Stumbled in a little early. Encountered The Tudors for the first time. Astonished at the quality of acting.
Rather in the way I was astonished at the potato salad served in Spar Rolls on Thomas Street.
I'm only amongst the Tudors a few minutes and we've seen two people be threatened with burning. It must have been a cheery script meeting.
Vincent Browne teases us with talk of a Leader's Debate!
Vapourware?
Still exposing myself to the Tudors. Just saw the King of Germany say "Whadda you think my country is? A meat market?"
I am not sure Germany had a king, or was even a country, back in Tudor days.
He is the brother of Anne of Cleeves. Perhaps he was just king of Cleeves.
Well, after all those threats, we have our first burning.
They're not all anachronistic talk in The Tudors.
Not exactly a vast kingdom. And as we know, one didn't marry Anne of Cleeves for her looks
The Tudors cast a hottie as Anne of Cleeves. Makes Henry VII look even more a nutcase than was the case. Was this a subtle attempt by an Irish production to undermine the monarchy? Answer: No.
Tonight we have all the Euro candidates who haven't appeared before now. In no way is this a programme featuring no-hopers.
I am more interested in Anne of Cleeves

Leader Debate update. Enda agreed.
When will this meeting of minds occur?
Sean Dorgan of FF said that a leader's debate would involve, you know, just the leaders. And therefore they didn't much like it. Having a man who is radioactive to voters as leader, I can only presume.
Nobody else would go on without Cowen. Boo.
Foolish. Always better to turn up and badmouth the no-show for cowardice
So Thomas Sharkey and who else tonight?
Does anyone have any background on these guys. One is a SF guy, whose name Vincent just got wrong.
Sorry, I should say he is the 2nd candidate for SF in Ireland East.
is the singing farmer there?
Either my ears are misbehaving worse than usual, or he is speaking in gibberish fragments about cattle barons ripping the backside out of small farmers and undermining Ireland's nuclear position.
That's a big Fainne..
How can Vincent gather the energy for these questions. This guy just claimed Homer Simpson's cousin was in charge of Sellafield.
Next up, John F. Higgins, Independent.
John F Higgins wins tie competition
Warns us that Ireland has become dangerously circular.
Down with Circularity...
He is standing on a ticket of protecting young people by being old and therefore knowing better than them.
Burst of lucidity- MEPs voted to allow lower/higher Loan to Value financing for mortgages.
No, he's gone again. Negative Equity is contrary to Christ's will.
He has a website but nobody's home

And next, Alexander Stafford. He has lots and lots of posters across Munster, as I can attest.
He is a consultant radiologist and he is a friend to all parties. But he is from Limerick, unlike all other Ireland South candidates.
Limerick's only candidate - Alexander Stafford...
How does Christ feel about Credit Default Swaps?
Unemployment and jobs not his area of expertise, he assures us. But he'll take it on if elected.
