Ground-dwelling kangaroos are relatively rare in New Guinea, as most kangaroos there live in trees.

PAT PARTICULARLY: They're looking after themselves particularly well.

JOURNO: The only TD who is not tax compliant definitely is the Taoiseach.
10:48
JOURNO: (Salaciously) Apparently the Fianna Fail grassroots are revolting because the Teechips moll got a 30 quidzillion "loan" from the Family funds decades ago that she forgot to repay.

PAT PILOT: I was in a chopper yesterday by the way, flying around Croke Park. Och, it looks fantastic from the air.
SPORTS DRONE: It's fantastic just to be there.

Some Premiership soccer player nearly lost his foot after being tackled so bad on Saturday. The Ugly Game.

PATS INTREPID LISTENER: Easy Pass and Easy Trip automatic tolling - you need both to get around Dublin. If you have both devices on your windscreen, they interfere and one cancels out the other.
INTERPATABILITY: You can drive from the Eastlink to Portugal with the same pass. You just can't get around Dublin. They're using the word "Interoperability" which I've never heard before so it must not be a proper word.

P O'NEILL: Should we just bite the bullet in the matter of Croke Park?

GUEST: Unfortunately, we live in a democracy and you have to legalize gay people.

That woman panelist on the radio is always bringing down the tone, I'm sorry to say. She just said "ass" and "foot in there". Her name is Jerry Crone. She's always flogging her image consultancy service every chance she gets. Pat hasn't noticed because she's a girl. She says other horrible words too.

They've put portaloos around Croke pork. Too posh to pee.

Senator (a salaried political appointee) has just been on complaining about the human rights in China. Patty Chan says something about preparing the children for a 21st century lifestyle by teaching them Mandarin. Le Senator says, let's hope it's a democratic 21st century. Yeah, in Ireland, quango-features.

Soundbite politics demeaning meaning meant meanly as the Deputy Dear Leader Brian Cowen has accused opposition leader Enda Kenny of sounding more and more like Napoleon in Elba, drawing up plans for wars he lost, and he criticising the Taoiseach oh-so-meekly.
14:38
FYI: Napoleon marched on Paris at the head of a 100,000-strong army when he left Elba in 1814, n'est pas?
