as opposed to the april fools ideas threads, point out in this thread any april fools tricks you hear on the radio, tv, or read in the paper, etc, also let us know if you fell for it.

Bernard Dunne's fighting Paul O'Connell according to Newstalk - plenty of mentions of boards in the story too.

Today FM presenters doing show in nude

U2 playing blackpool shopping center (I'm assuming)? - RedFM Cork

Aparently Trapittoni belives Ireland can get something out of the game tonight. Sounds suspect to me.

Das Kitty · 01-04-2009 09:15AM

Stupid 2fm Breakfast show did a thing where they "forgot" their Mikes were live and had an argument on air. It was a gammy way of announcing that we're in for a second dose of the godawful HomeRun rubbish.

Hopefully that was an April Fool as well

I thought 2fm's april fools joke was them ringing the child who then got into her mam's car and tried to drive it.

I thought 2fm's april fools joke was them ringing the child who then got into her mam's car and tried to drive it.

And I thought it was the woman who won Jim Jims Dad on the first day of the competition.

jasonb · 01-04-2009 09:23AM

I reckon at least 1 of two stories on Today FM was an April Fools.

1. The story about Paul McLoon doing his show on Thursday night nude and being painted while doing it, and then all the other Presenters on Friday being painted nude as well, all for an 'unnamed charity'

2. The story that Dublin Airport is to be renamed after Gay Byrne. At least, I hope that's a joke!

98fm news said that the Gov. want to make people get a license for all pets the way we have one for dogs,to 'claw' back some cash, sounded like a joke to me.

although nothing would surprise me with that lot.

104 had a story on the news this morning about the number of bank holidays in the year being cut. It was stupidly obvious.
