    I didn't think Hooky was all that bad but fair play to the lads, Daymobrew, great job. €1,000 to charity, fair play to George, I can't believe he laughed it off :D but it was an excetionally generious amount to give.

    This is such an annoying perception - that is why I wanted to get my point about it out there.

    I happily cycle around with my 2 year old on the back of my bike because I feel that it is not dangerous.

    If you go to the news talk website and go too the 'live' tab and then the 'listen back' tab in the pop up box you'll be able to pick out Georges show from earlier today - its in three parts so should be easy to find the cycling part

    'Listen Again' isn't up yet for today's show.

    I sent in my video during the show this evening as I realised that I'd sent it to the wrong e-mail address a few days ago (sorry Rothar!). In the accompanying text I invited George to come for a cycle around town some time, day or night, so he can see things from the perspective of the saddle. I'll keep ye posted. :)

    Before it goes live on News Talk, I have put a (admittedly poor quality) MP3 recording on the LikePlace blog.

    Good on Shane (you?) and Daymobrew, you came across very well.

    And good on George for putting his money where his mouth was, I am very impressed with that and €1,000 was more than he had to.

    Still would have liked to have heard Kona mind you...

    It's up, you need to go into live and then listen back. I'm listening to it now because customers hi-jacked me so didn't hear it all, bloody customers, how dare they look for service.

    But you said you were going to hide in the toilet listening to the radio (I was a little concerned as to what anyone would have made of overhearing an exchange between daymobrew and George Hook on the merits or otherwise of RLJs taking place in the cubicle next door:))

    I used to record TV themes (Airwolf, Hardcastle & McCormack) from a very crappy TV speaker - no NICAM stereo for me!
    I recorded the piece to my Sky+ box - yeah, you can record the radio stations it broadcasts.

    I think he would have risen to George asking me if saw him as "The Great Satan". :p

    good job man!
    Its wierd but the huge increases in cyclists commuting combined with stupid comments being made by journalists et al. is creating a real division between motorists and cyclists. I myself had 2 of my friends give out to me over my accident yesterday. Their opinion was "getting knocked down serves you right for trying to cycle to work! Don't you know how dangerous it is?"

    I got the same thing after my accident yesterday "get a car" and "madness cycling in this weather". thanks.

    Yeah, was on the way there and some Tommy Walshs started asking me to measure furniture but I did hear most of it. It's typical, nobody walks into the shop all day and when I want a couple of minutes to listen to the radio they start asking me questions. On that note, I remember going into the changing booth of a champion sports last year and from the cublicle next door I heard a womans voice saying, "stop you're hurting, I'll call security" etc....... I was half freaked out and then a male voice goes "that's from the latest film" etc....... feckin speaker.

    Very short only 1.47 meters, I thought it was going to be more around the 54 inch mark myself.

    I've been following this thread since I heard George's comment last week and though "Oh he'll regret saying that" :D

    The piece last night was really good but as soon as it was over the next text he reads out is one from a woman driver who said "I just saw 3 cyclists break red lights - I pay road tax and they don't!!"

    I wish George would correct people on texts like that, the same way that well-informed presenters like Sean Moncrieff and Eamon Keane do. George proceeded to do a piece on movies and DVDs and got every reference, actor name and movie title wrong, much to the chagrin of the movie guy :rolleyes:

    He's like my dad - getting old and belligerent but I'll still always listen to him :o
