Bride says 'I Loo'


A bride has married in a dress made out of toilet roll. Jennifer Cannon in her toilet paper dress after getting married to Doy Nichols in New York /PA pics Jennifer Cannon and her fiancee Doy Nichols from Lexington, Kentucky, tied the knot in a temporary public toilet in Times Square, New York. The ceremony has been sponsored by toilet roll company Charmin. The dress was designed by Hanah Kim, winner of the 2007 Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest.

I'm sorry but they have to be taking the PISS!!!

Here's a pic of me last week on my sick bed in bits..."Hold on what's that smell...C'mere have i got the wrong thermometer...ah jaysus its a rectal....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Okay drum roll........dddddddrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...Hope your seated comfortably, put the kettle on, the slippers on da feet, the pipe in the mouth and pull the curtains.....It's time for Lenny's Photo Album official opening...Okay just have to turn the slide machine on....Click, Whirrrrr....Before i was struck down with a pretty virulent strain of "ManCold" i had spent the weekend in the fine city of Budapest...Here are a few of the select moments from me trip:

A large building in Budapest...they really like their big feckin buildings!

Hotel at night...wouldn't like to be paying the electricity bill in that joint

This is an old Chess Master who hung around the local market looking to take on any suckers at a game of cranium busting Chess...He found a willing volunteer in this child...The last image i recall from this scene is a blubbering, screaming adolescent forcibly having to hand over several chocolate bars and a Nintendo DS...The moral here being - don't fuck with oldies.

Local Blacksmith who reminded me of something from LOTR or Beowulf. He

looked like he could eat nails for Brekkie and with only a sprinkle of milk...Tough

Bastard.


Borat's brother is a huge pop star in Hungary...NICE!


Ah...getting to know the locals. I heard one of them say "Ah, that Lenny he is card, yes"


Back home to see this greet me...It's the RedFM Grotto!!!!!!!!


Meeting Santa...hold on i hope that's your wallet fat man


Big massive shout out to my cousin Richie Barry who spotted this Take Away in Cairns on the East coast of Oz..."C'mere biy any chance of a potato pie?"

And finally, i caught up with Bono in Budapest...His ego has now got so big he has decided to become all four members of U2 himself starting with the Edge...i hear his leg will become Larry Mullen...scary.

WELL IT'S OUT TOMORROW!!!! WAHEY!!!!!!!!!!

Flight of the Conchords - "Beautiful Girl"

VEGETABLE ORCHESTRA

The Vienna Vegetable Orchestra performs music solely on instruments made of vegetables. They use carrot flutes, carrot recorders, pepper trumpets, pumpkin basses, leek violins, leek-zucchini-vibrators, leek violin, cucumber-ophones and celery bongos.

This is what they say on their website:
"The ensemble overcomes preserved and marinated sound conceptions or tirelessly re-stewed listening habits, putting its focus on expanding the variety of vegetable instruments, developing novel musical ideas and exploring fresh vegetable sound gardens."
You can check them out at www.vegetableorchestra.org
Some of the instruments look like something a lady might purchase from a specialist catalogue.
There are 11 musicians in the Orchestra. They play everything from House, Jazz to Classical. They perform between 20 and 30 performances per year.
Nicklaus Gansterer, co-founder of the orchestra, explained how it all began: "We got the idea one day while we were cooking and chopping tomatoes.
"We got fascinated with the sound the chopping made, and from that moment we have started to hear music in a new way."
And if you’re wondering about what happens to all the Vegetables…At the end of the concert they make soup and distribute to the crowd.

The Vienna Vegetable Orchestra!!!

"Just one more ye bunch a langers...go on i've only had a spritzer"


Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, star of the Henry VIII soap opera "The Tudors," has been charged with public drunkenness and breach of the peace at Dublin Airport, police said Monday.

Rhys Meyers, 30, was arrested Sunday after police twice confronted him over his erratic, abusive behavior at an airport gate and at a desk of the British airline BMI, on which he was planning to fly to London.

Dublin Airport Police said they called Ireland's national police force, the Garda Siochana, after Rhys Meyers refused repeated requests to calm down.

Police charged him with two counts of violating the Public Order Act, then permitted him to pay an undisclosed cash bail on condition he return to Dublin District Court on Dec. 5 for his arraignment.

Rhys Meyers — who was admitted to a California alcoholism-treatment clinic in April and checked out the following month — was in Dublin to appear on "Tubridy Tonight," a Saturday night national talk show to promote his new film, "August Rush," costarring Robin Williams.

In an interview last year on the set of "The Tudors," Rhys Meyers said he felt restricted socializing in Ireland because of its hard-drinking pub culture.

"I gave up drinking a few years ago, and this is the first time I've spent time in my country trying not to drink," he told The Associated Press in October 2006.

"I would never drink again. It is hard to avoid. But listen, you do what you want to do. I don't want to do that," he said. "I want my career, and you can't really do that and be successful on the screen.

"I'm young. If I grow older, which I hope I do, there's going to be an awful lot of time to sit in your 60s and 70s and 80s, lots of time for Southern Comfort and ice then," he said. "Now? I've got business to take care of."

