Twang Twang...

... The Banjo has been dusted off and this time I'm determined to master it. I now know how to play "Molly Malone" and have just moved on to "The Wild Rover", exciting times!! Although I was told the other night by my boyfriend that I kind of reminded him of Father Ted playing "My Lovely Horse" on the guitar... "Hang on, I can get this...".

In other music related meanderings! I've only recently discovered the secret to a good jog is a great soundtrack but last night the shuffle died just as I was getting ready to pound the roads. So I reached for the backup, which is about ten times the size and not very practical when running but I needed some sort of beat, so the Sony Walkman it was. I never checked what was actually on this before I took off and just hit play and hoped for the best. What I heard one wouldn't necessarily call jogging music but what a ditty:

Wait till I learn this one on the banjo, there'll be no stopping me!!

If ya can't beat em join em!!

So BellX1 came in today and took over my Production Studio which I obviously had no problem with. Regular listeners to my show will know I find Paul Noonan quite pleasing on the eye. So in they came, we were all introduced, nice guys, had a brief chat with them then left them to it as Colm and KC were interviewing them for their shows- (Transmission Friday's 7pm/ Red Rooster weekdays 6am). Eimear, never one to miss a photo op, grabbed a camera and as I was coming in to grab something out of my office she followed me and asked the lads for a photo, they said yes, Colm and KC weren't as keen (we weren't that bothered by them either, we see them everyday) but me being the eternal poser volunteered to be in the shot too, I think out of politeness nobody said "Why", so in I bounded, stood in front of the mic and told everyone to pretend we were playing a song and I was the new singer (it was funny in my head)! Clearly nobody else found this amusing as you can see below!

But what followed was, after the recording was done and the lads were leaving Paul Noonan was passing and I offered to show him the picture (while twirling my hair and fluttering my eye-lids, I drew the line at opening the top button). He politely obliged, he's obviously used to humouring sad, drooling at the mouth individuals. And made a comment that went something like "you have it already" to which I replied something deformed like "Yeah we're really fast" to which Dave Mac stuck his oar in and added "And Loose"! What followed was me very awkwardly laughing while trying to mouth "you're dead" to Mac and fobbing off his comment! (For the record I am in no way loose and am in a very loving relationship). Then Paul Noonan made another comment about the photo saying I was very Edith Piaff like in my pose, again more giggling from me and manically muttering some answer and again Dave Mac opened his mouth, this time to say," yeah except for La Vie en Rose, you're more La Vie En Rosé". Thanks Dave, In the space of 2 minutes you indicated to BellX1 I am a drunk whore. Remind me to return the favour and talk you up sometime!!!! Sheesh!

Karma...

... I'm a huge believer in Karma and I've blogged a story or two about it in the past. But if ever you needed proof that karma existed, wonder no more. In my local shopping centre yesterday buying some food for dinner. In between scanning my bits and pieces I picked up a bag to pack all my items in (why else?!). After I had paid my money and packed my things off I trotted out to my car, just as I got out of the shop I remembered, I never scanned the plastic bag. Instant reaction was of course to go back and fess up my criminal activities but on further pontification I decided I frequent this establishment 5 out of 7 days of the week, I always pay for everything (obviously) and in some cases, let's face it, over pay, it's the least they owe me a 0.22 cent bag. But the Universe had other ideas and just as I had decided on a life of crime (or at least one evening)... the bag burst! I kid you not , right down the side it burst open- as quick as the hulk loses his shirt when angered, as quick as Jonathan Rys Myers derobes every lady who crosses his path in The Tudors and as quick as Vincent BRown can bring your ass down to earth (haha last night with political guests from all parties who were not leaders- "We're stuck with this lot"- priceless)- anyway enough analogies, you get it... it happended QUICKLY. And that my friends... is KARMA at it's best!

Think I'll scan my bag twice this evening!!
