In the spirit of the recession, I’m going to recycle this image from a previous post from last year (but the feeling is still there in full!)…
By the way, as you may know if you know me (or if you follow me on twitter!), I’ve been on Christmas FM presenting “Christmas Stories” as part of the Breakfast Show for the past few weeks. Tomorrow, Christmas Day itself, I’m on for a very special show – which I’m presenting myself – from 9 to 10am. I may even go in dressed as Santa Claus! (- like I did in work… see pic below!)
So, if you’re in Dublin or Cork – unwrap your presents with me on your radio! The station is on 100.3FM in Dublin and 106.7FM in Cork. If you’re anywhere else in the world, you can tune in via the web site. You can also read the news team blog there and check out some of the stories we’ve been reading out in the mornings!

THINGS THAT ARE DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. No, I’ve had enough booze, thanks.
2. Thanks, but I don’t want to have sex.
3. Sorry, but you’re not really my type.
4. Burger/Kebab/Curry? No thanks, I’m not hungry.
5. Good evening, garda. Isn’t it a positively lovely night, tonight?
6. Oh, I couldn’t possibly! No one wants to hear me sing karaoke.
7. Gosh no, I’ve absolutely no interest in fighting you.
8. Thank you, but no- I won’t make any attempt to dance as I have no coordination. Sure, I’d hate to look like a fool!
9. Where is the nearest bathroom? I refuse to pee in this car park or against that wall.
10. I must be going home now as I have to work in the morning.
Ok, I’ll be back to normal blogging speed shortly… what’s slowed me down recently is just the massive volume of work I took on with RealRadio 100.3, along with a few other little things.
Anyway, here’s a couple of things in the meantime…
But!… no! I’m not going to talk about that… I’m going to go back to February this year, to something I forgot to blog about back then – when I was doing work experience – helping out on Breakfast with Bernard & Keith on i105-107.
I was doing some office work, lining up phone calls for the lads, putting together the “best of bits” for ad breaks later in the day and contributing a little bit on-air – including this one time, when Keith – after remembering that he’d forgotten to pay for the €40 worth of diesel that he’d filled up on at the local petrol station – sent me down there with my mobile so that he could talk to the manager… live on air:
The phones were actually down in the station on the day, so we couldn’t ring the service station – but in the best tradition of “making the best of a bad situation”, I drove down to the service station and rang Bernard on his mobile – and he held his phone up to the mic. I reckon it came out quite well!
But!… no! I’m not going to talk about that… I’m going to go back to February this year, to something I forgot to blog about back then – when I was doing work experience – helping out on Breakfast with Bernard & Keith on
