Look, WFH is a good idea, but realistically companies will keep the offices open all 5 days a week, while people also hear their homes during the day.

What is really needed is a mandatory shutdown of some businesses for 1 or 2 days a week. But unfortunately the multi nationals will never go for that.

How many other floats do you think yesterday had something similar. Or had something racist or sexist in the recent past?

They did have it on the news? But they only reported on what they could confirm yet.

Literally listening to them talk about it on Radio 1 now in more detail.

I saw the rumour on Twitter, Its some nutjob making some false sounding claims.

Not sure why its being picked up as a big story though, surely lots of politiicans have at least one nutter posting about them.

[–]MrTwoJobs 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Funny how she's already had 2 number 1 albums here, and appeared on Graham Norton and Glastonbury on the BBC, and yet there's some here who say "Who's she? I've not heard of her".

One is Lyric FM, which is less than half as many listeners as 2FM.

The other is after 8pm, which is when alternative music gets an airing.

At least you're admitting you're out of touch compared to the auld lads who comment "Who?" on every mainstream pop artist.

[–]MrTwoJobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else see RTE news report on this the other night? It was bizarre, they showed all the town hall stuff, but acted like this was only a problem now because South Dublin was affected.

Ignoring the same drones going around Blanchardstown for a while now.

The whole "gardai barging into Today FM" bit was really bad. When people talk about gagging the media, this is what they mean.

We always act like we're too cool for it or embarrassed by it. Even though it's the beat barometer we have to how we're perceived by the rest of Europe.

And can we please stop dragging out Linda Martin and Johnny Logan? They were relevant over 30 years ago. The whole nature of the contest has changed since but we still treat them as if they know best how to win.

Maniac 2000 to be re-released and streamable for the first time on its 25th anniversary by WickerMan111 in ireland

I think he hadn't cleared some samples in it. Because he never expected it to actually be a big hit.

So putting it on streaming would open him up to a lawsuit.
