I was into Cast awhile before I copped John Power had been in the La’s 🫣 As long as he sang Fine Time I was happy.

Not when I saw them last year.

Once I saw that comment below the podcast I knew I wouldn’t be listening. An awful lot of people in Ireland were told they should “move on” or “why are you only bringing this up after x number of years”. It shows Rory’s vast ignorance regarding the subject of SA

I didn’t listen to that episode but looking at the comments beneath it at the time , it was more whataboutery rather than directly exonerating him.

Looking forward to seeing Eternity. The talent for great writing didn’t stop with you. Wishing David all the best

Im one of the many non British people who listen to The Rest is Politics as I appreciate their take on global politics while mor always agreeing. Rory Stewart has a blind spot when it comes it the British Elite, he managed it better before but its shining through over the last few months.

Poor kids should be brought over to #TheLateLateToyShow in Ireland next year to make up for suffering through this

He has a brilliant way with them and theres no rushing. I was sweating that the toy dog bit wouldn’t work (was having flashbacks as they rarely did for poor Gaybo) but he got it there in the end 😅
My 15 yo still prefers Ryan but thats nostalgia I told her

Agree with you - though I did let out a scream
when both Roy and CMAT showed up. The last couple of years its been all about the kids as it should be.

Saving him for next year after we win 😉🏆

Started me off again - what a beautiful, simple tribute

Yes but even before Musk there was snide/mean comments when following it on Twitter. Much more positive experience here (despite the odd anti-Cork dig)

Roy Keane helping a kid with Tourette's suspended in the air to grab toys for children in hospital. I fucking love this country #LateLateToyShow

Have that edition of Rain in the Wind on my shelves along with a few others of his and a number of Frank O Connor collections that an uncle passed on to me in my teens. Must take them down again

Its not part of the EU but is in the CE and EEA. Definitely politically part of Europe if not 100% geographically

Well its great they wont be losing money then isnt it.

It would be far more hypocritical for RTE to show it the Eurovision. If people want to watch it thats their choice. Theres lots of options not just BBC.

One of my cousins gave me a mixtape when I stayed with them in London in 1990 . It had everything from The Pixies to The Sundays and The House of Love on it. I was just finished my first year of college and it had a huge influence on my taste in music.

Not what this is about.

I read it when it came out and I was shook after it. I think Id be worse now. So well written

This revived interest in skipping for awhile in Cork in the early 80s - didnt last long as we were all shite. Didnt know what to make of Malcolm at 11 or 12 but he definitely made the charts a bit more interesting.

Pat Butler- he was originally on Youngline with Conor McNally back in the days when we were in one channel land in Cork. Neighbours lost good jobs in Fords and Dunlops. I was young enough to not have the worries adults had but old enough not to swallow some of the nostalgia around for those days.

I went to primary school with the interviewer’s daughter at that time & we used be v proud in our class when he was on the telly. They moved to Dublin not long after. Very grateful my Dad stayed working through the 80s though in a job he hated. Tough times.

Spéir is a feminine noun so the adjective takes a séimhiú (h)

Wow.

Same. Made me catch my breath

I was rolling my eyes at my teenage girl for blaring her Christmas playlist earlier but maybe its time - Ill have to take a listen

Ah my favourite Christmas album but its this one I love (or Hey guys! Its Christmas time if Im feeling less wistful) youtu.be/XpK-w6_FpY8?...

Sting of a dying wasp. They are shameless

Boys get it in Ireland since 2019. Uptake overall is a bit below the recommended 80% but news like this from Australia might encourage some to rethink their stance