READ THE STORY FIRST, THEN LOOK AT THE PIC OF THE CAKE...
Keep in mind that this actually happened!!!! This is someone who was moving from a claims office. Okay so this is how I imagine this conversation went:

Superquinn Employee: 'Hello 'dis Superquinn, how can I help you?'

Customer: ' I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week.'

Superquinn Employee: 'What you want on the cake?'

Customer: 'Best Wishes Suzanne' and underneath that 'We will miss you'.

Superquinn Employee: 'Dat all? Okay, Bye.'



And you can't get funnier than this it's Peter Andre and his song "FLAVA"
Check out the guy in the blue shellsuit looking up his own arse...

This is the character TREEBEARD from The Lord Of The Rings - A real life Treebead has been discovered in Indonesia.


This is INCREDIBLE!!!! Go to the link below to see Video... The full show 'Half Man, Half Tree' is on DISCOVERY CHANNEL tonight at 9pm
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/14/wtree114.xml

Check out this guy - His name is Aries Spears, a comedian from Chicago who's been doing the DefJam circuit for years and appears on US Comedy MADtv

http://www.madtv.com/

(well worth checking out especially for their Steven Seagal and Kenny Rogers sketches). This is him appearing on a radio show and performing his party piece, incredible impressions of HipHop stars, LL COOL J, DMX and a superb JAY-Z...If Jay ever gives up the rap game out of boredom he just has to pay this guy to go into the studio for him!!

We asked you this morning - What famous Corkman not known for his musical prowess was singing the song we played?? Listen here -

http://www.myspace.com/jrmaugustrush

...Some of ye said Sean Og, John Creedon, Cillian Murphy, Pana Man and even Joe Mac but the answer of course was Jonathan Rhys Meyers - The biy from Buttevent better known in these parts as "Johnny O Keeffe" had to learn to play the geetar and sing on his latest movie August Rush. Its actually not that bad and sounds like a cross between Glen Hansard and Damien fried Rice although it sounds like he recorded it cowering in a cold shower just after breaking up with his one true love...aaaawwwwww.
Here's a pic of JRM trying to do his impression of the magician Kenny Craig off Little Britain..."Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around the eyes, look into my eyes ... ok, you're under"





DONT FORGET THE WORD IS BACK -

Here's your new sentence - "IF YOU’RE JUST JOINING US IT’S BEEN A BLANK BLANK".

Here's your moment of Zen - I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan and found this fantastic video of him and Allen Ginsberg at the grave of On The Road author Jack Kerouac...a brilliant read. The song playing is called "Not Dark Yet" from the album Time Out Of Mind

We had excellent up and coming singer/songwriter Owen Brady on with us this morning...He sounds a little like a very soulful Jeff Buckley...Owen and band member Kev did a live acoustic version of Owen latest single Been A Lot Better ...The reaction was superb and he has to be one of the best acoustic performers we have had in the studio on the Rooster...

Listen for yourself...Check out

And on other matters...I am constantly being accused of not having enough culture on my Blog...Every day i receive letters from folks wearing silk scarves sayin..."Oh hark Mr Lenny please engage us with some whimsy on Beethoven or regale us with a story or two about the last cheese and wine evening you attended" .. . So this is for the culture vultures...

...It's a lady playing the Cello...she just happens to have forgotten her clothes..oh how the orchestra laughed...then stared.

Have you ever been kept up late at night...but not in a good way...well if you have you're probably like me and you were twisting and turning as your overactive mind debated the finer points of your PAST LIFE...Yes, as if you didn't have eneough trouble dealing with this one, now we have a website that can tell us what we were doing before we were even BORN!!!!

Here's my evaluation...being a child born of the late seventies and growing up in the decade of Knight Rider and shoulder pads it probably makes sense...

Your past life diagnosis:

I don't know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Scotland around the year 1825. Your profession was that of a artist, magician or fortune teller.

Your brief psychological profile in your past life:

As a natural talent in psychology, you knew how to use your opportunities. Cold-blooded and calm in any situation.

The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:

The timid, lonely and self-confident people are everywhere, and your task is to overcome these tendencies in yourself and then to help other people.

Do you remember now? "Oh yeah its all coming back to me...Kilts, freezing cold days dancing in the mists of the Highlands trying to perform a card trick to a load of bored warriors...and then being chased and chopped in half after producing the wrong card" Lovely memories...

GO NOW AND CHECK IT OUT!!!!!

Mad Frankie our resident Spanish listener and sometime culinary genius was on the shoe this morning to tell us about his new style of cooking called...SPANRISH...Its genius you put all the best of Spanish Food with all the best of Irish...Jamie Oliver is shitting himself...Below are the results of Frankie's Black Spanish Omelette...He threw together ...SPUDS, ONIONS, SPICES, HERBS, EGGS and BLACK PUDDING with a pinch of kindness top create this plate of genius...

For DRINKS - BLACK SANGRIA - simply threw Guinness and Sangria together to create this Spanish/Irish Armada to crash adrift on the rocks of your taste buds!!!!!!!!!!!
