Todays news!

Well todays show was a crackin piece of fun. Katherine Lynch called into our Dundrum studios to sah hi & tell us all about her tour & all the other surprising things she's getting up to.....

katherinelynch.jpg
She's got an album of her own song  (not the comedy ones) coming out next year. She's going to acting school in New York. She's in the middle of a tour round Ireland now. Check www.ticketmaster.ie for details. And she's off to Nice in France in January. So get her while she's here!!

Then Paddy threw me a bit of a curve ball & wanted me to help pick a coat for his next Storyfold video

The first clanger was that his beloved moustache "Gearoid" is no longer with us. He's being removed for the video!! Then I had to decide between these two coats.... What do you think?

paddy1.jpgAside from the fact that he looks like he's got boobs, I think he's starting to channel the look of the boys from Royseven!! See for yourself.......

royseven.jpgTold ya so!

This is the look we plumped for in the end. it says " where did I leave my pipe and my Financial Times and my fender stratocaster guitar?!"

At least, we think it will when he's shaven the tache off (temporarily!) and has a shirt on under it! Gooooo Paddy!

Until next week, adieu!



Shovel hands!

Paddy  McKenna thought he'd spotted a trend-setter in the midst today. He was sorely mistaken. It was just Ruth Scott wearing her watch over her sleeve. And the reason for this random placement of jewellry?.... Ruth is convinced that she has huge hands. She reckons that when she pulls her sleeves down over her hands - the way she did with her school uniform - her hands look dainty and less like the shovel-hands that she actually feels she's got. conversely, Ruth feels that large hands maketh the man. Careful what you wish for!

Poor poor girl. Ruth, there's probably support-groups for people like you with big hands!

Wanna be one of the first to see the new Puss In Boots film?

Ruth and Paddy have teamed up with DreamWorks Animation for the release of Puss in Boots, the purrrfect family movie  released here December 9.

Euro 2012 here we come - remember when....

We think it's okay to count our chickens. We're home and hosed after that 0-4 mullering of Estonia. To celebrate, Paddy chopped together a classic from our last Euro qualification in 1988 with some of last night's highlights...



We Are The Boys In Green 2011 on RTE2fm by 2fmSoundCloudIreland

Paddy's mo goes national

Let's be honest, he's been rattling on about this mo for a long ole time but it is all for a good cause - Movember. Men grown moustaches for the month of November, collect sponsorship and all donations go to male cancer charities.He featured in the Sunday Independent 'Life' magazine last weekend, where he looked a bit like Midge Ure from Ultravox.....

We should be really mad with Mark McCarthy....

...he's only gone and jumped the gun, jinxing the boys in green by writing a Euro 2012 song BEFORE we've actually qualified. But when you pay homage to Shay Given by writing a line like 'he's gonna stop your balls, put an end to your flight', how can you stay mad? He's our Hero of the Week....



2FM Dressup for Barnardos.....

On Thursday night, the students from UCC had Ruth & Paddy along to DJ their Halloween ball. Since all of 2FM were doing the dress-up for Barnardos, it seemed right to go to a venue where 2,000 people would be in fancy dress! 

It was a full house & we heard that demand was so high that a thousand people had to be turned away! 

shriek! High excitement! Here's a few of the pics. Excuse the smoky look. The dry-ice machine was in overdrive!!

Incidentally, Paddy's the one in the gorilla suit & Ruth's the one in the pink princess dress. Lifelong ambitions for both of them we suspect!!
