or Eurovision specials. Not that I watch them thankfully but she'd be comfortable with that rubbish.

    But I could actually watch her show, she was up for making a fool out of herself like broadcasting from the garden shed.

    I hate how everyone is too afraid to be straight out for fear of being accused of being classist or racist or whatever.

    When the question was asked about whether parents should be held accountable in terms of fines etc for their feral kids, it's like they all deflect away and say it's not the right approach.

    Parents should know where their kids are and if they don't it's bad parenting. No offence to the norry lad but the excuse that parents are too focused on paying rent, food etc. just doesn't cut it. Most of these I would bet are from social housing and even if they weren't, lots of people go through many things. If a business owner goes to the wall or can't find staff, they still have obligations. They have to pay tax, pay staff etc. There's no excuses.

  • I have strong opinions on this too, as one of the speakers mentioned last night carrot and stick approach is best, incentives for positive behaviour, deterrents against bad behaviour. The thing is human beings can have an inclination to be antisocial as much as social, for the sake of it, for the bravado and to serve one’s own self-centred needs. Antisocial families find their own brand of camaraderie in being oppositional and antisocial. It just shouldn’t be accepted.

    I worked for years in Dolphin’s Barn/Crumlin area, which was mixed old working class, new buyers, old middle class, some Protestant, off SCR. Always has been a diverse area, a lot of Jewish people and immigrants have lived there for a long time. What I saw happening was that a lot of the working class people went back to education, parenting classes, they developed ambition. People who couldn’t read or write went on to do further education. A lot of children from working class families went on to college.

    Many other districts are way too ghettoised, and the ambition among a cohort is to be a big noise in the criminal world.

    They must have been badly stuck to have to bring Smith on it, although she isn't as popular with her constituents as she used to be by not supporting the protests.

    The copper was having none of it when Hannon tried to suggest it was the Guards who were the problem.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,799 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    Yes noticed that, her name escapes me but was impressive as was in fairness the Senator lady, Chambers was it?

    Hannon very jumpy, not relaxed and in control, hands everywhere and the general audience seemed to have been drugged…( not recode though who seemed nice and alert )

    Aah got the name now Antoinette Cunningham… no nonsense performer when Hannon tried to blame the keystones for everything.

    Set needs changing ,Hannon has to lean away from everyone one the panel as if they had bad breath .

    Needs to keep her head straight, not sitting on her left shoulder.


    Lot of work needed….. lot of work.



  • Registered Users Posts: 827 ✭✭✭farmingquestion


    She seems very nervous. Lacks a bit of confidence at the moment.

    The intros go on far too long, it's worse than the Chase. The music playing while Katie speaks and the guest staring at the camera.





  • I completely disagree with many of Bríd’s politics, and I know a lot more of them froN decades back, one thing I have to say as my first ever Co-worker in the libraries, she was the hardest working public servant I ever came across, totally dedicated to public service.





  • Another thing about Bríd she was always very selfless, it was always you or anyone else she would assist ahead of herself. And I totally disagreed with a vote amount of what she came out with.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,105 ✭✭✭trashcan


    Maybe it should be Renamed Uptight with Katie Hannon ? 😉

    That guy that had his mortgage go up €600 a month is getting hammered by his lender.

    Mine has gone up as well due to the ECB interest hikes but something needs to be done to help people like him.



  • Registered Users Posts: 827 ✭✭✭farmingquestion


    Didn't see it, what was the story?

    It went up 600 euro, in reference to what?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,701 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    He was in the audience saying how he was a former PTSB mortgage holder who had it sold on to a vulture fund and they hiked his repayments up by €600 a month.

    This was part of a general disucssion about the interest rate increases over the last few months.
