Ah here.
Last night.
Claire Byrne Live on RTÉ 1.
Professor Luke O Neill and comedian Bernard O’Shea test out covid-denying bubbles.
Meanwhile…
Not a good idea! An asymptotic person wore an inflatable costume to a workplace in USA…& the released air infected 43 people (& may risk being trapped in emergency) #Covid19 @ClaireByrneLive @laoneill111 https://t.co/FLiJctntzo pic.twitter.com/QFNIcKsRJw

Um.
Watch back here
Meanwhile…
Luke sends a message to his friends in Pharma.
No problems expected from the Irish. They are entirely on board; devoid of intelligence or the capacity for independent thought.
Can we demoralize ourselves any further? https://t.co/LU3tXrPUWE

Claire Byrne = Alannah Partridge at this stage
RTÉ playing homage to Spinal Tap with Bernard O’Shea as Derek Smalls?
Nah, probably not.

Talk about the D4 bubble, wha?
In fairness, I was surprised that there wasn’t more of this bubble play in life over the last couple of months…it was only a matter of time
…with additional contraceptive benefit?
I hate The Flaming Lips
Heard one of their songs once. Got about 90 seconds into it and thought my ears would die of necrosis.
They actually might have other songs that are good but cannot repeat that experience.
Wayne Coyne.
None more smug.

give me 19 minutes, ian, and I’ll convince you otherwise
The comedian making more sense there than the professor.
Luke O’Neill is incredibly annoying. Never mind that on many issues I would agree with him, his stupid laugh about everything is a bit much.
”Well Ryan, ha ha ha ha, we’ll probably all die soon enough, ha ha ha ha, so wear a mask not that they do much good, ha ha ha ha, oh sorry, do wear a mask, they are great, ha ha ha ha, hang on, yep, definitely wear a mask, ha ha ha ha’.
Thinks he’s a farking celebrity, but then RTE thinks its a public service broadcaster so he is in the right company.
He’s by far Irelands (and globally top 1%) most successful scientist by output and influence, he is the exact same in person and his lectures were always memorable. You just know he loves his job and its infectious (excuse the pun). Ive met a few scientists of his caliber and Id take Luke’s playfulness over any of the smug ivory tower types any day.
I get the impression he’d sell his left nut to be involved in the music biz
Well you know what they say Mick, go with your own impressions, based off media appearances and maybe a touch of personal bias, as opposed to taking the word of someone who can actually speak to personal experience in dealing with him.
I do the same thing with Clare Byrne, actually.
And speaking of herself, wasn’t last night an absolute embarrassment? Do you think she lies in bed at night and asks herself ‘Was it for this?’
she rocked those pants, in fairness to her
She did, to be fair to her.
If the ‘this’ is the €250,000 she’s paid by RTÉ, I’d say so.
I say always go with yer own impressions on people Millie. That way yer never disappointed. ;)
With regards to Claire, she’s so wrapped up in the “haters gonna hate” bubble that she’s practically invincible.
Although I did note on Twitter that the feeling on this piece last night was overwhelmingly one of sheer disbelief.
Usually it’s a mixed bag – so maybe we’ll see a return to some normality on these shows.
it’s a metaphor for the gig economy being a bubble.
Woah! RTE actually did this? Ha ha, pretty funny and ridiculous
Who let that absence of humour, Bernard O’Shea, on live tv? The man makes a funeral look fun.
On the other hand, left in the bubble he’ll eventually suffocate and die.
Sweet relief, is what that would be. Then we’d be spared more ‘comedy’ from Bridget and Eamon.
Marcus de Brun sounding increasingly mental, going by his twitter feed.
Didn’t he quit twitter?
DR
Marcus De Brúin gave up everything to tell the truth about this virus. I have corresponded with him about. It has cost him close personal relationships with those who prefer to live in ignorance. His wife demanded that he log off, thankfully he choose to be a truthteller.
Professor Dolores Cahill, Dr Marcus De Brúin and Michael McNamara TD are three heros of this fake crisis.
