Corpus Christi was one of the topics brought to our attention on Get it Off Your Chest Sunday, and we left it kick off last night. I wouldnt be Mr.Religion or anything but I think to have a full blown Catholic procession in the middle of the city center is a bit much. I believe nobody wants religion shoved in their face, and 20,000 people marching in a parade is definitely shoving it down your gob. As some callers last night mentioned, you dont need to march in a parade to prove your faith. Maybe it should be held elsewhere...the Lee Fields for example. Plenty of parking, and Im sure the old dears can feed the seagulls at the same time. As alot of people pointed it last night, its an 80 year old tradition. Thats all well and good, but with this old fashioned stuff, Cork can never be a real metropolitan city, like Dublin, Paris, Manchester, London, New York etc.etc.etc. One caller said last night it was a march of hypcrosiy, given the child abuse scandals that have gone on for years. Well the church turned a blind eye to it for a long time and obviously these 20,000 did as well.

As I said I wouldnt be Mr.Religion, and the thoughts of going into a church sends a chill up my spine sometimes. The bullshit the priests rabbit on with, hundreds of people just sitting, kneeling and standing. Alot only there, because they feel they have to!
Maybe I have no faith left, maybe Im not full of spirituality and I really dont know where this has come from. Yes, like alot of you, I was dragged to Mass every Saturday night. Do I blame that, No. So I dont know where the blame lies, if any blame should lie anywhere. Ironically I visit the graves of deceased relatives and have a "quiet" time with them, as I do from time to time, be it at home or otherwise. So, theres a drop of faith left in me somewhere. Its there, somewhere!

Feck, the was a fairly serious opening.....More Robert Plant tickets to giveaway tonight. Make sure you check out the photoblog, lots of emails about it over the last few days...Nice one.
Thats my lot for now...Im off to.............................................

Been mad busy day. Photoblog has been updated. Robert Plant tickets and The Frames, live at the marquee tickets to be given away tonight!

Ok, videos and pics on the way. If your offended by bad language then it might not be for you. One of the vids, was shot during a song. The song was played because, like 2 caveman in a perfume shop, we didnt read the instructions. The wax hardened on my arm and I had to rip it off bit by bit. Single handidly, the most stupidest thing Ive done in some time, if not all time on air. Looking at the vids, Im like a big child with an extremely low pain threshold. Maybe it was the sensation..yeah thats my excuse...the sensation! Well hopefully all the World Cup widows and anyone thats not into the soccer enjoyed it. Given the amount of calls and texts alone about it, I say they were well entertained.

Seriously though, I can sympathise with all the ladies who get this done on a regular basis. As for the nether regions, we'll some of ye are out of yer mind. Id handle that area with an oul Gilette M3 Power. While some might say you'll slice into it with a razor, Id prefer to suffer a slice and go to hospital with my balls hacked up than put some wax on it!

For all my suffering (yes I know Im a baby) last night, Im blaming Dave for it to be honest. He showed me the naughty nads box moments before we went on air, knowing damn well Id suggest we get waxed up on air! Well thats my theory anyway. We both popped our hot waxing cherries. The more I think about it, my waxing cherry felt it was popped by some guy hung like a donkey, who was in prison and didnt see action for 5 years.

Enjoy the pics and vids..and be wide for the swearing!!!

The OFF Air Agony

The On Air Waxing

Just in the door, and yes the waxing was real and very bloody painful last night. Video coming later today!!!!!!!

Ill admit the last couple of weeks updating the blog, have been kinda slow. Ive been pretty busy, so time isnt on my side lately. Will it settle down, will it shit!

One of the competitions we're running on the show has got a great respsons. Gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. Yup, the South American commentary. 52.59 seconds last night. Unbelievable or what. Granted I was caught out by Colm last night. He recorded his own goooallll and looped it. After 40 seconds, I was after spotting the loop, but either way I was nailed! We have one more lot of tickets for the CCOSC Midsummer Madness BBQ on Saturday, tonight.

Quite a number of people have been commenting on Dave Macs flatulence during the week. Its amazing what gets people going and creates talkability. Either way it was only a bit of fun. Maybe next time one of us will shit ourselves.

The next Argentinian game is on tomorrow, and Cork Talks Back is the offical supporters wing of Argentina in the World Cup, it'll be a tense time! Lots of soccer fans out there, and its a fine line keeping all entertained, from them to the World Cup widows. Its a wee bit quieter in the early hours of the show, due to the bloody matches but we're still pulling off solid shows. No matter what medium your in, its always gonna be tough to compete with such an event like the World Cup!

Anyway, thats my lot for the day. I may well be clambering up Hungry Hill over the next few days so If Im not on the air on Sunday night, Im after getting a banger!
