    Going through my PMs there and I got one asking me to go on the radio tomorrow, the Marian Finucane Show... Not a chance!


    Anyone else ever get PMs from media folk? If so why?

    The PM said they where putting together a show over the weekend about Queen Elizabeth visit, wanted me to contribute.


    Could all be lies, was a phone number, didn't bother ringing it.

    Yeah, once. About comments I made in a Mosney/Immigrant thread. They wanted me to answer a few questions for a TV segment.

    Don't do it. I have read your posts before and I think you express your opinions in a fairly civilized way.
    On a radio show though, you could get callers who try to twist your words to make you sound like a terrorist/ra head whatever that is just because you don't support the queen coming.
    They're just hoping for an argument for their show.

    Yes! Once, after a post I made about the AC/DC gig in punchestown in 2009 (I think)! There was an article in the paper quoting me and all the next day! Can't remember which paper though!

    Thats exactly why I didn't do it, and won't.

    But it's the Marianne Finucane program,not some late night shock jock.

    Your sincerity would surely shine through.

    Talk about a lost opportunity.
