Noswaith dda!

Congratulations to Ireland in the Six Nations - thoroughly well deserved

And commiserations to England

*desperately tries to keep a straight face*

I'm not very optimistic about that line-up.

...But as Welsh Megaman said, Ireland won the Six Nations!!

Brendan should just go crazy for the last few shows!

Get Ryan AND Tatum O'Neal for the finale!

I remember many years ago on Kenny Live on Saturday nights, Pat used to phone up the Hotel where Ireland were staying and ask to speak to the Irish Rugby Captain (after an away game).

Eventually the Captain would come on from the celebrations and give a brief interview with Pat before returning to the bar. I'd say it was the last thing any Rugby player wanted to do (and that was in the serious drinking amateur days).

But seeing as Brendan is on the way out, it might be worth renewing the tradition just for the craic!

Celebrations of what exactly ?

Ah you know, an away win was big news back then

But sure you can always rely on Pat to feature in an Irish Rugby celebration!

May as well watch tonight's episode, and all the other remaining episodes, following last week's dreadful (yet not entirely unexpected) news.

I stopped watching the SNS, and posting on the threads, in earnest around a year ago after my patience was tested by a string of terrible line-ups and that Pussy Riot interview.

In the months afterwards, I looked at the line-ups now and again, but wasn't enamoured by them enough to resume posting on the threads full-time.

Yet Brendan and the team must have been doing something right, because the show's viewing figures were catching up with and then beating those of the Late Late. Even in my eyes, that was a Good Thing.

But of course, in the eyes of the folks at Montrose, it was the complete opposite... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

It would be nice if the SNS went out with a proper bang, with some genuinely great line-ups and maybe even a sing-song from Brendan (even if it's just "My Way").

It's probably not likely that Dr Norah Patten will make another appearance, though...

Go Harvey Go

The Irish match was great... but the English match was even better.

And I think Brendan should be thanking the French.

Un Croissant

Leprechaun porn must be grim stuff.

Welsh Megaman

OH NO HE DIDN'T! :eek:

Skid X

By the way, if anyone has a burning ambition to start an SNS thread, don't be shy.

You have about 8 more chances

Welsh Megaman

Lepreporn :cool:

Un Croissant

Jaysus a guard wouldn't ask ya that.... Oh wait....

United Chester Men

I like Brendan a lot but if there is one fault, and one thing I have to turn over when they come on, it is those auto cue jokes at the start. He looks very awkward and the audience never gives a good response to them!

Welsh Megaman

:eek:


*sound of RTE's legal team jumping out of the window*

"I'm delighted to be going out on a high, and I'm very excited about the future."

Unfortunately, after the end of May, the future for Saturday nights on RTE1 looks pretty bleak...

I thought Gardaí were barred from doing any other paid job?

Un Croissant

Awkward face.

A guest who can't talk so he won't get in trouble...

I'm in stitches at this interview. Kieran is not going to give Brendan an easy time. It's priceless.

coolhull

Does Garda pay not go far enough to buy the occasional razor blade?

honeybear

not going well

amdublin

I am not enjoying this.

SimonTheITGuy

This is almost as awkward as the Noel Gallagher interview a few weeks back.

United Chester Men

This is a strange interview. There is so many things that Brendan wants to ask him but can't. We aren't going to learn ANYTHING from it except his band sound.

Un Croissant

I wonder is the grey hair natural.

RobertKK

Wonder if he is as good as Russell Crowe with the singing.

mfceiling

Huge interest for me here tonight as Dr Gillham is a friend of mine. His kids and mine are great friends. He's a very funny man - with such a serious topic as cancer we probably won't get to see his humour come to the fore!!

and yellowed teeth....:eek:

Un Croissant

Well he definitely isn't undercover anymore. Unless he's undercover as a musician to blow up a crime ring in RTE.

amdublin

God this is boring.

Skid X

For someone who is a Garda, and has acted as a Garda, He doesn't look or sound like a Garda.

Wonder, too, how good he would be at owning a rugby team like RC...

He's not great at speaking, he doesn't come across the brightest tbh, imo

You'd absolutely know he was a garda - cute as f**k and I don't mean his looks!!

Un Croissant

Wouldn't be a garda for love nor money. Used to go out with a girl who's brother was guard. Had his face slashed open with a broken bottle. **** that.

honeybear

Nice voice

Welsh Megaman

Well, this is a toe-tapper.

Go Harvey Go

"Hail the Ghost" really isn't the most imaginative name in the world for a band...

He'd want to put them away.:D:D

I like it. Background music.

I'm late lads but I have a ridiculous silly smile on my face........

Tried to repair some gammy Chariot but sure, I made a hames of it.......


Yeaaaaaaa!!!!

United Chester Men

Great sound



Can't help thinking they are a rip off of The National though! No embaresment that, though!
