    My ears must be deceiving me. They actually talked about gin at the start of the Movies and Wine section.
    Perhaps they might eventually get around to talking about whiskey, if Sean ever gets over his personal hang-up against spirits :rolleyes:

    Can't handle the stuff, Sean likes a couple of glasses of mule piss lager. I'd say after that he gets a bit funny.

    He probably had a bad experience with whiskey years ago on a night out with real ass men.

    Saw him in P Macs one Friday afternoon and he was indeed drinking a bottle of lager.

    Good old Moncrieff.

    What better way to start a Christmas day special than 15 mins of non Christmas Disco & Electronica tunes.

    Ha ha, love it.

    Ha, was gonna post about this.

    "Now, what's in your stationary cupboard?" (Okay, sound like a Moncrieff bit, alright)

    "This is the first in a new weekly segment..."
    (Wait, what? Weekly??)

    As it turned out I sort if enjoyed it!

    I think Sean said before Christmas there'd be a few changes after Christmas. Anyone know what's in and what's out? Paolo still here. Better not mess with Movies & Booze.

    He got rid of the 'Someone who died who you may not have heard of' slot and replaced it with a technology slot with Darragh Doyle, apparently Bebo is back.

    The technology slot was on at 3:45 on Monday, I think the history slot is staying where it is, I don't think the stationary slot is replacing anything, it might only be something that happens intermittently, I can't really see them being able to drag that much out of it.

    Moncrieff seems to have more slots than an amusement arcade.

    That tends to happen when you have 15 hrs of talk radio to fill every week.

    is it just me or is he getting particularly narky recently, slagging off contributors after they're gone etc...

    take that guy on about being up front when you're dating, and not bothering with playing mind games. he seemed to be in for some flack afterwards for no apparent reason.

    the show seems to be going out of it's way to be a pro - everything that is not white, straight, male middle class with some of the reactions to texters.

    still funny most of the time though!

    I don't think him giving out about contributors is anything new, as long as I've listened to the show he's always done it, depends on how much sh1te they talk I suppose.

    His response to the "How much is that Brit propagandist being payed" text last week was hilarious, that texter may just have been taking the piss but still I got a good laugh out of it.

    i was thinking that as i typed it!!

    but sometimes, some of the stuff he comes out with would make you stop and think 'am i being a bastard?' before saying no, and carrying on.

    It must have been very embarrassing for him.

    Was there any boos or heckles from the crowd?
