Correct Bronte. He didn't start the thread. But he started the issue of me requiring media training.

No he didn't Clubman as far as I recall Burgess moved it from a different thread.
And sacrificed time with their families and children and had to deal with massive amounts of stress and uncertainty etc. They also provide employment to other people, often from under-privileged areas. In other words they do more to help "the poor" than the mod of smoked salmon socialists who don't actually care about poor people but just hate people who are richer than them.Starting your own business involves a lot of risk and is not restricted to the wealthy or those with a safety net. Those who take that risk often spend years not earning much income as they plough money back into the business to grow it. They should be rewarded for taking that risk and are entitled to reap the rewards for doing so.

Rewards? Like profits you mean?Starting your own business involves a lot of risk and is not restricted to the wealthy or those with a safety net.

Well you've given us great insight into some of your training. Fasinating stuff. I thought your trainer had picked up on you quite well and where you were going wrong, now I know you don't seem to care if you come across badly but it defeats what you are trying to do. But maybe some people, or most people listening to Joe actually get it that you were right. They certainly did on boards.ie. You need to do training with dealing with an interviewer like Joe, handling jibs from a Hall, and members of the audience allowed to say anything they liked without being called up on it without seeming like a monster because you don't agree that people should get free money because the banks are bad people. Me I use Joe Duffy for endless entertainment. Literally a comedy show.Correct Bronte. He didn't start the thread. But he started the issue of me requiring media training.

Who is going to sanction him though. Maybe RTE will give him his own money show. Like a money makeover one would be a great idea.1. What has this got to do with mortgages and home buying?
2. Is that really a meaningful title?
See, proper media training and you wouldn't have made this beginners mistake!! You got so emotional on the issue, you broke two posting guidelines and have now set yourself up for a scandal in the National Media.....
I totally disagree with you on this and agree with Stephen and Purple. It is very unlikely in an Irish context that people got wealth fom inheritances. Most people I know who are wealthy started with nothing. And I mean nothing.Often the wealthy benefitted from private schooling, family inheritance, favourable tax breaks. The risks they take are no greater than those that someone with reduced safety nets take.
Well just under half the rewards. The rest goes in payroll taxes.Rewards? Like profits you mean?

Let's keep with the truth Brendan:- I recommended it would be of benefit to you if you got some media training. With your fairly recent interviews which I heard, I thought media training would do you the world of good. I meant nothing underhand or any innuendo whatsoever. And Like you mentioned in a previous post I never said you "made a fool" of yourself. It was you who used those words.Correct Bronte. He didn't start the thread.

Specifically, as Leper as pointed out, Brendan has attempted to ascribe sentiments to what Leper wrote which are not actually what Leper wrote. Brendan has tried to achieve this by subtly changing Leper's comments from what they actually were (the facts) to something different.
Brendan, with respect those are my posts and I think I gave a good reflection of the Liveline show which took place. I gave an opinion here and there too. Please read my lips:- I never said you made a fool of yourself on the show. As to being "devoured" that's what I believe will happen to the unsuspecting ill trained media punter jumping in on an entertainment radio show hence my recommendation for media training.I assume you are being funny here?
In case you are not, read what Leper actually said:
Anyone going on Joe Duffy should get media training as they will be devoured by media savvy Joe
I listened to yesterday's show on the radio player:- Liveline (rte.ie) I should point out that on another thread on this forum I compared "Life Loans" to giving sweets to a child and for the record I am against such loans. The following is my opinion of what happened on the show:- 1. Siobhán...www.askaboutmoney.com
And you can decide for yourself whether my summary of what Leper said as "make a fool of myself" and being "devoured" is correct.

To me, it appeared Mr Burgess was an apologist for a financial institution which failed to show up.
My advice to anybody wishing for publicity:- Don't set yourself up as a stool pigeon if you don't want to be shot at.
Media Training is the key along with the truth. Go up against a highly media trained Joe Duffy or any two-bit FM media trained radio presenter without such training and you'll find yourself to be cannon fodder in an open trench like you suggested.
your naivité regarding media presentation was a little wanting (
You're inexperienced and It's how you use the ball on which you will be judged. Before you start, be aware that you are a goal behind. You've got to make up the difference early in any interview. Scoring an own goal can be disastrous.
Where do you get slotted in? Joe allows you to participate whenever he wishes. This might or might not be after some human interest story which has nothing to do with Life Loans. Advertising pays Joe's wages (bottom line) - he must allow ads (Get over it!), but he decides when and for how long. Translation:- Joe and his team dictate who and when can contribute. (Duh!). (But it's still Joe 2 - 0 Guest). But, you're defending even before you start.
What can you do to gain an advantage? - Get Media Trained or at least Become Media Savvy. (Now you can score a goal and before the game begins). You might even be near a 1 - 1 score start.

Again read my lips:- Joe won the contest hands down.
you bet your rootin' tootin' bottom dollar you need media training
why sell yourself short in the media when you can win most discussions and make life easier?
Neither would Eddie walk into an ambush laid for a bank.
It's the people who walk into an ambush and lack articulation to clearly express what they want to say get themselves devoured. Once again Joe Duffy is being set up as some kind of victim. (He couldn't have wished for better and on BB's forum too!). In three words:- Another Own Goal!
