Hanging with Hector and Aidan O' Brien

How could I have forgotten such an unspeakable t**ser as Brosnan. I'm stepping down to let him into the top 3 - ahead of the Hector and the Dook.

(You can stop now, Homer, or I'll be compiling a list of Mayomen).

If I had my way I would get rid of the 'with' in the show title.

Post of the month.

Apologies Homer - don't know where that came from. Happy Christmas to all Mayomen and Cavanmen anyway.

have any of the lads in the us ever gone to a breeders cup ?

Went to it about 10 years ago when it was at Gulfstream Park, backed all the Irish horses and needless to say won nothing, good day out though.

In fairness lads you might think he's a tosser, etc, etc, but he has done quite a bit on TG4 to promote the use of an Ghaeilge among the youngsters....I remember an excellent show when he was in a squad car in NYC with a couple of 2nd generation Irish cops agus iad uilig i gcomhra as Gaeilge.....if anyone has a link to that episode ...would yiz mind putting it up here...mile maith agaibh.

Let yourself gooooooooooo

Aye, I know what you mean, 5 Sams. He speaks Irish and is therefore dead on.

if you want to be considered a proper Irishman you should learn a bit of it

Sorry I'm lost...where did I say that???

Wouldn't be a fan of Hector and only flicked over to this during a break elsewhere but it was riveting viewing and ended up watching most of it.

For those who don't know Hector has a radio show with i102104 every week with the aforementioned Tommy Tiernan. Was introduced to it over the Christmas and it's well worth a listen, you can download the podcasts here http://www.i102104.ie/tommyandhector/index.html. The standout ones are the interview with Trevor Brennan and Iterinants in Space...

I was just about to ask about the aformentioned radio program if anyone had heard it. I dont mind Hector that much and Im not just sticking up for him because he's a Meath man, he's harmless and found his travel-show he did on TG4 the most watchable of all travel shows.

Anyone know when/if this is been repeated?
