How can I help you?" TF: "Yes, hello? Judging by your accent, you are not from Armagh and may not be aware that on the 21st of September, in the Cathedral we call Croke, a new glorious reign will be invoked..." Receptionist: "I'm sorry sir, but there are other calls on my switchboard." TF: "...as the Great McGeeney flexes his manly biceps and lifts the sacred cup above his Bryonic brow, surveying the gathered masses, disdainful of the Tyrone hordes put to flight as once again Sam Maguire makes his voyage north, as Ulyssess once set forth for Ithaca..." Receptionist: "Sam Magure? You mean the football? But is that not on -" TF: " And as Joe and his Orange Brigade shall be setting up camp, as it were for the weekend in your fine establishment, accompanied no doubt by such flaming celestial stars as Elton John, Rod Stewart, Jarlath Burns and maybe the boys from End to End, with whom I am of course on a first name basis, or should I say they are on a first name basis with me (giggles girlishly) but I digress! As such may I book a room for myself, my fine maiden, but not my mother, she didn't get a ticket, hard lines, she's not a true fan, for the 20th and 21st of the month of September." Receptionist: "(to herself) For f**ks sake. (smartening up) Of course sir, we have a fine room for a great rate of €100 for that weekend." TF: "Splendid! Expect my arrival forthwith! Now I must not tarry as there is a table quiz on in the local hostelry tonight, the prize being an epic trip to historic Bunratty Castle for two nights, breakfast included -" Receptionist: "(hanging up) I'm not paid enough to listen to that shite. I hope I'm off that weekend." The Conversation 2 - starring Krusty the Klown as Tony Fearon Receptionist: "Hello City West?" TF:" Due to the machinations of a GAA administration that is too far removed from the grassroots that sustain it i.e. me, the All Ireland Final has been rescheduled a week later than promised, almost as if the very thought of good, honest Armagh men cavorting with Sam was too hard for the faceless grey suits to bear-" Receptionist: "Sir, you got the dates wrong and now you want to change your reservation to the following week, is that right sir? And tell the truth." TF: "...yes." Receptionist: "We have no rooms available for that weekend and we do not refund on cancellations. Is that alright sir?" TF: "...yes." Receptionist: "Goodbye sir.(hangs up) Plank."

Excellent. I wonder what happened Easytiger. Wasn't he a journalist of some sort? He was a dub if I remember correctly.

[T Fearon]

This is like a current repeat of Father Ted. Mildly funny originally, but as most of the audience have seen it at least ten times, it is now depressingly boring, and if this was a subscription service, punters would be seeking a refund.

Now if you want a real contemporary laugh, consider Meath's "performance" against Monaghan yesterday!

No, like Father Ted, this never gets old and is as funny now as it was the first time. You know whats coming but you still laugh anyway.

Watching the fat man go head over heels after slipping on the banana skin - funny. When he steps out of the screen to tell you it's not funny at all - priceless.

He was a journalist and a dub OK. He worked on the Breaking Ball programme, for one.

Ya know, there's a reason this was in the archives. What's funny about this!?

[Orior]

Well, it made me laugh.

[deiseach]

It's a pity the original post is no more. The lost works of Sophocles are but the output of Stock, Aitken & Waterman by comparison.

Well, it made me laugh.

Each to their own, I suppose. I find nothing funny about it. And comparing it to Father Ted, well that's just blasphemy!

You do know that its a true story?
That TF came on one morning boasting about the great deal he got for the AI weekend, and that the team would also be staying there and what great parties there'd be, etc.
Only for another poster to point out that he'd booked the wrong weekend!
Maybe you had to be there....

That and TF insisting for years after that it wasn't funny, which made it even funnier.

Finished that for ya.

I think you have to remember TF's persona at the time also, which caused it to be much more amusing
