    I am an international rock megastar, a sporting legend, and on tuesdays, I am a world famous astronaut. Surely you've heard of me? My pic is all over google images? No?

    In deed having listened to Gaspodes musicality and duclet tones I have to say he is awesome.

    Back in my glory days I won an under 12 schools football championship. The final was in Croker so I'm sure it made the headlines

    I was on the winning team on hit RTE kids quiz show "The Works". The fame went to my head though and it lead to 3.5 divorces, 7 arrests, 11 spells in rehab (4 of which were court mandated) and an intervention from Dr Phil.

    Ssssh no one's supposed to know. Especially when he posts while on the radio.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    I'm Tom Dunne's RIS. I was also featured in a 1990 copy of the Evening Echo when I started primary school. I can also be seen on the DVD of the first series of Anonymous.

    Also I'm great and everyone loves me.

    I hated that show! But I always wanted to be on the quiz where you picked a subject and they asked you questions about it. What were you doing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭tbaymusicman


    Im the original inspiration for mickey mouse


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    I used to do a current affairs show on the radio and I once gave Tom Dunne 3 quarters of my pig bread.

    But singing like a canary might also lead to said immediate and perpetual excommunication and banishment from BGRH along with howls of derisive laughter, therein lies the dilemma.

    It's like Schrodingers cat, only without the cat part, so that just leaves Scrhodinger, but I'm nothing like him either.

    So, what to do? Your move Trout

    i'd bet good money, if I opened Schroedingers box ... I'd find some pizza

    orestes banned until he sings like a canary

    since you suspect, and rightly so, that either action OR inaction may lead to immediate and perpetual excommunication and banishment from BGRH along with howls of derisive laughter and no small measure of scorn ... I have decided to ban you anyway, and then whatever decision you make ... I will simply endorse. This gives me the illusion of some say in the matter. Perhaps. Perhaps not.

    I'm nearly 40 years old now, and I've learned that illusion is almost all we have.

    A little bird told me it was dancing,irish dancing, ringlettes, poodle socks and all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,957 ✭✭✭trout


    pics or GTFO :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    My ban has been temporarily lifted in order to allow me to address this concern. I was contemplating my staying schtum/sing like a canary options, but my hand has been forced by scandelous allegations made towards me, which I would like to address here once and for all.

    I never, I repeat never did Irish dancing. I would like to make this point perfectly clear and to register my disappointment with those who feel it is somehow "humorous" to level such an allegation against a full-blooded male, especially in the hallowed haven of manliness that is BGRH. The brothers and brotherettes I am sure would all agree that Irish dancing would be no activity suitable for a man, and any man who engages in such a heinous activity should be scorned.

    I did ballroom dancing, which is completely different, and really manly, I am sure we can all agree :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    I applaud your bravery orestes. I know I said I had your back but well....it would be wrong of me not to give the men a chance to mock you a little bit.

    Set dancing is very manly, esp at the pace that they do it in Kerry.

    Yeah a guy came to the school to teach the kids set dancing and when I was dancing with him he was throwing me around harder than your average Brother could. And he wasn't even particularly manly looking.

    There's a saying in Kerry, good in the set, good in the sack.

    i was on questions and answers a few years ago and asked the panel a question. been on the wireless a few times too, talking about the smoking ban


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 13,425 ✭✭✭✭Ginny


    Hold on doesn't that mean Oero boy was probably the only bloke in a class full of girls, is that not to be applauded?
    I know I had to laugh when I found out a male friend who did dancing with us wasn't gay, we'd ( about 20 girls) assumed he was and so had no problem stripping off in front of him during quick changes, I'm sure he had the last laugh..:D

    As I have already told you and Ginny alluded to, that was a clever move. Getting to dance with all those hawt wimmins.

    Smart orestes is smart. :D
