TG4 has a long tradition of quirky dating shows - one saw mothers picking partners for their offspring, while another had lads buying clothes to impress the ladies. But the latest, Pioc do Ride (pun intended) just took the cringe factor to a whole new level - here, the date has to choose between three drivers, but the winner can either choose a date or a €250 car service voucher. The inevitable happened.

I've worked on a couple of things for TG4. Nice Folks.
On a massive tangent, I noticed a magazine for young women in a garage in Letterkenny with one of the cover features asking 'When did YOU last get the ride?'
I was so stunned I nearly forgot to laugh my arse off, but I recovered sufficiently to point it out to Mrs. Calvert. I think the shop assistants must've thought we were high.
It's even funnier when you repeat it in a Free State accent.
Fucking hell, Ireland has changed.
Dev must be spinning in his grave. You couldn't but a jazz mag or contraceptives in the Republic a couple of decades ago.
Sorry. Had to share that.
As you were.

She turned both down, which was a hoot.

I'm not sure I understand what a "€250 car service voucher" is--is it a voucher for a car supplies store, or a cleaning service, or something else?
If it was for an auto supplies store, I think I'd take the date. I mean, I could buy stuff that I know that I *should* get for my car, but there's a lot of stuff that I'd rather do than fancy up my car myself.

Astonishing. The embarrased laughter at John Peel's "JESUS CHRIST!" is weird.

Before.
However the driver in that stunt - Richard Smith - suffered neck, head, and back injuries and fractured his pelvis.
