The Wheel was a medieval torture where your arms and legs were broken so they could be woven through the spokes of a wheel and you were left in the sun as carrion for crows.

A wind traces across the valley, shoving trash before it. Doors go banging, windows swinging, builders are blown about.
11:38
Stockholm Syndrome. In four days you consider these people to be your whole world. Your survival depends on them. The people become receptive to the idea of being held hostage. Gain affinity with the beliefs of those who are holding your hostage as well.
PAT POT: They came back as little North Koreans.
12:01
Would you believe it? Inflation is up.
13:04
The Indian government have decided to name a street in New Delhi after Eamon DeValera. Do we know any Indians we can name our something after. Shulpa Shetty Shopping Center? They've got crumbling infrastructure. TBTJ it's not just us, it's proper Third World countries too.

BREAKING: A priest called Murphy, 71, fathered a kid with a teacher 31. He had to quit the priesthood. He has a girlfriend with a babby and he better keep her or he'll be killed, Pope or not.
13:50
JOERADIO: Wasn't Michael Collin's dad 73 when Michael Collins was born. He'll never see the kid grow up.
CALLER: A man of 50 could get run over. Congratulations to him. Me and Murphy played golf and cards together. We were great friends.
13:54
CALLER: He knew the rules before he went in and if he didn't like it he should have stayed out, Joe. It's being spun.
13:55
CALLER: He was having sexual relations. Breaking the celibacy vow. He knew it was wrong.
13:56
CALLER: There's a rump of priests who think celibacy is wrong and contraception is OK. In the Philipines the priests live with women. Guys go into the priesthood at 18, go out in the rough and tumble of life, grow up, attitude changes. They want to screwy screw screw.
13:59
CALLER (shrill woman): The apostles were all married until Christ came. I am single. [Obviously in need of a good shag.] I was leaving the religious order on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. I'm obedient to the Church.
14:05
CALLER: I know priests who are come back into the Catholic church and are reordained. Why is it not good enough for Joe Bloke down the road, sorry to use that expression, Joe?
14:09
CALLER: The Lord let it happen. He will have to seek the Lord's forgiveness. David took the wife of another man.
JOERADIO: Have to take a commercial break.
14:24
CALLER (melancholy priest): That caller there knows more than God. She's laying down the law. It does more harm than good. A priest who doesn't fall in love with a parishoner is only half a priesht. I've been a priest 41 years, Joe. Before you became a priest, you were a man. I've been in love. It's helped my priesthood. You can't go through life and not fall in love, Joe. Any priest who says he hasn't falled in love has something wrong.
14:28
JOERADIO: Was she in love with you?
PRIEST: Yes. We're the best of friends. Nothing is taking place. I explained that it's nice to have a friend but I'm a priest.
JOERADIO: You overcame your love?
PRIEST: God gave me common sense. We have fourteen priests here in this diocese who are married and have families.
JOE: Are you not jealous?
14:33
CALLER: We have another unmarried mother to add to the rest of them. They obviously had sex outside marriage. Let's not mix it up. You can have sex and not love someone. You can love someone and not have sex with them.
14:37
JOERADIO: How do you feel about people coming on quoting chapter and verse, Fr. Michael?
PRIEST: "I think if you asked Jesus would he want Fr. Murphy to give up being a priest, he would say 'No'."
19:51
The problem with Big Brother is it brings INTERRUPTING people on the telly. Manners is in deficit, not racial respect. Defenders try to posit the factious householders in terms of class. So it's ok to be classist but not racist? Is it because class is protected? Ringfenced, by class?
21:43
De fella on the telly says statistics are hard to come by, and then asserts that crime is worse in Denmark than here. Such a bunch of caca. The biggest crime in Ireland is sloppy journalism.
21:46
The prat gets on and says that stats say we're ahead of Europe.
1) We don't live in Europe, we live in the Republic of Ireland.
2) The stats are known to be shite, even the police admit that.
21:49
There's no point comparing this country with a modern industrialised country. It isn't.
21:50
Crime correspondent is on talking about himself again, like he's Sam Slade.
21:56
The gorgeous Schulpa says she's had her struggles. I'd like to see her struggle - to get away from me. C'mere me ol' spicy chicken!
