Hi there,
Im off on my holidays from today...
John Ryan is looking after the show for the next couple of weeks.
Hes got tickets for the Curragh to giveaway.

Ill see you back on the radio, Monday 8th October...
Be good!
Stephen
I know Ive called for the end to Steve Stauntons reign as
I dont know what is expected of managers these days
In three seasons, Mourinho delivered two Premiership Titles, The League and FA Cup, and two Champions League semi-finals - Yet this was not enough to save him!
Its a loss for the entire Premier League, well all miss the Special One!

On todays show, I asked, whats next for Jose
Check out Your Texts for the response.
Finally got a winner on the Buzz Word
Well done to Liz Durkan who won 300 with Gilroy Tiles, Newbridge Road, Naas.

The answer to the Lisa Burke Buzz Word was
Ive got to be honest; Im getting just a little disillusioned with the
Why were Liverpool so poor last night against
Steven Gerrard looked jaded, not his usual energetic self - It was almost as if he was saying to Rafa; you didn't start me at
The Premier League is all Gerrard is really concerned about, along with most
Why did Rafa make so many changes last Saturday against Pompey? Was he saving then for last nights game? If so, why were they so negative, and constantly giving the ball away?
If Benitez allowed Liverpool to play there could also be 6-0 away wins like the great home victory recently against

Come on Rafa
We could have won the last two away games easily if we had a little more purpose. Just give the players you paid so much money for, a chance to prove their ability.
No wonder Steven Gerrard looks despondent and disinterested when he sees his manager throwing away games with negative tactics
I truly want Benetiz to succeed, but believe time is running out for him to deliver the Premier League title
Hope youve had a brilliant weekend
Congratulations to Kerry on yet another All Ireland football crown.
The least said about the rugby the better!!!
Like everyone else, Im baffled by
I suppose weve still in the competition and must remain positive ahead of Fridays game.
Ive uploaded the Eddie Hobbit Yes/No Quiz from Fridays show. Click here for Eddies phone calls page.
Friday already, hope you've had a good week
Good luck to
Dont forget the Autumn Festival of racing this weekend at the Curragh also; lets hope the weather stays kind.
Ive had great fun all week with the Yes/No Quiz...
Well done to Mark Galligan, Noelle Kelly, Barbara Whelan, Bernie King and Martin Pierce who all lasted a full minute without saying either Yes or No. They all win family admission tickets for Sunday.
Eddie Hobbit challenged me to the Yes/No quiz this afternoon He finally got me to say No after about a minute. Ill post a link to the audio on Monday.
Until then enjoy the weekend
Stephen
Although it pains me to agree with Eamon Dunphy, Ive got to admit that Im also of the opinion that Steve Staunton should be replaced as Irish soccer boss
Eamo really annoys me the way he calls for the head of whoever the manager is at the time, (Big Jack, McCarthy, Kerr and now Stan).
I believe Kerrs departure was premature, as there was genuine progress at the time, unlike now.
On paper there is not much difference between
Player for player I believe we are undoubtedly as good as the Scots - So what's the difference - It can only be one thing, and I'm afraid its the manager.
Even a very average Welsh team put five past

I think the FAI need to cop some flak for employing a manager with no top level experience. If we are to progress we need an experienced manager who can guide the good young players we have.
With
Well done to Mark Gallagan, the first person to beat me on the Yes / No Quiz...
Mark lasted a full 60 seconds without saying Yes Or No.
Im doing two rounds of the quiz everyday between 4 and 5pm, with a chance to win family admission tickets for the Autumn Festival of Racing at the Curragh this Sunday up for grabs!
Good luck to all the contestants - it's not as easy as it sounds...
Poor Britney Spears... Shes just given her first major performance in three years, at the MTV Video Music Awards in
Some pundits are saying that her performance will "go down in the history books as being one of the worst to grace the MTV Awards".
Some people are even saying her career is over!

I think the criticism of Britneys appearance is way over the top
Monday's headline in the New York Post, read "Lard and Clear," while one report I read said "The bulging belly she was flaunting was SO not hot,"
Lets not forget that Britney Spears is now a mother of two and she should not be compared to what she looked like three or four years ago
In an age where skinny models and skeletal actresses are under scrutiny for the message they're sending young girls, what does it say that we're criticizing a young woman for a little thickness around the middle?
Give the woman a break; shes obviously going through a pretty tough time
Hey there Delilah, Hope the weekend went well
What can I say about
I'm sure Ireland will improve, and who knows, it could still all end in glory...

A bad hair day for Eddie O'Sullivan!!!
It was a little like the soccer teams last gasp victory against
Speaking of winning, Im giving you a chance to win family admission tickets for the Autumn Festival of Racing at the Curragh this Sunday.

I had great fun with this Brain Buster on Friday...
For the first time in ages there was no right answer. Quite surprising really cause you guys are usually very sharp!
Two twin brothers were born at the same time, in the same hospital, with the same father and mother.
YET THEY WERE NOT BROTHERS Explain!!!
(Youll find the answer on the Brain Buster page)
Well done to Kilkenny on yet another All Ireland Hurling title at
I watched the game and willed

Henry Shefflin lifting the Liam McCarthy Cup
Also looking very good for
With 10 home goals in a week, Fernando Torres looking like a bargain buy and Chelsea sipping up at Villa, Im convinced that Liverpool are genuine Premier League title contenders this year.

