In other news, the grass in the phoenix park has grown half an inch in the past 3 weeks…
@Uncle Montys oaf: No way!!!!!!!!
@Uncle Montys oaf: only half an inch! I wonder is this covid related? Should be an inch a week this time of year.
@David Corrigan: Way!
@Uncle Montys oaf: that needs to be investigated. Something very wrong if its only grown an inch in 3 weeks.
Very harsh, Our national broadcaster had a Christmas party in the studio while the peasants of society were on level 5, I dont even think a fine was issued
@David Lee: well technically they didn’t break any law that was fineable at the time. Just poor judgement. But would have been no harm in the odd suspension handed out.
@David Lee: The so called ‘peasants” of society didn’t abide by the lockdown rules either and had many of party and family gathering. Hence the major spike in cases after Christmas. But of course everyone who posts on here were all very good and blamed everyone else.
@David Lee: ahh didn’t they say sorry. Don’t forget the TV licence will be raised to fund the next going away party.
She’s a grand bird for 60
@len len: just a ©r@p journalist eh?
@len len: not as nice as our Mary.
Kay Burley back on the telly? I can’t wait! Oh wait, I can…
That’s a pity.
Sky News had these laughable ads with her acting like she was breaking some hard-hitting news like Watergate or something when really she’s about as incisive as a plastic butter knife doing soft touch interviews and celeb gossip pieces.
And in other news Sharon’s reading the news on Tuesday next
She looks so much better than she did when she played for chelsea and she was missing a load of teeth
She’s an absolutely horrible person. The way she talks to people. Would turn me off watching sky news.
@Mark Dit: sky news is enough to turn anyone off sky news!!
I am being serious, and stop calling me burley.
The sadness in her eyes…
have your say
