And they said it twice…
I’m just off the phone from talking to BBC Radio Five Live and the whole thing (all 6 mins and 43 seconds) can be heard on the Radio section of the Media page now!
I wonder what Five Live’s listenership figures are like… (i.e.: I wonder how many people heard me… !)
Tomorrow I’ll post up the stats for the site for the past week. To put it into context, in the whole week before, we had less than 70 hits… this week, it looks like we’ll break 80,000.

Hi,
Just heard you on 5 live and was directed to your website. I was listening in Canada and have not driven in Ireland for 20 years. Next time I am at home i will take the train, Enjoyed your interview and the best of luck with your site.
Yes I was one of the listeners to 5 live tonight. Good to listen to a story from Ireland as most of the time it is as if it doesnt exist. I hope your website encourages people to see the funny side of driving! Hope the BBC paid you for your time.
I heard you on Five Live and read the article in the Times yesterday when returning to England on the ferry after a week motorcycling round Ireland.
We had near perfect driving experiences until we hit the M50 on Friday – there were cars parked on the outside lane of the motorway -what’s that all about?
Good luck with the site. I’ve had a great time reading it this morning
Aye, R5 for moi aussi. Well when you get a word in your native tongue on the Beeb, it fairly leaps out at you. You’re lucky it was Chilled-Out-Guy, I reckon Nolan would have bitten your head off for swearifying on his show…
Are you maybe going to start up a Youtube link for pants-widdling live-action stuff? Go on. Go on go on..
Just remembered this…
I was told by the BBC R5 researcher that, as I’m an Irishman, and as she was sure I realised who Stephen Nolan was and knew his history, I’d probably be glad that I was talking to someone else who was standing in for him last night.
I told her that I was sorry but I wasn’t all too acquainted with Mr. Nolan or his work and wasn’t sure what she meant by that. She was surprised that I didn’t know of him and somehow deftly avoided explaining it any further.
I’m still at a loss as regards what she meant… oh well!
Oh… and the presenter (Neil something…) was the one who said ’shite’ twice in the interview. I don’t think I got to say it at all!
