Which Hitchcock film was Tom Hanks in ? He was in one called the 'Burbs, not Hitchcock. Tippi Hedren was in one called The Birds, which was by Hitchcock and tended to feature more Birds than creepy neighbours. Case of mistaken vowels?

I read recently that he has signed a new radio & tv contract, ending rumours of him emigrating to find work abroad!!! At least some people can get jobs here.

Eh wut? I assume you are referring to Rear Window starring James Steward & Grace Kelly.

Facepalm tbh.

Welsh Megaman

Looks like The Birds/The Burbs joke went over everybody's head...that'll teach me to steal material from the Funny Friday gang.

Katie Piper will be talking about her new book 'Things Get Better'. Seriously, what kind of sick mofo does that to a person? :mad:

Ah, he's just old school, Sam.

Before the Marys you never heard a squeak out of the Presidents from one year to the next.

Compared to Former President Paddy Hillary he is like the third Jedward

Just watched the Katie Piper documentary.

Incredible person, looking forward to the interview.

I am a fan of President Higgins but I do have concerns about the salaries paid to his advisors. I believe the extra €30,000 should come from the President's salary.

President Higgins advisors' pay 'exceeds salary cap'
Sunday, May 20, 2012 - 01:39 PM

It has emerged today that the Government has allowed another breach of the pay cap it established for high earners within the public sector.

The Sunday Times newspaper has revealed that two members of Michael D Higgins' Presidential staff, his special advisor and his communication's director, are being paid more than €20,000 and €10,000 in excess of the pay guidelines.

Fine Gael TD Paschal Donohue has defended the increase, saying that overall pay rates have decreased significantly, and also defended the fact that the President has a special advisor.

"President Higgins has a huge variety of additional responsibilities," said Donohue.

"For example he is the person that has the ability to make a decision about a piece of legislation, he has the Council of State, he has the capacity to accept or refuse a decision from the Taoiseach to go to a General Election,

"I mean, he has a huge variety of other posts and responsibilities, at home and abroad, not as public, but are of huge importance."

Good Evening everybody.

The tie is making the studio stand out a lot less IMO. Michael D is interesting so far.
