I've always loved talk radio, but lately I'm just sick of political bullshit & water charges, ect....so I'm listening to TXFM a lot. It's grand. I ilke Nova as well but I don't want to just hear classic rock all day. Not ready to give up just yet.

The Joe Duffy show has spent the last hour finding various ways to the say the same thing in praise of the Barry's Tea "buying a train set" advert

I hate ads, but that one gets me.

They spent way too long on that segment though. Advertising is not something that deserves so much praise. Their job is to tell lies.

I couldn't believe it just kept going on and on.

Maybe something else fell through and they just dragged the arse out of it to fill time

The ad is quite nice in fairness

Talking about an advertising copywriter like she was Margaret Atwood.

She flogged tea.

 

[therealjohnny]

She was the greatest Irish woman in history. There should be a national holiday in her honour!


sorry...still caught up in Liveline hsyteria

I don't think I've even seen this ad. It sounds life changing.

 

[therealjohnny]

It's a radio ad full of misty eyed nostalgia and sentiment

and contains the phrase "doesn't that beat Banagher"

 

[nooleen]

[nooleen]

I was absolutely flabbergasted by it. "A man will never run."

Perfume ads are the worst

 

[nooleen]

what the fuck is that accent?
part scottish, part geordie, all man

Yeah but normally they're just abstract nonsense or poorly read fairly-tales. The obnoxious macho-ness of this one is unbelievable. It's just short of pick up artist - I believe alpha males are a real, definable thing in humans - language.

Having said that, can thumped have a body-building sub-forum plz?

Yes! Apparently it's a wonderful achievement to persuade lots of people that they should buy expensive mineral water in plastic bottles, instead of demanding good quality drinking water out of taps.

Joe being his usual tetchy self when talking to people who have the cheek to stage a protest.

A man who has worked for Aer Lingus for @30 years is going to lose 50% of his pension is apparently out of order for protesting outside a minister's house.

This fucking country..shout all you want but don't upset the poor minister.
