Whack fol the toora loora laddie
Whack fol the toora loora lay!
One of our most popular PPP-exclusive tournaments starts at 8pm tonight, the Paddy Whacker. Don’t ask us where we came up with the witty title, it has been lost in the mists of time! What might interest you is that we’ve employed one of our beefiest (does anyone still use that word?) employees to play the part of PaddyWhacker0 and we’re placing a bounty of $100 on his head. If you find yourself on his table, knock the sucker out and take the bounty down to Chinatown (I recommend the Chef’s Special with Szechuan sauce). K.O. PaddyWhacker0 and go on to win the tournament outright, and we’ll give you a $200 bounty on top of your winnings - pretty sweet! Get training for tonight’s action!
Onto our almost-weekly Caption Competition…
Here we see the illustrious Emmet Kennedy (one of the main men down at Cork’s 96FM) and the legendary Padraig Parkinson, providing commentary on the Irish Open live stream. But this photo deserves a caption! Have a shot and you may be rewarded!
There is an Irish Winter Festival feeder token worth $27.50 to the winner (might have a few $4.40 feeder tokens as well for runners-up) - remember to leave your PPP screen-name with your entry; if you don’t, you can’t win as I can’t credit your account!
I’m off to Galway for the long weekend to enjoy the Volvo Ocean Race and the associated festival (the Red Arrows are doing a show on Saturday afternoon, hope the skies are clear!), so I hope all enjoy the 1st real weekend of the summer. Good luck to those playing in the ECOOP IV tournies and Irish Winter Festival super sat over the next few days!

Emmet: Right. That’s the nose hairs sorted. Where now for hair and makeup?

Emmet: No fair! I’m always allowed wear make-up when I’m on Cork 96FM!
