Welsh Megaman

Kitteh and puppeh have taken a break this week due to the extremely hot weather. So...back by popular demand...

CHEETAH CUBBEH!




Oh, what the hey...PANDA CUBBEH!





On this week's show, Miriam will be talking to a legendary country music superstar who was due to play five nights this week at Croke Park. I am of course, talking about Nathan Carter.



Howdy Hello you.

Coming up on the show this week Nathan Carter, who was to be the support act for Garth Brooks in Croke Park will be in to talk about the disappointment he felt after hearing that the concerts were cancelled, he will also be performing his latest single “Good Time Girls”. Una Foden from The Saturdays will be talking about music, marriage and motherhood. Athlete Derval O’ Rourke will be in to talk about her retirement and life after the track. Paul Kimmage and his wife Ann will be talking about Paul’s life- long obsession with the cycling and the personal price they paid for blowing the whistle on drugs in the sport. Tune in tomorrow after the evening news and enjoy!!

I'd say the wheels fairly came off his wagon when that was cancelled...

STAY THERE!!!

How much more airtime can be devoted to 'the concerts that didn't happen'...
Shane Filan will no doubt be along to tell us, in turn, about his disappointment. I think I read somewhere he was to be a support act also.

grey_so_what

I will, genuinely, be there......

Thank you for the lovely OP WM!!....




***coughs discretely*** is kitteh on the piddle tonight due to her absence??....

Just heard Paul Kimmage on with Joanne Cantwell on Radio One Sport earlier... There is a documentary about him being shown on Monday night (I think), so he is doing the rounds at the moment to promote that... Kimmage is a very dour, negative man .... but he's always usually box office when it comes to saying some controversial / blunt / interesting... A bit like Roy Keane..

Even today with Joanne, he started to lose the head a bit when talking about Sean Kelly's recent autobiography. He was astounded that Kelly never mentioned anything about drug use in the sport at all... He was also hugely critical of Stephen Roche's assertion that Lance Armstrong should not have been stripped of all of his Tour De France titles..

And sure why wouldn't Kimmage say that??.....

He (Kelly) never heard of anything about drug abuse in his own sport??....Ostrich beckons me thinks....

Kelly must have either been in the clouds or Kimmage just calls a spade a spade??...

Oh and just one more thing on Kimmage.. He sensationally resigned as the ghost writer of Brian O'Driscoll's autobiography in January of this year...

‘I felt he was being unreasonable’ — Paul Kimmage reveals the reason he quit Brian O’Driscoll book

Wonder will Miriam ask him about this?

Miriam will also be talking to the t-shirt and hat sellers, the chip van owners and the women from Moore street selling five lighters for a euro, as they're also feeling very disappointed.

No...we Welsh have always been a decadent bunch!












That, and the fact that there was nothing else in the house to drink, resulting in a rummage in the back of the cupboards!

And anyone she misses out on (can't think who right now ) Tubs will be talking to, when he returns.

Amazing how Armstrong tried to use/abuse the illness of cancer instead of making an admission to drugs in cycling, he had the whole of the press conference eating out of his hand with the rentaclap at the end...

I cannot stand anyone cheating in sports - what about all the real true young athletes out there?...cheaters....should be banned for ever imo....no place in sport....:mad:

And RTE still can't let the GB thing go.........:mad:

grey_so_what

I'm going to open a book if Mir got the cheek bones on her face....botox-ed........

***shock horror***

What do you think from that ad?.....

Is Mir going to look like an eternal barbie?....I don't know...

Me neither, should be a lifetime ban for anyone who is caught cheating unless it can be conclusively prooved without doubt someone interfered with their food/medicine/drink etc. Some of the excuses are as dodgy as you can get "ohh I took some cough medicine, that caused it", on examination you would need about 3 litres of it to give the reading they got for the test :rolleyes:

Dunno about the Botox, but I reckon those white jeans were spray-painted on to her.

No doubt Tubs will open his show in September with a Garrettthhhh Brooookes comment to open the show up with.

Harry Angstrom

This fella really fancies himself.

Welsh Megaman

*swoon*

CountyHurler

"Lovely audience"...

I've never heard anybody come on and say "the audience are a shower of b*stards"

Though Kimmage is on the show later so I'm not gonna say it'll never happen.

Evening folks.

The applause was very steady for Nathan Carter even though many never heard of the fella.

The country should lease 10 large cruise liners to bring our Garth fans around the world so that all 400k people get to see him.

Welsh Megaman

Garth announced a 10-night residency in Chicago...on some dates playing TWO SHOWS IN ONE DAY! :eek:

Mr Peter Aiken should send him a strongly worded letter to tell him he will never play in this town again

It would be better if they got all the Garth fans on board those 10 ships and torpedoed them

Hopefully that's a genuine Irish tan she has.

Freaked myself didn't take advantage of the hot weather for a nice farmers tan, looks like it's over now, would have only needed about an hours worth for a good burn.
