The one with the obvious

Hello to all who have been pounding my inbox since yesterday evening. Lots of you have got excited regarding the Kevin Smith interview and you'll just have to hold tough till Sunday to hear the entire interview. I'm about to start producing it up today and tomorrow and it'll be ready to roll on Sunday night. Kevin was a dream (not in a gay way, I'm engaged!!!) to interview. Ive been a fan since Clerks all those years ago so it was a big highlight to chat to the man himself. The ould cliche of "Never meet your heroes" always comes to mind. I don't have many heroes and to be honest, if more peoples heroes had the attitude of Kevin Smith, the world might be a better place. Anyway, enough of the ass munching :) Sunday night, check it out and keep listening to Red for the promos!

The ongoing pain in the throat has been a major pain the ass over the last few days. Due to my self medicating degree Ive now decided its not a sore throat but more of a sinus infection. I'm full of flim which seems to have difficulty moving around and in my medical wisdom Ive decided its something to do with my Sinus. Next week, after a dose of decongestive tablets I'll finally give in and pay a visit to the doc!

Around 5.30 last night someone rang the station to find out was I announcing the Death at a funeral screening. I normally do announce the screenings but hadnt done so in a good few months. As this was a Cork Talks Back only screening I decided it was time to get back into gear and start announcing the screenings. But between all the stuff going on yesterday I completely forgot the whole thing until Eimear gave me the lowdown on the phone call. Our lovely Red Patrollers dropped me in and had a good oul bit of banter with the audience. I asked the mob if they had any questions and in between the "Are you single?" questions, some lady made the announcement that she was a big fan of sexually speaking with Anne Sexton on a Thursday night. The temptation to explore her comment even further crossed my mind, but these folks were here to see a flick and not start talking to some badly dressed pervert about their selection of battery operated love machines. Some other folks wanted to feel me up (whats wrong you people, do you need glasses) and a few more threw out their opinions on Steve Staunton. With that a barrage of free Haribo hit people full on, and we hit the exit.

The one with the announcment

Right, as promised the oul announcement. I wont bother beating around bushes, the man, the icon and the legend that is Kevin Smith WILL be on the show, UNCENSORED on Bank Holiday Sunday night.

The interview is in the bag and you do not want to miss it! Trust me on this one!!!!! Besides pimping out his new book, hear Kevin's take on the what would have been a great solution to the troubles that were in the North to Donkey Shows and everything else in between!

Pick the book up here

The one with........

No blog update in the usual sense today, but from around 5pm tomorrow, there should be a little announcement.....

The one with radio awards

Well done to Colm, KC and all involved with Brake The Cycle. All 3 pick up awards at the National PPI Radio Awards!

The one with Oh My God and Waaaatttevvvvaaa

The country has become too Americanized! Some listeners had that belief last night, while many others felt that its a good thing. Id be in agreement with the latter. Lets be blatantly honest about it. The Irish couldn't survive without an occasional Big Mac or Whopper now and again. Corkonians couldn't survive with out "French Fries" and curry. I would be in that category as well! If theres not a mouthfull of moo cow on a bun goes past my lips on a regularish basis, then I feel something is missing. Starbucks have recently started their assault on Irish soil. Theres more Starbucks in New York alone than anywhere else. And no doubt we'll have a similar situation here in a few years. But whats wrong with that? Nothing if you ask me. Isnt it all about choice!!!!! If we didnt have Hollywood churning out flicks on a regular basis, we'd all be going to the cinema to watch Michael Collins, Eat the Peach and The Van and one or two other flicks. If we didnt have McDonalds etc.etc. we'd still be eating cabbage water sandwiches. And if the porn industry in the states wasnt so big, then quite a number of single folk would still be buying bunches of flowers from Statoil, in the hopes that some lonesome sheep would finally put out!

Look at the internet, made in a hole in the ground by some English chap, wasnt it. Created for the sole purpose of contacting other like minded chaps about how many hairs on Hitlers hole or something, during the war. Then the Americans locked onto it and chances are YOU are reading this blog, using an America Operating System and an American company badged PC. Granted it may be made in an Industrial plant somewhere in the mid west, but its the dollar thats providing the work force with drinking money. One texter last night pointed out that Google has an Irish only search engine option. Which is quite true. An option like that is quite handy, if your looking for a local taxi service, a takeaway or some crowd to build a cow shed. But for the best part, how many people do actually use it. Alot of people use the net for "adult" purposes. While the thoughts of old school friends and ex girlfriends / boyfriends showing their milk bottle coloured hole bobbing up and down on some mad irish porn site excites most of us, it doesnt really exisit. While "Bridie does the lads at the ploughing championships" may stir up a bit of curiosity, Jenna Jameson and the guys at the ploughing championships" will be more of a popular choice. Maybe Ireland needs to take a leaf out of the yanks and get some decent home grown porn on the screens! Or maybe I dont know how to use google properly.

The part of the whole "Americanizm" thing I absolutely dispise is the Oh My God and Whatever shite. So many people but young and old, drop these lines like its normal. It aint normal! Fortunately, it seems to be more of a female trait than a male trait. No doubt if some feen started uttering "OH MY GOD" to his Celtic jersey clad mates, he'd be pulling bits of beer bottle out of his head for a month. That said, and the more I think about it, I may have an answer. The OMG crew are actually part of some new sitcom that no-one knows about. One with hidden cameras and the likes. As innocent civilians, we are none the wiser.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!

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......
