It’s bleedin’ deadly to have you back folks…
Forget the Water Charges, forget the weird warm weather in the middle of October; it looks like we’ve finally got something new to talk about. That’s right, Love/Hate is back and Season 5 kicked off in brilliant fashion on RTÉ One last night.
In case you were at an especially-long mass yesterday evening and happened to miss the show, make sure you check out JOE’s super recap of everything that’s happened in the previous series so far.
If, however, you have seen the show, then check out the nation’s Twitter reaction here, and we’re sure you’ll agree with our selection of JOE’s top ten moments, lines and looks from Season 5, Episode 1 of the lethal Love/Hate.
And by Jaysus, you better agree with our selection. Otherwise you can expect a knock on your door… politely asking why you didn’t agree with our selection. Why? What were you expecting?
So here goes…
Fran knows the Guards can’t handle the tooth
What a lovely, lovely man…
“Keep your money… and buy yourself a headstone.”
Ooooooooooh, what a burn. It looks like Nidge and Patrick aren’t really going to see eye to eye during Season 5 if this death threat zinger is anything to go by.

“Will you give over, I’m losing me rhythm.”
Ah Nidge, ever the aul romantic. As he’s, ahem, making not-so-sweet love, his other half wants to chat about her kid. Nidge, however, understandably has other things on his one-track-mind.
“I’ve a bone to pick you with you Nidgey.”
Be careful what you wish for Fran, loose lips sink ships. And by “sink ships” we mean Nidge is going to kill you in your face if he ever finds out what you were saying behind his back.
Siobhan has a spare naggin in her bag. Obviously.
Now that’s our kind of lady. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Naggin…
Nidge’s badass new scar
It’s up there with the Joker’s grotesque smile, Inigo Montoya’s chopped up cheek and Scarface’s… well, his scarred face.
Best. Nickname. Ever.
We want ‘Big Balls’ to be JOE’s nickname from now on, OK? OK.
No dead cats
Just dead nits. Expect the Nits Welfare Groups to be in touch aaaaaany second now…
Fran and Nidge are stuck together like glue
Phew! Looks everything’s going to be just fine now that the two lads are friends again. Not. Nope. No way. We’re all going to die.
It’s back.
Enough said. Love/Hate is back. Coola boola…
