Blue Monday

Today was supposedly Blue Monday... the most depressing day of the year! We tried to get through it with some fun with the following stories.....

Speaking of irritating adverts, I'm not normally one to condone violence against children... but am I the only one who wants to cause this child pain?!



Vinny's Big Hard One
Clue: I eat and eat but I'm never full. I catch my prey with my strong pull. I can be great or very small. But no matter what I eat it all. Nothing escapes, not even light. Although things try to put up a fight. I'm not found on earth, I'm very far. To find me, you must look to the stars!
What am I?
Answer: A black hole.

Going For A Song
Clue:
Famous arch-duke of Austria; request to bring one to a place or event.
The answer is here.

Back tomorrow from ten to seven!

Keith's note

This is the note that Keith had locked inside a box, of which only I had the key.

He asked our caller Amy to think of a word she might see on the front of a newspaper. She thought of the word "Gately".... and when I opened the box, this is the note that was inside!

Keith Barry

The druid master, and presenter of Deal or no Deal, Keith Barry joined us in studio this morning for a chat and to show off a few tricks.

Pretty amazing stuff I must say. The tricks with callers Amy and Matthew were good, but I was blown away when Keith revealed Vinny's pin number live on air! If anyone can get their hands on Vinny's card today, they might be pretty wealthy. He still has his communion money in his account!

Keith will be bringing his new show, The Asylum, to the Forum in Waterford this Friday and Saturday, and to the Wexford Opera House for the next two Sundays.

Some other stuff from today's show...
