Today, we lost a good friend. I have had the same sleeve/folder for the past five years, since my Beat Talk days. I use it to keep all the stuff we'll be talking about on the show in. What's most interesting is the amazing designs and doodles I've drawn on it over the years.However, after hanging on by a thread for the last few months, today it split and is now dead. Hence my sad face. It's kinda like the aftermath of Michael Jackson's death.... there is lots of talk in the office of the best way to remember it. Framing is a possible option. I'll keep you posted on the details of the memorial service once we get confirmation from Lionel Richie, Usher and Mariah Carey.
So, today was all about the Leaving Cert results as we were flooded with hundreds of texts from nervous young people who hadn't slept last night! We also talked about your memories of collecting results, and we heard about some pretty evil headmasters and teachers who poured scorn on students who didn't do well. Anyhow, well done to everyone who got results today - and don't go too crazy tonight!
This morning on the show, I spoke with charity fundraiser Frankie McEvoy and Pamela Horgan, who is the mother of 2 year old Sam from Mooncoin in Kilkenny. Sam suffers from Severe Development Delay, aswell as seizures, epilepsy and he is blind. The Baby Sam Appeal was set up to raise money to send Sam to China for stem cell treatment, but it's costly and they need your help with some fundraisers coming up. Check out the website and help out if you can.
