    A Transvisties (Spelling?) confussed mossy so is she (spelling?????)

    No offence to tranvisties ment?????

    confussed

    Mossy why are you watching Telly Bingo, Your life at this hour of the night comes down to a man dressed up as a woman pulling balls from a hat.

    Also i think its a Drag Queen, There might be a differance there i dont know what it is.

    They could have at least hired a trannie whose teeth didn't look like they didn't look like they belong'd on a PG TIPS commerical

    That's for the grannies that watch it in the afternoon

    This show is just complete and utter B0LL1X!

    His name is stage Shirley Templebar, and he is an annoying git who looks like an old man in drag with a wig. His voice is annoying, and his prancing about is annoying.

    I'd make a better woman than he could, and that's saying something. The skirt I'd have problems with (too many lumps) but other than that I should be grand.

    RTE are trying to market Telly Bingo as a "fun show" and supposedly hiring that THING to present the show was part of that plan. Can't see how he would actually increase viewer numbers, I couldn't listen to his voice for a full show.

    I think the Blizzard of Odds Colm Murphy summed it up perfectly
    "If i were to tell you tha Japans most popular tv betting show was hosted by a croaky voiced transvestite you would probably laugh at their oriental naffness.But no,this is actually in Ireland"

    Personally the fact that the rules of the show are so generally bizarre the fact that the host is an insane trannie hardly even registers

    Humm. Im not sure if we can call "IT" a person. I think you should refer to "IT" as "IT" and not name "IT".

    Are RTE using this "IT" to waste our TAX money or trying to just loose all possible ratings? I dont even think ANYBODY watches Telly Bingo anywho. Its repeated on Network2 at aboot 12 during the week. They should be showing some good porno. Thed get more viewers ........ and you know it! :D

    what's with the singing at the end of the programme? is it easy to win money on it


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters


    Dont do it! Its a giant lie to make you watch it. They say you can win money bit (I'd Say) they configure it so nobody gets any!

    i thought it was a bit dodgy that the draw wasn't made live. oh well i must think up of a different scheme


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters


    See. We have discovered RTEs plan! now they have to make a new one and put that "IT" back onto the dole. I wont be paying tax anymore as id be paying "IT"

    Well least Telly Bingo was *kinda* worth watching before cause Liz Bonnen (spelling?) was on it
    Used to make The Den worth watching as well :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters


    Yes. I did watch it a few times back then but now "IT" is doing it nobody watches it. I think people used to watch it before "IT" started to present it.

    I think its all due to the RTE cut backs. They couldn't afford a male and a female anymore so they went for a 2 for 1 offer.

    Jesus, you might just be right there. ITV digital should have done that and saved themselves a ****load of money :D
