Ran into Charlie Bird today

Yes, the RTE News Charlie Bird. And not so much ran, as walked while reading a text message. Was hoping for a mention on the 6.1, but to no avail...

Mike...

Was relly expecting yo to say you knocked him down with the car or something...better luck next time you meet him,try being more persuasive...ie..hit him or try and turn him on....that's def 6.1 material

I run into him every weekend where I work. I've also called around to his place a few times for other things. I don't know how to get on the news anymore!

OBL= Osama Bin Laden

He must be very scared then.

who is Charlie bird anyway ?

He is one of the many "balanced and fair-minded" broadcasters on RTE. He chases the odd TD here and there if there is a whiff of corruption! Real value for the licence payers money as is Kenny, Ryan, Duffy,Bowman. As effective as John Delaney on an FAI selection committee-as useful as a hermits address book-need i say more?:cool:

Hmm, I guess that would be about as newsworthy as most of the claptrap on 6.1. Hard luck anyway.

"And Brian, there was I walking down the road when all off a sudden this guy walked straight into me. He didn't even say sorry - a typical AH poster, TBH"

I read this as "ran down". And started celebrating...

Toto Wolfcastle

There was obviously something going on in some foreign country and he was in a rush to get as far away as possible so he could report on it.

(Anyone remember when he couldn't get a visa to some country and had to stand outside the country. Like a sad little man who can't get into a nightclub. )

Just walked out of Subway on Nassau stree heading back to college.

The convo was something like:
ME - "Oh. Sorry"
- *Looks up*
- "****. You're Charlie Bird!"
CB - "Yes. Yes, I am."

And obl does not = OSAMA BIN LADEN, digitally-yours. "On broken legs", as I had a broken leg when I joined.

I just clicked your bebo and I recognise you

Good job.

Met Colm Murray (RTE Sports newscaster) int he pub one evening.
Asked if he could give us a mention on the sports news, or if not,
could he scratch his head instead during the broadcast and we'd know
he was on about us.

Dunno if he ever did it in the end ... the session we were on we only
remembered about it about a week later

I hope you have fully recovered now

Apologies if that made u feel bad in anyway.

Charlie Bird is a muppet. Brian Dobson was a surprisingly chirpy bloke on the panel.

hi charlie, any news for me?
