Why are you interested if there's anyone famous? It shouldn't make any difference to your using the site.

That explains the post Pighead received from you last week:

"Hi Pighead,
I am a long time admirer of your work(especially the recent stuff). Please make my day and let me join your gang, your gang"

I could answer your question but I think that if you stalk every Irish famous person (there's not a lot to be fair) eventually you'll discover which ones use this site.

I should warn you though. I will be telling my fellow famous people about this at the secret famous people club so we'll they'll be ready for you.

Actually Snyper appeared on the Late Late Show if I recall..... ah here it is

I believe that Pat kissing Brendan O'Connor caused him to want to have some too, he mentioned ar$ehole alot so I don't know what he wanted, I guess he had his 15seconds of fame.

Oh my god - I ended up in a taxi on dame st with this lunatic one night. I didnt know who he was. He started saying all this sh!t in the taxi then about driving through the glass doors of rte. His daughter worked there and now she wouldn't talk to him - go figure.:rolleyes: The reason behind it was to "get people's attention. I have so many ideas on road safety and no-one is listening to me".

Hmm, so the best way to get that attention for this cause is to ram your car into glass doors?? Eh, okay then.

He paid for my share of the fare. I was pretty freaked out by the time I got to my house. And he was wearing that jacket!!!! Classic.:D:pac:

A load of people that could be considered "famous" or a name that might ring a bell have done, however a few arn't great at taking criticism and can kick up a fuss. Pity.

The producers of some comedy series RTE piloted lately posted in TV for a while.

To be fair they took the criticisms of their show and suggestions for improvement on the chin.

He has at least two accounts.One of them "sheepskin" got banned a while back after coming off owrse in a thunderdome slagging match.The other,Honeytrap posts occasionaly to tell us where he'll be "performing" next.As somebody pointed out,he uses this place for viral advertising.
In the same breath,i'm pretty sure the clown who wrote the dire rte laugh-a-minute "prosperity" is on here somewhere.
I think yer man David Mcwilliams was here briefly,he attempted to defend himself in a thread and ended up pissing off in a huff.
