Hi there guys. I am sitting in my hotel room, which is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the Podshow party.

And damn are those podshowers loud and noisy.

Anyways, If you are at the PNME, come find me. I will should possibly have nice shiny business cards to give out and i will ALWAYS have a microphone with me.

Now FOR f$&ks sake, tell those Podshow people to SHUT UP!

VFTQ 67 - 1408, Dumb girls and Public Exams
Try GotoMeeting free for 30 days! For this special offer, visit www.gotomeeting.com/podcast

Today i talk about quite a lot, and seem to loose my vocabulary about 3/4 of the way through. Grunts ensue.
First on the list of things which MUST be talked about is the movie 1408. I give it a 8.5 out of ten, and think that you simply MUST go to it at some point. Bring something to hide behind!
Next, i bore you lot for about 4 minutes by talking about Formatting podcasts so as they make sense. Do you have a topic you want me to cover in the Tutorials section? Email me at cian@viewfromthequad.com and I will cover it if i know enough about said topic.
Next, i speak of the iPod Touch and how it is slowly being killed, before it is even released. DAMN YOU APPLE!
Next on the list are junior cert marks. The junior cert is the first proper public examination which ALL kids have to do. It tends to result in lots of boasting.
And lastly, Dumb girls. WHY do some boys seem to fancy only dumb girls? I do NOT get it. This actually annoys me.
