Question: Ken v Mark
Option 1: Ken votes: 5
Option 2: Mark votes: 0
Title: Poll: Ken v Mark
Post by: Clinker on March 08, 2017, 11:47:36 PM
No doubt a lot of W.D. Flackes supporting posters on the board and the television news telling us that the "man who died was a member of the minority community." Then came a few GAA results late at night but Antrim club mainly and a team called Hannahstown featured (but no Lámh Dhearg.)

Nowadays Ken tells it as it from the heart whilst Mark has a more almost ready to smile take on it.
What do youse reckon yourselves?

Saw Ken up The Hill a few weeks ago. It was "interesting", as he himself might say.

Some clear out. They're losing some real talents. Meanwhile Nolan goes on and on. Saw him yesterday showing a TV camera into people's faces as they came out of a shop. God knows what it was about. Could be face coverings in shops, could just as easily have been about the Storey funeral 4 months ago.

Saw an ad for his show tonight. He's running about a garage forecourt after people who went into the shop with no mask on. Like a Spotlight exclusive or the paedo hunter style.
Really?

Yes. He was chasing a man who was leaving the shop and asking (aggressively) why he wasn't wearing a mask when he entered the shop and asking if he didn't care. The man, who was at this point wearing a mask, was walking away quickly and telling him to clear off.

He's lost some weight!!
Really? He had lost his annual 10 stone on a shake diet, back at the start of lockdown, but he seemed to have ballooned again.

I saw it in person, he was a disgrace. Luckily I was masked up and was spared the treatment.

Ach - Ken taking redundancy at the end of March. No more inside sources.
Tracey nailed on to take over.
Frank going too after 34 years.
The world will never be the same.

Is Frank retiring his name too, or has he passed it on to someone else?

He had a go at boys like you in an interview. Said he didn't change his name to get a job with unionists. He was using Mitchell when working in a pirate station in Dundalk as they couldn't use their real names.

GIven the time of year, one can easily imagine the poppy issue has reignited. How the BBC gets around fair employment rules while requiring people to adopt political symbology at work I will never know.

On UTV, a commercial TV channel, you would think they would want to keep their presenters young and fresh. Yet they have Paul Clark and Rose Neill both of whom must be in their late 80's lol.
