BRENDA

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

If you have listened to Irish radio, ever, then the name “BRENDA” will be instantly familiar.

BRENDA was on 2FM, maybe she still is. BRENDA is often on RTE Radio 1. BRENDA’s voice is possibly the worst thing about her. I actually imagine her mouth to be two filthy ashtrays, one on top of the other, belching forth smoke and fag butts as she speaks. Today, on air, BRENDA said “can’t a woman get a tan-job in peace”. BRENDA must be orange.

BRENDA never has her own show, instead she attaches herself to the body of healthy, living shows, and survives on their biological excess of vacuous banter. Nobody has any idea what BRENDA actually is for. Nobody asked for BRENDA and nobody would say “where has BRENDA gone” if she was fired. What is the point of BRENDA?

I think I would like it if I never heard BRENDA on the radio again! Thankfully in London BRENDA will not be on the radio.
