An act of war - what exactly is he suggesting that Ireland should now side with the Allies and declare war on Germany.

The Irish Pine

The Irish Pine did sail the sea,
Sunk by a missile from Ger-many,
79 years ago this week or so,
Just like yesterday to our Joe.

We now know it was Ze Germans who sunk de Pine,
But for years they said Nein! Nein! Nein!
Inspector Duffy will hold them bang to rights,
Den write a buke dat will be shoyte.

Off topic as I regularly am but though this was a good place to drop this link to uboat.net which covers all German U-boats and everything about them including all the ships that they sank.

Looking up the Irish Pine takes you to this page on their site https://uboat.net/allies/merchants/ship/2434.html and the ultimate demise of U-608 can be found https://uboat.net/boats/u608.htm (the crew survived).

Thanks for posting. As it happens I'm fascinated by the sea, war at sea etc. and I'm in the final stages of commissioning a painting of the sinking of the South Arklow Lightship by UC 65 on the 28th March 1917. I just can't stand Joe's blundering into everything and turning all history into a farce. In Joe's thinking I'm a survivor of that sinking as I wasn't born at the the time.

Joe should really stay away from Mathematics, which this topic will inevitably descend into................

[Woke Tadhg]

Is the lottery not like Inshure-dance Joe, you know like when you stop paying you get all your money back?

[Woke Tadhg]

This has potential for high-farce and GOLD.

[Woke Tadhg]

The dog is talking more sense than the caller, and Joe - but that's obvious I suppose.

[Woke Tadhg]

"I haven't a clue Joe but that doesn't stop me having an opinion about it"

[Woke Tadhg]

I feel Joe will say "it's a game of skill not a game of chance" 19million times today.

[Woke Tadhg]

Ray Bates must be a friend of Duffy's.

[Woke Tadhg]

From a quick glance at the results the first caller is greatly exaggerating the amount that her fadder "COULD" have won in other weeks.

[Woke Tadhg]

Don't go there Joe........................this is way outside your comfort zone.

[Woke Tadhg]

"EGGZ-Zactly"

[Woke Tadhg]

As usual Joe is conveniently ignoring a large part of this story. If you covered all of the options you'd also win the prize money for all of the Match 3, 4, 5, 5+1 prizes too. A-ha, this caller is informing Joe of this fact so to speak.

[Woke Tadhg]

Joe you win the Lotto every 3 years or so with your outrageous and disgusting fees. Stop pretending to understand what the man on the street thinks.

[Woke Tadhg]

Lotto Loyalty Card................FFS.

[Woke Tadhg]

Ask her the colour of the car Joe........

[Woke Tadhg]

"7 numbers" - 7 numbers Joe?

[Woke Tadhg]

I'm out, I can't listen to this stupidity any longer.

[95438756]

Those Jurmans!! Joe's going for the full apology.

[Del.Monte]

I missed most of the show today - just caught the first few minutes about the Lotto and Joe seems to have had a major U-turn since last week when he was trying to close down the gambling industry. Perhaps there have been a rush of complaints from advertisers and programme sponsors?

Delighted to see that other social site is the complete authoritative source on all things Liveline.

Do you mean boards.ie caller? Some of the posters here are banned from boards.ie for not being woke enough, so to speak. Or for daring to call out woke posters on their nonsense.
