That's it ! everybody in RTE should be executed forthwith

Madness, we are a nation of diverse accents that will change every 10 miles. I do enjoy translating for people from ulster and carkies.

Corrected.

Absolute clusterfuck of a Mourning Ireland this morning. Couldn’t get anyone on the line. Now we have Craig Earlham from Awanda brokers on the line. Craig, Craig………Sorry we don’t have Craig on the line.
Now we have Craig. Craig, Craig ……No we can’t get Craig.

Now we’ll go to Lynsey from Channel 4 who is in Ukraine.

Lynsey ……… Sorry we can’t get Lynsey. Hello hello I’m in a car ……Ah Lynsey what is it like where you are in Ukraine………………We’ve lost Lynsey.

Plus what’s the deal with the “experts” they get in from the UK. This morning they had “Dr Ruth” from Kings College in London to talk about the economic impact of sanctions. Dr Ruth’s point seemed to be that wars are expensive (when the bag of nerves could spit out a sentence). I’ve read a few Max Hastings books, I could have told them that.

God be with the days when they had a queue of C-19 experts ready to share their knowledge at the drop of a face mask.

This amateur shit grinds on me. Sunday Sport every week has such issues.

TV analysis of a match is another. ‘Can we get that clip back? No we can’t’.

It’s embarrassing.

Jesus the cranks are out today, the bad weather and impending doom will do that

I wonder did the horse contribute to the show itself?

Meanwhile yesterday, Mourning Ireland was so bad I switched on Newstalk. They had John Fitzgerald of the ESRI on. John was explaining how we shouldn’t cut taxes on fuel as we’d need all that tax to pay for Ukrainian refugees. John finished up.

Shane. I love listening to John Fitzgerald- he’s so wise
Ciara. I could listen to him all day.

This is John Fitzgerald the economist who completely missed the banking collapse.

There was dead air of I would say easily 20 seconds after the second question from Audrey.

Fitzgerald is a gombeen.

Very straightforward and simple analysis from John there. A equals B. So much so it convinced the two newstalk presenters anyway.

Pat Kenny had a dinger a while back talking about EU criticism of Ireland’s data protection regulation. “Should Ireland be the data protection policeman for all of Europe? And of course, Ireland doesn’t have the resources to do this anyway.” Pat didn’t seem to see any connection between the resources needed to monitor the multinationals and the income Ireland derives from those same multinationals.

Lottie giving RTÉ an ultimatum.

They need to tie her down before a bidding war ensues.

The enthusiasm she throws into reading the entertainment news and twitter and Tik tok spats has to be heard to be believed

Today FM could swoop in and sign her on a pre-contract agreement. Couldn’t see her moving to one of the smaller regional stations.
