Boland’s Guest List Tuesday 23rd December 2009: Hard to believe it but it’s five years on from the boxing day tsunami, which drowned a quarter of a million people and shattered hotels and homes in 13 countries, a remarkable record has been compiled from amateur footage taken by some of those caught up in its horrors. the resulting documentary will be shown on channel 4 on December 30th. Mark Heather was the manager of a brand new luxury beachfront hotel resort and talks to us about the horror that occurred five years ago.

Next up: The past can come up an haunt us and in Gerry Addams case: the IRA heartlands, such as West Belfast are areas where republicans proudly claim they look after their own community and punish drug pushers and sex abusers – except, it now appears, where those criminals are related to the elite. Gerry Adams MP, who covered up the crime of his brother Liam raping and abusing his 13 year old daughter Aine from the age of four, is touring TV studios trying to save his career and his reputation. Ruth Dudley Edwards is an author and journalist and her most recent book ‘ Aftermath: The Omagh Bombing and The Families Pursuit of Justice. Ruth will ask the question: Should Adams come forward along time ago and revealed his and his brothers past. i.e should he of aloud his father a full IRA military funeral knowing what he knew????

How about something different to do on Christmas Day??? Because of adverse weather conditions for the past week, the whole of England has ground to a virtual halt. Schools have closed early due to snow, you can’t get in or out of the country (or across the country for that matter’ by car, train or plane. but there is one place in London that is not affected by the weather. The Serpentine Swimming Club in Hyde Park remains open even when the water freezes over – then the members just smash a hole in the ice and hurl themselves in!! On Christmas day members will take part in a 100 yard race for the Peter Pan Cup. Maurice’s guest Harry Mount, who is an author and journalist, decided to investigate the craze for wild swimming: Diving into lakes, rivers streams, bogs and canals, whatever the weather and will share his tale with us….

And finally…Are you a Christmas fan.. We know Maurice is but his final guest Ryan Shorthouse, a writer on social affairs and his articles can be found in the guardian and daily mail amongst others, will explain why he certainly is NOT!!!! Boland on Tuesday at 10am

The Boland Guest list Tuesday 22nd December: First up is ex page 3 girl, turned recording star, turned TV personality, turned lesbian!!! Sam Fox married her manager Myra: Last year Fox and her lover took part in Celebrity Wife Swap, exchanging with Freddie Starr and his wife Donna with disastrous results. Sam has just appeared in ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, she will tell Maurice that her stint on this year’s series was life changing. The former glamour model was the third star to be eliminated from the jungle. Right now Sam is working on her next album and has released how own video documentary ‘All Around The World’ which is a revealing travelogue style interview covering

Moving swiftly along. Another series has just come to an end the excellent BBC’s: ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. Boland’s next guest, TV star Esther Rantzen says: A las, poor Strictly, it’s lost its glitter. They say every marriage losses a shine after seven years, and in its seventh series that has happened to the once passionate love affair between Strictly Come Dancing and the audience. Yes, the BBC’s ruined Strictly, but it can be saved and Esther will tell us how!!!!

Climate change now raises it’s ugly head once again. The Copenhagen summit on climate change has just ended with disastrous results. Father Sean McDonagh was there. In his more recent writing and lectures Sean declares that global warming is the biggest issue facing agriculture over the next 50 years. For him it is a moral and religious issue because taking no action will mean suffering and death. He calls politicians to stop bowing to vested interests. He urges the churches to join the debates with more commitment. Unless attitudes change the well-being of millions will be undermined and future generations will be condemned to live on an inhospitable planet. (Is the Gilmore Show I hear you ask?)

Finally…. Forget playground insults. Vicious online hate campaigns (cyber-bullying) are the latest form of bullying – and they are driving young girls to their deaths. Maurice’s final guest Chris Cloke, head of Child Protection at the NSPCC and chair of the anti bullying alliance, says ‘bullying used to happen in school and then it stopped at home. but now it follows the child so they are bullied in places where they should feel safe’
Boland on Thursday, 10am…

The Boland Guest List Thursday 17th December: Again another headline story makes it onto the Boland guest, which tells of the son of one of the greatest stunt riders attempts to make a jump that almost killed his dad: In an exclusive Talk Radio Europe interview Robbie, the son of stunt legend Evel Knievel, announced today his plans to attempt the same double-decker bus stunt that nearly ruined his late father’s daredevil career. On may 25th, 1975 Evel Knievel attempted to jump 13 buses at Wembley but crashed breaking his pelvis and ending his career. Robbie said today that he would attempt to clear 16 buses on the same motorcycle model used by his father. the death defying stunt will take place in London on may 22nd next year. What Robbie doesn’t know is that Maurice interviewed his late dad Evil when he was broadcasting one of his shows live from Caesars Palace Hotel Las Vegas, the place where Knievle nearly ended his life when an attempted jump through the famous Caesars fountains went terribly wrong.

