Bosco: Flaherty VS Faherty update...!
Devastated.
However all was not lost - on a road trip from Dublin to Cork we stopped in Mitchelstown to get some crisps and who did I see at the counter? The answerer of all bizarre questions in Ireland - Ray Darcy himself.
He nodded hello to me as I was staring at him trying to figure out was it really him, so I dived in and asked him would he accept a 'Fix-it-Friday' question in person... 'Go on so...' he said, with a grin-and-bear it expression on his face. A true gentleman.
I ran the scenario past him very quickly and he was very definite that he hadn't a clue what the answer was. BUT he said text in because one of the girls working on his radio show was none other than BOSCO'S DAUGHTER and he would find out the definitive answer for me!
At this point I would like to thank Ray for being so nice about the whole affair, when he was trying to get some petrol and the newspaper on a Sunday - if petrol stations had security I probably would have called them if it were me.
ANYWAY... I texted a huge long text into Ray's show about the Flaherty affair, BUT... I'm on the road at the moment and we are doing a show which takes place in the morning and so we only catch a small bit of Ray's show before we have to pile out of the van and set up... so I have no idea if the question was answered!!!
Anyone here the answer on the Ray Darcy show? Please leave a comment!!!
Oh, and if Ray Darcy reads this by any chance - Karen loves you.

Thanks,
Allen
p.s. Bosco is a bollocks! I remember that one :))
ha ha ha thanks Al! Why didn't I think of that?? :)
Frank, I'm puting this one to bed it's driving me mad.
I called Eugene Lambert (Bosco's creator) and got the name of the woman who made the show 'Paula' I got a hold of her and it was called...
Flaherty's Garden.
Done!
NO WAY!!! You are kidding right...?
You rang Eugene Lambert? Are you serious?
Oh my god!! You're either a genius or have waaaaaaay to much time on your hands these days Al.. :D
Ok, you're really not pulling my leg right?
Bizarre thing... people at the Lambert Theatre Co. all sound like Bosco/WonderlyWagon characters. Freaked me out. I got the # from Lambert. Paula was chuckling when I explained all to her. I have the numbers or I’m sure if you look them up they can verify.
Next conundrum... Was Bosco a boy or not. Very Debatable.
that's brilliant. Thanks Allen!
In order to collect on the bet, I may have to call this woman myself in the presence of my opponent...
I might get on to you for number by email!
Thanks again for the detective work!!!! :D
Hope all is well with you by the way!!
No worries glad to be of assistance! All is well in BDA.
I'll be home late June for that pint lol!
You're too honest for your own good Frank, if there was money and pride involved I'd simply edit the wikipedia entry and then direct the bettee there.Nooch
