W@nkers!

Mr Grumpy

Sorry if this has been done before... (I'm new here and I'm not going to look through 1,000's of posts - so just ignore it)

Generally as an ex-pat Irish man I'm pretty proud of all things Irish. I always seek out Kerrygold butter in the shops and despite every bit of sinew, fibre and piece of common sense in my body I sometimes even defend Bono when he is at his most evangelical.

So I gotta ask. Who? Or what? Of our great Irish exports makes you want to curl up and die of embarrassment? Now don't say Bertie that's too easy. He has to do his job (after all we as f*ckwits voted him in (yes I vote - I'm sorry (but I didn't vote for him or his party)). So... Riverdance? Daniel? Van the man? Oirish bars?

Personally I vote for Graham Norton. He doesn't really play the Oirish card so you gotta give him that but... I still wanna kick ten shades outta him. Really I'm embarrassed for him. As a man. As a homo sapien.

Sarky

Dana, Michael Flatly, boybands. All deserve horrible pointy rusty death.

Westlife,Dana

Mr Grumpy

Good man (woman?) Sarky! Flatly is an excellent choice. He's an embarressment in Ireland too - double points!

UnrealQueen

Daniel O'Donnell

Mr Grumpy

Good choices guys... but gives us some reasons. Explain (other than the obvious!)

Just so you think I'm being negative I'll start a positive thread!

kmart6

OHHH right

Daniel O'Donnell-To goody two shoes for my likin

Sarky

Do you really need explanations? I mean, seriously?

Oh very well then.

Dana is a ferociously self righteous and equally clueless f*cknut. If she could, I have no doubt she'd make sex illegal, crucify rape babies, and make mass compulsory five times a day. Also, I don't like her past music at all.

Michael Flatly is responsible for setting back the image of Ireland by 50 years. Just when we were beginning to climb out of 3rd world-ness, along comes this prat reaffirming every diddly-idle-doodle and tura-loora-loora every single other nation had in ther collective conciousness.

And I really don't have to explain why boybands are embarrassing. Dull, talentless claptrap with no imagination or soul, responsible for stealing intelligence and taste from the masses. That goes for girl bands too, although they're slightly easier on the eyes. Only slightly, mind.

Mr Grumpy

Good lad Sarky. Excellent reasons! I concur.

Sarky

I am a woman.

OHH there could be slap's here

Leprechauns. Cos' "ohh my gauuuuuuuuud you guy's really have leprechauns (pronounced la-pree-chuns) over there?"

Indeed she is a very attractive young woman and not just my opinion either!

Louis Walsh without doubt, that guy is a tosser.

Actually... I'd have to change or add to my vote and say Westlife are the pits. Just thinking of them as ambassadors for Ireland makes my stomach turn. And yes, a few people (mostly Americans) that I have met in the last few years have said "Ooh, isnt that where westlife come from?" when I told them I was from Ireland.

Westlife sucks brown eye. I must be getting old - normally I get U2 or Guinness, but recently I got a French guy extoling the heroic exploits of Stephen Roche at La Plague in 1987 (jeez is it that long ago?) and I can admit to cheering Roche on like a fuking maniac.

rymus

Jesus.. Stephen Roche. There's a name you don't hear very often these days. Blast from the past or what

ah i wouldn't be embarssed about stephen roche like who the **** remembers him?

Tommy Vercetti

Louis Walsh and Ronan Keating. I really really really really really hope they both have a slow and painful death. Well actually not too slow, maybe 24 hours of suffering.

Daniel O' Donnell is a nice guy compared to those arsebags.

Quatre Mains

...Newstalk had Louis Walsh and a couple of other people on a few weeks ago discussing the view that Irish people begrudge success. Thats very true, and just to prove it here's my list. I'll try to stay away from ones already mentioned (bar the 1st one, whoccould leave him out)

1. Louis Walsh for his comments around the Special Olympics

2. His protege Shane Lynch, everyones favorite Boyzone Boy for his antics at the childline concerts and his opinion(rough quote) that Irish people are all jealous arseholes.

3. Jim Beglin - one time when he was a pundit on the football the presenter asked him what the outcome of the match was going to be and he started with "Well don't call me Mystic Beg..." enough said.

4. New Entry - Royston Brady the nu-Mayor, who hasn't taken long to learn the Fianna Fail ropes, geting himself into as many editions of tabloid muck like the Star as possible cos he knows gimps will vote for him in the future on the basis that he;s 'the nice man who got the homeless couple a house'.

About Graham Norton, I have to agree with ya. And I think the only reason he doesn't play the Oirish card is because he's ashamed to be Irish. Any time American guests refer to him as being English, he doesn't correct them. And he's always using words like 'us' and 'we' when referring to the Brits. I know that he's on a British channel but it wouldn't be too hard for him to express himself without disowning his country.

Fatal Deviation - The Movie *shudders*

The fact that other people in other countries might see it and think Ireland is as bad as the movie.

hmm so the choices seem to lie somewhere between

People who got rich somehow
People who became famous and made lots of money
People who made lots of money after coming to fame or the limelight
People who are not you but made lots of money and/Or became famous so you feel the need to bitch about them
People who won anything
People who achieved something that got them lots of cash or contacts that would make them money in time

Missing any?

Wtf are you quoting me for, it has nothing to do with your reply apart from the fact I'm from Dublin. Is it cos I is black?

Didn't anyone ever teach you the sticks and stones rhyme at School? Bless

pat kenny, he is a right ****bandit

TacT

Nearly forgot about the gullible people who live outside of Dublin City and County that never travelled further than their own local, :eek: believe everything their 1 mate who travelled to the continent for a week says about the 1 bloke he met abroad from Dublin who couldn't get over his accent so he decides to paint everyone in Dublin with the same brush and spread the word while re-enforcing the fact that his crew needs to stick together and watch them Dubs with their accents that actually don't seem funny at all..

To the restauration mobile Robin!
