Poor Noni, all she wanted was some pals over to make her a little less lonely but things went out of control and turned into an almighty sesh.

Dermot and Dave caught up with her live from Limerick to give out to her for breaking the rules!

It's all a new world and we're all just trying to get used to living in it, but one thing that is causing an awful lot of debate is around the popular 'visors'.

While there's definitely merits to them, recent studies have shown that perhaps we shouldn't be relying on them as our only means for protection.

To clear up the big visor debate, and to explain what we all should be wearing, Dr Matt O'Toole joined Dermot and Dave with some quick advice.

It doesn't matter if it's dark or bright, the middle of the afternoon or late or night, people around the country are having their heads WRECKED by fireworks at the moment.

But what can be done to stop it?

Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee, spoke to Dermot and Dave about a new campaign launched to discourage the use of fireworks, and what those in charge are doing to stop someone needlessly getting hurt.

Dermot and Dave also spoke to Ken in Cork who was nearly left with permanent damage when he was young after an accident with a firework.

It's like something out of a buddy-film starring Ryan Reynolds but it could be real life in the near future.

'Deadpool' star Ryan Reynolds has teamed up with the creator and star of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' Rob McElhenney to put a bid in for Wrexham Football Club.

The club, is the oldest in Wales and one of the oldest in the world, is currently playing in the National League which is the fifth tier of the English league.

It was confirmed last night through their Twitter that the fans, who own the club, have voted overwhelmingly for talks to proceed.

If you've ever had a question that's been wrecking your head that even Google can't solve, there's always Dave's World. 

Larry got in touch with Dave with this question:

Can Dave's World answer this? A fly lands on the ceiling, and then flies away. How does he fly away? Can he just "turn off" whatever suction pads he uses, fall backwards for a split second, then right himself and fly away? Or does he jump backwards, breaking the suction, fall backwards and right himself? Can't find anything on Google! Larry.

Dave's World can't solve it, but we knew just the person who could. Collie Ennis, Science Officer for the Herpetological Society of Ireland joined Dermot and Dave where he explained how flies, well, fly.

With Halloween just weeks away, the country is divided over whether or not the traditional trick or treating should go ahead.

However, there could be a solution that will suit everyone!

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Philip McKeown revealed that he has created a 'Halloween Drive Thru Trick or Treat Experience' in Mullingar which will allow people to trick or treat safely.

The event, which takes place in the Mullingar Equestrian Centre on October 30th and 31st is described as a 'one hour Halloween experience' which is suitable for all ages.

It will be completely contactless, everyone will stay in their car throughout and sweets will be passed into the trick or treat bags through a 2 metre tube. And it'll have a real Halloween feel with ghosts, ghouls and witches offering tricks and treats as well as a fireworks display and a live performance of Thriller included!

Some questions in life are made for arguments-should ketchup be in the fridge or not? Dressing gowns or housecoats? But the one dividing the Dermot and Dave team at the moment is 'where should you keep your toaster?'

Eimear from the show recently moved in with her boyfriend and is currently involved in a raging debate over her fella's wish to keep the toaster in the press. She believes firmly that it should be on the counter, with its best pal, the kettle.

Not only has it caused ructions at home, it's now been brought into the office where it's split the D&D team right down the middle and it turns out, the nation as well.

With Halloween just over a month away, question marks are beginning to spring up about whether or not trick or treating will be on the cards for thousands around the country.

And listeners to Dermot and Dave are divided over whether or not it's appropriate for children to travel around their local area knocking to neighbours houses.

Some listeners feel it's the chance for children to have some sense of occasion after St. Patricks' Day, Easter and thousands of communions and confirmations have been cancelled or postponed while others see the notion of interacting with that many people as impossible given current restrictions.

A poll taken by Dermot and Dave found that 53% of listeners believe Halloween should go ahead as it usually would, while 47% would prefer to see no trick or treating.
