The Late Late Show December 16th 2016

Skid X

DIS IS NO ODINAWY TWEAD - DIS IS DE LATE LATE SHOW TWEAD !


Why do we always come here?
I guess we'll never know.
It's like a kind of torture,
to have to watch the show.




Hello, Happy Christmas and if you are waiting on any Christmas Presents you bought online - I hope they arrive before Santa does.


See if you can guess which LLS regular guests will be on tonight!













Miriam Margolyes who was in Harry Potter and Blackadder is on (Harry Potter and Blackadder - that would be a good film). She's a good guest in the right setting. You may remember her being interviewed with Will.I.am on Graham's Show.


Louis Walsh is on with Big Announcement. Actually, reading that again I don't think Big Announcement are a band ("They'll be so big, Ryan, the girls will love them, they'll be even bigger than Hometown"), he apparently is making a big announcement. Something to do with Eurovision? Hometown Reforming? Coming Out? I can hardly wait


TV chefs Rachel Allen and Richard Corrigan will cook some Christmas things. Yeah, that'll fill up twenty minutes or so.


Brendan Grace, Pat Shortt and Jason Byrne together at last. Expect another round of the ever popular "Who would you least like to sit next to on a long flight game?"


Aslan, Glen Hansard, Finbar Furey, The RTÉ Concert Orchestra and Cór na nÓg perform musical numbers. Might be some Christmassy tunes maybe.


Finally, Alice Leahy from the Alice Leahy Trust will be in studio offering advice and support for those who are facing a difficult Christmas this year.

Miriam Margolyes is such a fun guest, if only there could be a Miriam & Will.i.am re-union this evening on the LLS

I'd like to see Aslan but it's not worth the pain of the other 152 minutes. Hopefully they will go on Youtube.

Great OP as usual Skid, up to your usual standards!

Looking forward to the thread tonight, hope ye are all well and having a great run up to the big day! xxx

I may be the first person who ever boycotted a Christmas party.

Reason? It's a dry party. Seriously? I'll have a large Ballygowan just doesn't cut it, does it?

Have you moved to Qatar or what?

Merciful hour.

It's a party, and I'll drink if I want to,
drink if I want to,
drink if I want to,

you would drink too, if you wanted to do ...

grey_so_what

And don't even laugh.....

True story.

No Christmas tree or decorations in the office.

Why?

Apparently, Christmas is "overrated"....It's like A Christmas Carol in realtime....

I swear to God, some employers must be listening to Newstalk this year.

Pat Kenny carried two items recently warning employers of their responsibilities to employees on office nights out. Patricia Callan from the Small Firms Association was on this morning and he also had psychoanalyst and counsellor, Tony Moore on the show two weeks ago....

Tony was a complete wet blanket. He recommended a Christmas jumper dress code to an employer who mentioned that they were a bit concerned that one staff member might wear something low cut or revealing. Sweet Baby Jaysus, I thought I'd woken up in 1950's Ireland.

We had Christmas lunch during the week at work and it was supposed to be a dry party but our department managed to get our hands on some mulled wine from a nearby Christmas market....... not my drink of choice but needs must...every little helps....

You see everyone presumes it's a woman wearing a low cut/revealing top but it could be a man........ there is a guy in my office who I've christened 'The Lion' because his ginger chest hair is frequently on display

Rock Lesnar

Is that right, Brendan grace, Jason Byrne and Pat short on the same show, where could you find that calibre of comedic value, that should be a great laugh....said nobody......Ever!!!

Just picturing Tubs trying to cope with Miriam Margolyes...

Great OP Skid, as usual.

Fr Tod Umptious

Louis Walsh eh.

Over Christmas I'll go over every LLS thread on boards.ie and count the amount of times him or one of his Boyzone/Westlife minions have been on.

Expect a large number.

RayM

Miriam Margolyes' last appearance on the Late Late was very funny...

I wonder will he ask Walsh about his latest boyband HomeTown, who have dispersed (and presumably returned to their respective HomeTowns.. I mean hometowns)

I can hear it now....

Louis: "Hometown had a massive career, Ryan... they had a number one single. And they were massive in Japan".

Lady Chatterton

That's an interesting poll Skid. I've met Brendan Grace and Pat Shortt on a number of occasions and I found both to be very friendly.

I think I'd like to sit beside Pat on a long flight because I would love to chat to him about the making of the film 'Garage'. It's such a tragic story but is beautifully made and Pat gave the performance of his life.

I'm a Harry Potter fan so I'd probably ask him what it was like to work with Daniel Radcliffe.

Pat has a gastro-pub in Cork and I love good food and wine so we could discuss wine and exchange recipes.

Finally, my brother in law is a massive D'unbelievables fan so I'd tell Pat about the time my BIL attended the funeral of work colleague's father (who was also a D'unbelievable fan) and they spoke to each other in the mortuary as 'D'unbelievables' - 'the poor devil got a bad knockout so he did'.... complete with Tipp accents.

Evening all. Just spent the last few hours slaving over a hot curry. No drink yet as I've to take a few teenagers to a disco. I should be sitting down to the LLS about 9.45 with some top scoff and will need some strong booze by the looks of things.

I've been cooking too, I made a large pot of stew. Will you get to freeze some of that curry after spending hours on it?

Probably not. We'll have it again tomorrow and there'll be enough for my dinner Monday.

Is Harry Angstrom paying you commission GSW? Boyles is made by a Boardsie and has received great reviews, I might give it a go this evening.

I hate change as you may or not know.....:pac:

As per usual, not the strongest of line-ups though i've seen that Harry Potter lady on the Graham Norton show and she was entertaining enough so she should be good.

As per usual though, i'm expecting to entertainment to be mainly coming from this thread so crack open the wine, beers (and gin, Lady Chatterton) and lets get this show on the road.
