    2000 people in the one room, no shoes used to have to run across hot coals to get to school, no food, no water...... he's like one of those ads looking for money for Ethiopia.

    Gerry Ryan doing the Sigmund Freud on it here, pyschoanalising him!

    Were you your mothers husband? Was your father envious of you?

    "I'm the best messenger boy in de country"
    He said "You're great"
    I said "I know"
    "I know every street in the country"
    "I'm terrific"
    "I'm the hardest worker in the country"
    "I'm not afraid of anything...I'm not afraid Gerry"

    I wish I could be as good as Bill Cullen. :rolleyes:

    Freud would be all over this... Big Oedipus complex here. (i.e. child wants to bate his father and shag his mother).

    I liked Bill. I thought he came across as genuine.

    Now Gerry! What a pain in the hole.

    I met Gerry in person recently btw.

    He is a stump of a man. His legs are strangely short in proportion to the remainder of his body. His arse is very low due to the short legs.

    An annoying stump of a man.

    I think Bill is a legend and having met him, he's a lovely, decent and GENUINE man. I can't see what he's done for you all to hate him so much? He does an awful lot of good stuff for people less well off than himself. Maybe some of ye could try likewise??

    How come this show isn't available on the RTE player?

    Jonathan. You worry me. I have rarely seen such bile and negativity spewed from one person about others. Most of your postings are character assasinations and generally negative. You must have been badly hurt in the past? Such hatred can be very damaging for you both mentally and physically. Maybe some counselling would help?You really should address the root issues and you'll feel a lot better and secure in yourself and will lose the need to attack and villify everyone else. I'll think good thoughts for you.

    lmao.. And I've been usually positive this week. ;)
    I've a lot of respect for Bill, havent said anything negative about him here. just heard his story (which is still the same 20 years later) sooo many times at this stage. And I stand by my remark about Freud.

    I did once have respect for this man, and in fair to him he did build his business up and made many good choice.

    However I have to agree with other posters when they say that he has being spinning the same story for the last 20 years. And really now he is just making money out of that story.

    Conference, public appearances, TV interviews and even The Apprentice revolves around his Penny Apples story. He is now just milking the story. He is a motivational speaker. Sin É.

    So what do you want him to do make up a new life story? Where yould you like the fantasy to be set? Are thi ngs that bad now that we want a make up stury instead of the truth and honesty?

    The whole walk to school barefoot in the snow routine was played out years before he came along. It's often used as a joke tale the older generation tell the kids. I understand and respect his background and achievements but all his interviews give a sense of, 'If you're not successful like me it's because you're lazy.' He leaves me with a sense of 'get over yourself already Bill.’
