Liveline thread

Joe is in good form here:

“You’re taking money off young families with kids”

“The Santa experience should not be played with, messed with or contaminated for kids”

“The Christmas experience should not be messed with

“We drove up from Leitrim hoping for a once in a lifetime experience for the kids, it was a once in a lifetime experience, I never want to go through anything like that again”

“They let too many people in”

“There was no reindeers”

“What are you gonna do about it Jamie?”

Sounds like it could have been a Hillsborough type situation.

“THAT WAS NOT A TOY SHOW”

Paul the magician from the RDS Toy Show speaks. “What do people expect when they turn up to these shows? Do they think they’re going to be going around Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory?”

A liveline classic today. Jaysus Joe made sure everyone knew that Santa at the toy show in the RDS was Santa’s helper and that the toy show in the rds was nothing to do with the one and only Toy show on rte. :slight_smile: I had visions of bad santa. Another classic was the two women fighting on the way in because one ran into the other one with her kids pram. That Jamie guy didn’t stand a chance.

Gutted I missed that - sounds like a classic.

Today - a puppy isn’t just for Christmas, it’s for life, and your favourite memories of Kim Jong Il.

Walter says that North Korea reminded him of Ireland in the 50s and 60s, a very military regime.

Walter has happy memories of North Korea as he won a couple of medals in a martial arts competition there in 2007.

Grand Master Robert Howard sharing his memories of martial arts on the Late Late Show in the 1970s. Robet broke his hand smashing a tile live in studio but showed no pain. What a man.

I think I’ve heard Walter on the radio before. He’s not the most insightful or articulate interviewee.

Coming late to today’s edition but it sounds like a tremendous barney between meat eaters and vegans. From what I can gather, Rachel Allen is getting it with both barrels from the animal rights enthusiasts for apparently posing for a photograph with dead pheasants that she had shot.

Which is the greater crime against the planet.

The dead pheasants or the Q7. Or the Allen dynasty generally?

Too quick on the draw for me there Runty.

I always did say people who hunted were deviants and that it was a disease comparable to paedophilia. The Allen connection sums this up.

Joe Duffy seething on Liveline as Dr. Herrema defending his IRA kidnappers.

That ah boy Donal.

Fuck you Joe.

“The queen of death”

Donal is cleaning house here. :lol:

The reaction from West Brit callers to Donal should be apoplectic.

The Herald had an article saying that Audi ( for whom Allen is a brand ambassador) must be disgusted that their vehicle is featured in this photo. I think the people in Dublin sometimes forget that these jeeps arent just for dropping the kids to school in.

Shocking moderating from Joe on Liveline today.
