After getting anxious that things were moving too fast one listener blocked the guy she was chatting to and now that she's realised her mistake she thinks he might have blocked her in return and can't get through to him. The girls offer their own advice and Charleen manages to resist the urge to tell her to set up a fake account - Just barely though.

And after Ellie's rant about lads who rev their engines the girls wonder why they do it and if there are girls out there who are impressed by it?

In 'Rant of the Week' Charleen opens up about the reaction online to her latest bikini post and wonders how some women can claim to support other women while tearing her down at the same time. Ellie too wishes people were kinder, specifically at her gym where she's in need of a bit of help.

They also offer their support to a listener whose cheating ex is trying to get back into her life 8 years later. She's not sure if he deserves a second chance, or if he even wants one, maybe he just wants a place to say when he moves to her area!

Given her frequent trips, it's no surprise that Charleen's rant this week is about the airport - Specifically the cost of a bottle of water in them. Ellie rants about Dublin's changing road layouts, and there's a rant from a listener whose engagement didn't get any reaction at her work.

And for this week's 'If I Was You' the girls help a listener who found messages, and a picture of her boyfriend in bed with a middle aged woman and wonders if it's just a phase from his past or something she should be worried about?
