SHIRLEY ON PADDY'S DAY

BINGO: 17 FEBRUARY 2013


Love is a many splendour'd thing. Or so they say. I don't know what exactly a "splendoured" thing is. My guess:  Something that's low in actual sugar but high in Xylitol or Aspertame or some sugar replacement. That's all good if you have Type Read more

WEB_800BINGO

On 3rd February, I’ll be presenting the 800th Bingo at The George. It’s a weekly show. There are 52 weeks in a year… that’s a lot of shows, weeks and years. There have been (mostly legal) highs and lows. There have been shows that I’ll never forget and ones that I can’t remember. I’m hoping to the 800th show will be one to remember.

With a guaranteed payout of an €800 and a massive show with a gaggle of my gal pals busting out their man-handed dance moves, it’s sure to be a fun night out. And with DJ Karen on the decks afterwards, you can bust out your own dance moves until you get it right.

Drink. Drag. Dance… for more years than I care to remember.

Mammy Daddy Marriage

You might have seen the insidious Iona Institute’s video, which patronisingly explains how marriage equality would destroy the world (for them). Here‘s a funny smackdown of it.

BINGO: 27 JANUARY 2013

Peaches Queen (that’s her in the picture) has decided it’s time to get the fork out of here. And why shouldn’t she? There’s nothing left for her here – she’s used it all up already. So our baby gurl – and Alternative Miss Ireland 2010 – has decided to hop on a plane and head Down Under. Her send-off party starts on a Sunday and ends when her poor Ma shoves her (drunk and covered in glitter) onto a long haul flight. So come join us in this latest instalment of The Scattering, which has seen so many of our compadres board boats, planes and spaceships to pastures newer and greener.

We’ve got a Bon Voyage Bingo party for Peaches on January 27th with a guaranteed cash payout of €200. Plus loads of other prizes. And a great show too. So even if you don’t know Peaches, come along. Seeing your ugly face will convince her that she’s making the right decision to leave.And if you don’t have an ugly face, come anyway and say ‘hi’ to me. (I love a pretty face, me. I’ve had one for years.)

With company from Davina Devine and Victoria Secret and DJ Karen on the decks, we’re gonna have a partay until Peaches thinks she’s in Terminal Two in Kuala Lumpur.

Drink. Drag. Dance… and Peaches. It’ll be like as if you’re emigrating yourself!

It’s Dolly Grip’s birthday this weekend. She’s off the cake but we’re gonna get her one anyway. We enjoy messing with her head and playing with her willpower. We’ll also be showing off her new¹ svelte body by making her do all the work. Well she does say that she’s the only one of us who actually understands show-business. After all, she was there the first time around, when they did everything in Black & White!

We’ve also got Veda, Victoria Secret and Peaches Queen PLUS a guaranteed payout of €200. Win prizes, watch the show then recreate our “professional” dance-moves on the dance-floor with DJ Karen dropping the beats (or something) until past Dolly’s medication time.

Drink. Drag. Dance… and Dolly. This Sunday, from 9pm. Sure it beats going to Mass!

¹Is it still her ‘new’ body at this stage? Well, it’s as new as her “new number”!

SNOWBALL WINNER

shirley hands over €1600 snowball to surprised winner

So there I was on Sunday evening going through the motions of a mid-January Bingo when some gay decided to get lucky (not with me!) and win the massive Snowball that I had been quietly growing. I’d say I was raging but I’m not as raging as you folks (I know who you are!) who decided to stay home to watch some shite on the telly because you had the January blues.

Well, that choice lost you €1600 and gained you a valuable lesson: You never know when the snowball is going to be won. It’s like syphilis. You just don’t take the chance.

Your loss is that terrified-looking gay in the picture’s gain. No, not me! I’m not terrified; I’m terrifying.

And since you ask: I’m dressed as the lead from the Irish version of Les Misérables. It’s called Liberty, Paternity, Austerity and -just so you know – I die horribly of lack of consumption in the end.

And since you also ask: I have NO idea what he’s dressed as. That’s new money for ya!