This is a medium range model for next Thursday which finally shows the Azores High making its way towards us...
Nobody is too sure how long it will last, but with high pressure building, there is considerable hope of a decent spell of late summer sunshine
The chart is still 6 days away - so fingers crossed!
Talk to you Monday week Be good!
Well it's 30 years since the King of Rock n' Roll, Elvis Presley died.
On today's show I asked you guys to suggest what Elvis would be doing now - if still alive at 72...

The Queen of the Waterways at the Bridgewater Inn, Sallins was a fabulous night.
Congratulations to Denise Healy from Cut Bush who was crowned this years Queen.
Pictured below are (L-R) Denise, myself and the 2006 Queen Aoife Gorey.
The Sullivan Brothers also performed on the night
Shane and Adrian are pictured here with Denise...
Im gearing up for the Queen of the Waterways in the Bridgewater Inn, in Sallins tonight.
Ill be interviewing the girls on stage from about 10pm. Pop down and say hello, it should be a great evening with the Sullivan Brothers also performing.
The Queen of the Waterways Festival takes place all weekend long in Sallins with a childrens art competition, a gardening competition and of course the Fancy Dress Parade
This weekend also sees the start of the new Premier League season, the Dublin Horse Show continues, the All Ireland Football quarter finals at

Still cant believe the "Daphne" Buzzword went after just two days
Well heres the brand new Buzzword
It comes once again from the studios of Sky Weather. This time its Lisa Burke
The Buzzword kicks off this afternoon at 5.10pm, starting at 100, thanks to Gilroy Tiles,
I cant believe its gone already two days, thats all it lasted!!!
Well done to nine year old Nathan Curtis from Naas who guessed the buzzword was MUD
I say guessed, well thats not entirely true, Nathan told us he was the biggest Scooby Doo fan ever, and actually remembered the episode freaky what kids retain isnt it.
Back to the drawing board for me, Ill have a brand new Buzzword for you tomorrow.
Hi there, hope the weekend went well
This week on K Drive Im giving you a chance to win in a pair of premier admission tickets for the Curragh races on Sunday
Daily winners also go into the draw for lunch in the Horseshoe Restaurant.
Don't forget the new Buzz Word at 5.10pm...
Oh dear, its not looking good now is it? We really came excruciatingly close to nice summer weather this week, as the
How frustrating to get just a brief taste of what summer could have been like when the sun shone brightly on Tuesday. However the weather charts seem to suggest its all gone pear shaped, for the moment.
It seems to be on a knife edge as to how the remainder of the summer will shape up but I remain hopeful of a decent spell of warm sunny weather within the next couple of weeks.
Hopefully it stays half decent for the Bank Holiday Weekend!
If youre around Newbribge on Monday, drop by the Whitewater Shopping Centre where Ill be broadcasting live on KFM between 11am and 2pm.
Whatever you get up to this long weekend, have a good one
Stephen
We've finally got a winner on the Buzz Word...
Well done to Margaret Watson from

Hi there, hope the weekend went well What a shocker it was to see the SUN actually shining brightly for a couple of hours consecutively.
The forecast as we approach August looks so much more promising that it has for some time.
Fingers crossed for a massive Azores High planting itself firmly over the country for the month we truly deserve it for all the rain weve put up with since the beautiful early summer days we enjoyed in April and May!
Ive just checked my Blog Archive page to find out when the Buzz Word actually started. Believe it or not it was May 17th
The post reads as follows
I'm kicking off a new Buzz Word this afternoon...
I reckon this one could take a bit of solving!
It's a quote from Sky Weatherman Francis Wilson

Was that an understatement or what???
Weve hit 610 now and still no winner
Ive been checking world maps to see how many more possibilities are left. To be honest theres not too many when you also consider the clues
The Buzz Word returns on Monday, till then, enjoy the weekend...
Stephen
I love it, I love it, I love it
Oh my God what a new stadium the Pool should have by the end of this decade. Its truly stunning and very cheeky; the atmosphere will be awesome, particularly in the New Kop, which will hold 18,000 fans. Ive seen nothing else like it in the world, well done to the designers...

With the new season only around the corner, Im especially excited with the quality of Rafas new singings. I know
Hey there, hope the weekend went well
Im just so delighted for Padraig Harrington on winning the Open. For anyone whos not a fan of spending an entire afternoon watching golf on the TV, I believe yesterday would have converted almost anyone to the magnificent spectacle golf truly is. Harringtons victory aside, I reckon the drama and tension surrounding the closing holes at Carnoustie was the sporting highlight of 2007.
The incredible events of 1999, when Jean Van de Velde rolled up his trousers and climbed down into the Barry Burn were fresh in the memory as Padraig headed for the 18th tee with a one shot lead. It was like history repeating itself seeing the agony on Harringtons face as the ball headed for water Not once, but twice You just wanted to pause the TV rewind and give him another attempt at playing the shot.
Thankfully all worked out in the end and we had
A thought for poor Sergio Garcia, will he get over this? I hope so, he deserves a Major title - however, he may well become the new Monty. Hopefully not, as hes such a likeable guy!
As for Padraig, this could well be only the beginning after finally getting rid of the monkey on his back!
Stephen

" HERE'S A SKETCH ARTISTS IMPRESSION RELEASED BY THE GARDA TODAY!!!

