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 Minstrels and Beastiality

Part of this update, briefly discusses Beastiality, so if your offended by that, click the x on the top right!


Much to the shock and horror of producer and listeners last night, my admission of eating minstrels for breakfast yesterday morning caused quite a stir. Some of the other items on the show included the anti-social carry on in Douglas and the new Zoo movie coming to the Cork Film Festival which tells the tale of a bloke who dies from having sex with a horse. We also had the privilege of having a new Psychic in the Monday night hot seat, called Trish Woods, who judging from callers and the large amount of feedback we got, was an absolute runaway success.

Going back to the movie Zoo, which incidentally has a very striking poster to go with it its, no doubt going to cause a few people to get upset. While it doesnt exactly show a horse getting it on with an individual, people will no doubt flock to see it, given that the subject is a fairly taboo one. As one caller said on air last night "Its not going to cause people to run out of the cinema and go, c'mere, your a nice looking horse". Theres at least always one movie at the Cork Film Festival that causes a stir, as there is with every film festival. Im not defending the movie by any means, but I am defending the fact of freedom of choice. If theres such a movie on release then surely people, if they want, should go to see it! To be honest, the thought of it, a movie like this, freaks me out a little. Horses doing men or women wouldnt start floating my boat, as a matter of fact it would sink the boat faster than the Titanic. Would I want to go see it? Well with the hype surrounding it, yeah. I would watch it.No one is holding guns to anyones head to go see it! Those of you with access to the internet will no doubt be well aware that theres all kinds of demented shit lurking around cyberspace!

Sometimes I wonder why people get so uptight about movies in general. The ones that cause the stir, be they a decent flick or not, let the public run their publicity machines. I only recently saw 9 songs, and to be frank I scanned through the thing in fast forward. Stopping only to look at the music scenes....ahem! So many people got their knickers in a twist over this and some of the scenes, in particular, the bloke getting a foot job in the bath and the scene of full penetration at the end. How do people think babies are being made. Surely some don't still think the Stork comes smashing through your double glazing in the middle of the night? As a movie, for me anyway, 9 songs was aload of balls, literally. Didnt like it. If I want some porn, I'll get it on the web. Who wants to be looking at some oul band crooning out a few songs in between foot jobs in the bath. What I would like to know is; what are the people, who lose their minds over these type of flicks doing watching them in the first place. Or is it the usual case of people reading a review, never seeing the actual movie and then getting on the moral high ground, just for the hell of it!


Lots of you wanted to hear more about the space toilet 9000, well here ya go



On a final note, the late Yasser Arafat's long lost cousin dropped by last night to help out with the production of the show!
