• Communion Time

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2012/05/16/communion-time/

  

  It’s Communion season and all the kids are running around with pockets full of cash. Back in the day getting a £20 note was heaven, you would think you’re rich! Nowadays we’re hearing of kids raking in thousands. How times have change!

  This morning Niall wanted to hear all those Communion money stories listen here to caller Enda with his nostalgic memories.

  Are you a social networking addict, how much updating is too much??That was the question in our daily dilemma. The Beat Breakfast Podcast has all the juice!

  Bye-bye for now!

• So near yet so far

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2012/05/14/so-near-yet-so-far/

  

  Ever been so close yet so far? Imagine  you’re at the last leg of the competition of a lifetime and you think you have it in the bag, then quicker than you could spell winner,the rug was unforgivably pulled from beneath you! Vinny and one of  the Beat Breakfast callers had similar mishaps  that were shared with the south East. Oh how I felt her pain!

  In these cases the ‘ole brush yourself and try again motto is incredibly difficult, I would certainly  not be in the humour to think positively!

  Lots more tomorrw,

• Lost and Found

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2012/05/09/lost-and-found/

  

  This morning the Beat Breakfast crew were talking about the stuff you might have lost but have turned up at a later stage.

  I had this conversation with a friend a few months ago and the joy and elation we feel when we find it even if it is something relatively small. Feeling like it’s the 25th of December all over again.

  Niall lost a kitten and Jeri lost a number listen here to some of the lost and found tales of the South East

  So on to the daily dilemma and our emailer was sick of friends going on and o about her boyfriend being “whipped”. The Beat Breakfast Podcast has all the details and of course I will be putting up all the reactions we have gotten tomorrow.

  In the mean while have a little think about how you would solve this dilemma!

  More tomorrow folks

• Adverts spice things up

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2012/05/08/adverts-spice-things-up/

  

  On this mornings show Niall,Mary and Vinny talked about Favourite TV adverts. I think one of the main ‘favourited’ advert is the Lyons tea ad where the tag line is They ‘put the talk in tea’.

  Personally that is one of my all time favourites as well and the tag line is a really clever addition. The Old Spice advert is also a pretty good! It shows the power of advertising because before that Old spice suffered a slump in sales and then after the old spice man came out with his spiced up take on things, they were back on top! The set changes and his straight faced composure sells the whole concept.

  I always wonder about the minds behind the ads especially when I see a really clever idea!

  Beat 102103 are giving a football fan the opportunity to head to the Ireland vs Italy match in Poland for the Euro 2012! So listen all this week if you want to be in with a chance of winning.

  More tomorrow,

• First day of Summer

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2012/05/01/first-day-of-summer/

  

  It seems like I’m talking about the weather a lot these days and maybe that’s because I am, but my reason for lamenting is due to it being “summer time”. It’s the first day of summer today but looking through ones window one might think otherwise!

  I’m going to stop myself every time I feel a weather comment coming on! This morning though Niall asked how do you know it’s summer? I know it’s summer when I have to sleep with my window open or risk the chance of waking up in a pool…of sweat that is!

  Boy o Boy did we get a reaction to the dilemma! Some were in favour of the mother going back for the sake of the family others thought she would be stupid to go back to a man that left her in the lurch. Here are the callers Dilemma!

  It’s so interesting to hear how opinions can differ and you can see the points in both arguments, but really I don’t think it would be easy to go back on the other hand who knows  he could have possibly been in shock, that can cause a lot of people to react in strange ways!

  Of course there will be plenty more tomorrow!

• OMG I WON!

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2012/04/30/omg-i-won/

  

  What’s your biggest win?

  After hearing some of the wins this morning I couldn’t help but giggle. Some people won major awards in sports and others were,em, how do I put this, a little out there but a win nonetheless.

  Here is caller Sarah with her trophy moment, Vinny certainly gave his stamp of approval with his deafening WAYHAY! Mary had a win to share as well listen here to these I won moments.

  After announcing her pregnancy to her then boyfriend our daily dilemma emailer had to face his harsh words when her babydaddy opted to drop her and his unborn child like hot bread!Now a year later she has moved on and has found a new man but guess who is back a like a bad rash,Mr. Shady!

  Yes the twist in the tale, the ex is back and wants in on the good times. Needless to say this sparked more than a few opinions and in the usual dilemma fashion I will have it all tomorrow!

  Enjoy the rest of the day more chat in the ‘morrow!

• Weather or not!

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2012/04/25/weather-or-not/

  

  The weather seems to have a bipolar personality and right now it’s going through one of the low stages. The forecast for today and the rest of the week is wind,rain and general stormy conditions.

  If you have been out and about the past few days you would understand what a shock this is for everyone because we could quiet literally have been walking around in our bikini’s and shorts and have gotten a tan!

  This then brought us on to the topic of  the weather here in Ireland and your experiences listen here.

  As for the daily dilemma some great advice was given listen here to the dilemma response. I agree with the landlord visited advice clever and a bit sneaky but at least it will get the job  done!

  Lots more tomorrow!

• Oops,mistaken identity

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2012/04/24/oopsmistaken-identity/

  

  Look-a-likes was the topic of conversation today. We had several callers and  texters about their mistaken identity moments.

  One caller described the moment her boyfriend did the unthinkable,when he thought it was her listen here to the Breakfast show.

  Our dilemma of the morning was from a young lady who is at her wits end trying to deal with her messy house mate, who just so happens to be one of her best friends.

  But wait the plot thickens, she feels obligated to let her stay in the house because she has been a loyal friend for so long and she is going through a recent break-up!

  She’s feeling the pressure from her housemates who is pressuring her to tell her she has to move out! How will this dilemma be dealt with? I’ll have all the info tomorrow! Ciao…
