ARTHUR'S DAY
Of course there was no way we could get through this morning's show without mentioning that it is in fact Arthur's Day. One of the things we thought would be fun to do is get you all to text in your toasts because at 17.59 this evening as people all over Ireland and the rest of the world will be saying "To Arthur" (or "To Martha" if you've seen the ad) we also thought it would be nice to know who else you would like to toast with a pint of the black stuff. So here's a selection of your texts with your own personal toasts.

OUR RECOMMENDS
As always on a Thursday we have our Recommends slot. This week Jacqui started off by recommending people go on Skype at 17.59 and share a Guinness with people from all parts of the world. Find out more by going to www.skype.com
Colm recommended people attend the Galway Oyster Festival this weekend. He's going to be down there for the show tomorrow morning and there's loads going on all over the weekend because of it. You can find out more about what's happening by logging on to www.galwayosterfest.com
And finally Jim recommended a book he's reading at the moment called Bad Boy Drive: The Wild Lives and Fast Times of Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson.
It's described like this: "Bad Boy Drive traces the intertwining lives and careers of movie mavericks Brando, Hopper, Beatty and Nicholson; it's a whistle-stop tour of jaw-dropping sexual activity, misbehaviour of an Olympic standad, all-out excess and genuine madness. It's a wonder Hollywood survived."
It was only published in May of this year so should be available in all good bookstores.
