The No RTE Chatshows Summer Thread 2019

Welsh Megaman

Just as well Wales never qualified given their choice of footy kit...

Say Your Number

Started watching this match from the 80th minute on and enjoyed it, all that was missing was a birra Brian Kerr.

Say Your Number

Just seen one of the Australian players is called Polkinghorne, what a name.

TCM

Thank God for that.

Welsh Megaman

Congratulations Norway

More 4 till 00.10. It was alright in the 80s.

Been on loads of times but I've never seen it. Good laugh.

WM, I was entertained by some of your lot last week. Went down to the local alehouse and they had an open mic night on. Usually a core few lads and lassies with electric bass turned down low, 2 accoustic guitars and a mandolin. Anyone extra is a bonus. Four people arrived in the other night with fiddle flute and banjo anr it evolved into a 12 person bluegrass session. I was chatting with one of the women outside for a smoke and she told me they were from Wales. I didn't catch the placename. They were part of a contingent over to Rosses Point for the Sea Shanty Festival.

Sounds brilliant.

I'd love to have gone down to that festival. but I was stuck working on my kitchen over the weekend. Ironically I was in RP 4 times over 2 days dropping off and picking up someone. A 2-3 hr pub crawl between the two pubs and a lift home would have been a lovely Sunday afternoon. Maybe next year.

Swedish player called Blackstenius, some brilliant names at the Women's World Cup.

"There are various types of gangs operating in Ireland at the moment in all our major cities.

Punks, Mods, Rockers, Teds, Greasers, Futuristics, New Romantics, Blitz Kids, Skinheads, Rudie Skinheads, Boot Boys, Hells Angels, Bikers and Ska Boys

And we have some representatives of various gangs on the programme tonight"


It sound like a Brass Eye interview, but it's vintage LLS as Gay sorts out the gangz of the day in this classic clip from 1983

No mention of death or disease, bizarrely.

France were robbed in the Women's World Cup, should we feel any sympathy for them

I got a fierce sense of discombobulation every time George Hamilton mentioned Cascarino

I mean, I know it's perfectly logical that there could be a woman called Cascarino playing in the Womens World Cup but my old head is still stuck in the last century.

Say Your Number

Just seen the GAA are bringing the club finals forward to January, and they are talking seriously about a two tier system, and I'm still trying to process the super 8s and the finals being played in August

Welsh Megaman

My god, if England win the Women’s World Cup, they won’t stop going on about it.

Just like the Irish won’t stop going on about Italia ‘90.

Skid X

Just when you thought it was safe to turn on your television ...


Next Saturday on RTE1 at 8.15pm ... Twink Through The Years :eek::pac::eek:


Might be best not to google that one, by the way.

What's on tonight, be the hokey?

Ain't Glasto, anyway.

Does anyone else try every year to watch Wimbledon out of nostalgia, but get bored by the time it's 15 love?

Best of Glastonbury, BBC Two at 11.05pm

Ol' Donie

That's like, 100 hours away.

Everything is so unfair.

Anyway, I've been listening to that new Irish Beatles podcast, called Nothing Is Real. I recommend it for evryone. Might stick on the Anthology DVDs for a while.

Ol' Donie

Why are new potatoes called new potatoes?

Are most potatoes not new when they're harvested?

I dunno.

Atlantic Dawn

Promo's on the TV page for Tommy Tiernan Show (finished last week) and Ireland's Favourite Folk Song (finished 2 or 3 weeks ago), such a professional organisation, ffs it's run like a Transition Year web site.

Keith Duffy was at least more philosophical in reaction to that clip.

I can't get enough of it, to be honest.

Love it, always have done.

There's a good Radio One Documentary on Veere Goold, A Waterford man who got to the final in Wimbledon and was also convicted of Murder in Monte Carlo and exiled to Devil's Island

Come on Hollywood, make that movie

I want to like it, just find it boring. Maybe a couple of hours in a row might get the interest going?

Maybe.

Listening to the new Springsteen album, the man still has it, hope I look anywhere near as good if I reach that age.

Welsh Megaman

Twink in her own TV special?


*shudder*


The remake of ‘Arthur’ starring Russell Brand (I know it’s crazy, but it’s true)?


*double shudder*


‘MRS BROWN’S BOYS D’MOVIE’?!


SHUDDER OVERLOAD!!

Euphoria by Loreen and now ABBA playing while Sweden celebrate third place in the Women's World Cup, hope they play Meshuggah next.

Can't believe they dragged Jon Kenny into that Mrs Brown's boys atrocity

Full episode of eighties Sunday Night staple Murphy's Micro Quiz-M here

This was an odd show, Mike Murphy and lots of co-hosts giving away lots of prizes to families in a vaguely technology based show.

The highlight every week was a computer game played every week for the kidz, which made most of us lust after a Commodore 64 or Spectrum ZX81

At 27.22 a rare opportunity to hear Mike Murphy giving a running commentary of the two young lads playing Donkey Kong rip off 'Killer Gorilla', with a few bits of advice from Mike
"Up them steps and jump over the barrel ... lep up there and grab the hammer"

If RTE commissioned Mike Murphy today to do a similar 80s retro video gameshow battle contest, I would pay my Licence Fee

There's a feature length doc in the schedules on Wednesday which might be of interest (RTE1 9.30pm)

'Shoulder To Shoulder with Brian O'Driscoll' was previously shown on BT Sport, it is about Irish Rugby and how the North and South played together through the troubles

Say Your Number

The Hangover on RTE 2 now, it's eerie how much your man looks like Brendan Grace, is this another tribute to him?

Skid X

Speaking of Brendan, I was surprised to learn (on TVCream.co.uk) that he sang the version of I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester, which was copied almost verbatim by The Wurzels who had a huge hit in the UK

Brendan's version was a piss take of this song, but it was a good one

I literally bumped into Brendan O'Connor at New Order in Trinity a few weeks ago.

I was coming past the Bag Search and he almost took me down.


Do be vigilant as you enjoy your Summer festivities, Brendan can appear at any time out of nowhere.

I've an itching for an RTE talk show, no Mir and no Tommeh - they should put some kind of filler Summer Saturday Night Talk Show on air again

There is virtually no evidence of Good Grief Moncrieff, Sean Moncrieff's 1996 effort which sank without trace.

Although he did get Bill Murray to film a trailer for it
