Pencil that date and that time into your diaries. If you don't have a diary then sprint madly out the door this instant and buy one. If you don't have a pencil…then, God help us, the recession must be shafting you most brutally.
So what's so special about Friday, 5th December, 2008 @ 9.00 p.m? Well, that's when the 2nd annual (Live) Manky Toy Show kicks off. The date chosen is not entirely random or arbitrary – being exactly one week after RTÉ bores us all to slow and painful death with its own Lame Lame Show version.
So if, tomorrow night, you find yourself compelled to put your boot through the TV (in a vain & desperate attempt to utterly destroy Pat Kenny's fat, monstrous face) then join us here on the 5th for a jolly antidote to the Late Late's festering poison. There's nothing like 2 Euro mank to put a seasonal spring in your step. It beats succumbing to impotent rage and gnawing your fists into bloody stumps at any rate.
Don't forget that I'm also encouraging active audience participation. If you happen to stumble across a Manky Toy that you feel warrants inclusion then please don't hesitate to send it to Fústar HQ (address available on request). It'll help foster the right collaborative spirit…and save me money.

Just watched the last 1/2 hour of the Late Late. Was it always (even in the Gaybo years) so oddly paced? Half the time Pat is racing through the segments like a madman and the other half sees him, and the chiddlers, sitting in near silence as a toy very slowly does its stuff.
I turned it off after the creepy mechanical dog “Biscuit” was followed by another creepy mechanical dog. Get the poor girl a real pooch instead.
Do you mean Pat Kenny? I suppose he is creepy. Certainly mechanical. Possibly…er…a dog…
Have fun, Fustar (if I’m not around late afternoon East Coast time, I’ll check out the show over the weekend)
see ya
Barack Obama asked me to do some thing or other for him this evening, in exchange for the US company of my choice. I told him “Sorry, I’ve plans.”
Ira,
Thanks. Should be wholesome fun for all the family.
Simon,
Barack Obama? He never responded to my kind invitation to join in tonight’s festivities. What a loser.
