The one with Aliens and Predators, the way it should be

I've been a huge fan of the Alien and Predator series for as long as I can remember. No doubt many of you are long time fans as well. No doubt, a couple of years back, the boner and moistness inducing Aliens vs Predator was announced. Before people had a chance to blow their load, it was also announced that it would be tame, with a glorified rating. Essentially that meant, that the violence and gore was no more. I remotely enjoyed AvP, but ultimately felt sorely disappointed. Well, provided your 18 and over, check the youtube trailer below.



A new AvP movie with shit loads of gore and violence! Finally, something to look forward to. Dont get me wrong, Im not some crazed, blood thirsty crack pot, I'm just excited that this new AvP movie looks the business. Finally, a movie to maybe do some justice to the Dark Horse series. Nosing around the web, a few people seem to be getting upset that a kid is killed in the trailer. What do you expect. Lets be honest, if there were a few Alien's or Predators strolling down Patrick St. on a Saturday afternoon, they'd be pulling babies outta prams left, right and center. The kids' only chance of survival, would be a glass bottle attack by their hoop earing clad mammy! I can hear the conversation in me head alread "C'mere ya big fuckin gooowwwllll. I'll fuckin tear ya"

On another note, Derek Moorey, the dad who is on hunger strike outside City Hall was offered accomodation for himself and his family, by a Cork Talks Back listener. The goodwill of Corkonians never ceases to amaze me. Fairplay to all involved.

The one with...ah who gives a shit

A wise individual said to me earlier on that my body is probably telling me something! Yet again, Im feeling a little bit shitty. I'm now struggling to fight off either a sore throat, flu or tonsilitis. I had a few tablets left over from the apsis thing 2 weeks ago and have decided to take them to try and fix the damn thing. With all this self medication, I should be a doctor. Also, the toot that popped up after I got another one yanked out, is now deciding to kick me ass again. So another trip to the dentist is in order! Which no doubt will happen, around March next year! As for what my body is telling me, well who knows. I was never good at body language. I have come to the conclusion though, that Im pretty bust up. 31 years of constant abuse, shit food and extremely brief moments of exercise are now taking their toll. God, Im such a whiny bitch when Im sick! I will be on the air tonight though.

The weekend went by like all the other ones. Quick and painfulish! Saturday was spent scratching my arse and other parts. Project Gotham Racing 4, got some love as did the new Simpsons demo over on Xbox Live. As mentioned earlier, we got fed on Saturday night and Sunday morning, was spent debating whether to hit my mother up for a decent Sunday roast. Alas we decided not to. Most of the day was then spent with a few snipey comments about the lack of a decent roast. So, we ended up getting KFC. Well at least I got some chicken.

All week long we're giving away tickets for Death at a funeral. A special preview screening in fact. Check out the trailer here. It looks really good and has been well recieved in the states.



Till 9pm......

The one with man measurements..Cork movie..v.cool

Not too long ago I was asked to lend my vocal talents to a very cool Cork flick. Take a peek, its in 5 parts! Well done to Kev and all the crew on this one!

Part 1


Part 2


Part 3


Part 4


Part 5

The one where Xmas comes early!!!!

We headed to the Blue Ginger in Wilton for dinner, last night! Great food as usual (thanks Kev) so after eating too much I decided I needed some paracetemol, for a pain in the ass toothache. The aching tooth had been at it all day at this stage. So; we ended up in Dunnes by the Bandon road roundabout. Ger walked ahead of me as I rooted around the car for a jacket of sorts. She stopped as soon as she walked in the entrance and just started staring back at me. I wondered what was wrong, and then all became clear. What follows, is photographic evidence. Some of you may find the following disturbing.


Now, Ive just doubled checked the calendar for yesterdat, and indeed it was the 13th of OCTOBER. Just a week ago I noticed Tesco in Wilton had started lashing out the Xmas stuff as well. I thought the age old rule of retail was "Once Halloween is gone, we start tearing into Xmas"

Now I have 2 theories on this.

My first theory is straight forward. Tesco and Dunnes have blatantly either forgot about this rule or have just plain smashed it into pieces. My second theory is more complicated. I know as its Sunday morning some of you are either tired, hungover or pregnant! So hang onto your arses. Bishopstown and Wilton are caught in some sort of parallel dimension where they've been catapulted into the future by a few weeks. By some bizarre conincidence, you and I can enter this other dimension at will. This will explain why we are seeing Xmas decorations in the middle of October. Now unless Doc Brown and a DeLorean have been spotted towing Tesco and Dunnes on the back of a trailer down the south link at 88mph, Im not entirely sure how all of this has happened. All I do know is that parallel dimensions do exist and theres one in the Bishopstown / Wilton area. The next piece of proof we will have is Easter Eggs in early January.

