    So "The Restaurant" show was on the tv in my house earlier and Gerald Kean was on it. Why is this guy always on our Tv's lately or more precisely RTE?

    What does being solicitor make you famous for?

    I am stumped.

    The Sunday Independent seem to love him, and he seems to love publicity, so it's a marriage made in heaven, especially the fact that all the Celtic Tiger yuppies that "identify" with him.

    He does alot of soliciter work for celebrities, so that makes him fashionable, methinks?

    Turns out he's an average solicitor. Ah well.

    Probably represented a few high brow clients, and has a panache for spending money and throwing parties.

    I have not heard of many of the "celebs" on that program, and from the reaction of the diners -neither have they, the presenter often has to fully explain who they are to the diners.

    Arguably it's his girlfriend that gives him so much kudos with the press, she's never far away from the cameras. His poor kids must be highly embarrassed by his antics.

    Hard neck and plenty of dosh and personality.

    Have to admit the fcuker has something,can't stand his type,but I heard him on the radio recently and the fcuker has balls sure enough.

    Fair play to him.

    He cultivates the media, trying to up his profile to get business I suspect

    Seems to be living the life, is very successful at what he does, has a lash of a wife, and is a pretty interesting read.

    Hes a very cocky(with reason i admit) character
