Liveline thread

Off top of my head

McNamaras gaff already sold by NAMA. Dunnes rented to an embassy at behest of a bank, Paddy Kelly the same. Quinlans sold last year. Don’t know about Gerry gannon. grehan is UK bankrupt so house I’ll go as part of that, normally last asset they sell in the process, as it’s UK bankruptcy it’s subject to UK laws so he doesn’t get same fam home protection that h would if he was bankrupt here, so his lender prob better off with him being bankrupt in uk

Not a bad return. None f hem living in Adamstown mind you

Lucky for Ray Grehan then that he’s still got the €5,000 a week in living expenses.

Caller Michael Rhatigan was arguing a few minutes ago that filming five chefs from the Masterchef programme walking about in Memorial Park in Islandbridge (the show is apparently recorded in the nearby former Clancy Barracks) is an insult to the memory of the victims of the Great War.

what a cunt

Missed nearly all of it but housewives lining up there to complain about Mitchell D. Brown’s non-invitation to carry the Olympic torch. The woman at the end there thought Mitchell was great altogether. “You should have a ten-minute text poll, Joe. I guarantee you she’d come out on top. She was never convicted of anything.”

City had God on their side yesterday, says this female caller.

Roberto Mancini was in Medjugorje recently.

Ah ffs. :rolleyes:

76 year old caller Myra ringing in to say that she believes that yesterday’s events were a miracle too. Her 52 year old son has been a City fan all his life and her late husband Paul was a Liverpool supporter. Myra believes Paul had a hand in the miracle. And so do I. :clap:

Liverpool fan Martin Clancy says that talk of a miracle is disingenuous. Martin believes that that kind of talk devalues City’s Barclays Premier League™ title win, which he believes was purely down to hard work. Martin is delighted for City.

Just hope Sid you will get to feel the joys of a Barclays Premier League™ title win for Liverpool.

80% of Liveline texters are supportive of Mitchell D. Brown carrying the Olympic torch.

A caller on now defending Mitchell and casting aspersions on the motives of Janet Evans.

Mitchell’s father Brian is “a lovely man”.

Some woman from Galway is “very much in favour” of Mitchell.

“Weren’t some of the bottles of urine stolen?”

“No, that was the horse, Cian O’Connor’s horse”.

“Oh”.

The same woman was mixing up Paul McGrath and Paul O’Connell.

She wants the whole of the Irish equestrian team to “carry the torch through the capital”, as well as Sean Treacy. I’m not certain which Sean Treacy she was referring to.

The previous caller then came back on the line to call Janet Evans “a disgrace”.

Sean Treacy.[/quote]

Full Back for Galway in the 90’s. Very gracefull gent… would do an admirable job.

That’s fucking brilliant. For some reason that I can’t quite put my finger on, I find “hamburger” on the highest E flat key to be hilarious.

Ye didn’t think that in 89

Day off work today so I get to enjoy Liveline for once. Still going on about whether or not Rosanna Davidson did or did not complete the Women’s Mini Marathon. I don’t think anyone will be pulling the same trick next year. :lol:

The women’s don’t like cheats. :slight_smile: the Pitchforks are being sharpened. :slight_smile:

do you believe Rosanna, Thraw?

I don’t. She already said she couldn’t have done it in 43 minutes, which is the recorded time for her number. Probably wasn’t the brightest thing to come out with when you’re trying to maintain your innocence.

She sounds like Bertie here:

“The main reason I was there on Monday was to pose for the pre-race pics for the ISPCA. That was what I’d been asked to do and that was my priority,” she said.
Explaining the mix-up which led to her being wrongly labelled a cheat, Ms Davison said: "I had applied for and paid for the race – but due to circumstances beyond my control, I couldn’t get my race number.
"So on Monday, I thought I wouldn’t be able to run as I had no number. I also had a few appointments on that afternoon, so I ended up changing my mind over and over again about whether I would run it.
"Admittedly I was disorganised, but having just moved house and with a lot of college work to get through, I had a million things to do.
“At the last minute, I decided to go ahead with the race. I had to get the number after the race began, so the [color=#009900 ! important]final time and name listed were inaccurate.”
