Re: Ireland AM - I wonder is Sinead Desmond's litigation ongoing? Imagine the tea she could spill...
Currently, Tommy Bowe and Muireann are so bad they're akin to a parody.
Simon Delaney is excellent, so they'll probably axe him next and replace him with either Stephanie Preisser or some retired GAA person at a loose end....
Tommy is beyond useless, as is Donnocha O'Callahan on 2fm. I don't know whose idea it was to repurpose perfectly nice but bland and untrained rugby players as tv and radio presenters but it needs to stop.

I am a recovering heroin addict ( well tbh my addiction was more opiate pain pills such as oxycontin but i moved onto heroin for a while) and people used to say the same about me. I always looked after myself and made an effort with my appearance, i didnt have the financial worries that most people with addiction have, and i was able to keep it a secret from people. Opiate addiction is rife and a lot more common than people assume. There are 'professionals' who have opiate addictions, and i mean people in medical professions, top people in business etc. Personally i think when people can afford the drugs, dont engage in criminal activity to finance their addiction, they go unnoticed as they dont look like the stereotypical 'smackhead'. And that was the same for me too. I was naive and also thought of myself as a 'functioning' addict, but the truth is i wasnt at all. I may have looked like i was functioning but inside it was torture for my mental health.


Yes i totally agree, and i have just wrote a comment saying something similar as that was my personal experience with it :)
I remember the same thing was said when Corey from Glee died. No one knew and everyone was so shocked as he didn’t look anything like the image people have in their head of an addict. He had the money for the drugs and also to maintain his life style and for healthy food with never having to choose drugs over food spending wise.

Congrats on being in recovery

Am I right in thinking that Gemma Jones, who played Bridget Jone's Mother (Bridget's Jone's diary), is appearing alongside Steve Coogan in The Reckoning (Jimmy Saville drama made by the BBC? I hope I'm wrong, up until now, I have admired her as an actress.

Space played at my student union in 1996, they were amazing! Female of the species was really big at the time.
One of the members of Space (Dave the bassist) is married to my second cousin. Nice guy, still making music :)

Its absolutely awful. On youtube there is a promotional advert from the 90's by Purdue Pharmaceuticals (the makers of the drug), and its absolutely shocking! Its trying to show all the positive reasons why oxy's are a wonder drug, and they even claimed that you cant get addicted to it. It had a group of patients on it and they were all clearly off their tits saying how brilliant it is and how its changed their lives for the better. Anyway, fast forward to now and i think all but one of the patients shown within that advert are all dead, having died from drug related deaths.
Oxycontin is literally heroin but in pill form.
I have no doubt that opiates have their uses, but for me i regret the day my doctor first prescribed me with opiates. In my case it was codeine, and then tramadol that i was prescribed legitimately. And then i was stupid enough to get involved in Oxy's and then heroin for a while. I feel very lucky that i am no longer on opiates and i have been able to put it behind me, i wouldnt wish opiate addiction on anyone. :)
could you pm me if it’s not too much trouble please? ❤

Yes. There's an article in the Mail today about it.

Laura was made redundant but Anna left to work at the Communications Clinic. She also has an online clothing business. I wish they’d get rid of that Alan Hughes though - he’s an attention seeking tool
Anna works in PR now? I presumed she'd go on to work in tv. I'm kind of sick of her clothing line though, it's just hoodies and t shirts with the logo on. It doesn't do it for me. I like Muireann but not sure Tommy is right for the job. I never quite gelled with Laura, preferred Anna.

Yes she is, she also played Elton John's granny in the film about him where he was played by Taron Egerton.

Laura's voice is very harsh: I always found her a bit grating.
 
I took propranolol postnatally for about 9 months for high BP and anxiety. BP calmed down after 2/3 months but I realised that I loved the way the propranolol took the edge off my day. Kept on it at the max dose allowed along with the max dose of fluoxetine (Prozac). Safe to say I was a chilled out, numb person for those few months. Secretly, I loved the feeling and don’t think I truly suffered anxiety and depression so totally get how it can get somewhat addictive. think I kinda made out things were worse than they were to keep my supply. Didn’t want to come off, but had to be weaned off both gradually under supervision of my GP when I went back to work and my employer questioned my behaviour (completely apathetic apparently). May not be the same experience as everyone else but I can definitely see how it has issues…

I used to just love Russell Brand. I would have shagged him no question. Now, I would NEVER. Strange how things have changed so much with him. When he was funny, he was amazing. This serious guru business is no fun at all.
I bet if you asked him backstage for a quiet word about spiritual, yurt/organic/holistic living he would oblige you with a "favour" I honestly think he is still a womaniser. These types of men seldom change their charachters they just learn to hide their antics and a more discreet. However much he pushes the devoted family man / spiritual guru image the urge to put it about is still there.

I wouldnt have said no to Russell Brand when he first got famous. Although I don't think there's any record of him liking men :ROFLMAO:

Hes gone a bit strange lately, and hasnt aged all that well.
