The Late Late Show 19th December 2014

CountyHurler

I bought that DVD for The Guarantee... you know the one with Peter Coonan, about Anglo and all that... Heard it getting great reviews, so I bought it.... Looked at the back of the box.... 73 minutes.... I went rubbing away at the box to see if there was a 1 missing from in from of the 73, but alas there was none. Have I just bought a second turkey for Christmas?

Bought that recently as well.
Disappointing. Poorly put together IMO.
Got the impression it was biased towards Lenihan and against Cowen.

sunbabe08

well folks, its been fun. wishing yea a happy and peaceful merry christmas and a happy new year

Ol' Donie

You know those crappy Boots presents?

Is it not the case that everybody buys them when they can't think if anything else to get, and therefore everyone knows how much thought went into them & how much they cost?

So, really, they just say "I was obliged to get you something, and we both know I'm just ticking a box here, my dearest sister in law?"

Hello!
Sorry missed last night....out doing some Christmas revelling.

Watched take that this morning. God tubs nearly ruined/bored that.
They are such gentlemen though.

Gary's little face about the "mean" joke. God only knows what stupidity the eejits in rte had come up with. Grrrr.

Plus why wouldn't they introduce Gary to conor/the lad on twitter....Every week they do some rubbish or other with an audience member yet they couldn't stretch to rosie AND Conor???

amdublin

^^^ I am a bit ranty this morning. I'm just sick of bad interviews from DLB. He's cr@p.

Tubridy read out the joke that Gary Barlow wouldn't read out later on in the show... It was...

What's the difference between Bono and Santa?
Santa gives you things you want.

Side note: When googling for the proper phrasing of the joke I found this.. Take That joke tops cracker poll Tubridy just swiped all the jokes from this article and poll, got the researchers to print them out and put them in crackers...

I am a bit ranty this every morning.

Oh behalf of everybody on the thread, we understand...

amdublin

Well that Bono joke is completely stupid. And can see how Gary thought it was mean in the sense that "why would I want to do a cr@p joke about someone?"

I think it reflects well on GB that he wasn't suckered into telling a slightly nasty joke on live TV just to humour the host.

It would have been easy to just go with the flow, but he did the right thing.

I honestly think 99% of the viewers could have prepared a better interview of Take That than the one we endured. They are all experienced interviewees who could have told funny anecdotes, stories from their tours, whatever instead of reading out rubbish fecking cracker jokes and dwelling on former members. He even shut them when they had started a nice acapella version of Back for Good.

I thought it was more demonstrative of how painfully politically correct and inoffensive that Barlow and the lads have had to be throughout their careers. I mean it doesnt say much when Tubridy is prepared to read out a joke that you've turned down, cos you're worried it may be seen as being offensive.

I think it's a good joke, and I think Bono would have thought so too. But I'm sure Barlow was worried about the headlines in the papers tomorrow.

Okay obviously I am being totally thick but I don't get it!!!! Someone (CH) please explain the joke to me!

Okay the joke is a jocose comparison of Bono and Santa Claus:

How Santa Claus Works: You write him a letter , send it to him early in December, and he brings you the present you ask for.

How Bono Works: You turn on your PC one day and your itunes starts downloading the latest U2 album "Songs Of Innocence" automatically.. i.e. that you didnt ask for..

nb. You see that's the key to the joke, the "didnt ask for" bit...

It's a fairly mild joke.. I guess that Gary was anticipating the "TAKE THAT Bono" headline in The Sun the next day..

(or maybe he didnt get the joke and didnt want to read it out just in case).

Just one more thing, Conor got to meet his heroes backstage

Take That superfan Conor Kenny got to meet his idols in person tonight.

The 18-year-old, who has Down Syndrome and is Take That's biggest fan, was in the audience when the pop trio appeared on The Late Late Show.

CountyHurler

Did you hear the news about Tubridy, Amdub... Seems like you're back in the game...

Strife of Ryan: Tubridy hides heartache on Late Late Show after split from Aoibhinn Ni Shuilleabhain

But just 12 months later they’ve pulled the plug and Aiobhinn, 31, has moved out of their love nest, with pals insisting they’re broke up for good.

A source revealed: “This is the real deal for them. She moved out of the house about three weeks ago.”

The ex-couple’s agent Noel Kelly confirmed: “Aoibhinn and Ryan are no longer together. They will remain friends and ask for privacy at this time.”

amdublin

I know!

I think Aoibhinn can do so much better.

Hitchens

He was fighting well above his own weight division there anyway

I didn't get it last night. Thanks for the explanation this am

I thought it was something relating to Bono "still haven't found what I'm looking for"

Obviously I'm a bit of a dope

All very suspicious.

The timeline as we know it is that AmDub gets in to the Green Room and then a few weeks later Tubs and Aoibheann break up

You have got to wonder??!!!

But it’s understood they called it a day three weeks ago just as preparations were under way for The Late Late Toy Show.

What week was it that Amdublin was on the show?

sunbabe08

Well this is explains his behaviour on the toy show. & the snippy atitude he had last night towards the guests on the show

I dunno, they've been broken up a few weeks, and she's completely moved out... I'm having a candlelight vigil here, but unfortunately I think it's all over for good..

sunbabe08
