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! :(

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.. Aye, R5 for moi aussi. Well when you get a word in your native tongue on the Beeb, it fairly leaps out at you.

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 :-) 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.

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.