The one on a Friday.........

Friday! Friday! Friday! Considering Im not off till tomorrow, maybe I should be shouting about Saturday.

Yesterday I was gratefully hooked up with a copy of Project Gotham Racing 4 and all I can say so far, is bad weather, rain in particular never looked so good! No doubt this will take up some of my time over the weekend! Other than that, friday has been uneventful. Unless you count a trip to the new Maxi Zoo in Midleton where too much money was spent on bullshit for the dogs. Granted it put a smile on their little gobs!

So Im back, attempting to give a meaningful blog update, but to be honest I may as well be out in a field with a hurley and a few rocks! It aint gonna happen, and the latest iTunes purchases blaring in the background arent helping either.

You may as well feck off, beacause there wont be much happening here in this particular blog update! Which is absolutely fuckin' pitiful on my behalf!

Although, hang on....in a moment of brilliance, Ive just discovered an amazing new kids show. Someone needs to sign this up really quickly!



Im in Club Light in Mallow tonight, doors @ 11.30pm!

The one with hand signals and love tunnels

If you've read this earlier, you may have noticed something! It was fucked up!!! Now its edited, fixed and non fucked up

Afternoon all. In between Stephen Ireland and everything else that went on during last nights show, one of the topics, spurned from the brains of our own News Editors (Lana) Echo column, was a new style of flirting. Those of you going out on the pull tonight or maybe over the weekend, take note.

If you do the oul hand across the throat motion, that by all accounts inplies you think that the poor soul your gawking is hot! On the other hand (no pun intended) if you start rubbing your hands together that signifies that you want to meet the hapless soul outside in 5 minutes. All this started out in New York, where 2 brain boffins of ladies decided to come up with some form of sign language, when they were trawling pubs and clubs for men. Now, rubbing the hands together, will have most people thinking your freezing. Considering most pubs and clubs get fairly hot with the masses of heaving bodies, any single folks will more than likely assume you have some demented fever. The only thing you'll be getting pulled, after the throat motion, is a bottle from the back of your skull. But who I am to knock a new way of meeting someone. Whats the worst that can happen!

I sympathise with those of you who, like me in the past, never noticed the big flashing signs saying you cant drive through Jack Lynch! Amazingly I managed to get home without incident last night. If theres anyone out there who can explain what exactly happens when they close the tunnel, please leave a comment. I'd love to know. Are they taping the thing up? Looking for leaks? Or even inviting a few lappers around for an oul bit of a tunnel of love scenario!

For the video game fans out there, Ill leave you with a little youtube clip!

The one with fans

I found this absolutely bonkers last night....Anyways; as promised, for those of you with fans willing to learn...from http://www.ideco.com/fans/language.htm

If she appears briefly at the balcony, excitedly fanning herself, and quickly goes inside, leaving the balcony open: "I’ll go out soon"
Resting the fan on her lips: "I don’t trust you"
Fanning herself with her left hand: "Don’t flirt with that woman"
Running her fingers through the fan’s ribs: "I want to talk to you"
Slowly fanning herself : "Don’t waste your time, I don’t care about you"
Quickly fanning herself : "I love you so much"
Moving her hair away from her forehead. "Don’t forget me"
Passing the fan from hand to hand: "I see that you are looking at another woman"
Hitting her hand’s palm: "Love me"
Carrying the fan closed and hanging from her left hand: "I’m engaged"
Carrying the fan closed and hanging from her right hand: "I want to be engaged"
Quickly and impetuously closing the fan: "I’m jealous"
Dropping the fan: "I belong to you"
Resting the fan on her heart: "My love for you is breaking my heart"
Half-opening the fan over her face: "We are being watched over"
Hitting any object: "I’m impatient"
Hiding the sunlight: "You’re ugly"
Looking closely at the painting: "I like you"

The one with a home made X-Wing

The whole thing, as in the X-Wing looks fantastic, but what kind of lunatic decides to launch it. For fuck sake, I would have taken it and left it in the drive!

The one with the Franks!

Excellent stuff!!!!
