F You

Well, nearly a week on Ive finally got a few minutes to update this. Down to business, at the moment I think the price of a pound of butter is absolutely over the top. Id nearly buy a cow and make me own. Yeah, thats it, one of those talking cows on tv. Ebay here I come.

Right "Fuck You Asshole" echoed around the city and county last week. It richoched from New York to LA if the emails I got were anything to go by. In hindsight, it wasnt the most professional thing to do. Granted I did announce that I was throwing the professionalism out the window. Why did it happen, simple! For once I let a guest get the better of me and the temper just reached critical mass. I have a pretty short fuse off the air, but never before on the air. Shit happens I guess. Again, Im not making excuses, and for anyone that got offended I apologise again. I have to say I really appreciated the extremely large quantity of texts, emails and even voicemails left on our 1850 number. Those words are something that every caller wanted to say over 2 nights, but had the decency not to lower to yer mans level. Maybe people like him only understand one level, the gutter level. Some people were wondering did I get into trouble, yes to a point. I had a few chats, shall we say. But the postive fair outweighs the negative in all of this. I was at a wedding on Friday last and it was the talk of the whole thing. As we were leaving the wedding, a guy came up to me and asked me was I Victor Barry from Red FM, to which I replied yes. He said "Thanks for standing up for the northside" which again was a very nice comment! So there, I dont know what people were expecting me to say about Fuckgate (!) on here. There have been more hits than usual to the blog since Fuckgate. Maybe people were expecting me to write some mad, delierious, losing my mind shit. Not this time, that happened years ago!

Right so, the blog shall hopefully return to normal updates (again!!!!) from now on in. Other than that, all is good. Im about to preorder the Xbox 360 over the next day or so. Ill keep you posted!!!

Apologies!

Apologies for the delay in updating. But Im up the walls and an extended bit of DIYing with 2 bastards of shelves hasnt helped. Either way, Im not going to delve into what happened with the infamous "Fuck You" comments last week for another day or 2...tops!!! Sorry again!

Hey how. Hundreds of emails and texts from last night. Its been a long day and I dont have time to give the full story on here till Sunday or Monday at the latest. I have a wedding at 1.30 tomorrow and a tonne of stuff to get done on Saturday. So drop by Sunday or Monday ;)

Vic

Late Late

Yup, a bit late today (again). Few personal things to take care of this morning. What a show last night. All I can say is if you missed it, shame on you. Tears, screaming it was amazing listening. I did feel very sorry for the girl who rang in and was reduced to tears by another caller, who said she was as common as muck and not the brightest bulb in the box among many other insults.
At times I just wanted to tell the guy go fuck himself, but the show isnt called Cork Talks Back for nothing. His whole the northside is full of scum was way out of line. Considering the woman Im going out with for the last 5 and half years is from the northside herself. But!!!! I kept the head. We have no choice but to follow it up tonight as so many people wanted to get on, but again I just didnt have the time!

My humming and hawning about getting an Xbox 360 is still on going. I know I probably will get one, but theres some mad debate going on inside me head about it for the moment!

Ill try and get another update in later, but Im off now. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for some very big news coming very soon....possibly!!!!

Finally

Finally I get around to updating. Just couldnt fit it in yesterday, or some bullshit like that! We got a pretty good response last night to finding love online with 75% of people having a good experience. Twas certainly an eye opener, or a mouse clicker! Just a quick few snippets from last night!


Late N Live Top 5 things overheard at the Asthon Kutcher and Demi Moore wedding (26/9/05)

5 – Maybe Im wrong, but isnt that Victor Barry over there, getting kicked out

4 – I know her son is getting married but will the Moore women ever just stop crying

3 – So this would make Asthon Bruces son in law would it?

2 – Mother and son married, there gonna have some freaky kids

1 – Do you Asthon take your mother

The Asthon Kutcher and Demi Moore wedding was a low quay affair and Demi was crying through out the whole ceremony. Well, what do you expect. Her eldest son was getting married

THE Progressive Democrats have gone to outer space to preach their election manifesto, with Mary Harney battling as a Jedi knight against Darth Maul Pat Rabbitte in an innovative new leaflet being distributed to third level students this week. Ya know I never pictured Mary as a Jedi Knight…but more of a Jabba the Hutt.

The newest season of American Chopper kicked off last night on Discovery, so it was +d. Came home around 1, watched one episode, Chris Rock on Leno, Corrie and I made some plain awful sandwiches. Im sure some of you will know Im a huge fan of American Chopper and find it one of the most enjoyable programs on the TV at the moment. Ive been watching it since the get go, and have never got bored with it.

I must also say well done to, to very close friends Dave and Joanne who had a bouncing baby boy this morning at around 11am. Its great news! So what else is going on, well I started hitting my latest project (which is going to hopefully be revealed very soon) yesterday with a bag of nails and pens. It took alot more time than I thought.

PPI Radio Awards (Irish Radio Oscars) are almost here. The shortlist of nominations will be announced sometime next week I would imagine and the the ceremony (!) itself will take place later on in the month. Im in 2 categories, Documentary and Spoken Word programme. Cork Talks Star Wars and Cork Talks Back. Heres hoping at least one will make the short list! Anyway, thats it. Oh yeah, Im also thinking of reintroducing the forums on the site, so keep yer eyes peeled!

Sorry, full updates later on. 2:30am, too tired...long day, yadda yadda moan moan...laters!

Tis all gone mad. I will do my very best later on to give a full update. Try back between 8 and 9pm. If not it will be after the show!!!!

