Perhaps they should try and use our tax money to make some decent
programmes and not fill the airwaves with American rubbish and BBC stuff
that we all saw first time around? Putting their pathetic offernings on
the net is a terrible waste of bandwidth. Most of it is not fit to send
through the airwaves.

RTE is a joke nothing more than a welfare office for Dublin 4 types like
Mary Kennedy and Caroline Crowley. Not to mention the muttering-bumbling
and giggling-for-no-reason geratric Dave Fanning. "and now here
he-he-he.... is the new video..... gulabooobo he-he har-har
snigger-snigger, from ehhhh....saw them, eh I mean him giggle-giggle at
the Point last night he-he, ehhh, uh this is Robbie he-he-he Williams
he-he-he......"

RTE is dreadful shite as are all the Irish TV stations except TnaG. They
should take all the licience money from the Montrose halfwits and give
it all to TnaG. At least that station understands their responsibilty to
offer the Irish public a quality service. 

I really do not like the idea of paying seventy punts a year to look at
Eamonn Dunphy making sucking faces while brown-nosing Johnnie Giles.
Between the ads and the non-stop corpoarte plugging during every
programme, what in the name of jaysus are they spending our money on?

I won't even mention TV3 (*shudder*)
