Happy Pancake Tuesday!

The day has finally dawned.... time to stuff yourself with pancakes! If you're lucky, you'll have someone else make them for you. Enjoy either way!

Today's show was mostly about getting people to notice you. We were discussing it because of this controversial article on my favourite website Askmen.com.

We heard lots of loser-ish behaviour... such as walking three miles everyday just to bump into someone you fancy. Also the old "accidental" text deliberately sent.

This developed into an interesting conversation about people who work in bars and nightclubs. Barstaff were onto us, and they claimed that they get lots of phone numbers given to them at work, and once bouncer told us he gets more phone numbers than 11811!

Our video of the day is exactly what is needed today - a musical guide to making pancakes!


Some other stuff from today's show:-

• You gotta feel sorry for this guy
• People are probably talking about you at work
• Ever wondered whether the Pope likes Oasis?

And we're back!

Hello there!

Today's pic of the day is of Vinny's odd socks! More of that in a minute...

Firstly, apologies for the lack of blog updates lately. I've was on my holidays in Tibet finding myself for a couple of weeks, and we also got into trouble with blogspot for some unexplainable reason.

Anyhow, we're back with a bang - and we're back dealing with all of the important issues of the day... such as odd socks!


We were talking about the socks because of a news report from the UK in which paramedics and hospital staff were told they are no longer allowed wear novelty socks. On Beat Breakfast this morning, we learned that this policy exists also in South East hospitals. One nurse told us that she was berated by a senior nurse for wearing novelty socks.

I don't really mind what socks you wear, once they are not those creepy individual toe sock things!

We also spoke to comedian Ardal O'Hanlon this morning. He is playing in Carlow and Waterford this weekend, and he has gigs coming up in Kilkenny and Wexford aswell. Ardal made some pretty scathing comments about George Lee's hissy fit, and if you missed it, you'll get another chance to hear it on the Best of Beat Breakfast this weekend.

Speaking of missing things, I didn't see Barrymore on the Saturday Night Show last weekend, but we had SO many texts about it. Here's a chance to watch it if you missed it....


Some other stuff from this morning's show....

• All I will say is... thank God it's not Gail and Eileen!
• This story is just nuts!
• Definition of disappointment
• Keep an eye for a little bird this Valentine's Day
