Tis the last in the series...aaw, I hear you all say

Time for the curtain call!

YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING...

Actor Brendan Gleeson on his new film, 'The Grand Seduction', the chances of an Oscar nomination and future plans ahead of his 60th birthday.

Singer and actress Angeline Ball on marriage, cookery and Imelda Quirke's legacy.

The Irish Women's Rugby Team are back home after their incredible journey to the semi finals of the World Cup :- they re-live that adventure.

Nadine Coyle on life in L.A., motherhood and working with Michael Flatley.

Here's Nadine when she was '18' years old :pac:

If only the show was as good as the Opening Posts!

Skid X · 22-08-2014 6:25pm

.. although, to be fair, that's a good looking line up.

Especially Gemma Hayes

:):)

Thanks Skid

RTE bosses saw your post in last week's thread and re-named the show!

They couldn't get Eamonn Holmes though

Okay let's get the ball rolling on this thing... I nominate Skid and Harry to take the Ice Bucket Challenge..

I also nominate Lisha and Grey to throw buckets of water over each other, while wearing t-shirts, then mud wrestle for say 10 minutes, and upload the results to youtube for everybody to watch after Stay There With Miriam...

Hee, hee - you know the rules, CH. You don't get to nominate until you have taken the plunge yourself. You could get your buddy JonathanAnon to help!

JP Liz V1 · 22-08-2014 9:11pm

No Niamh Horan?

I'd say you'll have plenty of volunteers to throw a bucket of water over her.. or maybe even collapse a scrum on her..

I'd definitely donate all I could afford, to charity, to see that.

Alright then, I'm not going to put my ugly mug on the internet and reveal my real life identity - but this is a great cause so I made a wee donation. If anyone reading this has a few quid to spare, and if you haven't donated already, I'll invite you to do the same.

And next time I meet any of you in real life you can throw icy water over me or get me to do some kind of forfeit

NormanNicetouch · 23-08-2014 6:27pm

I'll throw in an extra 20 quid if she manages to get through the whole show without shrieking at any of the guests to 'stay there'. Her demands seem to get more hysterical by the week.

Welsh Megaman · 23-08-2014 9:30pm

Evening all!

Here's Patrick Stewart doing the Ice Bucket Challenge in his own inimitable style

Ol' Donie · 23-08-2014 9:35pm

Evening chaps!

What's happenin?

Settling in for my first Miriam of the year. When's the other lad back?

Ol' Donie · 23-08-2014 9:37pm

Ha, health insurance ads. It's an RTE chat show, that's for sure.

Welsh Megaman · 23-08-2014 9:39pm

Whoops, I forgot to include Vimes the Dog in the curtain call!

Aaw, don't look at me like that!

Welsh Megaman · 23-08-2014 9:42pm

I'd say Rachel Allen has nominated Oliver several hundred times!

Brendan Gleeson. It's an RTE chat show, that's for sure

One of the good regulars, mind.

Skid X · 23-08-2014 9:46pm

Nice to see Clippy the Clip Machine getting an outing, he will to be match fit for when Tubs comes back.

dublinman1990 · 23-08-2014 9:46pm

Evening All.

Everybody, do you think that Brendan Gleeson is better off with or without the beard at all?

He looks better with the beard on him IMO.

Skid X · 23-08-2014 9:47pm

I wonder is he a bit jealous that his son is about to be more famous than he is?

Ol' Donie · 23-08-2014 9:48pm

Didn't notice he had a beard. Just looks like Brendan Gleeson to me!

Ol' Donie · 23-08-2014 9:49pm

He he.

Doubt it, both of them always seem dead sound to me.

sudzs · 23-08-2014 9:50pm

Loved the Calvary beard.... so stroke-able!

Ol' Donie · 23-08-2014 9:51pm

If he had one if those silly name contraction yokes - see Pstew above - it'd be Bglee.

Just wait till the Bryn Terfel biopic!

Ol' Donie · 23-08-2014 9:52pm

And Miriam would be Mocal.

I don't like those names.

sudzs · 23-08-2014 9:55pm

Miriam whey-heying... :rolleyes:

Thargor · 23-08-2014 9:56pm

DING DING DING! We have the first "Stay There" of the night!

Welsh Megaman · 23-08-2014 9:56pm

Anyone seen 'Calvary'? Any good?

Ol' Donie · 23-08-2014 9:57pm

Ha, this one would be A-ball.

Welsh Megaman · 23-08-2014 9:57pm

Mmm...delicious.

And the food looks great too!

*sits back smugly*

Roger_007 · 23-08-2014 9:58pm

Just wandered in here. Was the decor designed by someone on a bad LSD trip?

sudzs · 23-08-2014 9:59pm

24 years ago!! :eek:

I seen it in the cinema a few months ago. It was a brilliant movie to watch.

Most of the cast are well known in Irish circles including Dave Mc Savage (Bishop) and Dylan Moran (Posh Fella).

Aubrey loves Joe · 23-08-2014 9:59pm

Is that a D4 French accent?

Welsh Megaman · 23-08-2014 9:59pm

24 years since 'The Commitments'! :eek: :eek:

Skid X · 23-08-2014 10:01pm

I was at their reunion concert in the O2, it was great fun.

They never really did a big concert when the film was out, for some reason.

Was Sean Hughes from Eejit Records there?

Skid X · 23-08-2014 10:04pm

She would have been in that film with Marlon Brando, Divine Rapture, which got cancelled.

It might have given her a start in Hollywood

Lisha · 23-08-2014 10:05pm

I read Roddy Doyle's 'the guts' recently. Some if if it was looking back at the commitments era. Very enjoyable read and funny at times, a bit raw at other times.

efb · 23-08-2014 10:05pm

Hey! Love the thread title!!

Stay there!

Welsh Megaman · 23-08-2014 10:06pm

What's the dillio with this 'Divine Rapture'? Why was it cancelled?

efb · 23-08-2014 10:06pm

Stay there! Boom!

sudzs · 23-08-2014 10:06pm

STAY THERE!!!

Lisha · 23-08-2014 10:06pm

Fair play Brendan Courtney's dress looks great on Angeline
