[Cornu Ammonis]

RTE are doing great with their French-themed marketing campaign for this show, I'm seeing Je Suis Charlie everywhere.

 

[Bunny]

Its all kicking off again tonight! I'll be watching with a bottle of Blue Nun while drenched with Man of Arran. Like totally 1985!

 

[Jim Daniels]

That was some craic tonight. Mad time in Irish politics those days...

The fucking sword

What a joke of a country we are

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Cracking bit of back and forth on Sean O'Rourke there. I heart Kathy Sheridan biggo.
Arguing on the radio is where it's at!!!!

I only caught the end. One of them wondered how Haughey would have reacted to the bailout and subsequent handing over of the reins to Europe

I can imagine his ego wouldn't have allowed it

That was Kathy. It was her one sop to Mary O'Rourke. "What if we'd had a fascist thug at the wheel with the troika in town?" kind of thing.
The contrast being the milquetoast yes-man that we have currently, I guess.

Charlie would have covered the cost of the bailout from his own pocket. That was the kind of guy he was

I think I gave up on this series after the first episode
Life is too short for fluff

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I dislike it because it gives sympathisers of his this platform to talk about how he was a deeply complex man, rather than just mostly being a cunt.

I actually think the latter comes across to a much greater extent...

Don't know how true this is, but it's very quotable

For centuries, a rite of passage for French gourmets was the eating of the Ortolan. These tiny birds—captured alive, force-fed, then drowned in Armagnac—were roasted whole and eaten that way, bones and all, while the diner draped his head with a linen napkin to preserve the precious aromas and, some believe, to hide from God.

that's pretty much how the scene played out. either it's true or mitterand managed to spectacularly pull the linen over cj's eyes. apparently, it's the perfect commingling of fat, guts and bones, in a mouthful,

I thought the bird eating scene was great. Gross. Memorable. More of that would make it a better drama.