Last show of the week

Last show of the week, and what a weeks it been. I was astonished at the balls of this small time coke dealer to ring up yesterday and say he didn’t get a fair go the night before. He came back on last night and used every line under the sun. It made for riveting listening. The whole thing exploded when a recovering drug addict rang in. She was in recovery for the last 4 months, and took no prisoners with the dealer. I’m sure some of you might have heard some of it on the CTB promo today!

It’s going to be a busy weekend as I have a few projects on the boil that need a lot of work over the next few days. For whatever reason, I couldn’t get out of the bed this morning and fell back to sleep with the dog, who conked out for hours!

I wouldn’t consider myself a petrol head or anything, but I do have a soft spot for certain cars, Hummers and The Ford GT 40 to name 2. Just out of curiosity I took a look at the car buyer’s guide last night and got a price of €112,000 for a second hand hummer. I’m off to pick it up at the weekend. It’s true; I’ve got enough money to buy a Hummer hubcap!


When I did manage to get out of the leaba I caught an edition of Top Gear. Low and behold they had Mr. Clarkson driving around the place in a Ford GT 40, valued at £112,000. Note the STERLING!!!!
Some day Im saying to myself, some day.
The weather is fairly feckin depressing today. The price of bread is terrible, and don’t even get me going on the cost of a bag of coal.

On a different note, I must say a big up to all at the gaff.net whove been pming me and giving great feedback over the last few days. If anyones on there, my registered user name is corktalksback. That’s about it for now kids, so have a good weekend. If theres anything of note Ill be on here over the weekend, but if not…Ill be back on Monday!

What follows, is last nights liners and the Top 5! Your getting an exclusive now, as I didn’t get to use these last night. They might turn up this evening with todays, ya never know!!!

BEATLES legend Sir Paul McCartney fell down a hole while performing live on stage in the US. The music icon, who is currently on tour, was in concert at Tampa Bay when he slipped through the hole his piano was supposed to emerge from. But hes alright, luckily his better half , Heather Mills, was there to give him a leg up

THE Government has spent €100m on reports by outside consultants since 1997. Figures compiled by Fine Gael chief whip Paul Kehoe show the Coalition has spent €99.94m on 1,044 reports since coming into power in 1997. The government have said they’ll get to the bottom of this once and for all, but we’ll have to wait 3 weeks for the report to come back!

A NASAL spray could at last provide the answer to the common cold. Makers Procter & Gamble don't claim to have found a cure but believe their product can stop the cold in its tracks It will market the spray under the name of Vicks First Defence, claiming it will reduce the chance of developing a full-blown cold by up to 5pc if taken at the first sign of symptoms, even cutting symptoms themselves by up to 40pc. 5pc, still though its something not to be sneezed at

A leading Dublin children's hospital is recognising the power of humour and its patients will now be able to benefit from a prescribed dose of the giggles just like the good doctor ordered. That’s all well and good till Michael Jackson appears wearing a huge pants, giant shoes and a red nose


Late N Live Top 5 signs your after getting into a Cork Taxi (20/9/05)

5 – By the time 4 euros is up on the meter, the driver has told you his life story…twice

4 – The drivers ID photo looks like it was taken at Puck Fair in 1973

3 – By the time 8 Euros is up on the meter the driver has told you their life story a staggering 9 times and that theres no guards on the road at this time of night

2 – You ask “Is it busy tonight?”

1 – Elvis is driving the cab

Better Late than Never

Way behind today, and getting 2 tyres for the car didnt help. Wednesdays arent one of my better days. Lots of feedback from the drug topics last night, in particular on the PROC, The Gaff and radiowaves. Also thanks for all the calls and texts. We had so much calls last night, that we've decided to continue tonight and get some more comments.

The porn also seemed to ignite, but my mother has almost disowned me because of it. Im sure she thought I led a very sheltered life :) I felt it was only fair that I spoke the truth when I was asked if I had any porn in my collection. Whats good for the listeners is good for the talk show host.

I still havent got around to watching Crash or The Hitchhikers Guide, but roll on this weekend, as for next weekend I have a bloody wedding to go to. Im just not a big fan of weddings period, maybe thats why I havent walked down the aisle yet. I hate all the fuss, and Im sure people are saying "Sure, Fuck it, dont go". I wish. Its a family wedding so I have no choice, and anyway they're a really sound couple. If I can get out of the designated driver role, it mightnt be so bad :)

The online poker continues, and Ive now won over €1000!!!!!! Not bad for a beginner. Pity its only Play money :(

I got home last night, and watched my Sky + (doesnt have the same ring as Tivoed) Karl Spain wants a woman and Gaybo. Im really happy the Karls show is doing so well, its very funny. I have to say the Gaybo series has been brilliant. Both intriguing and inspirational! Thats it for now!

Looks like some of the family have been dropping by the blog. Big up the down under crew.

Lots of people were having a go off each other (not that way, dirty fecker) on air last night, all about pornography. It made for entertaining listening, but there was very little female listener participation. Looks like the statistics were true then!

What a disaster on the way home last night. The car is leaking or was just low on coolant so I had to stop every 15 mins to let her cool down. I don my mechanic outfit this morning and fill her up with 2 litres and not a leak in site...so far. Other than that I get home from the show early last night, around 12:55. I set up some Pitta in the toaster, and watch The Coronation Street wedding on Sky +. It keeps me interested till the Toaster pops. Corrie keeps me there till the cliff hanger NOOOOOO and then thats it. Im on the net checking email and having another round of online poker (which reminds me :) ) and hit the bed at around 3.

Thats it for now, Im not feeling very bloggy today. I need to jump in the shower and have a shave, because at this stage I look like Grizzly Adams.
