Fine Gael, Driving and of course Fired!

Ok, I can see a trend thats going to develop here... instead of me updating both the site and here, I’ll probably leave www.fired.tk alone. I'll try not to, but more than likely I'll start with the right intention, go to update the site, then say 'aww.. feck this' and leave it alone.

Anywho... news for the show? It looks like a few more comedians will be coming on board to provide for the show which is great, also director Dermot Petty is working on a piece for the show.. looks like we'll have a lot of material to choose from.

Yes, i was talking to John Caplis (a comedian who'll be on the show but also runs a comedy club in Limerick city) and it seems I, John Buckley, will be performing stand up comedy at Dolans. I dont know how that came about, the answer i was going for was 'No' but he was saying about promotion of the show, and then hung up before i cold gather my thoughts. Oh dear god, I'm hoping for roughly a three minute set... how do I get myself into these things?!?!

haha, i saw this poster the other day:



Just had to laugh, the one thing i thought was 'their going to work as hard as me, jesus NOTHING will get done... i better vote Fianna Fail' the desired effect? i think not

Driving update:
OK, so after i had my cert, i got the pictures taken, got my passport, filled out the form, got €15 together and went on my merry little way to get my licence. Although it seems Limerick has a by-law, which prevented me from getting my licence without having an eye test done. So I went to an optician and had to book it, at that stage its all good!!! What i didnt realise was that the night before the day of my test i had an 18th to go to, and oh boy.. did i go to that 18th, i went ALL THE WAY!
Next morning i wake up, roll out of bed and head down to the opticians, at this stage i cant really focus on anything, not a good sign some may say!?! Well i sat in the chair and he told me he that the test was basically just a quick check on my reflexes. Now thats never a good thing to hear when your at the stage where your drunk, but the hangover is just starting to creep in, least of all when a driving licence is on the line. Anywho, to cut a long story in three quarters, i passed the test. If i in my semi conscious state can pass the test, i hate to see how bad anybody would have to be to fail it!
I later applied and am now waiting for my licence to come in the post!!!

This will be Epic!!

Long time no post eh? Well all the excitement is building,

THIS will be where the colours clash,
THIS is where the world will be listening,
THIS will be the sound of 5,000 people enjoying the show,
THIS will be the Fired.tk Audio Entertainment Show; Season Three,
And THIS will be EPIC

Yes, the show is back for a 5 week run starting from November 11th with an expected 5,000 listeners that’s up 4,999 from last season (my mother enjoyed the show).

On another note, I passed my Driver Theory Test yesterday, haha soon they be letting Mr. John drive on the roads, FOOLS!!! I am going to be that driver that crashes into a ‘wear your seatbelt’ sign while not actually wearing the seatbelt, The guy who decides not to choose just one lane and the same guy who indicates the wrong way. Yes, I will be a menace to the roads, but look I have got a certificate:



What a horrible, horrible picture… why can’t they wait until you smile rather then just pointing and clicking?! Assholes, but hey… I got me my cert! I only got two questions wrong, both on the same topic. What was the title of the topic you ask? Was it Road Signage? Stopping Distances? No….



Ain’t that pretty specific, have no idea what it means, but I now have a certificate now just need to get my licence. Anyway, the show… yes starting November 11th, it’s going to be BIG!!! We’ll be keeping this more updated from now on, so enjoy!
