I Need Eddie Hobbs

    Hello Boarders,

    I have serious issue, and need help with it, I need to find Eddie Hobbs.

    Basically, myself and another fan, are going to the Capital of Culture for an experiment, and we had an idea to find the aspiring gentleman that he is.

    Unfortunately, we are Dublin folks ourselves, and we need to find what Cork haunts does he happen to peruse.

    Could any friends, Roman, Corkonians, point us in the right direction to where we can find this individual. We will be there on Monday 20th August, so all help would be nice. It's a documentary you know.

    Please help, we are serious!

    Cheers,

    D & E.

    Beaten to it, but I still require payment. One million Terry's chocolate oranges will do.

    But is there any nice little bistros in Cork City that he may go to?

    (Thanks for replying by the way!)

    I knew Terry had red hair but I didn't know he was black. :p You learn something new every day.

    I'm glad I actually read this thread because when I saw it listed I half thought it was in some sexual way you needed him.

    Archeron: If you are him, you should re-consider how you spell your name.

    You would think he would have bought somewhere further out. You know, because houses are cheaper the further you are from a city.

    I've been on a plane before, loses its novelty factor after a while and since 9/11 now there is absolutely no chance of seeing the cockpit and flying for a bit (although they probably don't let anyone over the age of ten do that anyway). You'll have to sweeten the deal a bit more. How much could you get away with as "expenses". I'm talking, booze, drugs and hookers here.

    Naturally, it's the capital of culture (well it was) Collie D, so we can claim all out expenses back. I hear Cork has a lovely red light district and it's not too far from the Post Office. :D

    ----

    We rang, as a joke, the Post office in Cork, and we asked how we can find it.

    Us: "Hello, could I ask you where I can find the Post Office"

    PO: "We're In Cork, ya know"

    Us: "Yes I Know that, but where in Cork"

    PO: "Emm... Ah sure do ya know Oliver Plu-uuuuu-nket Street? We're there like"

    Us: "Oh great, and could I ask where that is?"

    PO: "Hmm, are you from Cork yourself boy?"

    Us: "No, thats why we are asking directions"

    PO: "(mumbles) Yeah, that would make sense why you're asking- Tell me this, Do you know Brown Thomas?"

    Us: "Em, not really to be honest"

    PO: "YOU DON'T?!?! Well, you don't know how to get anywhere if you don't know Brown Thomas, like. Ah for goodness sake, you're a lost cause so, locals might bring you there if you ask nicely"

    Us: "Okay, I'll do that when we get there. One final question, how much are stamps in Cork"

    PO: "I don't think there is a difference, and if there is, I should know like, shouldn't I?


    He then went to ask his colleague beside him if the stamps were more expensive than in the capital. No joke.

    If you're actually doing a documentary on Eddie Hobbs then would you not be better off contacting him through his website and arranging to meet him rather than stalking him in cafes and restaurants when he's eating his lunch. He may not be willing to talk to you if you just turn up unannounced. It's amateur and unprofessional.

    jor el, By no means is this a documentary about Eddie Hobbs, it's a small mockumentary that we're filming in cork. It's a bit of fun, a skit, but we'll be asking locals where he hangs out and where he was seen, as to make a bit of light entertainment about the individual.

    It's not supposed to be serious by any means, and we don't intend to meet him or talk to him, it's only for a bit of humour that we're speaking to the locals. Thank you for your feedback though, much appreciated!

    PS. We're staying on the good side of the law, and won't be hanging around stalking him, per sé! :D

    No Guerrilla style film tactics here! :)
