Last Late Late before Christmas

Ol' Donie

Now, if, like most people you tend to generalise people based on one thing they have in common (say, they come from the same place), tonight's Late Late should prove a super strong argument as to why that can be a massive mistake.

On the one hand, we have former President and all round proof to every one of us that we haven't really achieved that much in our sorry lives, it's Mayo's own Mary Robinson. Hail Mary, indeed.

On the other hand (because it's been a few weeks) we have dear old Louis Walsh, gormless smile in full effect, answering the question no one asked: What's Louis Walsh at these days?

Following that, if they match this post with their running order, is the Apres Match lads. I love these guys, much more than the actual RTE panel.

Now, in dual misery slot hell, there's a fella who's dad had died since last Christmas. Unless I read that wrong. If this weren't the Late Late there's no way I'd believe that any tv show would do this nonsense.

And the mental punch in the stomach after that, the one and thankfully only...ugh...Jason Byrne. Really. Again. I despair.

Great, soooo...

See yis later!

Happy Christmas dudes, it's gonna be a good thread. I can totally feel it.

Edit: It's John B Keane's son, if that makes it any more/less ridiculous.

And it's actually a misery triple punch. People who were affected by the flooding are on to answer the deep and probing question: "How did that make you feel?"

Sigh.

Of course there is.

Leaving work shortly. Have some christmas shopping to do. If I budget my time, I should manage to be well buzzed for Mary Robinson, heading towards hammered for the Apres Match lads, and then sliding into oblivion for the rest.

Going by that for a blurb, I might even be tempted to tune in myself!! :eek:

Hi folks, Happy Christmas to one and all. This show was pre-recorded earlier this week (because it would be difficult to pre-record it later this week)

At least it's a full length show, last year they fecked off at about 11.10pm**



** I might be setting myself up for a fall there, at 11.10pm we might be praying it was over.

That line up will even put our Christmas puppies to sleep.

Has Joe started franchising out that phrase? Thought that was unique (so to speak) to Da Lahvline, no?

He'll just throw them on the scrap heap and pull another crowd out of the hat.

Same story, a bunch of pretty lads who can't play but look good and sound good on autotune and backing tapes. He'll bullshlt them up to the eyes and use his contacts in RTE to plug the bollix out of them until it fails or until they run out of steam. Meanwhile Louis will grin and squeal all the way to the bank.

Wash, rinse & repeat next year. Meanwhile Irish bands writing their own music and playing instruments will struggle with zero chance of a leg up from RTE.

Oh yeah. i almost forgot...he'll have another shower to plug when the Eurovision comes around again. Bugger the fact that we'll have no chance of winning, main thing is he plugs his crowd and gets another few grand for it.

(Yes I'm cynical and plssed off)

A Late Late Show with a spontaneous and unpredictable presenter, who is at ease with sports stars as well as Hollywood Royalty.

Apres Match and Mary Robinson should be good. The rest.....meh.

I cannot stand Louis Walsh. He's a little weasal arsehole who just inflicts awful musical sh!te on the world for his own gain. He's basically a musical ISIS.

screamer

For once and seeing as the time of the year, can they not just do without the misery slot

Once she doesn't bang on too much about global warming, global cooling, climate change, Irish weather.

Disagree. ISIS are pricks, but they are unpredicatable. You couldn't ever say that about yer man.
