Imagine if a heterosexual male was talking about his promiscuity so openly on live telly. Would no doubt be lambasted by the press.

But them gays have a free reign to say what they want. Sure aren't they right craic altogether.

Ally Dick

He is typical Tallaght - loud and crude and thinks he owns the place

Believe me, he's not typical Tallaght!

He may be a lot of things, but that is definitely not one of them.

A segment built around that teenline might actually be practical and informative.

They need to get qualified professionals in to talk about these subjects and have less general interviews with the bereaved.

Spot on Skid.

Sometimes I wonder who actually sets the agenda for RTE programmes.

We could start a game with this link to the same site, cross off each one of the photos shown as they appear on this seasons late late.

http://www.nkmanagement.ie/celebrity-gallery


also something even more funny than Al Porter, when you look at the bottom of the page it allows to you show either 10, 20, 50 or all photos, 33 shows up whether you press 20 or 50.

i am guessing at least 15 will appear this season.

Ally Dick wrote: »

Ha, imagine a place where Al Porter was just a typical resident. So everyone was just like Al Porter.

Just think about that.

Right, sleep well, folks.

What the hell is a talent agency?

Would he represent me if I had a talent for, say, doing crosswords?

One of my favourite Derry Clarke recipes is Beef Bourguignon. Given the weather we're having at the moment I might make it tomorrow - it's wonderful comfort food.

Have you a link to that recipe? I was thinking of doing something with beef toorrow.

Ol' Donie

Just watched the last bit on +1.

Yer one who got the prize was brilliant.

Lets have a look ...

Chortle 4/5

And yet he’s still just 22 years old… no wonder he got onto the radar of the ‘act most likely to earn a million quid’ award.

http://www.chortle.co.uk/shows/edinburgh_fringe_2015/a/24287/al_porter_is_yours?review=4366


The Scotsman 4/5

Young Irish fella Al Porter has the gift of the gab and no mistake. He’s not so much kissed the Blarney Stone as had it surgically attached. It’s his first Fringe gig and he’s only 22 but he owns the room like a pro twice his age.

Not too shabby at all.

I'm sorry I'm just after spotting your post now.

Here is a link to the recipe, I add chopped peppers to the recipe, I also use red wine instead of the port

Sorry Celebrity BB has my attention atm!


I popped in briefly last night. Of the two minutes of what I saw the Naomi Campbell interview looked painful - reminded me of Mia Farrow or Juliette Binoche interviews... Naomi "it's not a diet" I don't restrict myself.


The Al Porter I found relatively funny I admit but I do hate that RTE style of how they deal with comedians on the lls - so we'll bring you on for an "interview" and you just go mental on your stand up act.

sligojoek

Thanks
Mrs D. I'm sitting here starving all day waiting for you to get back to me. Only joking. I had an Indian meatball/kofta curry instead. If you're interested I'll type up the recipe for you.

I typed it up anyway.

Meatballs / Kofta
1kg mince. beef/pork/lamb
1 2med onions,, very finely chopped
2 Ginger, garlic, chilli finely chopped.
3 1tsp chilli powder, cumin, corriander, turmeric. (or 2 curry powder and 1 chilli powder)
4 2tsp garam masala, 6 Tbsp corriander stalks finely chopped. salt& pepper
1 Fry onions gently for 10 mins.
Add 2 and keep frying for 5 more mins.
Add 3. reduce heat and stir fry for 2 mins. remove to bowl and cool.
In a large bowl combine everything in stages including 4.
It's much easier if someone else adds the other stuff while you handle the raw meat.
Give it a good mix and make 25 to 30 meatballs. Leave them to settle in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.

It might seem like a lot but there will be enough to feed 6 people or the remains can be kept in the fridge or frozen.

I'll type the rest tomorrow.

If this is not the right place feel free to move to a different forum.

Lady Chatterton

Thanks very much sligojoek, I'll definitely give that a go!

sligojoek

shopping list.

I'll put the instructions up tomorrow.

I normally use minced pork from aldi or lidl 6 or 8 quid for 2x500g
Lamb or beef can be very fatty.

Sauce
Mixture of seeds (optional but better)
1tsp each of cumin, onion, fenugreek and mustard seeds. not all are necessary.
or
If you can get to an asian supplies shop ask for panch pareen or pureen sp? 2 or 3 quid a bag and lasts for ages in a jar. use about 2TBsp of that. Can be fried with onions for any curry.

4 - 6 med onions
3 bay leaves
chillies, 4 garlic 2x thumb sized ginger, all finely chopped
2tsp each cumin, corriander, turmeric. (or 3 - 4 tsp curry powder)
1 tin chopped tomatoes
10 cherry tomatoes halved.
pint of warm water or stock

tomato puree or small cup of passata.
Garam masala or Chat masala
Fresh coriander
natural yoghurt

You have to be in the humour for it, but even so.

I accidentally saw him live once, i enjoyed it. He's extremely professional, knows how to work a room. I believe he is "billy barry" trained. He headlined the night and although i'd be more of an alternative comedy fan, i was impressed at his professionalism.

Considering all the atmosphere had been sucked out of the room by a segment in teen suicide, I thought he did well to get the crowd going again. There'll always be a demand for camp comedy. Didn't know about the Billy Barrie thing, though looking back now he did have that sort of performing arts persona.

I enjoyed Al's joke about liking Ryan when he was doing Rose of Tralee

the crowd reactions were priceless, people laughing and people absolutely disgusted!
I miss that about the late late, it's all very safe now, i remember garry moore was on back in the 80's and his power created a force that blew the audiences head off....things like that....and Pop will eat itself too...(all on youtube)

sligojoek

Sorry I took so long. Hope the meat isn't rotten.

Method.

Fry the onions in a wok or pan on a high heat for 5 mins in 3 batches to burn off some moisture.
While the 1st batch are cooking warm some oil in a large frying pan and add the seeds (panch pureen) and bay leaves.
Add the 1st batch of onions once the seeds start to pop. Add the batches as they cook. Once they are all in the big pan add the chopped garlic, chilli and ginger. These will need to be fried on a low to med heat for 20- 30 mins, just barely sizzling. Keep stirring and scraping the bottom on a regular basis .
The meatballs can be fried in the original wok or pan for 5-8 mins in 3 batches and set aside while the onions are cooking.

At this point the onions will have reduced to about 1/3 of their size. turn the heat right down. Add the powdered spices and mix well into the onions. Sizzle very gently for2-3 mins and add the tin of chopped tomatoes and use the liquid to deglaze any spices stuck to the bottom. Add chopped tomatoes raise heat to medium and cook for another 5 mins. Scrape the bottom with a wooden spatula if stuff starts to stick.

Put this paste and passatta and half the stock or water into a cassarole dish or dutch oven. Bring to the boil and add the meatballs. If it needs thinning at this stage add the rest of the water. If it needs thickening add a dollop of tomato puree or a handful of lentils.
Simmer for 20 - 30mins.

Just before plating add 2 tsp of garam masala stir and serve with rice
Mix chopped coriander and 1/2 tsp garam masala with a few dollops of yogurt in a bowl. Spoon over curry at the table.

Footnote.
It's a long process but the end result is worth it all. I normally put the lid on when it's done and eat it the next day. Chillies or chilli powder to be used at your own discretion. I normally use Tesco birds eye red chillies or green ones from the asian shop.
