The Late Late Show - May 17th 2019

Skid X

Hello,

Lets get this party started

Santa Claus lookalike and former member of The Dubliners John Sheahan is on. Don't worry, he isn't sick but he is turning 80 and pals including Declan O’Rourke, Damien Dempsey, Ralph 'Tickle On The Tum' McTell, Phelim Drew, and Steve Wickham are coming along to give him the bumps


Nine-time Irish champion jockey Pat Smullen has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, sadly. You and I both know that this interview will be more about the Big C than the Gee Gees


Internationally-successful authors Liz Nugent, Jo Spain and Patricia Gibney are "Three of the leading lights of the Irish crime fiction scene" I didn't know that was a scene, did you? So that's them in to talk about the crime novels and the scene and that.


Ireland Goalie Darren Randolph is in, and he is bringing his Mam Anne Randolph who is a singer, apparently. They are both still well down the list of famous Randolphs, currently led by Randolph The Red Nose Reindeer and Randolph Duke from Trading Places


The crap from the Antique Repair Show will be back as good as new, with the contestants having done all the work themselves. No honestly, Ryan.


Then "there's music from Soda Blonde, a new band formed by four of the five members of Little Green Cars." That sounds like the time I got ditched and everyone else said they were going home but then ended up in Coppers and never stopped going on about it. That's when I retired from public life and decided to stay in on Friday Nights



Anyway, my work is done and my Pizza is ready.



Edit: Sad to hear Internet famous Kitteh Grumpy Cat has passed away today

The Pint on table to Musician ratio is all wrong in that photo

I am going to wake up hungover tomorrow having paid silly money for that record on Ebay :pac:

Atlantic Dawn

Evening all, I'm on the porter tonight, hopefully some good chooooones.

Welsh Megaman

Eamonn Holmes in the audience? :eek:

Welsh Megaman

Antiques restoration.

PsychoPete

Just turned this on, I thought she was talking about a cat or something

Atlantic Dawn

Hands her the baby and then....

Skid X

That's nuts.

The adoption policy in America appears to be 'Finders Keepers'

You wouldn't get that here.

Ol' Donie

G'day mates!

How are ye goin' , ya flamin' galahs?

A WINNER FROM CARK! :eek:

Pinch Flat

REM went really downhill after Monster

Welsh Megaman

Didn't know Michael Stipe was going to be on.

Skid X

That story is a bit like Wuthering Heights


With less Cathy and Heathcliff

Hannibal_Smith

I really enjoy Patricia Gibney's books, I'm only tuning in to catch her.

He deserves a bit of privacy, the young American boy I mean.

PsychoPete

10,000 dollars to spend on hookers in Las Vegas, yes please!

Ol' Donie

I never, ever see or hear of Darren Randolph without thinking if that "Randolph Scott" bit in Blazing Saddles.

FixdePitchmark

Fine Keeper - Fine mother

Welsh Megaman

Janet Street Porter?

Skid X

"Don't mention the Leaving Cert" ... says the man who interrogated a group of Leaving Cert students on this show a few weeks ago.

PsychoPete

Please, God no

Ol' Donie

Great OP, by the way.

I genuinely laughed at loud at the John Shehan isn't sick bit.

PsychoPete

Was that Bill Cosby?

Welsh Megaman

He must have a foot like a traction engine!!

Ol' Donie

Who voted D'Arcy?

Stop messing, this is serious.

Skid X

The Dad looks a bit like Bill Cosby

Can you say that anymore?


Edit Like what Pscycho Pete said

You in Austria mate?

How are the Alps looking?

FixdePitchmark

It is actually class to hear the Dublin accent on the new generation of black kids coming through.
Not sure if that is racist.

But hopefully will be easier for these kids on u17 team versus what it was like for Paul McGrath - the so called only black in Dublin.

PsychoPete

Taking musical advice from Sharon Corr, seriously!

FixdePitchmark

she is very confident - I'd say she is good craic

Edit Like what Pscycho Pete said

I was going to say, in response to your Wuthering Heights comment on the last story, that it reminded me of that Tim whatsisname, you know Tim "The Toolman" Taylor, that film where he finds his kid.

Only then I remembered that film is called Jungle to Jungle or something, and I thought I would certainly be on dodgy ground immediately.

PsychoPete

Seem like a sound bunch of people

Mena Mitty

The new Mary O'Hara

Welsh Megaman

Streets Of London!

Eymmuroutraged Danu

I am confused?

Why is she on? Does she have a mate in RTE and trying to publicise herself using the prop of her son as an excuse to be here?

FixdePitchmark

fair play to her

but why is she on ?

Ol' Donie

Jeez, good voice!

FixdePitchmark

good singer - but can she score goals

we need a striker

elperello

Woman for all seasons.

Skid X

Darren is as cool as f**k

Sharp dresser, always looks serene on the pitch



He's here because his Mammy dragged him along so she could sing, but apart from that, he's the man.

Mena Mitty

I wonder was she a Bunratty singer fado fado

Welsh Megaman

Darren's thinking, 'I wonder who's on Graham Norton tonight'.

PsychoPete

Hopfully she gets some good recognition from this, really good voice

sully123

Best thing I seen on late Late for years

FixdePitchmark

poor Darren - top level keeper

his ma - still being an Irish mammy

he only came home to get the clothes washed

is that sexist

Welsh Megaman

'Genuinely' no love for Miriam in the thread poll.
