    Vodafone phone & broadband is down around most of the country for the past couple of hours. Thankfully I have a Three phone.

    The broadband is back on now within the past half hour or so. After reading complaints on the phone about the Vodafone outage I never realised that a lot of families use the internet to watch RTE/TnaG/TV3 etc. I thought we all had a Saorview TV/box.

    Our 10 year old here just said about Tubridy, I think that lad is trying too hard.

    It’s more like a pantomime than the toy show. Kids still enjoying it though

    Too true Whelan...

    My crew are watching it, they said it’s ok, they don’t seem too engaged by it - they are in it more for the sweets I think... :)

    My brother loves the bounties, whenever he's home my mam has all the bounties saved for him. I bought a tub of Rose's and one quality street a lot of yucky ones in them. I remember when we were young lemons sweets were the worst to get

    I think quality street are horrible, but we have to get a tub every Christmas as my missus likes them... I think she only gets me cos I don’t eat them :)

    All my crew are gone to bed, said they’d watch the rest tomorrow morning...

    Vodafone have a TV service with set top box, that works over their broadband service, so many people using that service may not have an aerial.

    On the sweets, I refuse to eat strawberry creams. Hate the yokes.
    I will eat all celebrations, love the eclairs out of the heroes. The only one of the heroes I won't eat is the creme egg ones. I think they are disgusting. You can feel the raw sugar crunch between your teeth. Ugh.

    I wouldn’t be a fan of it but my 6yo wanted to stay up watching it. She got to around 10pm and dozed off. Went to bed myself then as was tired from slabbing a few walls.

    The girl who lost a leg was a pure dote. So sweet and inspiring when faced with such a difficult year. Her and her family deserve every bit of good news they get.

    Have to say i enjoyed the toy show. Much more relaxed when Ryan had no crowd to play up to. Great effort from all involved to put any kind of show together in the circumstances

    Local stables owner Nicola Clarke was winner in the other enterprises section.

    My daughter takes lessons with Nicola and she’s great. I was talking to her yesterday evening and as you’d expect with this caliber of person she was working through the FB live event teaching kids.

    Watching the rest of it here now... there seems to more kids and toys in the second half I think?

    Some amount of money raised, great stuff...

    That and the little lad who had brittle bones. God love them. The money raised was a good change from the the usual thing of everyone at the show looking for a load of freebies.

    Anyone from Sligo know if the weanling in the mart was just stunned or broke his neck?

    If he only knocked himself out it’s hilarious. If not it’s tragic

    It''s got a lot of criticism on the Late Late toyshow Megathread too, just had a gawk there now.
    It's being repeated on sunday , so it's difficult to see why childrens programs are put on after 9pm

    Late late show has for years been on a Friday or Saturday night after the news.
