Right, just to make the point again.
In light of many people voting in the text poll last night, and from the night previous where many are worried about dragging their kids to the chipper 7 nights a week, heres the deal!
In my wisdom, I've decided to set up a new blog (link coming later) which I will post up recipes from local Cork chefs (and further afield, if needs be)
The recipes will be simple, straight forward and will be able to be cooked by anyone in a short amount of time. So no more going to the chipper 7 nights a week. So you, your better half or even your kids will be able to get something decent a few times a week.
So what I need is for any chefs reading this to email me a simple recipe to either of the email address's at the side of the blog. You'll get a little bit of publicity, ie who you are, where you're a chef. That kinda thing! So c'mon cooks and chef's....pretty please!

The one with sex toys
Due to the topic discussed on this update, it may not be suitable for everyone. It also features one image which isnt particuarly suitable for viewing on your lunch break where you work.
The world is coming to an end. I can smell the burning. The Four Men of the Apocalypse are saddling up on their ponies and are heading this way. The sales of sex toys are through the roof. Hide. Beg for forgiveness. Well at least that'd be the intro to this update if I were a conservative individual with a 747 sized load of morals. But Im quite the opposite. Im very liberal when it comes to these kinds of things, and I do have morals. As little as they may seem.
Am I suprised that more and more Irish people are buying devices that they pleasure themselves with? Am I suprised that the battery companies are more than likely kept in business by people buying devices which eat batteries like Mike Tyson eats children? Not in the least. Finally, liberation for the sexually supressed Irish. The days of hiding in a field and flaking yourself with a few nettles to get a thrill, are well and truly gone. So, no, Im not suprised at all. 85% of people last night who voted in our "Do you own a sex toy?" poll, own sex toys. And more power to them.
Out of respect for she who must be obeyed, I wasnt exactly going to blurt out my dealings with sex toys and so on. But, I've had dealings with them and lets say any of the dealings came out so successful, I should be invited to Wallstreet to ring the bell. Would I be intimidated by them? Not in the least. That said, some of the larger ones, which look like they've been based on a Blue Whale are frightening. And to those of you who own one of these enormous Whale size ones, again I say fair play. You'll have no troubling having kids.
For the blokes out there that are insecure about the size of their captain winky (which seems to be most), you'll have to get used to the idea of larger plastic, rubber and latex devices. Remember, the sex toy can only do so much. Can it bring out the rubbish? Can it build tree houses? Can it be something to rely on if the world is coming to an end? Can it shit!!!! Nothing to be afraid of, she might even love you more for it!
And, yes I didnt really mention toys for men. But all the blokes know whats hot! Ps3's, Xbox 36o's, Scaletrix sets.....

The one with Lurve
There was an oul bit of a moment on the show last night where I suggested, that listeners involved in a marriage or relationship should txt their better half with the simple words of "I Love You". Cheesy as cheddar, but what the hell. Many replied back saying the response they got (which I had speculated on) was "Whats wrong?". Others had smiles on their faces by all accounts, more than likely in the fact that they were going to get a good rattling when said better half came home. See its amazing what 3 words can do! As for me, yeah I sent the txt. Im still waiting for a response! Maybe her phone is still off!
As to not leave out the single folk, the suggestion was made by yours truly that if there's someone in their phone book that they want to get on top of, sorry, go on a date with, then they should txt them as well. That had good success as well, by all accounts. Although one poor crater had got a yes, he felt that her brother would'nt be too impressed. Well, thats what the court system is there for, and you never know, ya might get a few bob for it!
Car parking is going up in Cork, in an effort to make us all hop on public transport. Now, as many of you know, Im not too pushed when it comes to the green issue's. Sure I recycle and so on, but thats it. If a polar bear dies every time I leave the TV on standby, then Im not going to be losing sleep. As has been mentioned before, when there's polar bears out in the back garden rummaging around for food, then I'll plug out the TV. But, Im a big fan of public transport. I think the Subway in NYC and the Tube in London are absolutely fantastic. That said, we have nothing like that here in Cork. Yeah, a few buses and a train, and credit where its due, I like using the Arrow in Cobh to get to the city centre. But thats it. I'd gladly use public transport every day if it suited me. If I could get a train to the radio station, happy days. I'd sell the car and save meself hundreds of € every month. But I cant, so I cant save meself a fortune. I'd much rather hand out €50 to Irish rail every month as opposed to €300 a month to a petrol station! But as it stands, the petrol station's look after me better. The idea thats a few cent on the price of car-parking in the city will make us all use public transport, wont work. Its not enough if you ask me, and many agree. But before we're paying €20 an hour for the privilege of parking the bus, we need plenty of more buses and trains and they need to run at all times. Taxi's are the other option, and they do a great job. But it costs me €30 to get from the city centre to where I call home, so If I was going to Red, it'd be a bit more. If it costs €40 for that, thats €80 a day (back and forth) which in turn is €400 a week! Thats not finacially viabe either:( Anyway, more trains, more buses and for christ sake get that water taxi service up and running.

