The Saturday Night Show: November 2nd 2013 9.35pm

Skid X

Olympic Gold Medallist, Legend and Superstar Katie Taylor is in the house tonight. She will "be in to tell us of her big decision and dreaming of Rio" apparently.

The rest of the show is a little bit Zzzzz list ...

Communications guru Terry Prone will talk about her new book, Coach. She has recently been signed up by Rory McIlroy to handle his media relations.

Designer and potter Stephen Pearce will discuss making it back from the brink after financial worries.

We’ll be talking to American comedian, Baratunde Thurston who is here for the web summit about where the internet is going.

We will also have music from The Carnival Brothers who will be performing their new single “Carnival Station” (incidentally, they were on with Miriam last July)


Kitties, Puppies and consenting adults should report for duty at 9.35pm

grey_so_what

Only you Skid could get Katie to pose with a picture of a Puppy for the SNS thread!!.......;):)

The Consenting Adult in this house will be present and correct as requested.........:pac:

:eek:

Katie.....A real star at last!!.......:)

Katie is a great guest but dear God I'd prefer to read the Aertel Pages than listen to Terry Prone on a Saturday night.

Yes, he left Horizon Sports Management to set up his own management company Rory McIlroy Incorporated and he has signed up The Communications Clinic to handle his PR.

Horizon Sports Management are pursuing him legally as they helped him to secure very lucrative deals with Nike and others.

I see Dean Norris from Under The Dome and Breaking Bad took home the painting he was given on the SNS recently. Fair play, a lot of people would have left it in the hotel room

Imitating myself. Thanks again @nialloloughlin @rtesatnightshow just back from framer hangin over my bar

Terry is an expert on everything. I wouldn't be surprised if she was giving him advice on his backswing as well.

Will BOC be, er, ballsy enough to mention Karagh Fox? Or even Kate Fitzgerald? For a PR expert Terry's a bit crap at making herself look good.

To be fair to Brendan he can't mention either of these cases for legal reasons.

The Communication Clinic settled the Unfair Dismissal Case (out of court) with Karagh Fox, so you can be sure there was a confidentially clause preventing either party from discussing what happened.

As for the Kate Fitzgerald case, it was extremely tragic but I'm not sure why Brendan should raise the issue with Terry. What would it achieve? I reckon it would only create upset for Kate's parents and brother.

The Fitzgerald family are on record as saying that they're unhappy with the inquest findings into their daughter's death and that they would campaign to get justice for their daughter. Perhaps Brendan will invite them back on the show at some point.

Stephen Pearce, who is a guest tonight, isn't shy about promoting himself ...

Stephen Pearce: Warrior Spirit

The inseparable stories of one of Ireland's most colourful and vivacious sons, and the 60-year journey of a small Irish craft business that became an international design brand, crashed and was reborn.

http://www.stephenpearce.com/gift-ideas/the-book/warrior-spirit.html

Er, personally I've never heard of this 'Warrior Spirit' who makes pottery and is "one of Ireland's most colourful and vivacious sons", but maybe that's just me.

Lady Chatterton

Skid, Stephen Pearce was a guest on the SNS or Saturday Night with Miriam a season or two ago talking about his business and his financial worries, I wonder if he has anything new to say. I very much doubt it.

I've some of his pottery and his bedlinen, they're very nice but fairly pricey and in a recession they wouldn't be the first thing you'd be racing out to purchase. Pottery was very fashionable a few years ago but old fashioned bone china seems to be back in vogue.

Remember those dainty china cups that your granny or your grand-aunt had, they're the height of sophistication these days

And let's not forget how shoddy the content on those pages has become... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Aertel has become something of an anachronism in any case - especially now that it's been just over a year since Ceefax ended.

You have some memory, MrsD. I must have missed him that night.

I'm not a fan of dainty little buggers china cups - I prefer a good outsized Mug, bigger than the standard mugs. Saves you having to go for a refill.

But good luck to him, some people like and want fancy pottery.

As Maureen Lipman says in the ad - "Pottery - very useful! Anthony, people will always need plates"

I loved Ceefax. I still do.

I sent them an e-mail on their last day, and they replied. I know it was probably an automated reply, but I was impressed that they made the effort

Thank you for your kind words. They mean a lot to us.

Stephen P was way overpriced from Day One!.......:eek: Kinda like the pressie you'd have on the Wedding List and people would sigh when they see his name!

I wouldn't say no if someone bought me a bowl or two having said that!!......:)

I always look for cracks in Terry's face when she tries to smile........:o:o:o

Is Katie Taylor a good guest?

Whenever Ive heard her she seems pretty inarticulate.

The Beeb also made the effort to commission soundtracks for Pages From Ceefax - and many of them were very good.

The equivalent accompaniment for what I call Pages From Aertel - whenever there's time to fill in the early hours on RTE2 before handing over to Euronews - is 2fm. :rolleyes:

Also, the only page they actually show is the home page, 100. Great idea not having a "newsreel" page, like Ceefax's page 152... :rolleyes:

I'd be the opposite on that one but of course Mrs.D, each to their own.:)

Interested in what Stephen Pearse has to say too- I don't think I've watched an interview with him before but yet, nearly every house in Ireland has one of his pieces.

I lost all time for Terry after she appeared on a Vincent Browne programme (on the night of the Presidential Election Debate) to discuss the performance of the Presidential Candidates even though her company was involved in Gay Mitchell's campaign. There was an implied conflict of interest (at the very least) so she shouldn't have taken part in the programme.

Evening all!

Anyone remember Ceefax's toppermost quiz Bamboozle, hosted by Walter Matthau Bamber Boozler? With the kiddies version on a Saturday?

Didn't see that. Any how's, I like current affairs so would be interested more in that than what Katie has to say but like I said, each to their own:)

I like current affairs too but I'd like to see someone else get a break, Terry doesn't need the media exposure at this stage in her career.

I think Katie is a lovely guest, she comes across as kinda shy but full of personality.

She is, in my opinion, a fantastic role model for young people.

A rarity indeed in these days of bluffers, one of whom will be on tonight

Terry has made no secret of the fact that she likes having plastic surgery.

I can make up stories like that, all I need is a decent bottle of wine.........
