Auditions and Disappointments!

On the right my friends is a surfboard. Not sure who owns it, or whose autograph is on it. It's purely for illustration purposes as it's the second item on the beach treasure hunt - giving you the chance to win an overnight stay in Tramore with dinner and a John Spillane gig this weekend.

You need to text in all of the items on Friday morning. We're calling an item out each day at 8.25, but if you miss them, you can find them here on the blog! So well done you for reading this!




To today's show - it was all about auditions and disappointments. The two thankfully aren't linked. Auditions refers to last night's open auditions for the 3 Beat Fleet which were held at the Woodlands Hotel in Waterford. We were absolutely swamped with people! It was like those scenes at the start of X Factor when all the hopefuls cram into a football stadium. Anyhow, we met some wonderful people. Thanks for coming, being patient, and apologies we couldn't spend more time talking to you. A number of people will be called back for interview soon - and will be spotted in the near future cruising around the South East in the minis!

On a separate note, we dealt with life's disappointments. The top disappointment in a recent poll was bad weather on holidays. You can read the full top 50 here. I spoke of the time I shook my wrapped Xmas presents under the tree on Xmas Eve - and convinced myself I was getting a Sony Discman. Turned out to be a Lynx set :(

Some other stuff from today's show:-

• I bet you feel glued to your bed every morning.... unable to get up - but spare a thought for poor Myleene Klaas.
  
• Are Irish men's legs really THAT bad?!!
• You thought that you were really bad at driving when you started out?!

Today's Big Hard One:-
Clue: There are 30 passengers on a bus. 19 get off at the first stop, 6 get off at the second stop and 2 get off on the third stop. How many people are left on the bus?
Ans: Four. (Don't forget the driver!!)

Going For A Song:-
Clue: Leg joint says Hi in an 80s way and feels loss at not getting daily newspaper.
Ans: Check it out here.

Tomorrow, a chance to win a VIP day out at Gowran Races on the Lying King!