We’ve opened our prezzes, had our lunch and watched a few boring reruns on the telly, we’ve almost finished the box of Quality Streets (nabbing all the purple ones!!) when its time to settle down to a good board game (sure to get the family at each others throats!!!) Boland’s next guest knows all about that, John Mariani heads up Drummond Park UK’s leading games company. What he doesn’t know is that Maurice’s son Daniel is the face of Articulate TV advertising campaign which is one of Drummand Parks top selling games…

Keeping on the Christmas theme, well sort of, the darker side of Christmas!!! For a few brief weeks, they are paraded and petted at shopping centres and Christmas displays. but for the rest of the year, hundreds of reindeer in Britain are enduring horrific neglect. Robin Page is the former presenter of the TV show ‘ One Man and his Dog’ and the author of a children’s book on reindeer, ‘ Why the Reindeer has a Velvet Nose’. Will explain to Maurice the cruelty dished out to this lovable animals.

And finally folks…. The Embarrassing Dad dance Routine is a sight most have witnessed at wedding receptions and discos up and down the country. But, now a study has found that cringe worthy dancing by middle-aged men is largely down to evolution. Dr Peter Lovatt, a psychologist and a dancer, found that men between 35 and their sixties practise embarrassing dance moves to repel younger women. Obviously he hasn’t seen Maurice dancing: Get it… Morris Dancing!!!!

The Boland Show has secured an exclusive interview with his lawyer Razi Shah who is hoping to have this ridicules conviction overturned on appeal.

We all knew it wouldn’t take long before a Tiger woods story would make the Boland Show…another day another mistress Tiger woods career has certainly attracted a few birds not to mentions the wood he keeps playing with. But the question is, how did he ever find time to play golf. Maurice’s guest Lauren St John says ALL golfers play around in fact she will tell us how they tried toi score with her….(sounds like a Boland Story!!!!)

Next up is Grant Smith a professional photographer will tell us about the time he was taking photographs of Christ Church in London when he was approached by a police officer who demanded to know what he was doing
(I would have told him: “Eating an efing ice cream, what’s it look like I’m doing) within minuets three police cars with lights flashing arrived as well as a riot van. He was questioned and then let go, It was reveled this week how police in Britain can treat you like a terrorist for taking a holiday snap.

She is now selling gift vouchers to friends and family of those facing legal battles and her firm has been inundated with requests to purchase this novel gift idea by celebrities, family and even mistresses. Now, what did I do with Tiger Woods wife’s telephone number??????
Here’s where we depart from the Christmas theme of today’s show; Victory For Free Speech screamed the headlines ‘ Devout Christians, Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang (good luck with the pronunciation of this one!!!) were cleared last week of insulting a Muslim Grandmother who was a guest in there hotel for insulting her faith over a breakfast time conversation on religion (you couldn’t make it up!!!). This ludercrise case included one highly paid senior Crown prosecutor, two policemen-including a detective chief inspector no less-in court to testify the accused. Behind them a team of six officers-yes six highly skilled policemen!!!. Not to mention a QC for the defendants and over 20,000 pounds of taxpayers money…British Justice gone mad or what??? This case has made headlines in all the British newspapers and TV news reports. It will be the first time that Ben and Sharon have agreed to a radio interview.

And finally: The subject of Irish abortion law: Three women launched a landmark case in the Courts of Human Rights in Strasbourg last week , the outcome of which could force Ireland to weaken its strict laws against abortion for the first time in 17 year, Controversial TD, Mary O’Rourke returns to the Boland guest list to give a no hold bared opinion on the ridicules divorce laws in Ireland… Boland on Tuesday at 10am

A report by Conservative MP Adam Holloway a member of the select defensive committee claims that the source of Tony Blair’s dossier on Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction came from an Iraqi taxi driver. Senior intelligence officials have told Adam that the cabbie falsely claimed Saddam Hussein had acquired long-range missiles after listening to Iraqi commanders chatting in his taxi two years before the invasion. Based on that Britton went into war seeing it’s hundredth young solder killed this year alone and you wonder why UK is in the state it’s in!!!! We’ll here more from Adam Holloway when he joins Boland’s guest list..

Up next again is another story that shows up some of the ridicules rules that British citizens have to live under; a British bride and her husband have been forced to leave the UK and live in cramped conditions in Chile because they are not old enough to qualify for a visa. Briton, Amber Aguilar, 18, married her 19 year old husband Diego from Chile after they had been in a relationship for two and a half years, but, five days after their wedding the government changed the law to mean newly married couples have to be 21 rather than 18 before a visa can go to a foreign national. Rupert Jeffery a deputy headmaster is Amber’s father and he talks to us about his daughter’s plight.

They are now on a very successful comeback tour and are set to launch an album, all without their sister Anne, So why has the eldest sister been left out? Perhaps it was because of her book where she revealed that she had been sexually molested by there father, or was it because of a fall out with youngest sisters Colleen husband? All will be revealed when Ann will give a no holds bared interview with Maurice. Next up are The Grime Twins yes folk Boland’s done he’s got The Grime Twins on his show…but wait a minuet its not THE Grime twins not exactly Jedward, they are Ollie and Niall Grimes and are the original Grimes Twins who run a pub in Dublin. like Jedward they like to dress up and also don’t have a note in their heads.

