Whoever wrote the script, do you think we could get them in as EIRE manager?  Maybe they could bring our mannequins to life.

Turned on Sunday Brunch yesterday and thought it was Graham Lineham too.

Another one from watching Sunday Brunch yesterday, is that ex snooker player Steve Davis is DJ and plays psychedelic dance music. Never would have guess that.

Are you sure it is dance music? I know he is a massive fan of prog rock and has done radio shows and DJ sets on it. I think his favourite band is Magma, a well-known French prog band. I am not sure how he listens to it, but different strokes...

He mentioned Magma alright. He classed it as psychedelic music, so I kind of just presumed it was dance, could be prog rock but couldn't really tell the difference.
They showed a clip of him in action and the audience were more swaying than dancing.

Agreed. 

Ronan can definitely do a lot better than her.

Fair enough. I've never seen mad men so I'll take your word for it. LOL

Brian O'Donovan from RTE news (the US correspondent) has the most reporter way of speaking of all time. 

He speaks exactly like this lad taking the piss

It was right next to Liverpool Street station. There's a plaque on the wall for it there.

Do the presenters on sky sports news be eating constantly during ad breaks.  Numerous times I have seen presenters talking with their mouth half full.  Jim White just now for example.

Do they not feed themselves before coming on?

The Lost Boys - Wikipedia

The original poster for the The Lost Boys is actually a painting not a photo collage. The detail is phenomenal, though if you zoom in on Michael's sunglasses you can see defined brush strokes.

That Argentina haven't won the Copa América since 1993 - i.e ten tournaments in a row without success. That's a pretty terrible record considering the calibre of player that's been available to them over the last three decades.
