    Just read a bunch of quoted "tweets" from the paper last week and there was one from George best son about appearing on an irish tv show..he was saying along the lines that he had no interest but he feels he has to keep "his irish fans happy"....


    How in the name of jehovah can anyone and i mean anyone be a fan of george best's son....??????

    People who find talentless, chubby, balding, love-rats attractive/interesting?

    Fionn Regan. Was doing a private show and was very difficult to deal with. Refused to cooperate and was sullen and obnoxious the entire time. The venue could only cater for acoustic gigs due to it being a day time show but he showed up with a full electric set up and drums despite knowing this. His way or the highway. Wanna talk to someone about it? My manager is over there.

    Gemma Hayes and Josh Ritter could not have been nicer. Both very happy to chat and sign albums for people. Very appreciative of any help they were offered and were all round friendly people. Particularly impressed with Ritter as he had just gone through a nightmare journey to get to Dublin during the ash cloud fiasco. It was a private show that was early in the day ahead of his main show in Grand Canal Theatre and he could easily have cancelled as he had very little sleep in the past 24 hours. Was more than happy to proceed and was completely chilled out and happy to have some banter with those who spoke to him. Extremely polite man.

    Where was this? Wasn't in Barrow St by any chance was it ;)

    And the Oscar for the most obnoxious celeb goes too... not Peter O' Toole ;)

    You should mention the fact he holds the records for the most oscar nominations without a win, that might have made him even nicer! But yea, he wasn't particularly pleasant when i met him.

    This isn't 'rudest celeb' in the typical sense but my sister was in Mary I uni with daithi o se she said he had the filthiest dirtiest mind and talked bout nothing but sex. She also said he absolutely reeked, though I assume now he's 'famous' he can afford soap!

    I find it hard to believe. Lemmy is renowned for being one of the most approachable people around and will sit and chat, take a picture, have a pint with anyone who asks. I know loads of people who have met him and they cannot speak highly enough of the man.

    I have met Josh on a number of occasions and a nicer bloke you could not wish to meet. Last time was at his recent gig in Vicar Street. He had a meet and greet after the show, where everybody in the audience was welcome and he left the place at 3AM! As for Gemma Hayes, I haven't had the pleasure yet, although one of my mates has, and he hasn't been the same since. Luckily, his better half understands.

    in fact I was talking to someone recently who said exactly this!! In fact you are more than welcome back stage as long as you show respect!

    I'm from a small town in North Wales called Llandudno, same place as Lemmy lived for a while in his youngers days.

    About 10yrs ago went to see Motorhead at The Academy in Manchester, asked fro the tour manager and explained we were from same town that Lemmy grew up in and any chance of a word, he said he'd ask Lemmy and for us to go to the bar.

    We'd been in the bar less than 5 mins when he came up and escorted us to Lemmy's dressing room, never have i met a nicer guy (Well, Maybe Dave Grohl). Chatted away for 20 mins or so.

    Also met him when he played a festical here at the RDS about 8 yrs ago, i was roadie for one of the support bands (Breed 77) and had a good chat with him then, was a mates birthday and i took a card in to ask if Lemmy could sign it to him, he wrote To Dave from Colwyn Bay, Happy Birthday from Lemmy from Colwyn fcuking Bay.

    So sorry, will not believe anybody who says that Lemmy is a twat

    Derek Mooney...complete and utter diva. What annoys me is that he acts so nice on TV, like butter wouldn't melt. Cnut.

    I have heard a few people complain about how they were treated by Lemmy but I've never believed a word of it. The man has always came across as being a genuinely decent bloke who resects his fans. If anyone doubts this then I recommend a viewing of the documentary Lemmy in which the man comes across as being a true gent who will sit with any fan and gladly share a pint or three.

    i have met one or two in the past, for me its a toss up between joeeeeee dufffffffffyyyyy and alex sarpanos from franz ferdinand. but if you had a gun to my head i would say joe duffy, was working at an event and there was a charge of €10 and he didnt want to pay it just went on ranting about the price and how expensive it was, just stopped short of saying "Do you know who i am" complete penis

    The most ignorant however would have to go to Colin Mountgomerie - found his ball at the Irish Open when I was stewarding as an excited teenager - when he came over he never even said thanks and motioned me away with his club!!

    In fairness, he was in the middle of a competition. Tunnel vision.

    O'Connor.

    Yea, I'd expect as much. He's good of a Saturday night though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭PinkFly

    The fool barged into me at the ploughing championships one year and shouted 'come up out of the way will ya'. Bit of a Hayseed with notions of himself id say.

    Drico is supposed to be rude. Friends were in Kielys a while back after a match and asked him nicely if he would step into the photo and his response was less than cordial. it would appear he does not always have time for his fans.

    hes nervous of a Saturday night and the best way to overcome that is to belittle his guests.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,371 ✭✭✭Fuinseog


    Daniel O Donnell was a pri.ck believe it or not :D

    how was he a pricke? If you approached him a sneer then you got what you deserved.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭Gillo


    I was gonna say Twink, but that assumes that she actually is a celeb either way she was pig ignorant any time I did meet her (also not the bightest).

    Also met Shane Horgan, very ignorant guy (especially compared to any other members if the Irish team I've met).
