Late Late Fri13. Scary, and not in the good way.

Ol' Donie · 13-10-2017 5:17pm #1

Let's have a game of Odd One Out, shall we?

Yes? Excellent.

Which Late Late regular is the odd one out?

A. Brendan O'Carroll
B. A GAA player
C. Twink
D. That slightly odd Brides of Franc fella, or
E. Nathan Carter?

If you said C. Twink, congratulations, you are right. Look at you!

What do the rest have in common? Well, apart from herself they're all on tonight. Yep.

Luckily the GAA player is Philly McMahon, who almost definitely has five more All Ireland medals than you. So, an interesting person. Yer man Franc, though...that's not even his real name! Did he name himself after the worst character ever committed to celluloid, Martin Short's feckin spanner in Father Of The Bride? It's too uncomfortable to be a coincidence. 'Sake.

Meanwhile, there will also be one of those Priests who has spotted there's a lot wrong with the church in Ireland, and some filler that would make a jar of Heinz Sandwich Spread blush: "a panel discussion on the state of the nation with the politician Fidelma Healy Eames, journalist Kitty Holland and columnist Terry Prone".

But wait, where are you going? There's one more thing to tell you about. The Late Late Karaoke Competition. Didn't Ray D'Arcy do that last year? And it was every bit as dreadful as you would expect?

Yikes. Gonna be a long night.

(Seriously, where is Twink these days? I thought I saw her selling cakes in Knocklyon the other day, but I was soooo high that morning, it could have been anywhere.)

Harry Palmr · 13-10-2017 5:21pm

Is this the Continuity LLS thread?

Say Your Number · 13-10-2017 5:22pm

Nathan Carter making his bi-weekly appearance.

Seriously does he live in RTE or something?

fryup · 13-10-2017 5:43pm

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

he works part-time in the canteen,

but seriously............Twink????????? is it still 1987 in donnybrook?

julyjane · 13-10-2017 5:56pm

Is Nathan Carter on the payroll in RTE that they just pull him in to play a song when they need a gap filled? He's a decent enough act but jesus he's around so much that he's tiresome.

Having said that I have some relatives who would follow him to the ends of the earth, bank holiday weekends they've been known to go to his gigs 4 nights on the trot so he's obviously got some appeal

dbagman · 13-10-2017 6:16pm

My misses just paid the tv licence...........

Did she pay with a credit card there might be a 7 day cooling off period?

Welsh Megaman · 13-10-2017 7:24pm

Two LLS threads started at more or less the same time.

The equivalent of two starlets turning up to a London West End film premiere wearing the same dress - awkward, and bound to end in tears.

And trying to pretend they don't see each other.

Ahem.

sligojoek · 13-10-2017 7:35pm

I see ray Darcy has Kathleen Watkins on tomorrow night to plug her new book. He had her on the radio a few days ago too. I'd love to know how much it would cost an author for two 20 min slots on primetime radio and "de telly".

Rock Lesnar · 13-10-2017 7:41pm

Im now convinced they book the guests on a friday morning, think i'll give this nonsense a miss

TheRiverman · 13-10-2017 7:49pm

Franc,strange alias for plain old Peter Kelly.

Yes Donie, and I still wish we’d consulted each other first - I spent ages picking out that gold bacofoil suit :pac:

I wonder if Ryan will ask Brendan about the real reason why Rory Cowan left ‘Are You Being Fecking Served 1972’ - I have a theory (thanks to Jim Corr for the loan of the tinfoil hat...nice fit )

Rory saw how much Brendan was paying the rest of his family, and asked for a bigger piece of the pie.

Either that, or Brendan didn’t want the burden of the lawsuit filed by John Inman’s family for Rory’s radioactive levels of campness.

walshb · 13-10-2017 7:59pm

Oh fook off with these Gaelic players!

Seems like only yesterday all these were guests on the LLS. How tedious and tiresome it all seems. I will make a point not to watch this borefest.

TheRiverman · 13-10-2017 8:19pm

Philly McMahon,Diarmuid Connolly,Eoin O'Gara,Kieran Donaghy and Lee Keegan should be all on together

Say Your Number · 13-10-2017 8:40pm

He actually has his glasses over his eyes :eek::eek::eek:

Welsh Megaman · 13-10-2017 8:41pm

He’s actually wearing his glasses :O

Atlantic Dawn · 13-10-2017 8:42pm

Apparently Brexit is the reason they won't be making another movie, thank fook for Brexit.

Welsh Megaman · 13-10-2017 8:42pm

Tee-hee, he said the f-word - what a comedy visionary.

murpho999 · 13-10-2017 8:43pm

Don't like Mrs Brown Boys at all, not my type of humour but I do like Brendan, seems like a nice guy and I don't begrudge him his success.

Say Your Number · 13-10-2017 8:45pm

If there is some rift between the two of them, both of them are very diplomatic about it.

Welsh Megaman · 13-10-2017 8:45pm

I feel like vomiting myself when watching MBB’s.

Sometimes people just move on for their own reasons and there doesn't have to be a rift.

TheRiverman · 13-10-2017 8:46pm

Another rubber bandit.

Then do like myself and just don't watch any MBBs.

He does a lot of charity works behind the scenes. He deserves his success. He's not a greedy person.

Atlantic Dawn · 13-10-2017 8:49pm

Bingo

murpho999 · 13-10-2017 8:50pm

He's mixing Charlie and Katrina up.

Autosport · 13-10-2017 8:50pm

I love Mrs brown boys and Brendan is an absolute howl

Evening all

And as is often the case, he's mixing up double entendres with just normal words.

Ol' Donie · 13-10-2017 8:52pm

Ha, sucked out.

Oh, that one wasn't a joke?

Rock Lesnar · 13-10-2017 8:52pm

Trump mention 1,500,975 on RTE programming

sligojoek · 13-10-2017 8:53pm

Obligatory Trump bashing.

BorneTobyWilde · 13-10-2017 8:53pm

''at home ''

He's not American, someone tell him .

Welsh Megaman · 13-10-2017 8:54pm

Funny stories, Brendan.

"Him and Kim Jung Il are measuring mickeys!

We're adults!"

The irony meter has just given up and keeled over.

Not really behind the scenes if people know about it.

13-10-2017 8:56pm

I want to be on that cruise

Say Your Number · 13-10-2017 8:56pm

Hey Welsh Megaman do you know the answer to the question?

sligojoek · 13-10-2017 8:56pm

BOC: "They'll vote for him again."
RT: "Yeah, they're mad."

Like the people who vote for FF time after time, Ryan.

Autosport · 13-10-2017 8:57pm

If I win the prize I'll bring Tubs and he won't be able to escape

I know.

But they've just had a great laugh at the suggestion that a hurricane looks like a knob.

We're adults!

(For the record I'm not sure if they meant a tornado, either way I don't see it. I'm just guessing that because a tornado has an identifiable shape)

Welsh Megaman · 13-10-2017 8:58pm

Anybody hear Ryan interview Richard Branson on his radio show the other day?

He tried to get Branson to agree with him that Trump must be 'mentally ill.'

Just because somebody doesn't agree with Ryan's worldview, they must be 'mentally ill.'

TheRiverman · 13-10-2017 8:58pm

Awful song.

Welsh Megaman · 13-10-2017 8:59pm

Stupid competition question

Ol' Donie · 13-10-2017 8:59pm

Holding a good hand!

Did you hear that Brendan?

*snigger*

Ol' Donie · 13-10-2017 8:59pm

Jesus, is Holding A Good Hand the shortest song ever?
