'Did they chirp the whole way on the bus?'

BBC Radio Ulster - Sean Coyle, 'Did they chirp the whole way on the bus?'

When day old chicks were put in a cardboard box and sent on public transport.

Day old chicks used to be put in cardboard boxes and sent on the Ulster Transport Authority buses. Barbs says there's still a concrete UTA bus stop in Millisle.

Day-old chicks used to be put in cardboard boxes and sent on the Ulster Transport Authority buses to places all over Northern Ireland and they usually arrived safely. Barbs says there's still a concrete UTA bus stop in Millisle. Sean wonders if parcels are still sent on the bus.
Tony The Biker says whoever is picking the music this morning 'couldn't pick their nose'.
Sean wants to get new hessian bags with a Christmas message on it. Lottie remembers seeing Roy Rodgers' horse, Trigger, closing his eyes and saying the Cowboy Prayer. The Belfast Cowboy was tidying up and found a poem he wrote about Sean's last outside broadcast so he phoned in to read it on the radio.  Sean saw Lee Marvin at the Henry Cooper and Muhammad Ali fight in Highbury in the 60s. Music from Olly Murs, Take That, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Status Quo, Lee Marvin and more.
