Dermot & Dave

When Neil in Laois got in touch with Dermot and Dave, he was not having a good day. He'd had a bad sleep, he was cranky, he was unmotivated and he was stuck working from home. So, we did what we do best. We gave him a call and tried to cheer him up. Of course, in the interest of him not getting into trouble in work, we had to do some subtle name changing to protect his identity. 'James' spoke to Dermot and Dave about his reluctance to go to the old favourite of coffee and sugar to get him through the rest of the day. But, that got us thinking. Could we give James/Neil, the best day in work ever? The answer? Yes. We got comedian Eric Lalor to do a stand up set in his back-garden, arranged a bouncy castle with Damien from SoFreshEntertainment.ie and even a glitter beard from Amanda at Glitter Babes and Inked Dudes. The moral of the story is, if you're having a bad day, the only people to call are Dermot and Dave.
