Read it and weep scumbags.

Sorry, where are my manners, that might have been a bit hostile. How are you? Good? Good. Anything else? No? Fine.

I am pleased to announce that after a 2 week delay we've got a brand new episode of Gangbusters crammed full
of funny people and me struggling with my zoom recorder.

This week I'm joined by Petition.ie founder Gavin Portcullis (Kieran Lawless) about his inspiration behind the website, his plans to get The Offspring to play Croke Park and a proposed replacement for the Dublin Spire.

12:40 Kevin has an indecent proposal thrust upon him by his new boss.

16:35 We fast forward a week to interview the actor who plays Fair City's Detective Deegan who likes to be referred to only as Detective Deegan. He talks about his blooming props business, his inability to get paid, Shane McGowan's new boyband, various run ins with The Apprentice boss Bill Cullen and the Detectives confused relationship with Gabriel Byrne.

Theme music "The Next Last Thing" by So Cow from the album "These Truly Are End Times" available on i-tunes.
Thanks to Brian Kelly whose 2XM show "Fun To Hum" is on Monday at 11am, repeated on Friday at 10pm and is available on RTE Digital Radio.
Outro music: "Boom in the Sky" by Mali Junior from the album "The Smell of Bees" which you can also find on i-tunes.

Fun Facts About The Guests
----------------------

- Kieran was my flatmate for the summer of 2006. He was neat both in terms of cleanliness and character. I was neither. I used a globey glass light cover as an ashtray and pretended that the smoke was Kitty O'Shea's ghost rising up to meet Parnell in heaven.
- Back then, Kieran was one year older then me and I one year younger. To date this has not changed.
- Emmet was the founder and first MC of Basement Club Comedy night comedy in DeBurgo's where myself, Kieran, Bob Hennigan, Sean Sheridan happily dicked about for years.
- Emmet once had a cigarette with Pete Postlethwaite and said he was sound.*

(To clarify, Emmet told me that Pete Postlethwaite was sound. He didn't tell Pete Postlethwaite that he was sound. Pete Postlethwaite probably already knew that he was sound but didn't want to lord it over everyone. Because he was so sound.)


Not So Fun Facts
-------------

Pete Postlethwaite died earlier this year. His last film was "Inception", no matter what imdb says about something called "Killing Bono".
