    Well if you didn't see it you have nothing to add so be on your merry way.

    That's not how it works, you should illustrate what you are talking about by provide some links or explaining it, instead of being a complete dosey ignorant moron. :)

    Charlie Bird this this thing for Telethon where he put on all a mask and stuff to make him look different, only he didn't look different cos you cant hide that nose. They called him Charles Black.

    Charlie wouldn't stop laughing like a girl when he saw the 'transformation', only he was really laughing at his own face. Idiot.

    Because he was laughing they couldn't explain to him what to do so they sent him around rte to try and fool people.

    Charlie is crap at accents so the minute he said hello everyone said 'Howya Charlie', or something like that.

    This happened loads until he got to big brave Pat Kenny, Gerry Ryan, Derek Mooney and Joe Duffy. Derek Mooney was on the phone but he'd never been asked for an autograph before so he signed it.

    Charlie tried to give them wine. They refused. Joe Duffy said if he took it he'd be up in a tribunal. Gerry Ryan took it though. No surprises there.

    Then they showed the above people laughing because they were told it was Charlie.

    Cut back to Telethon studio where Ryan Tubridy, Charlie Bird, and the audience seemed terribly excited about the whole thing. How amusing.

    Charlie Bird tells Ryan that the editing was brilliant because some of the people weren't that happy with being fooled.

    Charlie Bird was, of course, wrong. It is not difficult to remove a clip of an angry person and put in a 5 second clip of someone laughing. Idiot.

    Then they showed some crap about Charlie messing up interviews with politicians and with his colleagues about him. Charlie coughed during the interview, which annoyed everyone. He coughed because talking was clearly not the way to go, as he can't do accents.

    Everyone laughed when they found out.

    Except David Norris who, although he had been fooled before on Anonymous, still did not realise who it was even when Jason Byrne said the word 'Anonymous' and threw in 'Charlie Bird' for the laugh, to which David replied, no this is Charles Black. The penny finally drops about 10 minutes later. Everyone laughs.

    Charlie, in studio, again mentions the brilliant editing and sulks like a little girl who has lost her dolly.

    Conclusion:

    1. How did Telethon make money out of this?

    2. Is David Norris on crack?

    3. I now realise why Charlie Bird could not get a visa to get to the country he was meant to be doing a story in and instead had to stand outside that country.

    4. Yet again Charlie Bird has proved himself to be a big girl's blouse, even more so than that Amazon debacle.
    I still don't get it :confused: but by the sound of it, it was another typically amateurish RTE production all round then.

    The only thing they actually do well is their sports coverage.

    Charlie Bird did look very uncomfortable both in the disguise and in the studio.Somebody must have it to post on You Tube.
    Its one of those clips you would really have to see!

    It was an accurate depiction of your actions so far. ;)

    What I said stands, you need to make an effort when you start a thread so that people will know what you are talking about.

    I was in no way "blathering" as other people had no problem grasping what the thread was about.I have no problem with someone asking for more information about a topic covered in a thread,i myself have done so many times,that is what these forums are all about.
    Its idiotic and juvenile name calling i.e "complete ignorant dosey (sic) moron" that gets a little bit tiring for both the person it's aimed at and other people that have to read it.
    Just one of those things people who don't post much or just join in every now and then when its something they show an interest in have to put up with on BOARDS.IE i have noticed unfortunately.

    I did catch some of the "Telethon" whilst making a bowl of cereal in the kitchen and it looked pretty excruciating... Sick bucket on standby kind of stuff!

    Have to agree with you.Posters do seem to log in and go on a search for people to slag off and throw in a bit of name calling for good measure!
    There are lots of people here though that just join in with the bit of a laugh that it is at the end of the day:)Charlie Bird isnt worth calling somebody an ignorant moron over to be honest:rolleyes:A lot of kids on here so it comes with the territory im afraid.

    I don't think that'll work. I mean, I'm not looking for justice for Charlie. I'm looking for justice for myself!! How about: 'Tell me who pissed off Charlie Bird or I'll whack ya with me sandwich board'?

    Or: 'Could you live with the shame (of not telling a tv licence holder who pissed Charlie Bird off')?

    Ya, I think yours is catchier.

    Sure, it's just turning into a conversation (which don't belong here) if you know what I mean. It's not a big deal or anything.
