It was a long night last night. Bank Holidays can be dodgy on the radio particualry for the monday night pshychic segment. But thankfully we were rockin as usual last night. I got home for around 1ish following an almost tearful farewell with my other producer Michelle. Thank God for Sky+, plenty doses of the Simpons and even Coronation Street. Mixed in with a few bottles of beer and 2 damn pot noodles, I had an early excursion to the jacks this morning...twice. Of course what did I have for lunch...another pot noddle. Im addicted to the mexican ones at the moment. Its tough going though. Speaking of spicy things I picked up some extra hot sauce during a midnight shop on Friday. Well turn me sideways and beat me with a hurley. It blew the head clean off me, never had anything like it. Ill look at the label later and put it up here...just in case your interested! Im a big fan of all things spicy, but this sauce will rarely get used.
Given the papers for a bank holiday are written a week before almost, Im not entirely sure whats going to be on the cards tonight. But I know I will be doing a suvivial guide, like Ive done every year at this time, for the exam students. It was great being in 2nd and 5th year..it was like "Ha look at those fuckin fools and there exams" and then in what felt like a week I was the fool doin the exams. Theres nothing worse than doing the Leaving Cert. Im a big believer of dont believe the hype and all, but it just gets a taste in your mouth and gives you a bit of a downer each morning you have to get up. Theres too much pressure on kids these days, more of a pressure created or should I say manufactured by society. If your reading this (I know theres at least 2) and your doing exams, take it handy...no pressure. I remember doing my leaving the first time round ( I repeated cos I fucked it up first time) a select few of us were racing each other to see who could finish first. Hence there was a tear or 2 the second time round and it was all good!
I read this morning that the first trailer for King Kong will be attached with War of the Worlds and will be online around June 28th. Looking ahead its not a bad summer for movies. Roll on Batman Begins next week and of course War of the Worlds. I must say Im just slightly interested in Mr and Mrs Smith. No its not Silent Bob and his missus but the Pitt and the Jolie kicking the shit out of each other. Should be good, at least it looks good. Even from the warddrobe perspective. The uniforms look pretty cool.
Theres now 19 fish in the tank and all are doing well. I bought 13 more on Friday and will be doing one or 2 more stock ups before the week is out. More than likely on Friday. Im telling ya, this is the best hobby Ive had in quite a while. It keeps me quiet for a few minutes a day, which is great news if your trying to put up with me.
A few people have asked me to do some more rappin' since I busted out some rhymes from the website during the show last week. Dont hold your breath it wont be happening.
Theres nothing else of note here today so thatll be all

Theres a 18" version of "Marv" from Sin City. Great movie, saw it on a special screening this morning @ 10.30. Super violent, Super Sexy and just plain Super. I havent been around the last few days due to some bad news that I wont get into here. Im absolutely shattered, its been a long couple of days so far but Ill pull through. Thats it really, nothing else I want to be rabbiting on about, just not in the mood.
New fish tomorrow though.

Well Im still missing what feels like, a third of one of my back teeth. I have the occasional drool and a minute lisp, but no matter what I tell myself, I will still have to go to the dentist. As a matter of fact its going to be tomorrow and for the rest of the week.
The mother in law (to be,almost) came for a visit today.....always good fun. The fish are rockin' now. Im about to finish book 3 of Frank Millers Sin City and its a helluva read. Roll on the screening Im going to on Thursday morning.
For the first time since we moved in, I came home last night and went straight to bed, due to the dizziness and weird pains in my head. 13 hours later, I was feeling a bit better. All tooth related no doubt or should that be, as per yesterdays post...fuckin popcorn!!!!
I have to start organising for Gers birthday in the next day or 2 so thats going to be fun.......not. I hate; well hate is too strong a word, Im not a big fan of this organising due to running out of ideas after 5 years. It has to be done though, it has to be done.
So theres nothing else of mention...

What a fucker of day. Well things arent that bad. My copy of Be Cool arrived and as opposed to putting it on the shelf I decided to watch it. Most people will have a munch with a movie and I made some popcorn. As with most popcorn there are always some kernels left over. Well one of these little bastards knocked half of my tooth at the back of my mouth and Im beginning to get a lisp now. A visit is now in order for the dentist, who knows when though. Overall the movie wasnt bad, but Im in a real irritated state now. Fuckin popcorn!!!!
The next few additions to the fish tank will be made on Friday and Im off to Sin City on Thursday. Life wouldnt be too bad only for fuckin popcorn. So thats it, Im off to do the show. Hopefully tomorrow Ill be feeling a bit better.............fuckin popcorn

Well another weekend bites the dust. Today as the weather was nice and Im sick shit of cooking I decided we should head out for Sunday lunch. Off to Carrigaline tried 2 places (one being a hotel) and feckin nothing. No food period. To top this off the traffic was mental, so after a visit to Woodies via Belgooly (dont ask) we made KFC. At least we had chicken, granted it wasnt roasted. Saturday night I was left on my tod as herself had some birthday party to go to, so experimenting I went. Rock Shandy and Tia Maria = Vics Liquid Orange Chocolate. The absolute job. Im wondering now if I mixed it with Cidona would I get a toffee apple like cocktail.
Managed to take in Assault on Precint 13 on Friday night as well as nearly dying for stuffeditis from a Chinese. All in all gritty and gorey and that was just the Chinese, the movie was good too. The fish have almost being cleared completley of whitespot, granted theres one more treatment to go tomorrow and thats it then. Big purchase of fish on Friday next.
This is it for today as I can hear the KFC knocking to come out!

Fishy probs
I wake up at 12 this afternoon. Turns out the missus turned the heating on at 6 in the morning, so Im in a heat and sweat induced coma. I struggle down stairs to feed the fish and notice something that I thought that would go away. Tiny little white spots (its a disease thats normally associated with new tanks) appearing on 2 fish now. It will eventually kill them if left untreated, so a journey is called for to the fish shop.
6 Euros later and a Big Mac Im at home, adding 9ml of this blue dye thing into .5 of a litre of hot water. I take 3 attempts, as the instructions say wait for it to disolve while stirring. Now I have a strong wrist (right only) and Im sitrring the shit out of it for 4 minutes, and nothing. So its gone into the tank now and it will have to get a second dose on monday and then after that, sorted........hopefully. You can see a pic of the tank in a previous pic, and Ive had to remove a big ol stone I had in it as this cure will stain it. God help the fish anyway. It now looks like I have a rockery under the tank.
Last show of the week and its been a good week. I gave away 5 pairs of Aslan tickets last night and normally we spin the oul roulette wheel and get people to identify a piece of music. If they guess it correct, they get the tickets. Red is a Top 40 station so for the best part there are no obscure unrecognisable tracks in our archives. The amount of people that got it wrong last night staggers belief. Maybe its easier for me just sitting on my hole. But cmon, Cork people dont know the Frank and Walters......arrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I was planning on heading to the flicks tomorrow to break up the day but theres absolutely feck all in. Roll on Sin City on June 3rd, granted its out in August on DVD in the states. Yeah, its pre ordered. Im really trying to lay off the credit card which is proving more difficult every day. The better halfs birthday is next month so I can use that as an excuse.
I could go on and say the price of bread is terrible and the weather is unsettled, but you dont give a shit, do ya....................see, just what I thought.
Keep the hand off it!