The one where if you have one too many you may turn Bertie!
Well, thats it. As Hudson said in Aliens...
"That's it man, game over man, game over!"
So May 6th will be the day that the head of the country gets his P45. Unless you've just crawled out from under your rock, Bertie Ahern has resigned or will resign as both the head boffin of Fianna Fail and the chief skull cracker of the country. Ok, so maybe he didnt crack to many skulls, but its done, its dusted. Christ, fill in your own "out of job cliche saying"
The show was swamped last night with callers all trying to get their spoke in. Many of them local politicians. All recognised what Bertie has achieved for Ireland, well specifically the peace process in the North, The Presidency of the EU and the Economy (to a point). But many did seem to think parts of the Mahon Tribunal dont add up and many seem to think Bertie is after doing something dodge even though nothing has been proven!
Did he resign too early? In my opinion, maybe he did. He should have stuck it out, but saying that if you or I were to get that amount of (at times) bullshit thrown around at us, we'd probably decide to go "Era, c'mere, feck that like. Im out the gap". What people seem to forget at times is that Bertie, like other politicians, are human too. They have their breaking point, they have their Popeye moments where they "cant stands no more".
In my observation, there was also a little up yours to the press, yesterday. A decision like this doesnt happen over the morning tea and scones at government buildings. So for the morning papers not to have this as their lead, and reporters being summoned at 10am, was a nice little, final kick to the press.
Did he do anything wrong? I dont know. How would I know? Im not the one compiling the Mahon report. It's certainly not the job of the opposition to take on the role of Mr. Mahon. In my view, Bertie and his finances of years gone by certainly should not have dominated the political process in Ireland the way it did. Fianna Fail folk are at blame as well as the opposition parties. Berties crew were too busy defending the boss man from the contining barrage of shots from the other side. I do take the point that other topics have been trashed out, but Bertie's bobs were the priority. The country has been held ransom almost because of this, and its both parties at fault. Check out a previous post as to what I said to Noel O Flynn and Jerry Buttimer.
Now that he's resigned, whats going to happen. Are we going to be stuck in another brawl of "We need a general election" "Era no we dont". Folks, theres alot more to to do than that.
Just shut the fuck up about it, and get on with running the country and argue over that!!!!!!!!

The one with something pretty demented!!!
On occasion I stop in one of the 24 hr Tesco's after the show. Normally its to pick up a mag or something for breakfast. So thats what I did (or done) last night. Im a huge fan of the self service checkouts, although at times they go a bit nuts. So I was standing in line last night, around 1.30am wondering why there was only one of them in use.
Anyway, there was one guy in front of me who seemed to be having a bit of trouble. So being the polite gentleman that I am, I offered to help. Well heres the demented part of it. It was ROBIN feckin WILLIAMS. I nearly dropped my copy of Empire on the ground. Then after sorting out his litre of milk scanning issue, and this is off the charts...he turns around and says "Are'nt you the guy on the radio?". To which I replied, stutteringly "Yeah.....". "I thought I recognised the voice" he replied. I dont normally get star struck, but there was a moment when I said to myself "Robin Williams listens to my radio show". He said he's been listening in his hotel room on and off the last few nights and he's a big radio buff. He's here on a holiday (after Will Ferrell told him Cork was a great place) and decided to take a wander around due to jet lag. No minders, no entourage, nothing! Just him; a litre of milk and a few other bits and bobs. Demented!!!!!!!!!
