Saturday Night With Miriam - 2nd. August 9.40pm

Welsh Megaman · 01-08-2014 6:57pm #1

CUBBEHS!

The heatwave appears to be over, and rain is on its way. Looks like we could use a brolly...a JOE Brolly, that is! :cool:

On the show this week :- Barrister, Gaelic Football pundit and campaigner Joe Brolly on this season’s championship and matters of life and death. @JoeBrolly1993

Sara Bajc, an American schoolteacher whose partner, Philip Wood, is among the 239 people still missing from Malaysian Airlines flight 370 which disappeared last March - on her search for answers. @sjhbajc @FindPhilipWood

Kildare woman and CF campaigner Orla Tinsley on opening a brand new chapter in her incredible life. @orlatinsley

Food critic Paulo Tullio on his own fight for life. @paulotullio

And Colaiste Lurgan - all 180 of them - perform Vance Joy's 'Riptide' as Gaeilge. @TgLurgan

Tune in on Saturday night, at 9.40 on RTE One.

Not a bad line-up for silly season.

Joe Brolly is entertaining enough and is never short of something to say. I really admire him for donating his kidney but I hope Miriam doesn't rehash the whole story again.

Paulo is a nice chap, I enjoy his contributions to the Moncrief Show on Newstalk, I always thought he was a far better food and wine critic than Tom Doorley. Tom usually just echoed whatever Paulo said.

This has every chance of turning into a Miriam misery-fest.

She'll almost certainly zone in on Joe Brolly's kidney donation, to the total exclusion of everything else he's ever done in his life. Despite the new hope being given to CF sufferers, I can see Mir concentrating on Orla's struggles rather than her accomplishments. The Malaysian Airlines guest whose partner is still missing (and almost certainly will never be found) is self-explanatory, and I seem to remember Paolo telling Sean Moncrieff that he spends a lot of his time on kidney dialysis, so we know that once Miriam gets wind of this, she'll be like a dog with a bone.

Be afraid people; be very afraid......

Joe is already hard at work thinking of something controversial to say!

Take your pick :pac:

Miriam is being a spoilsport tonight by wearing a white wrapper.

There are no white Quality Streets. She must know this.

Still, she has a red dress on under the wrapper so we can tuck in to the red sweets tonight.

Dig in !!!

No rain in Cork today, missus. When it rains in Dublin, it makes headline news :rolleyes:

Welsh Megaman · 02-08-2014 9:34pm

Bonsoir, my little Irish chooms!

Hope you are enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend so far!

A cheeky, fruity little number...but enough about me, let's open this wine :pac:

Harry Angstrom · 02-08-2014 9:41pm

Not another one of these "Let's turn a popular song into Irish for the craic. Sure aren't we great" songs :rolleyes:

Lisha · 02-08-2014 9:41pm

Leggings are not trousers !!

RayM · 02-08-2014 9:42pm

Cad é an cac seo?

Lapin · 02-08-2014 9:44pm

Kind of surprised to find that I actually quite enjoyed that.

Oops69 · 02-08-2014 9:44pm

Do these teenagers actually think this is good , smacks of a a secondary school musical teacher effort, they should have told him to get lost .

dublinman1990 · 02-08-2014 9:45pm

And like the Late Late, it is filled with young students from Colaiste Lurgan.

byhookorbycrook · 02-08-2014 9:45pm

Great plug for Lurgan!

Atlantic Dawn · 02-08-2014 9:46pm

And having a minister for the Gaeltacht who doesnt speak Irish...

RayM · 02-08-2014 9:46pm

The Irish language is not dead. It's just resting.

Welsh Megaman · 02-08-2014 9:46pm

I declare all other music...obsolete!

Johnnythefox4 · 02-08-2014 9:47pm

I'm sick to the teeth of hearing current chart songs being mauled in Irish

Skid X · 02-08-2014 9:47pm

For me, It's a bit too much like the Parish Folk Group trying to make one of the Masses a small bit funky.

But sure fair play to them. At least it's not a misery segment.

Welsh Megaman · 02-08-2014 9:48pm

Miriam has put the Quality Street away tonight, and gone for the 'Cherry Bakewell'.

Skid X · 02-08-2014 9:48pm

The horse I backed in the Grand National is still running so I'm saying Aintree. Final Answer, Chris.

Aubrey loves Joe · 02-08-2014 9:48pm

Those Jonas brothers have nothing on the Lurganites

Harry Angstrom · 02-08-2014 9:49pm

This looks badly edited.

Atlantic Dawn · 02-08-2014 9:49pm

Ah Baywatch, Mrs Eleniak could open my lifeguard hut anytime

Lady Chatterton · 02-08-2014 9:49pm

RTE - Please, please, please spend less money on booze and more money on Miriam's wardrobe.

Johnnythefox4 · 02-08-2014 9:50pm

Dubs aint playin till next weekend Mims

So many misery segments can age an audience terribly!

Skid X · 02-08-2014 9:50pm

Penalty shootout in the Hockey on BBC Three now!

RayM · 02-08-2014 9:51pm

Joe should offer Paolo Tullio his remaining kidney.

Johnnythefox4 · 02-08-2014 9:52pm

Joe giving out about Donegal's style of play tonight, yet if Donegal win the AI he will praise them, and Jimbo to the hilt. He is an unbelievable bandwagon jumper.

Atlantic Dawn · 02-08-2014 9:53pm

There should be a vote next time we have some referendum or other where we can decide for an automatic opt in for organ donation.

Lapin · 02-08-2014 9:53pm

Well said Joe.

The rest of us south of Ballyshannon have been saying that about Donegal football in particular and Ulster football in general for years.

Ah, FFS. Two mins on football and now the frigging kidney.

Didn't take her long.

Paolo would probably fry it with an onion and some mushrooms.

Aubrey loves Joe · 02-08-2014 9:53pm

That's an awful pink shirt.

Welsh Megaman · 02-08-2014 9:54pm

Joe lent Declan Kidney a brolly?!

This wine's really gone to my head.

They got a good deal on the sofas last year, so I reckon they'd have no trouble getting Miriam a spacious wardrobe

Lady Chatterton · 02-08-2014 9:58pm

RTE do misery porn so well

:(:(

Miriam will probably have the losers on next week to discuss their penalty shootout hell.

Lady Chatterton · 02-08-2014 10:01pm

I like Joe Brolly a lot, he can be a bit of a hot head but he appears to be a very decent man.

Atlantic Dawn · 02-08-2014 10:01pm

He's looking fresh, has he lost a few pounds?

He has said some very nasty personal things about players over the years though

Skid X · 02-08-2014 10:01pm

Joe Brolly gave a near identical interview to Ryan Tubridy last year.

Maybe they could cancel Miriam's show and just have "The best of the LLS" over the Summer?

Lapin · 02-08-2014 10:02pm

Paolo and Miriam should swap jackets.

Welsh Megaman · 02-08-2014 10:03pm

Paolo has brought the Quality Street!

Lady Chatterton · 02-08-2014 10:03pm

Eire Óg Hurling club in Ennis will be thrilled to see Miriam and Paolo sporting their colours - red and white!
