Last night heard the world premiere of the trailer, Snakes on a Bus. I had the following email from the film company this morning!!!!

Dear Mr.Barry
Thank you for your promotion of Snakes on a Bus. We would like to point out, that this was a teaser trailer, and the full length advert for our forthcoming movie. As a matter of fact, we would also like to point out that, its not just the number 2 bus, but all buses in Cork, even the ones that venture to Crosshaven and Fountainstown. Over the next while, please expect a copy of the full length trailer, and some Snakes on a Bus promotional items!
Thanking you kindly
All @ Langdan Pictures

So there you have it. Something definitely worth looking forward to. In all sssssssssseriousnessssssssssssssssss (sorry) Snakes on a plane is well worth a look. Its the first Summer blockbuster (ok I know its one of the last of the summer season) that hasnt disappointed.

Over the last couple of nights, it has amazed me that teenagers are ending up in hospital on a regular basis just because they have a skateboard or a nirvana tshirt on. In particular the peace park seems to be the place to go, if you want a spin the back of an ambulance. For years, I never understood the Nirvana clad 14 year olds wandering around that area, and indeed the Paul Street area. I still dont to be honest, but if truth be told they seem to be doing no harm to anyone. Some of them even look like they could be living in the Webster household in Coronation Street. For some reason, quite possibly the dutch gold voices in their heads, the Celtic jersey wearing, skinheaded, I love me mam tatoo wearing fraternity seem to have taken it upon themselves to sort it out. Sort what out? If this crowd are so concerned about other teenagers wearing Nirvana t-shirts and balancing on skateboards, maybe they should arrive, tribe like, in the shops that sell the said items. A few choice words, provided by 4 cans of Dutch Gold would surely encourage shops to stop selling Nirvana shirts and skateboards, and replace them with Celtic Jerseys, head shavers and removable tatoos!

After porn, its what the internet was made for. Bitching and Sniping. I have turned off the comments mode for public viewing. Why? Well there was a fair bit of abuse being thrown around on the comments page, and people arguing back and forth. A blog isnt the place for it!!!!! So thats that then! I can still read the comments, but everyone else cant. If anyone wants to take issue with something, then drop a mail to corktalksback@redfm.ie

Comments pages on blogs are for leaving a comment on the said post, not starting a discussion.

In reference to one posting here last night, Eimear and Dave do a rockin job, and the CTB production team has never been better. As for Risteard coming back on a Sunday night special thing, that wont be happening either! Whats happened to the show on a Sunday night? Basically we used do Get if off your chest every night of the week. Simply put, we didnt have enough room for everyone, so we decided to move GIOYC to a Sunday night, to a resounding success! Given theres a huge buzz about the show at the moment, I agree maybe I and the show have lost its touch, because all we seem to be doing now is grabbing things by balls. And thats better for everyone, in particular the listener!

Normal blog service shall resume tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Finally a few moments to blog! Where do I begin, well my Xbox360 decided to die the other day, must say Im not impressed at all. Tried all the cures around the net, but none work. So Im without that, and if truth be told, Ill always squeeze in a round of something on it at least a few times a week. Im looking at 10 days at least for it to be fixed, but there may be another solution...we'll see what happens!!!!

Ive always been a motorsport fan and the whole mod car scene has always caught my eye. Its only recently I bought a decent car, and have the car buzz more than ever. Last Saturday, herself was gone off to Ennis and I had a whole day and night to scratch me arse. Through the wonderful people at A&E up the country, I swung 2 tickets and packed a buddy into the car and headed off for Slam 06, in Punchestown. Bar the AA route planner advising to exit at Junction 7 on the M7, which didnt exist, either that or Im blind all went well and I got to that famous racecourse after about 3 hours of driving! It was the first time I was at a show like this, so I dont know how good or bad it was, as I have nothing to compare it against! Whatever the case I really enjoyed it, plenty of good looking cars and the chance to rub myself off a Hummer and a few Ferrari's. The latest round of the ProDrift IRL was going on as well. I never saw drifting in my life, and I know there were an awful lot of listeners talking about it in the past. It totally blew me away, and I have to say Im now addicted. Roll on the next rounds!!! No scobes or their mobiles, a few half naked women and decent chips, what more could I have asked for!

Thats about my lot for now, Ive been extremely busy organising my entires for the PPI Radio awards, which is one of the main reasons Ive not been blogging away. Anyways, this is my stand in producer, Don


Laters!

Update coming later on.....

Slam Expo 06

I ended up at the Slam Expo in Punchestown yesterday. Really, really enjoyed the drifting and the day itself! Check the pics below and my photoblog for loads more!

Simple Really!

There is little or no point in my going into a big long winded rant about last nights show. For anyone with half a brain, actually a quarter of a brain...hang on a duracell battery in your skull acting as a brain, you will know that condoms save lives and stop the risk of contracting a selection of STIS. Anybody that thinks different needs to be seen to by a group of men in white coats, driving a Ford Transit van.

Wearing Condoms = No dick falling off incidents or unwanted carpet crawlers.

Not Wearing Condoms = Dick exploding and lots of ankle biters.

As any of the condom makers will explain, no contraception is 100% fool proof, but as a text read last night, wearing a condom is like wearing a seatbelt! Its good practice!!!!! Im in no way qualified to lecture teenage listeners on the show, and Im no genuis, but for christs sake use a condom. Teenagers need to be armed up with the knowledge, and its the schools are falling flat on their big holes by not providing an adequate sex awareness class! And alot of parents cant seem to handle the fact of their kids might well be out doing the deed, with no knowledge. Then when they get pregnant, all hell breaks loose. Why, are the parents pissed at their daughter for getting up the duff, or pissed off that they were too shy to explain the ins and outs of sex and what a condom is for! Case closed, and I promised I wouldnt rant!

Anyway thats it for me, Im off to the SlamExpo tomorrow so check out the blog and the photo blog Sunday or late Saturday night for some pics!
