    Hi George,

    Heading to Bangkok for 3 days from January 1st to kickstart our honeymoon, have heard yourself and Fionn discuss bangkok on a few occasions on the show, just wondering has Fionn any recommendations on a nice hotel, somewhere a bit different as I am a hotel manager by trade. Also what suggestions would he have with regards our itinerary considering we only have 3 days.

    Thanks
    Donal

Well done Shane Diffily - and George Hook. Just visited likeplace.ie - very informative site.

What a relief to hear this guy get contradicted. Hook lets him get away with so many outright lies, half-truths, and exaggerations. Lot The Fox News crowd are now harping on about Obama treating the 'underpants' bomber like a normal criminal rather than a Dr. Evil-type supervillain. Conveniently ignoring the fact that Richard Reid was treated the same way under the Bush administration, complete with trial in a federal court. As if there isn't enough home-grown right-wing cranks like Myers and Harris with free access to the airwaves.

George, Any plans to have a singles quiz night in Cork??Format seems innovative and would go down well in the southern capital munsterSam
