It was a weird one last night. As like last year, Im helping out with the company Xmas card again this year. After the show I trucked in town with the oul Digi cam. First stop the lough, on me hands in knees when the paddy wagon drives slowly by. Then into Pana, again same paddy wagon drives slowly by. Then decided to go down to Connolly Hall area for a nice shot of the City Hall. I know, 2am in the morning and theres some guy walking around a hooker pick up area, with a digital camera. Guess what kiddies, the SAME paddy wagon drives by again. Im suprised I wasnt picked up for soliciting with a digital feckin camera!

As for a comment (yes I get them now and again) on yesterdays blog, I hope I wont be running around on Xmas eve...itll probably be the day or 3 before hand. Thats more or less it for now. Again short and sour I know, but what you gonna do!

2 Updates in 2 days...god whats goin on? There was a nice reaction last night to my Richard Pryor tribute, if you didnt hear it, I will play it again at the start of the show tonight.

I was quite sad putting it together as Richard was an absolute legend. He will be missed!

I finished King Kong on the 360 half an hour ago. Nice gaming experience, had me shitting in me pants once or twice. Played the monkey off it since Friday! Not much else going on really, except I am up the walls work wise.
Xmas shopping isnt done, although the tree is still standing!!!!

It was very sad for me to discover last night, that my favourite comedian Richard Pryor has passed away. I will have a special little tribute to the greatest comedian ever on the show later on tonight!

Dont know if God will give you a break with the Fuck word, but youll have the angels laughing!!!

Rich - RIP!

360

Friday morning saw the Xbox 360 arrive into me little hands. I picked up Project Gotham Racing and Madden 06 as well as the Wireless internet adapter. Looks like the money for Xmas is gone now...oh well.

The games have blown me away, Xbox live has blown me away and trying to get my pc and xbox 360 to see each other over the network nearly caused me to blow up. Anyways, all is sorted now. Theres not a great deal I can say about it

a) Its 2.36 am

b) Im feckin tired

c) Its rather bloody fantastic!


Mobile phones up for grabs on the show all week so you've been told!

Finally

I was dreading making a particular phone call this morning. As some of you will know, I pre ordered an Xbox360 a while back. A week ago I was told theres a good chance I wont have it on Friday. Rang the store in question, and lo and be-feckin-hold they have one for me tomorrow morning. So roll on an afternoon of Project Gotham 3 Racing. Besides that, Ill hopefully be hooking it into the wireless network in the gaff so that explains why my gamercard is on the right.

Plans for Xmas are non-existent. It took 2 attempts to get the right Xmas tree, and with all the lugging and pulling Id say I need a bit of traction to sort me back out. Loads of KY given away last night on the show, and hopefully some more this evening. I was suprised the amount of people who wouldnt come on air. God, its not as if Im going to ask them how to apply it or anything :)

So that be that. Ill be on here over the weekend to give my impressions of the Xbox 360. I know I have hyped the thing up in my head something savage, but Im sure it wont disappoint!

Here we go again

I need a good dose of epsom salts to keep this blog regular. Truth be told, Im getting lazy in me ould age and Im really busy with the show to boot! The countdown begins for the Xbox 360. I have one preordered for quite some time now, but I have been told I may not get it on the release date (Friday). This will annoy seven bells of shit outta me, considering I was told "€20 deposit guarantees your console". Well all Ill say is we'll have a "special" Xbox 360 show next week if I dont get it.

Got to see Mr and Mrs Smith over the weekend. While its not great, its not shite either. 5 / 10

The decision on a Xmas tree has been made, thankfully. After much roaring and shouting we're going to buy a decent artificial one. At least it wont stink the house up and fall apart, well not until it has to be squeezed into that attic. Thats it for now, me brain is bothered (more than usual) so I wont hold ye up any more.

Xmas lights on the show tonight!

Thank you for your assistance on all this.

I was like Tom Cruise himself over the weekend, with one exception. He was running away from the Aliens, while I was chasing them. All the video shops kept the release date for War of the Worlds, which suprised me to be fair. Normally I get most of my DVDs from the states, but some titles recently are coming out here first.

You know your getting old when your in of a Friday night waiting to see whats on the Late Late and now you know your sad running around the place after a feckin DVD.

As for our caller Jane who needed a bit of help, from Thursday nights show I will be announcing in just under 30 minutes what we will be doing.

Thats it for now kiddie winks. Laters

Ok, Im gonna keep this short. Hopefully by Sunday or Monday at the very latest I will be able to announce what we can do for one of our callers last night. I was blown away by the genrosity of Red FM listeners last night. Absoultely amazing. Im not sure what we can do yet, as I have to get the go ahead from the head honchos but one of the main suggestions last night was to open a bank account and people can lodge money into that.

So thank YOU for all your support and genorisity. Heres hoping by this time next week we can ALL bring a little happiness to someone who is so, so deserving.

If ANYONE thinks they can help out this situation with ANYTHING, please email me over the weekend
