'He got a bargain' :eek:

Jaysus Gráinne, it was a wedding not a fecking auction.

Limo rides are usually reserved for people living closest to the venue. I was shortlisted for a limo ride to the Irish Derby one year on Eamon Dunphy's The Last Word, and Eamon let slip beforehand that the winner would come from Dublin. Surprisingly, the winner came from Dublin.

Would now be a good time to talk about the John Creedon quiz?

Why did I think John Creedon was involved?

I think the dress could be beautiful in a different colour.

In the early days of Tubs' hosting of the Late Late there was a photo caption competition one night. Photo was of Bertie Ahern, and two other high profile FF politicians laughing their heads off.

My entry was: (Bertie speaking) "Seriously lads, I REALLY am a socialist!" (very topical & relevant at the time).

Cue the announcement of the winning caption at the end of the show which was practically an identikit of mine. My heart skipped a beat ..... and then the winner was announced. Surprisingly, the winner came from Dublin.

I've wondered every now and again.....

You're right, it was a John Creedon Mystery Voice Competition where Pete McCarthy was the right answer but through a series of misunderstandings my entry was never submitted. I'd put it to the back of my mind..... until tonight......

Wexford. Not much of a trip.

Wohoo, love this tune.

Say Your Number · 16-09-2017 11:16pm

Is that PJ Gallagher's brother singing?

Lady Chatterton · 16-09-2017 11:16pm

Dublin song wins !!!!!!!!

sligojoek · 16-09-2017 11:19pm

Lady C, I was looking for a photo of Paul Shelley tonight for someone who doesn't use the internet. I came across this article from 2000. There's a few Clare references you might like.

Poor Pete was very young when he passed away. I remember getting a free audiobook recording of his book McCarthy's Bar with the Sunday Times and I used to play it for daughter when she was a baby, so she'd sleep. She seemed to prefer him to Lynn Truss's audiobook Eat, Shoots & Leaves.

I used to love those freebie CDs and DVDs we used to get with the Sunday Newspapers....those were the days...

Aw thanks SligoJoe, as my granny used to say, you're as handy as a small pot

Lady Chatterton · 16-09-2017 11:28pm

Googlebox has just started on TV3, it beats Lincoln for entertainment value.

Pity he died so young. He had a few books left in him. My newborn son spent the winter of 01/02 in hospital. (Misery section.) IO used to play that CD going in and out from the hospital every evening.

God, isn't that a coincidence! My daughter was born later - 2006.

My daughter was in the Special Care Baby Unit for a little while and there was a nurse from Galway who was Trad mad, she used to play Ceillí House and The Chieftains for my daughter. Memories of those days never leave you. My daughter is busy issuing orders in this house these days, I'd say your son is the same.

Lady Chatterton · 16-09-2017 11:45pm

Har, I wonder have the two Pauls from Cork been dropped from Googlebox?

The blonde woman from Wicklow has a look of a young Tracy Piggott, I think.

Harry Angstrom · 16-09-2017 11:46pm

I'm still waiting for a Leon and June, or Giles and Mary type for Irish Gogglebox.

Giles and Mary are fecking hilarious!

I love the two older ladies (with the Michael D Tea Cosy), the two Dublin ladies (in the advert with PK) and the Ryan Family from Limerick.

Any idea who's presenting Late Date tonight? I hope it's not Aonghus.

I got my dates wrong there. It was 2002/3. He's an inch and a half taller tham everyone else in the house, so yes, he is busy issuing orders.

Edit. That should read. "He's an inch and a half taller than me and I was the tallest in the house.

I got a bit of shock recently, I was commenting on the programme on my cousins FB page and one of the Paul's liked my comment. Thankfully, I was in a nice mood that day and it was a harmless comment

Spot on, she looks very much like a young Tracy.

Even Irish Gogglebox is going for the misery angle. So different from the upbeat C4 version.

That David lad looks very weird, doesn't he? :eek:

The Doors are playing on Late Date!!!! Waiting to hear who is presenting.....

Best live gig of my life was the LA Doors in the Half Moon Club off Cork Opera House a few years back. They'd recreated Whisky a Go Go from the 1960's. Unforgettable night.

Lady Chatterton · 17-09-2017 12:14am

Har, I'm heading over to the Radio Forum, if we're going to derail a thread, lets do it in the correct forum

Don't know where else to post this, but I swear I just heard Lucy on Living with Lucy do a voiceover with the words "Wexford Football Manager Davy Fitzgerald", in a show about Davy Fitzgerald.

Or else I'm going mental.

Hey Donie, at the start of the programme she referred to him as the Irish Hurling Manager, I didn't realise we had a national hurling team until tonight

yeah she called him the football manager alrght,bad editing

Safe to say Lucy's not a sports person.

The producers of that show won't care, though - it's cheap to make and it pulls in enough viewers. :rolleyes:

Getting back on topic, I'm still gutted for Mayo, even with Lee Keegan's gamesmanship during Dean Rock's crucial free. Nine finals they've lost now since 1989, and five of these they could have won.

At least it was a great match - it would have been a massive anticlimax if the Dubs had run away with it, especially with it being Mayo's tenth Championship match this year.

Will be strange seeing the All-Ireland finals in August next year - unless, of course, Pope Francis pays Croker a visit...
