As Im sure many of you know by know, RedFM got 9 nominations for the Irish Radio Oscars, so fingers crossed! And speaking of awards, the Irish Web Awards shortlist is out tomorrow andRedFM.ie is longlisted already in the best radio web site category, so even more fingers crossed we'll make that shortlist as well!
On another note, Im about to launch a new product in the coming weeks. The PBHSS will be THE alarm system to own this winter. Not only is it rescuing polar bears from starvation, but it gives them a new career move as well!
Fairly shortly, Google are about to jump into Internet history again, by releasing a beta web browser. Its called chrome. Its about to launch any minute now. No doubt there is a queue of geeks forming around their PCs and Macs as I type this. At some point this afternoon I'll go off and grab it, at my ease (says he who's checking the Google blog every 2 minutes) and have a nose. Maybe porn will look better on it, who knows.
The following may seem very, down the local shop conversation, but the weather is an absolute fuck up. I've got feck all opportunity to cut the grass and its so tall at this stage its probably easier to sell the house and move somewhere else, than cut the bloody thing. I'm sure I saw a lion wandering around in it yesterday. Maybe it was the lion that escaped from Belfast Zoo. But it wasn't a lion, it was a dog. That's some big feckin dog! How does one get a dog confused with a lion. Maybe it chewed on someones shoes as opposed to ripping out their stomach through their arse.
On another note, last night I made the startling announcement that there is no salt in RedFM. And duly started up the Salt Aid campaign. How this works is fairly simple. If you send me sachets of salt and include your name and address, I will send you a fantastic RedFM car sticker which is far better than putting a Nike stripe on your love wagon. So, salt sachets to
Victor Barry RedFM 1 UTC Bishopstown Co.Cork
And rest assured that you are helping a great cause. Think of the many members of RedFM staff that you will help! Don't leave us have chips without salt any more! Send your salt sachets!
The dreaded double bank holiday is over. While I'm not complaining with a night off, it just takes so long to get back to normality. The Tuesday after a bank holiday may as well be another bank holiday because people don't seem to get back into the swing of things until Wednesday! Anyway, BH rant over, as shit as it seemed.
Easter Monday was spent moaning about getting up too late and so on . But I did manage to end up in Amicus for an early dinner. I'm a fan of the place, but Monday's excursion for a Sicilian Curry turned out to be more of a Sicilian Curry soup more that anything else. But I did get a nice photo, looking down the South Mall!
In other news, KC is all in one piece and didn't break any limbs...yet. Himself and Eddie the Eagle are broadcasting from Andorra all week long. If you check out Eddie the Eagles blog, theres a selection of pictures with the 2 lads dressed up like the bad guys, from one of the earlier Metal Gear Solid video games!
Plenty of reaction to Bertie allegedly handing over the reigns of the pony to Brian Cowen last night. While the MahonTrib. is on the final furlong (thank fuck!) and adopting the Mastermind policy of "I've started so I'll finish" many people agree that the eyes have been taking off the ball. The opposition need to really stop lobbing grenades into the government and the gang of ministers and back benchers really need to stop defending and scurrying to throw the grenades back out. The country has almost been held to ransom over the last couple of years because of the tribunal. Don't get me wrong, if Bertie has done something wrong then he like any other politician, needs to get a foot well in truly planted in his arse. I made a very simple suggestion to Noel O Flynn and Jerry Buttimer last night, and that was when put under the gun from the media when it comes to all things Bertie, just use the magic words of "NO COMMENT". If all parties can adopt a strategy like that, then maybe the country can get back to being run properly and the opposition parties can go moaning about something worth moaning about!
