The Whineline: Political World's answer to Joe Duffy

Joe I don't think we should be getting loans off MILFs. Joe?

"To be fair ..."

I'd like to complain about people being treated like second class citizens in a certain Dublin Hospital.
I had to take someone there today, who got seen an hour and a half after their allocated appointment time, while others who came later were swept on in without waiting.
I'm assuming it was because they were private patients, and the person I was with was a medical card holder

Disgusting!!

I'm in VHI plan E Option and still have to wait for routine stuff. I only get to skip the queue when I turn up in A&E with blues & twos.

Essential word for a WhineLine thread.

If you were on telly Joe we could see you being outraged on our behalf instead of just guessing how angry you are from your tone of voice. Will I write to RTE, Joe? Will I?

[Captain Con O'Sullivan]

Thanks very much for closing down them Header Shops Joe. There is no drug problem now in Ireland. God bless you Joe.

Hello Joe .... Mary, Mary I'm on the Joe Duffy show .... put the tureen down and turn up the wireless ... Hi again Joe. I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every morning at 6 a.m. his c0ck wakes me up and it's now getting too much for me as I need my sleep. ...

[Captain Con O'Sullivan]

Hello Joe I'm a small farmer and someone keeps irritating my c0ck.

Liveline was running a competition – words that weren’t in the Irish dictionary but were in common usage around the Gaeltacht in Ireland. The prize was a weekend in a B&B in Galway.

Joe Duffy : “Joe Duffy Liveline here, what’s your name?”

Con (for it is he) : “Hi Joe, my name’s Con.

Joe Duffy : “Hello Con, what’s your word?”

Con: “Goan... spelt G-O-A-N pronounced ‘go-an’.”

Joe Duffy : “You are correct, Con, ‘goan’ is not in any Irish dictionary that I can see. Now, for a trip to Galway: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?”

Con: “Goan ya yoke ya!”

Joe Duffy cut the caller off and took other calls, all unsuccessful until:

Joe Duffy : “Joe Duffy Liveline here, what’s your name?”

Con (for it is him again) : “Hi, me name’s Jeff.”

Joe Duffy : “Hello Jeff, what’s your word?”

Con: “Smee, spelt S-M-E-E, pronounced ‘smee’.”

Joe Duffy : “You are correct, Jeff, ‘smee’ is not in the Irish dictionary. Now, for a trip to Galway: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?”

Con: “Smee again! Goan ya yoke ya!”
