Who broke RTE?

Guest

Or are they on the sauce tonight or what?

Somebody screwed up the VT roll on the 9 o'clock news several times and then you could hear the studio manager shouting at the start of the Late Late Show credits (I hear it just as I was turning over, honest).

I hope somebody gets fired for that!

Anne Doyle.Even if it wasn't actually Anne Doyle it was Anne Doyle. She's "Newsreader 1.0" the rest are modled in her likeness. She's been reading news for RTE since they were 2RN.

I changed it enough so I don't have to pay royalties.

An but this is a Swiss Bank account forum, they can't touch us for libel so they won't get a cent out of us for royalties either.

Strange, the Beeb went doolally this evening as well. Started the wrong program at 7.30, then had to rewind and try again. Some sort of operators holiday today?

Gardening. Does that make it better or worse?

Too right, but I understand everybody in the world can't be as funny as me. Otherwise we'd all starve to death and die because we would be laighing too much to eat and do other stuff. I'm that funny.

But I'm sure you can do other stuff well too. Nothing as impressive as my comic mastery of course.

I can do this trick where it looks like i'm removing my thumb from my hand. It's like soooo cool.

I was wrong, that really is as impressive as my comic mastery.

Feckin hell girls - "RTE in technical fuckup" - suppose next thing yi'll tellin us is that is that Eddie O'Sullivan is feelimg slightly nervous about tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (edit actually I mean today - but hey- ya know what ~Im on about!)

They usually make a balls of something, but last night it seems as if they'd made a balls of everything.
And seeing as I don't wantch enough (usually any) television I can't justify the cost of Sky etc so I was forced to watch them crash and burn. But then they showed Apocalypse Now on the other side which is one of my fav films so I watched that.

Worked in BBC news graphics for a short stint. Once sent out a nice pic of a blue budgerigar instead of photo of Minister Geoffrey Howe, and on another occasion when a notorious serial killer known by journos as "The Fox" was on the news put up a nice photo of a nice furry red fox due to low level of attention to content of item. Was glad to leave before pushed.
