Hello. Hello. And welcome to the Alan Phil and Scoup. It's Anne Michael Henney here.

And Phelan McAleer. It's Christmas week. And I hope you had a fabulous Christmas day and that no one had a big massive fight. And that everyone got on really well. I'm sure. Yes. You know, fine. Of course they did. Of course they did. Of course it. Yes. And there were no, and there were no tragedies or dramas in the kitchen.

I remember one year my mother dropped. Did she what did she drop? I think she dropped the turkey. It can happen. What's wrong with dropping the turkey? There's nothing wrong. Well, except for the door, if the floor isn't 100% clean, you know. It's just it's not ideal actually, film, you know,

because it might lose a bit of its, you know, integrity.

You might lose a bit of stuffing or whatever. Okay. Oh, you don't want to lose the stuffing. You do now want to do that. Yes. And at least some people have turkeys for Christmas. Well, we're, we're taking, we're, we're taking this week off. and we've pre-recorded this particular episode, but we didn't want you to be bereft,

totally bereft of our company.

So that's why we've recorded this. And we thought at this time of, you know, at this time of the year, this quieter time of the year, when people have a bit more time, that we would go and look back over what we've been working on this year with the unreported Story Society of the accomplishments and the projects that we completed this year and it's been a massive... And maybe look forward to a few... And maybe look forward to a couple of things that we're going to be doing and a very full year in 2024. But for right now... Yes, it's been very busy. It's been very busy. On three continents, by the way, Phil. Three continents. Is it three continents? We were discussing that. So basically America. This was written by someone and else. Someone wrote and helped us with this and said, on three continents, we were in three continents. United States, sub-America, the American continents. Europe. Europe. And then Israel. And then we remembered Israel is in the Eurovision song contest. Which I don't know if that's an official geographical term. By the way, Americans, I'm not sure Americans really know what the Eurovision song contest is, but it used to be hewage in Ireland. When we were growing up, it was a massive thing. It was one of the few things actually that I think we won. You do I mean? I think it was the first time Ireland won anything So we got very excited

We had Ack, we should nearly play a little bit of that

If we could

But Dana famously Dana

All kinds of everything

I think she was the first person to win

And once she won

It was like we broke a spell of some kind

And we won it all the time then

That's right

Say of us and fishermen

Things of the sea.

Wishing once, when bells, early morning June, all kinds of everything remind me of you.

One of the perks of winning it was that you had to host the event next year and the Irish broadcaster couldn't afford to...

To repeatedly have to host all these countries coming in.

So anyway, Philan, what, tell us about what, what have we