. The Boland Show guest list Wednesday 25th Nov: Well tie me kangaroo down sport Rolf Harris is on the Boland Show!!!! Rolf is an artist, musician, singer and TV presenter and one of Britain’s best-loved entertainers. It has been 40 years since Rolf Harris topped the Christmas charts and in a market dominated by young acts he has chosen an unlikely partner – Rick Parfitt of the legendary rock band Status Quo to help repeat the 1969 success of two little boys and According to a report in The Sunday Times, the single will be based on Harris' memories of eating a traditional hot turkey dinner in the scorching heat during his early years in Perth. In 2005 Harris was commissioned to paint a portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II for her 80th birthday, which was unveiled by Rolf Harris on 19 December 2005 at Buckingham Palace. Harris appeared with a wobble board in a Churchill Insurance advertisement in 2009, and hosted the satirical quiz show Have I Got News for You, aired on May 15, 2009.
Next is Ann Nolan who was scheduled for yesterday show but now the rescheduling sees her on the Wednesday guest list: the 1970’s singing sensations the Nolan’s have reformed - minus one sister , Anne. they are now on a very successful comeback tour and are set to launch an album , all without their sister Anne, So why has the eldest sister been left out? Perhaps it was because of her book where she revealed that she had been sexually molested by there father, or was it because of a fall out with youngest sisters Colleen husband? All will be revealed when Ann will give a no holds bared interview with Maurice.
The next interview is possibly more suited to The Gilmore Show: As climate change scientists are accused of fiddling their figures, Boland guest Christopher Booker, the author of a new book ‘ The Real Global Warming Disaster’ says the world is not getting hotter and we’re about to spend billions on a problem that doesn’t exist. Christopher Booker, Sunday Telegraph columnist and Bete Noir of climate campaigners, has here produced the definitive climate sceptics' manual. That's to say, he has rounded up just about every criticism ever made of the majority scientific view that global warming, most probably caused by human activity, is under way, and presented them unchallenged. If you share his convictions, you'll love it, and will dismiss the rest of this review as part of the cover-up. Right up Boland’s street me thinks????
And finally: Norwegian Bjorn Heidenstrom is cycling from Oslo to South Africa to collect signed football jerseys from all teams in all genres. all the shirts shall be sewn together to form the world’s largest signed football shirt which will be used as a flag during the world cup in 2010 in support of young refugees. Boland on Wednesday at 10am

The Boland Guest list for Tuesday 23rd Nov: There was great excitement in the record industry when the 1970’s singing sensations, the Nolan’s had reformed - But they had left out one sister, Ann.. Why did this happen? Was it because she had written a very controversial book telling for the first time that she, as a member of the whiter than white Irish girl group the Nolan Sisters, had in fact been sexually abused by there father? Or perhaps it was because she had a fall out with Coleen Nolan’s husband? In a very frank interview on the Boland Show she will tell her side of the story.
When Maurice first read this story he was so moved by it that he insisted that Mariatu Kamara come onto his show so she could tell her story herself; As a child in a small rural village in Sierra Leone, Mariatu lived peacefully surrounded by family and friends. rumours of rebel attacks were no more than a distant worry, but when 12 year old Mariatu set out for a neighbouring village, she never arrived. Heavily armed rebel soldiers, many no older than children, attacked and tortured her. During this brutal act of senseless violence they cut off both her hands and in her book ‘’ Bit of The Mango’ Mariatu tells the story of her miraculous survival.
The dark stories continue when we follow this story: A man who strangled his wife in his sleep as he dreamed he was tackling an intruder walked free from court yesterday. In a highly unusual case, prosecutors had already agreed that although he killed his wife, they would not seek a guilty verdict because he was not in control of his actions. Neil Stanley is chairman of the British sleep society and discusses this particular disorder. Time we lighten up at this point; Eamon Nancarrow grew up in Holywood, County Down, with a passion for rock and roll. He dreamt of striding across the world’s stages, singing his heart out and lapping up all the trimmings that success would deliver. Somehow Eamon didn’t make it but he had a ball trying and has brought it all to life in his hilarious memoirs ‘ Holywood star: The Life and Times of a Rock and Roll Misadventurer

One of Premierships most prolific goal scorers and father of Katie’s first child, Dwight Yorke, will explain to Maurice that he was married to two people Jordan and Katie Price,"Katie was much more tender, much more loving, much softer.

By the age of 18 he weight in at around 25 stones. However, he suffered a chronic lack of confidence coupled with low self esteem saw him fall into a dead end job and a cycle of binge eating and depression. The years that followed saw the weight continue to pile on and despite spells of weight loss he would always put it back on and more. By January 2003, he weighed in excess of 50 stones !!!

Looks like Quentin will be left off this years Bono’s Christmas card list!!!!
