Irish station RTE have the news about Honeycomb on the entertainment page of they're teletext(mainstream acceptance at last!). It's funny, since they're reunion, the Pixies have been covered on various TV station's teletext-now it seems like Frank is back in the limelight!

Frank deserves all the publicity and $ and recognition in the world,
all the better for a Catholics Honeycomb tour.


I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics

I've said it before - The Lyrics Board rocks! In a so-bad-it's-good kinda way.
And I get a great laugh out of the state of some of the contestants on Winning Streak.
What about Fair City? Now that's unforgiveable.

Don't worry, Bazza-I remember that too! And, indeed, you've just pointed out probably the worst show EVER on Irish television.

In fact, I've just been thinking..it was actually a bit like Father Ted, only unintentionally funny!

Yeah, the Cassidy's and leave it Mrs O'Brien were proper bollix.

And how about Quicksilver with Bunny Carr? "You're playing for a 10p question" or whatever it was. Brilliant.
And I used to love Murphy's Micro Quiz-M. What a name.

That's it! A crap comedy that's funny for the wrong reasons (i.e so bad) could summon up The Cassidys!(although, to be fair, I only saw a bit of it, but it seemed awful-in fact, I was mixing up with that 'Upwardly Mobile'(I think it was called), which was like a comedy version of Fair City, or something. Only not funny!)

Edited for spelling! PS-This has turned into an Irish TV thread!!
