In a complete nutshell!!!

Kevin, the guy who was a recovering alcoholic, and seriously down on his luck came got sorted out late last night. He came on the air looking for advice, and told the tale of how he owned 500 quid to a loan shark and needed by this morning, otherwise he was going to get a serious hiding. That was it, he told his tale, and the people of cork blew our switchboard, nearly clean off the desk. For security reasons, I couldnt announce, until now that a Taxi company offered to bring Kevin out to the studio to collect the money from a generous listener. To be honest, I was blown away by the genoristy of Cork people, AGAIN last night. I know people say Cork is full of begrudgers, well last night was definitely not the case! Legends!!!!!

Speaking of legends, we had reports for most of last night of people spotting a guy in a cape and black jumpsuit. Someone rang and told Dave that they saw this guy in the car park, late last night. So doing his producer job, he wandered off to see what or who was going on. And unbelieveably, he came back into the studio with Elvis Presley...from Kanturk. And hes on the net too...amazing!!!

Tonight is the night that we give away premium level tickets for the All Ireland hurling final, on Sunday. Tonight is the night that we will follow up the hundreds of comments about Clonakilty last night.

Much to the shock of some of the listeners the other night, the reasons for me taking a night off was to take the woman who puts up with me, out to dinner. Plain and simple. Nothing more, nothing less. Chicken wings, prawns, burgers, noodles, pork etc.etc.etc.etc. Contrary to popular belief I do have a heart.............sometimes. Its been a mad busy few weeks, hence the lack of proper blog updates. My PPI radio award submissions are completed, so we'll see what happens. Third time lucky maybe.

My humblest apologies, as this is the last time, there will be a mundane and quite frankly rubbish blog update. It might well be worth checking back tomorrow though, for some video!!!!!!

Another weekend rolls by and its 119 days to bloody Christmas! That probably explains why certain UK Supermarket chains have Xmas decorations up on the shelves. We've had a couple of people moaning to us about this, so it may well manifest into a topic!

Onto something else though! Thursday saw the latest JNLR figures come out, and 51% of radio listening done between 7pm & 12pm is done on RedFM, which means myself and Stevie are Number 1 at night. Basically 1 in 2 people are listening to Cork Talks Back, which is really, really, really, really fantastic!!!!

My Xbox 360 arrived in Germany early Friday morning for repair, and was back in a UPS van early that same evening. It remains to be seen if the thing will work, or just explode when its plugged in! With Madden 07, Saints Row and Dead Rising all out in the next 2 weeks, its an expensive month ahead.

After many months of waiting, my life is now complete again. I havent found the holy grail nor have I found the answer to the question, where is Paris Hiltons brain? I havent even found that fiver I lost down the back of the couch. The new season of American Chopper kicks off tonight, and all I can say is god help Sky if the Sky+ box comes back with a failed to record message!
Speaking of Sky, I had the misfortune to see Sky HD running on Friday night. Its misfortunate that I saw it running, because now its going to cost me money. Ive only recently dumped aload of Sky channels because we werent looking at them, and now the thought of getting High Def is really appealing. More channels, with a "look at the hairs in his nose" picture quality, that we'll never look at. Either way I was impressed!

Thats me lot for today, as soon as my PPI submissions have been finished, the blog shall return to the usual bitterness!!!!!

One listener was put through more pain and suffering than usual on last nights show. We took a break from the usual format for about 20 odd minutes as Daniel Long from Tele-Joyce cabs came in to get his legs waxed, in preperation for the Ladies Mini Marathon. As you can see from the videos down below, there was plenty of pain to be had. Obviously this kind of thing doesnt work as well on the radio, as it would on TV, but there were plenty of people feeling his pain. One poor soul was making a cup of coffee and ended up putting a tea bag into the cup, instead of sugar!!!!! Julie, the waxer was waxing at a waxtastic rate, but she had only done the entire right leg, and we had to pull the segment due to time contraints. For the next 40 minutes, Daniel was lying on the floor, near our kitchen, getting waxed. Hopefully no-one drops a sandwich there today! He also decided to get waxed up to his bikini line, and if truth be told there were times in that hot studio that we all saw things that only Daniels girlfriend had seen. The more I think about it, it looked like some bizarre fetish movie. All was needed was a Donkey and a few Gilette Mach 3's.

The lapdancing debate raged on last night, when we had a lapdancer, by the name of Mercedes on the phone. Cue the ride jokes! Im sure theres still alot more to come on the debate, but I would think no more shall be done for a few weeks. We have organised for a listener to go a lapdancing club, as she hasnt been there before, and is completely opposed to the whole idea of what the ladies do.

Other than all of the above and indeed whats down below, today is JNLR day. In a nutshell, radio ratings. So its a case of a P45 or "Well done, but your still not getting a raise" I should know more later on this afternoon. Given the last JNLR book was extremely good for Cork Talks Back, this should, technically be one to look forward to. Thats my lot for today!

Come get yer waxing action!
