TUBS’ BEEF WITH THE LATE LATE FOOD BAN presenter sneaks in Big mac during ‘no craic’ london trip
Sometimes you need a Big Mac. You have to eat. A man has to eat RYAN TUBRIDY
YESTERDAY
RYAN Tubridy had to sneak a Big Mac into the London Late Late Show while ranting their UK location was “no craic” and “very serious”.
The 45-year-old host also pinned the blame for the “desperate” ticket disaster on a British company.
Speaking on The Ryan Tubridy Show yesterday, he said: “Do you know what, they are quite funny over there in the UK in terms of, you know the way the bars are so rubbish that you have to drink...
“I remember giving out about the
English bars.
“There is no craic in them and they are very serious in the halls.”
He went on to explain the Big
Mac situation, adding: “The hall we were in, beautiful, beautiful hall but very, very serious. You couldn’t bring food in.
“I don’t think I should get anyone in trouble by saying what we did, but sometimes you need a Big Mac.
“And sometimes if you have to smuggle one in in a bag pretending it is from somewhere else. You have to eat. A man has to eat.”
Meanwhile, there was outrage on the night when some ticketholders were refused entry to the BY KEVAN FURBANK, a Brit
SO the British have “no craic and no food”, eh? Well, as a shortarse Englishman who weighs 15st I can assure Mr Tubridy we love our grub.
The French don’t call us “les rosbifs” for nothing. We can’t get enough of a big hunk of meat cooked for so long it can only be identified by its dental records, accompanied by roast potatoes the size of Sydney Opera House and a crunchy Yorkshire pud that breaks your jaw.
In the past we Brits would eat Central Hall in Westminster. Tubs said his team will work with the UK firm responsible to try and “fix it”.
He added: “We are acutely aware of that unfortunate situation for the ticketholders and I think the company who were responsible for that said it was a difficulty for them.
“The demand for tickets was unprecedented and there was a British company who were handling it and they did their best but they are used to handling things like the audiences for X Factor and James Corden and things like that.
“What I think happened was they had never seen anything like it – the demand for Late Late Show tickets. “They didn’t quite get this was a big night. And it was a difficult one for those who showed up and couldn’t get into the hall.
“That was disappointing them no doubt about it.
“We put our heads together and we do want to try and fix this, particularly those who were disappointed. That was desperate because everyone who was in the hall seemed to have a ball and that was great but if you were outside the hall you couldn’t.” for practically anything – blackbirds, sparrows, peacocks, swan, conger eel, porpoise and even lampreys (a surfeit of which famously did for Henry I).
We have 70 Michelin-starred restaurants in London, but I fear Mr Tubridy is simply trying to justify stuffing himself with a
Big Mac.
Eat many more of those, Ryan, and we won’t be calling you Tubs because of your name.
As to the craic, we enjoy it just as much as any citizen of the Irish Republic.
It’s just that, most of the time, we’re too busy eating.
