Bad Blogger

Ive been an absolute disaster in updating this thing, I promise it wont happen again ;). Im going to be lashing up and the Late N' Live Top 5s in the next half hour, so stick back soon!

Decided to have dinner in one of the restaurants in Mahon Point yesterday (Lets Face it theres not too many), and not one in the food court. I wont be naming and shaming but twas an absolute joke. Waited 25 minutes for starters which never arrived. I was then brought my main course 10 mins after that. When asked where my starters were the waitress (who had feck all english) said its the kitchens fault. I more aless threw my main course onto her tray and told her to get me the manager. The manager arrived after another ten mins and didnt seem to give a shit. Typical - Only in Cork. Overall though the centre is as mentioned previously great!

Midweek Top 5 Update

Late N Live Top 5 things that George Bush would do if Aliens attacked America (31/01/05)

5 – Thank them for taking the spotlight off iraq

4 – Phone Will Smith and ask can he help out

3 – Send dick cheneys daughter to see if any are gay

2 – Wonder if his foreign policy can deal with it

1 – When the aliens ask, take me to your leader he brings them to his daddy



Late N Live Top 5 things overheard when Michael Jackson arrived in court yesterday (1/2/05)

5 – Don’t look now but the Culkin kid is here with a gun

4 – The prince of pop, more like than queen of pop

3 – Michaels legal defence said they’d so if we done a top 5, so we’re doin a top 4 instead, hence no number 3

2 – Is that a snot hanging off his nose, oh no its just his nose melting

1 – That’s not mike, that’s Diana ross

Theres an ol pussycat around the place lately and here hes trying to communicate with our hobbit

I decided to take a trip down to the new Mahon Point Shopping Centre around midday today. My main problem was that the traffic lights on the exit for the place were not switched on and it was and absolute disssssaasssttterrrrr. The centre itself is fantastic. Ill say it again, Cork really needed something like this. For some reason it doesnt feel like you're in Cork, its that good. Disappointly some of the shops were'nt open and no Eddie Rockets open either. I do love the Eddie Rockets. I have to take herself down there in a minute so more traffic bedlam. It will be interesting to see how the cinema will fair out as well as the retail park. But overall the whole place is Rockin!

Ive been waiting to hear news about something since November and it finally arrived today, so Id be a happy camper at this moment in time.

That Top 5 update wasnt too painfull. So what have I been up to, I hear one person at the back ask. Just been busy with "things" really. I did manage to see 3 amazing movies, The Aviator, Ray and House of Flying Daggers. The House of Flying Daggers has become one of my all time favourite movies, simply brilliant. Ive always been a fan of Asian cinema, granted they've been sporadic delvings in the last few years. Check it out if you can, sure its subtitled but who gives a toss.

From a show perspective we seem to be off to a flying start for 05. Just from listener reaction alone, we're rocking. Ive had very positive feedback from various other sources too. Hopefully we should have a few more bits going into the show in the next week or so........mainly a quiz of kinds. I feel our movie roulette wheel has run its course for a while, plus we lost one of the CDs!

Im looking forward to the opening of Mahon point, its something that Cork greatly needed. Im a bit disappointed not to see one of the big English electric stores going into the retail park. Limerick have them, why cant Cork? All in all though it sounds great. Im curious to know how long the hot dogs and the cheesy nachos will last in the new cinema there. They've never lasted in any other cinema in Cork from what I remember. What am I like, worried about cinema food...jesus!

Righto, out the gap.

Anyways alot done, more to do. Laters!
