My birthday today, off on an OB in Sligo tomorrow in the Roadcaster and then off to party for the weekend, so it’ll be quiet for a few days here, but before I go I just had to share this…

My lovely Amanda who used to work on the show and has been one of my closest friends for years now is cleaning out her mailbox here in RTE. She came across a script she wrote for the show in November 2006.

 

TWITTER READIE:

People come up with the strangest and yet wonderful ideas for websites these days, especially those that involve interaction of some sort… one of our favourites that we’ve come across this week is twitter.com…

Twitter is just a global community of people all answering one simple question by either posting via their computer or their mobile – and that question is what are you doing…?

Some answers that were posted to the website today include the following…

Yen (unsuccessfully) trying to digest all the cake I baked and ate tonight

Dan G Walking to the tube in the bright sunshine

ale Practising my Game Boy playing for nearby live events

Ouli having hard times with one tooth! Feel like having 100 needles jabbing my head now

Dave Disgruntled I get to work early for a meeting and no one else shows up! Gggrrrrr!

Chris Brogan Waiting for the chiropractor to open. Ow!

Angelique Excited that for the first time this week I might be able to sleep at 4AM!

So we’ve decided we’d love to get a snapshot of what our listeners are doing right now this minute… apart from listening to the radio of course… and we want details, the more specific the better… if you’re eating, tell us what you’re having… if you’re in your car, where are you… if you’re reading, what is the book…? And the more unusual your situation, the more we want to hear about it…

Ring us on 1850 715 922 or Text us now on 087 7720000…

So we asked people to “tweet” the show… She than continued in the mail she wrote up after:

And then the texts and the phone lines went completely crazy – a guy even rang us from Portlaoise to say he had just gotten out of prison but he wouldn’t go on air… here are a snapshot of some of the texts we got, some of them were funny, some were even a bit emotional and a few not surprisingly were smutty …
