Hmm...I Can Taste the Strudel, It's Chapter 54 - A Very Belfast Christmas!
In which the Wii practically kills Wayne, Jemma the Goth Girl is lauded, the Christmas Continental Market is visited, the sampling of the Kleptones is applauded, we spot the evil on the Frappr Map, lady_firestorm wants you to call her, the folks at Eventsec look tough, two girls visit Ohio, too much Bratwurst is eaten, the America Show is critiqued, Dickie Mahood gets heartfelt, true holiday music is found at Santastic and Jett gets all broody.
All this and more on your "The Tourist Board Should Be Paying Me" Irish Podcast.
Wayne's accent towards the end of the podcast is full blown Northern Irish. Its a transitional phase...

Wayne's gone native.

Agree about Wayne's accent at the end!
Great show - have fun back home for Christmas - will be VERY interested to see what you think of it after 2 years away. I think you've even got me in the festive mood at last...
Happy Christmas!

As I listened through, it seemed like this week's podcast was brought to us by the word "wee". We'll just have a wee this, the wee that. Jett - you're naturalising and adapting very well. They'll not understand you back home.
Then we got to the end of the show - and the real Wii came out.
Have great Christmas.

Ask Wayne.

Is it just me, or does the photo in this podcast flyer look like the contraption that lowered Kate Capshaw to her up/down fate in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ?

Great Podcast by the way - I hope you dont mind me saying, but back to form if you ask me.
Posted by: Matt | December 18, 2006 at 06:07 PM
Back to form?!?!? Lord, have we been off as of late at LTA?
To be truthful, am not quite sure what our quality control mechanisms are here.

And you're right Matt - when I first saw that thing I too was reminded of that timeless Christmas Classic.
"Mola Ram! Prepare to meet Kali... in Hell!"

Re: Wayne's collated list of words and phrases to describe a state of inebriation. Did he make up a fair proportion of them? What were his sources? Merle Haggard'd? He's having a laugh, surely...
(He missed out 'trolleyed', by the way. A glaring omission...)

I believe Wayne cut and pasted from an online article by the BBC.
He's a bit of a time-saver that way.

I just emailed Jett a bit ago. I was wondering how often the podcasts were released and where to get all the episodes, but I found the page, so one question is already answered, but I'm still wondering about the Goth Girl Gemma, I sent an email to the address I found with one of the comments saying whichever person knows Gemma, so I'm hoping to get some help that way, because I'm trying to get in contact with her, but I think Jett and Wayne should try and find Gemma and let her know how famous she is, and I think she should get her very own segment on the show, I'd like to hear what she sounds like. Episode 25 of LTA mentions something about meeting a goth girl in the description, and it's close to the same time as the blog page in feb. 2006, so I'm DLing that now and I'll have all the podcasts this weekend if some of my friends aren't too busy. Also, I am wondering if I'd be able to submit something to the show, I don't know what yet, but probably some form of audio content, music or something, I'd like to send in a video of me and where I live, but I don't know if you guys release any video podcasts, so I might just upload it to Youtube and send you all a link to it...
Anyway, again, great episode, I got some mental imagery to ponder and that's always a good thing, so until next time...
