    I remember the big thing being made about the new "kneeling busses".

    It is of zero surprise to me that drivers are being difficult.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,216 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Colm: "What were you holding onto?"

    Bill: "The bars on the bus."

    Did they go round and round , round and round? 😉

    Bus Driver probably worried the ramp will get stuck, and then the whole bus will be stuck.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    So basically some bus drivers are good. Some are sh1te.

    Again, no surprise here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,556 ✭✭✭✭Dan Jaman


    The bustards want more money for operating it, probably.

    "or words to that effect" - is he a former solicitor?

    Someone realising Bill is on air and is shouting in the background.

    Duffoon once oversaw a LL piece which had people painting pictures on the radio.

    That is a very cynical reaction and probably is close to the truth.

    I recommended some network topology changes to CIE a number of years ago. Computer network changes, not changes to routes. I was told, no because the unions would require all staff to get 3 days training in the new design.

    There's a lot of people don't check units used for a proper comparison. I was recently looking back at bills from 10 years ago ( bill nerd 🤓) and noticed although the price had gone up now by 3 times or more the actual unit use was about 10% down, this was despite more power hungry mobile phones, laptops etc to charge but with bigger usage items being replaced over the years with more efficient appliances.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,469 ✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    Well yeah. A 32" LED TV consumes about 30-55 Watts. A 32" CRT would consume 150-200 watts. Add in more efficient technologies in other white goods and consumption for everyone should be down.

    Yes a single traditional light bulb previously used as much as every single CFL light bulb in the house combined.

    I see the jaysus CFL bulbs are being done away with so to speak after me eventually finding that a Philips version gives near identical olden days shade of light, now banned from sale to be replaced with LED.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,993 ✭✭✭squonk


    CFL bulbs were shíte. Back in the day I generally agreed with the drive to phase out incandescent bulbs but CFL wasn’t the viable alternative we were told they were. Horrible light sbd quite dim also. Fairly much the usual bollix of the do gooders deciding it was time for change which suited them but not the population at large. I use LEDs now where possible. Far better and the switch should have happened when they became viable instead.

    Looks like Joe will be back to this topic,when he returns from his well earned breakeen. 500 callers to get through.

    Hope not. The guards are dealing with it. Joe won’t add anything now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 690 ✭✭✭steinbock123


    What can the Guards do about it now? The brothers who beat the shite out of me and my schoolmates all those years ago are now all brown bread (and as Joe Jowl might say, safe in the arms of Our Lady, Queen of Heaven).

    As the lotto ad used to say, if you’re not in you can’t win. I’d imagine a fair few reports are there for documentation purposes in case the government start another redress scheme for this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,469 ✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    Actually a bulb in one of my overhead lights went the other day, I took it out to see what kind it is so I can get another and was surprised to see its a 30w bulb. I would have been certain it was 70-100 such is the bright light it pumps out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,140 ✭✭✭✭zell12


    Yes, but was it a CFL, Incandescent, Led, Halogen, Fluorescent, Diode. We need detail! Bayonet or a screw?

    Needed bulbs recently for the cooker extractor. They are really expensive, so got two in Asda for £2

    Report in the Business Post this morning how just under €1 billion was spent on refugee housing in the first half of 2024. The Apple money will be used in 6 and a half years on accommodating refugees alone at this rate.

    I also see a report that Leo Varadkar has said the rate of immigration in recent years has been too much for Ireland. And of course Simon Harris admits that the housing/accommodation crises is being exacerbated by immigration.

    A year ago, if I had said what Varadkar and Harris are now saying, I would have been accused of racism.

    I wonder what has happened to make them change their minds - anything to do with Opinion Polls and an election?

    Maybe we could get a discussion on this on Liveline?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,309 ✭✭✭Tow


    Is it not the the Government's official policy to increase the countries population via immigration? Are Leo and Simon no longer happy with their own policy?

    Cul'em, Your RTE friends don't seem to realise the 2000 euro rise in the Standard Rate Cut off Point is only worth 400 quid to the higher paid wurker. I would not be jumping up and down about it.

    “It’s 2:25pm and there’s a naked man, he’s just after stripping naked – I don’t know what programme – this is at 2:15pm in the day – there is a naked man, a fine looking man to be honest with you, but hang on, it gets worse.

    “He’s after stripping naked, he takes off his briefs and he holds them up to this woman, they’re in their late 20s and what does she do next, Angela? Brace yourself – she takes out a pair of handcuffs. This is RTE One television at 2:20pm.

    “No wonder Ryan is leaving,” he told listeners.
