Croker last night...

If you've ever been to an Ireland game in the good old days, you'll know 'Rockin' All Over The World' is played after a victory.. Last night when the final whistle went, 'Chasing Cars' started to pump out over a subdued Croke Park and I can't think of a more suitable song to end the match.

Didn't take part in the booing at all, don't think it was right to be honest and the "get Staunton out" chants made me feel like I was sitting somewhere in the UK at a Second Division match and a load of "fans" who don't know better following the chant like sheep.

What next for Ireland?

Here's a couple of pictures I took from my seat on the Hill last night, pre match I might add when the atmosphere was a fair bit better :-)

Here's the Cadbury gorilla ad !!

Things I've seen today..

The first being a very clever company who are now on the back of buses selling breathalysers so you can check if you are over the limit after a pint or maybe the next morning...



The second things I saw today which I thought might interest you is this t shirt one of our staff has on today. Now this t shirt is not a freebie, it was bought in a normal clothes shop but what company do you think of when you read it???!!

It's gone!!!!!

We got thousands of texts on The Jam yesterday as you lot guessed by text, what FM104's What's That Sound was.

Nina Dawson got it - she was the ONLY text that had it right and she picked up €2,000 for her troubles!

The sound was the sound of a fire extinguisher handle being pulled up and dropped.

Now, I have to think up a new sound over the next few hours to wreck your head again today from 4.40 on The Jam...

This is what we did to Phil's (one of our agency sales guys) chocolate Easter bunny when he went downstairs for a smoke!!!








I was at the Ireland match last night, was a great atmosphere and Shay Given got such a reaction from the fans when he started gestering with his arms to start roaring...

It's been a while...

Some people are sooooooooo good at updating their online life.. me on the other hand !!

Just to update you on The Jam... What's That Sound is now at €1050 today which is a serious amount of money for someone to win and it could be you if you can solve what the sound is...

Leaving work last night was pretty cool as it was still bright - roll on the Irish summer.

Heading to tomorrow's match in Croker and I am hoping we can blag a win out of it. It used to be quite handy heading across the road to Lansdowne with the radio station being so close but it's a bit of a trek now to get there for a 7.30 kick off!!!

Don't forget to check out my FM104 Bebo where you can throw up a comment or sign up as a friend of the show.. it's all on http://fm104-dj.bebo.com

I can't figure out how to put my own pictures on it but it looks cool on my desk all the same so thanks Adidas!!

Oops....US Navy girl sacked for posing in Playboy!



Sarge sacked over Playboy pics

A US Air Force drill sergeant has been demoted - for posing nude for Playboy magazine.

Michelle Manhart, who appeared in a six-page spread in the February issue, has been demoted from staff sergeant to senior airman.

"I'm disappointed in our system," Manhart said. "They went too far with it."

Manhart said she was reverted to her Air National Guard status and that she submitted a "resignation" to the Guard.

She was a member of the Iowa Air National Guard before going on extended active duty, reports Sky News.

The 30-year-old mother of two, said the military's action against her hinged on the fact that she was pictured wearing her uniform.

She was photographed in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline 'Tough Love'.
Additional pages showed her partially clothed wearing dog tags and fully nude.

After the pictures went public in January, Manhart was relieved of her duties pending an investigation.
Now, where's the nearest newsagents !!?
