'Love Your Orchestras'

All joking aside todays caller reminded me of a character in Nenagh when we were kids in the 70s . He was the main cleaner of the church and would come to work in a dress and carry a handbag. Some man to do flower arrangements for a wedding or funeral. He was never ostracised by anyone. He was just C*****. Once you got used to him you never noticed. Damn good accordion player too, and I fcuking hate the accordion. He'd remind you of Freddie Mercury in the "I want to break free" video. Always had a fag stuck in his mouth while polishing the altar.

He died a few years ago and got a great floral send off.

That's hilarious, and yes, not surprising.

My own Granny's mother, another Tipp woman, left her husband and wore men's suits (exclusively) from the 1920s on and did various other things that probably mean she'd be characterised as a lesbian or trans today. At the time I think it was just seen as another rural eccentricity. People mostly got on with it in those days. That's something that's lacking today, the ability to just stop agonising about yourself, or other people's business, and get on with it.

It's a bank holiday Saturday and it's overcast Joe -- cast over -- so to speak. It's a disgrace. What are we paying Met Eireann for?

sligojoek

I'm cast down with the overcast weather too. Looking at the rain for the last 2 hours. I need to make some cuts with an angle grinder and mix a bucket of adhesive but can't in case I get electrocuted. I'm going to give it another hour and if it doesn't stop I'm off to the alehouse.

Take a break from the electrocution for one day, you'll be just in time for the 2.30 in Galway if you're so inclined.

I just placed a bet on Eclats Des Mottes, to try and save the day. If he doesn't bring home the money, I'll be talking to Joe on Tuesday to try and get my tenner back.

Is that the canary off the gas ad?

Funded by the license fee message at the end of the show. Surely that is what should be said in reference to Funny Friday, if we're all being honest about things. Funny Friday is not free that's for sure.

Great stuff from Zoe Conway and the RTE Concert Orchestra.

And you’ve a fat chance of getting any of the “prizes” at it either unless you’re a relative or friend of RTE staff or the “comedians”. Saw that close up for myself at Bloom. Eg, one of the “winners” was a woman sitting in front row next to the crew member who was taking photos and seemed to be known to her. More of us need to penetrate the audience of future Funny Frydaze where possible and observe see the picture.

It may have been a one-off suchlike situation as the RTE tent at Bloom is rather small and being in Dublin it may have attracted more folk close to RTE. Best positions are near the front and aisle. I couldn’t get near either position and had to squeeze into a space, with a person telling me it was reserved for somebody else. I suggested there was plenty of room for a few (which there was) and sat resolutely down. I can be very stubborn in real life, in front of real live people, and impossible to shift under these circumstances. I always have a little convo stored in my onboard computer and it goes something like this “I didn’t realise it was a ticketed event?.... So on what grounds am I required to leave?”

Cat’s real life bites are way worse than the online whimpering mews!

We need brave “Lahvlahn Yellowjackets” to show our faces at de Unfunny Froydays and May observations which may prove or disprove my paranoia.

Fr Iggy on the News At One just now talking about rap music at funerals and other unseemly goings-on. Surprised he's not talking to Joe instead.

I didn’t hear de promo, but surely Joe couldn’t resist this topic. I’m sure they have line up somebody from the church of the holy Booz and fags.

I want an airplane, a globe and a stuffed cat on my coffin.
