THE MUPPETS SING QUEEN

It's one of the most iconic videos of all time and one of the most difficult songs to sing but nothing is impossible for The Muppets and this YouTube clip of them singing Bohemian Rhapsody is doing the rounds online at the moment. It was put together to mark the 18th anniversary of Freddie Mercury's death on November 24th and has already had over a million views on YouTube.

Now here's your chance to take a look at it yourself. We love it!!!

AMANDA'S MOVIE MINUTE

This week Amanda took a look at the new scary movie everyone is talking about Paranormal Activity and gave it the thumbs up. She's not easily scared and although she said the film itself isn't that frightning, it's the anticipation and eerie build up that stays with you long afterwards - the night after Amanda watched it, she found herself getting the heebie jeebies when she went to the bathoom and the light was on - yeah, it's that unsettling it can make a bathroom light freak you out.

Check out the trailer here but Amanda thinks you're much better off going into this cold. The trailer will ruin all the best scares in the movie and take away from the anticipation. You have been warned...

FIRST TIME FRIDAY

As we always do every Friday, we have kids on to talk about their First Time experiences. We also encourage you to text in as we can't bring every child on air. Today we had an extra special First Time Friday slot as twins Alex and Holly Butler from Dublin went to Liverpool for us to review Disney on Ice's Princess Wishes show which is coming to CityWest on Stephen's Day. It was their first time out of the country as they had to get their first ever passports to travel for our review and they loved the show and highly recommend kids go see it.

ATHLONE FLOOD APPEAL

This morning we had Angus O'Rourke, the former president of the Local Chambers of Commerce in Athlone on the show. He was making an appeal for clothes, electrical equipment, bed linen and other such items to help the victims of the floods in Athlone.

The victims advice centre is housed in the old Barretts Shoe Shop in Athlone Town Shopping Centre. It is taking all sorts of donations and if you have anything you wish to donate you can contact their emergency relief phone number at 086 1725418. There's also a fund set up in the Athlone Credit Union that people can donate money to.
