Twink: still angry.

Filed under: Radio — Shane @ 3:33 pm

Today’s Liveline proved that there are some people left in Ireland who don’t realise that if you push the wrong buttons, Twink will explode.

UPDATE: Link had changed. It’s now been fixed.

    You know what, I don’t give a tuppenny-damn about Osama Bin Laden’s kid either.

    I do wish there was such a thing as a phone-borne disease, however.

    Jesus, her voice would melt tumors.

    “If Osama Bin Laden rang me up and said he would BOMB me if I didn’t put his child through, well Joe, I would not put the child through.”

    Now that’s integrity.

    At least the child in question wasn’t called ‘Mickey’. Then we all would have been in trouble…

    Who is this Stephanie Elliot woman she is arguing with? Might she be some kind of “Anti-Twink”, an arch enemy from past times who has returned to wreak havoc?

    According to Twink’s “mate” and a “colleague” of their’s she is a has-been.

    Sounds like a perfectly decent lady to me.

    She and Twink grew up on the mean streets of the Gaiety School of Acting together and got their first break in Clontarf Castle’s cabaret in the late 70s.

    Stephanie Elliot was set to be the next big thing except somebody burst in on her and Al Banim having a fumble backstage and used it to further their own career.

    No prizes for guessing who that was. Now though, Stephanie Elliot is out for revenge and Twink had better watch her back.

    Will Twink survive these outrageous slurs on her reputation and just how bitter is Stephanie Elliot?

    Joe Duffy’s new novel ‘Fishwives at lunchtime’ will answer all those questions and more.

    For anyone who cannot hear the piece, here’s my transcript:

    Joe Duffy: Eh, Adele King; der slaggin ye off in the papers, what do ye make of da?
    AK: It’s a disgrace, everyone knows this is the most cut-throat industry in the world… even more than pirating. I’m amazed that Stephanie Elliot would do this just to launch a personal attack on me.
    JD: yeah, sure, yeah, sure.
    AK: Won’t someone think of the children whom I love and do not profit off in any way?
    JD: Stephanie Elliot, we’ve had you on the line but didn’t tell Twink in the hope that she’d be backfooted by this revelation. What have you got to say for yourself?
    Stephanie Elliot: I was making the point that it should have been declared…
    AK: How dare you do this to these children just to get at me. I know I live vicariously through them, but that doesn’t make it a credible vehicle for personal attacks aimed at me.
    SE: This is nothing personal, it wasn’t a personal attack, I was just…
    AK: RambleBitchMoanRamble
    SE: Can I make my point?
    JD: Yeah, sure.
    SE: Well I was…
    AK: RAGGHGHGHGHGGGGG
    JD: What do you think of that Stephanie, ye big eejit? I obviously think you were wrong or am at the very least terrified of Twink’s vocal retribution and so am taking her side - how does that make you feel?
    SE: Well I…
    AK: RAMBLEBITCHMOANRAMBLEpersonalattacksBITCHMOAN
    SE: Well…
    AK: You’re a has-been. How dare you make personal attacks on me you big has-been that no-one knows about.
    JD: We’ve got someone on the line with an opinion..
    Someone: I’m amazed at Twink’s reaction - Stephanie was just making the point that…
    AK: RARRRRRAMBLEBITCHFARTMOAN.
    JD: Yea, sure, yea.

    Adam - Thanks for that scarily accurate version of events.

    And let’s all pause and remember exactly how much class the lady has.

    When will Adele King wake up, smell the coffee, smash a dinnerplate over her head and realise that her future lies in cage fighting?

    I would pay good money to see it.

    Des Cahill: “Gnawing at the bars as staff attempt (from a safe distance) to loosen her collar, Twink is surely the clear favourite to retain her crown against the unlikely pairing of Derek Mooney and Ryan Tubridy.

    Armed with a nail-studded plank and a tongue like a sleán, Twink makes a formidable opponent.

    Ten seconds now till Mooney and Tubridy take up their positions…five…four…oh! My producer tells me that they’ve escaped!

    Jimmy Barry Murphy’s down at cageside, let’s go to him now.”

    Jimmy Barry: “Pandemonium here Des. Twink’s holders were banking on her exhausting her inarticulate homicidal rage on some fresh meat and now look what’s happened. She’s currently scratching at the canvas and thwacking it with the plank. She’s sniffing the air…she can sense it’s a no-show. Des, it’s gonna take a considerable effort to get her out of there. I’ll be up to join you in the commentary box in a minute.”

    A Silk Cut Purple abused, throaty old stoat vs. a well spoken, voice as smooth as honey.

    These are terrible accusations to level at Ireland’s answer to Camilla Parker-Bowles. Shame.

    Uvox - Defending and attacking at the same time. Deft.
