The Late Late Show: January 23rd 2015 (Mod Warning #Post 369)
-
23-01-2015 7:30pm#1Hello, it's getting late and nobody wants an "I can't believe there isn't a thread Where is the thread?" thread, so here is a hastily cobbled together thread.
Random Fact of The Day as a salute to Welsh Megaman: The word Penguin comes from Wales. The (now extinct) Great Auk was called 'penguin' (Pen= Head, Gwyn =White) by Welsh settlers in Newfoundland (either because of its markings or after White Head, an island in the area). The name was then applied to other birds which were believed to be of the same family. The original usage is now obsolete, but the word lives on in relation to the Antarctic sea birds.
Ian Puleston-Davies (Owen from Coronation Street) and Mikey North (Gary from Coronation Street) plug their new Stage Show, which is all about Coronation Street. And RIP to Anne Kirkbride AKA Deirdre Barlow/Rachid/Hunt/Langton
Director Tomm Moore, producer Paul Young and actor David Rawle from the Oscar nominated 'Song of The Sea' will discuss the nomination and their chances.
Athlete Olive Loughnane probably won Gold in the 2009 World Athletics Championship this week.
Ah, the Russian drug cheat was disqualified so Olive looks set to swap her Silver for Gold. Just Say No, Kids.
RTE sports Journalist Evanne Ni Chuillin is on I'm not sure why.
Hazel Behan will retell her harrowing personal story, which was featured on Ryan's Radio show this week

There is also "a performance by Stomp, a trad session and a focus on enterprise included in the line-up"
There may be more, but that's all I've got.
I'll be honest with you, I'm going down the Pub but I hope you all have fun.
Be Excellent to each other.18

Ha, thanks. RTE should scrap the new Saturday Night Lottery Show and revive Quicksilver. Big Money could be won!!Quicksilver was the longest running quiz show in RTE history. It was developed by its host Bunny Carr. The show gave rise to the catchphrase ‘stop the lights’. The contestants came from the studio audience as their ticket was picked out of a drum. Blue tickets for the men and pink tickets for the ladies.
Contestants would have to answer questions it win cash prizes starting at two pence and rising to five pounds. They could pass on a question and stop the timing lights diming on the game board by stopping the lights. There were thirty lights on the board and the quicker they answered the question that more lights left still on for the next question.
If they were playing for 10p and there were 18 lights left on that meant that they had won 18 x 10p, one pound eighty. Often the nerves or panic would set in an they would leave with that amount without going any further.

She is going to tell us all about the trauma she endured while making the decision to cut her hair.Joe.ie saying Evanne is on to reveal something about herself. Let's hope she chooses to go Toireasa Feiris and appall the nation with something truly revealing! Initially thought this was another "coming out" but apparently she's married with a kid, so that rules that out. Or does it? Stranger things have happened.