While away for the week in

Although I believe the years have not been too unkind to the girls, I feel its perhaps time for a few new nicknames...
How about Sporty Spice as the Couch Potato Spice. Ginger Spice could be Garlic Spice. Baby Spice should be the new Nappy Rash Spice, and Posh Spice renamed Stuck-Up Spice. Only Scary Spice hasnt changed - Shes still scary.

Im told Liam looked after things very well, and that weve still no winner on the Buzz Word - Perhaps I might give out a few clues this week!
Oh boy do I have a great prize to giveaway on my return to action.
Fancy a brand new fireplace for the house? Well this could be your lucky week.
KFM has teamed up with Maynooth Kitchen Fireplaces and Granite worktops at the Square, Maynooth, to give you a chance to win a brand new fireplace.
In fact Ive got a fireplace valued at 1200 to giveaway EVERYDAY this week on the show!
Just identify the backward song at 4.10pm for your chance to win.
We've passed the midsummer point now - so it's about time I take a little break from the daily slog of having to put together a fantastic radio show every day. Guess who's replacing me for the week? Paris Hilton after her stint in jail - No. David Beckham, now that his Real days are over - No. How about Michael McDowell, who I believe has lots of free time on his hands - wrong again...
We've plumped for a true Hollywood superstar...
Ladies and Gentlemen may I present Liam Tutty

Liam will have pairs of West End Enclosure tickets for Budweiser Irish Derby with access to the Star Sunday Party Zone
Well done to Patrick Clarke from Kilcullen who won the VIP prize with the Silken Thomas, this week on the show...
See you on Monday WEEK - Good Luck!
Hi guys, hope you enjoyed the weekend at least half as much as I did...
Ive got loads of Curragh tickets to giveaway ahead of the Derby Festival this week on the show. One lucky person and three friends will win a fantastic prize for

I've also got tickets to give away for Naas Races, plus the Lilywhite Wedding and Classy Lass giveaways continue.
Finally, listen out for a great Wind Up this Wednesday...
Another week over, thanks for listening to the show
Today's broadcast marked an important anniversary for me. It was exactly 18 years ago today that I decided to give up my career as a leading nuclear astrophysicist specializing in quantum aerodynamic cryogenics and lateral genetic bacterial synthesis -- and go full-time as a DJ.
Interesting seven days - we finally have a Government three weeks after polling day. Fair play to Bertie Ahern, elected Taoiseach for the third time in a row on Thursday.
If the Greens, PDs and FF can get together I suppose it shouldnt be much of a surprise that the Spice Girls have also settled their differences. Mel C has finally agreed to a reunion after initially being the only member to resist comeback plans Be warned, theyre on the way back!!!

I also see Oprah Winfrey was named the world's most powerful celebrity today. The chat show queen topped the poll just ahead of KFMs John Dunne. Speaking of John, looking forward to having him back from holidays on his lunchtime show next Monday
Ill also be back after the weekend with more chances for you to win a wedding dress with Classy Lass Bridal Emporium in Clane.
Ill also have Curragh tickets to giveaway ahead of the Derby Festival. One lucky person and three friends will win a fantastic prize for

Ill also have pairs of admission tickets to giveaway daily from Monday
Have a great weekend
Welcome back after the most amazing weekend weather wise - hope you enjoyed it.
I see
This week on the show, weve teamed up with Classy Lass Bridal Emporium, Clane to celebrate the launch of their great June Bridal Gown sale
Keep tuned to K-Drive for your chance to win a bridal gown worth 1,200...
So theres another week over
Mixed week for George Michael fans Some enjoyed a super night at the RDS, while others were left disappointed by the postponement of the second gig. For George himself, there was relief at escaping a prison term.
Speaking of prison, the Paris Hilton saga continues

The celebrity heiress was allowed to leave jail yesterday, only three days into a 45-day sentence for violating probation on a drink-driving ban. One story goes that Paris was released after she developed a rash all over her body... I reckon it happens to her every time she goes more than three days without being photographed!!!
Of course, the main news this week, were the talks on the formation of a new Government. Dont you feel a little sorry for poor Dan Boyle of the Greens, he seems to be their chief negotiator, however having lost his Dail seat, hell obviously have to take a back seat once the Government is formed.
However, my favourite story this week was the woman who was arrested at Stanford University. She was not enrolled at Stanford -- but she lived in the dorms, attended classes and pretended to be a student for eight months
I feel at one with this classy lady - I am now in my 18th year of pretending to be a DJ.
Until Monday Enjoy the weekend
