    Yesterday a couple of minutes past 4pm, Siobhan, with sports news, said Wexford GAA were complaining about lack of tickets as there were "many more counties in their club"............oh, dear.
    She's always making mistakes. Any word with more than three syllables seems to be a challenge for her.

    On Sunshine's promo for Dublin, Lucy Kennedy mispronounced the alumni of Trinity - sounded like aluminium!

    I have always questioned her tone delivering the sports news... She always seems to me like she's giving out to me

    "She always seems to me like she's giving out to me"

    Brendan Ogle responds "That's the first time I've heard someone in RTE acknowledging the 150k figure"
    Wilson quickly backtracks "from between 100k to 150k"

    Best one I every heard was John Ryan from Clare FM many moons ago talking over the end of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas (Is You)"...

    "And that was Mariah Carey there with All I Want To Do For Christmas Is You".

    He apologies a few minutes later once he'd realised his gaffe but it's vastly improved the song for me since! :)

    There was a kind of 'WITHDRAW' moment during the 8:40 sports bulletin this morning.
    Actually the next 15 minutes are worth listening to when it goes up on the player.
