Is Gay Byrne still kicking around? The John Humphrys of RTE. Without the charm.

Up to a point, it shouldn’t. But there’s a point where, unless they’re offering something unique/difficult to replace – and I don’t believe Dimbleby or Humphreys are – they become ‘bed blockers’ or personality […]

I believe she went to a comprehensive school.

A slight tangent… I find it disturbing that so-called ‘big beasts’ like Dimbleby and the loathsome Humphreys get to hang around for decades, long past pension age – in jobs where clearly there are others who […]

I was tickled to find out from this news story about the Geordie influence in the Chinese telecoms scene. HUAWEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII YABOOGAMAN!

It’s impossible to humiliate that woman. She personally signed off on a moronic scheme (RHI) that will cost taxpayers c.£500 million – literally, burning wood pellets to heat empty buildings and paying greedy […]

To be fair, Fred, back from pub at 8.15 and I did the same… that pro-celebrity dancing show… the one with no actual celebrities on it…

Amazingly, I was at a pub this evening chatting with people and the ‘Tribeca’ thing came up. A guy wandered over and said he was curious about what we thought – his dad’s behind it. We were perfectly civil but […]

Yes, we do things differently over here. A bit like living in that weirdo place in ‘Deliverance’…
On a tangent, as Freddy brings it up… I was proofing an academic text this week on cyber security and came […]

Indeed…
I’d write more protest songs but I’ve decided to fall out with myself and sulk for two years on full pay from the public purse, while talking entrenched, po-faced crap on TV current affairs shows every […]

A shower of corporate villains who want to build shiny crap in the middle of Belfast have hired NI actor James Dornan to lend his silky voice to a rather creepy propaganda film claiming ‘We are Tribeka’. The irony […]

Interesting question, Deram… I know that Tom Robinson went to the same school as Alexis Korner (a very progressive place) and had some connection with him from that basis, and some of the artists on the LP were […]

Regular Afterworders will know I’m a huge fan of smiley, deep-voiced troubadour Sarah McQuaid – who combines Chicago, Spanish, Irish and, some say, Polish ancestry with living a couple of miles from Land’s End. […]

I have a friend who’s 50 and fronting an ‘alternative rock’ act (what does that even mean anyway?), getting airplay in ‘new bands’ and ‘breaking through’ kind of regional radio shows. He’s been ‘breaking through’ […]
