Watching Snooker with canned applause seems weird, at least the Late Late Show and things like it haven't been silly enough to add canned laughter/applause to their broadcasts.

They should put some random coughing sounds in to give it the classic Crucible vibe.

‘A Mighty Wind’ blowing through TG4 shortly


HEYWHA’HAPPENED?!

‘Police Academy’ on ITV4 right now.

The recruitment process is very similar to how we elected our government.

Boris Johnson - the guy that makes sound effects with his mouth.
Jacob Rees Mogg - Fackler
Michael Gove - Tackleberry

And so forth

Think it would be better if they played a mobile ringtone when a player is leaning on the table, they then get up and give daggers to some invisible man in the crowd and then the ref tells them to turn it off.

I suppose in the current PC/Snowflake world you could never make a Police Academy film like previously ever again.

People giving out about censorship on the Late Late in 1987, it's like nothing has changed.

Back on Friday Week for Series 60

I miss the director showing close ups of hot women in the studio audience during the show

Maybe they could splice short clips of those girls into the inevitable deluge of zoom interviews this year ?

Not very woke. You're cancelled.

Ol' Donie

Well, all I know is, there's some crazy ass mask shìt going on, thanks to Bill Gates (naturally, or so I've heard) and there's only one Corr I need to hear from to clear the whole thing up.

The rest of them can just sit there silently. SILENTLY.

I remember Jim in 2001 with a bag over his head for a full interview, unlike his beautiful sisters

He was ahead of the game, but so much has changed since then

An Post have launched a series of Father Ted Stamps

They are quite nice, but I think they have missed an opportunity to have a stamp with a picture of Ted kicking Len Brennan up the arse.

"That money was just resting in my account" would be a nice one to send to Revenue if you owed them a few hundred k.

Ol' Donie

They should do matching John & Mary ones. You could use them to encourage people to reply to your letter.

For example:

The "You've a face like a pair of tits" stamp would be replied to with the "At least that's one pair between us" one.

I'm gonna watch a few mins of this.

Probably not for the right reasons.

Edit: Turned over to it. It's ads. If course it is. Good ol' TV3.

Mrs Brownes sktech.

Gary Barlow
Kodaline
The Coronas.

Cut to Ronan Keating set up to sing sitting at a piano.

And wresting his elbows on it's closed lid.

Exceptional.

Ol' Donie

Oh cool, Gavin James doing a song.

Noteworthy how they immediately cut to his fingers actually playing the piano.
