It all started on Newstalk Breakfast (Newstalk, weekdays, 7am) with newsreader Shane Beatty mentioning how Bear Grylls advised us not to call it an alarm clock, saying “ chance meter” or equally uplifting words might be better. Ciara Kelly’s answer mirrors the majority’s answer: “Damn it, Bear Grylls.”
ut Beatty has more Grylls wiser advice on the need to be “positive” in our lives, recommending cold showers to reset the system, walking in the rain, or the feeling of wet grass beneath your feet. Really, make you Bear Grylls.
However, this wouldn’t have turned out to be any worse than a few moments of radio banter if we weren’t then faced with the main theme of the morning: the lifting of the limit on “enemies.” labor” of bankers.
Now, I have never been one of those people who think that the News is always so negative, that we should have a good News newspaper just to show that humanity is not completely lost. But I think it might be the case that some things are too annoying for anyone to listen to in the morning – or the last thing at night, or for many hours in between.
You’re a little off balance to think that anyone could consider half a million a year “peanuts.”
Raising the “compensation” limit of bankers is one of them. You can wake up to the sound of your chance clock, followed by a cold shower and a walk in the rain – even barefoot on the wet lawn – and still think that the government is really working. Remove limits on bankers. ‘ was paid a lot, will make you sad, it sucks.
Once again I support Kelly on this issue – vehemently oppose. And the nature of these things, when Shane Coleman takes the opposite position, a view that accepts that this is the way the world works, it only deepens the suffering.
This is the pattern that will be repeated for the rest of the day – with Pat Kenny, with Claire Byrne. You will have someone against that, which will perpetuate your anger; and you will have a replacement, which will raise that anger to a new intensity. Either way, you’re a bit off-balance to think that anyone could consider half a million dollars a year as “peanuts.”
And you know that the senior members of Sinn Féin are going to tour the sets, which is good news they’ve had for a long time.
On days like this, even Bear Grylls can go to sleep.

Fortunately, the quality of your mental health can also be greatly enhanced by the very radio that brought you down. Culture file (Lyric FM, weekdays, 6:30 p.m.) on Lyric FM is often uplifting, especially when it turns attention to association football.
A recent feature on the World Cup was host Luke Clancy talking to an art writer, a film producer and an author about the course of the match – and as you might expect in the context This time, its style is slightly different from what Kenny Cunningham, Shay Given and “Nutsy” Fenlon are showing on RTÉ television.
We’ve heard that VAR has created “aesthetic dissonance”, that the game’s Victorian substructure is being replaced by a digital, digital structure – hence the way technology more important than arbitration, reflecting a broader culture in which media arbitrations are replacing democracy.
Video of the day
Then again, we are reminded how strange old television images of a football match can look because the motion pictures have yet to learn to “read” the matches.
Maybe in 100 years, we’ll think VAR has taught us new ways to “read” the game.
But in the end there was a general consensus that “VAR is the flip side of art”.
In that case, Jimi Hendrix would be the opposite of VAR. RTÉ of arena (RTÉ1, weekdays, 7pm) is celebrating Hendrix’s 80th “birthday”, with writer-songwriter Peter Murphy – also traded as Cursed Murphy Versus The Resistance – shedding light on the look the majesty of the great man resplendent.
Murphy talked about how Hendrix sounded as if he were playing three guitars at once – a bit like blues artist Robert Johnson – and how he became “synonymous with absolute mastery”. What we’re hearing with the Hendrix is not an electric guitar, but an orchestra.
When I hear the lyrics “sorry when I kiss the sky”, I immediately think of Bear Grylls. But then he left.
