Famous Irish People Posting on Boards

vodafoneproblem · 2010-05-20 15:36:17

Do you ever read posts on boards in the voices of certain famous Irish people? I've noticed I sometimes read certain people's posts in the voice of Vincent Browne, for example. You know the type.

A bit crabby but with a certain intelligence and incisiveness, and a few standard hand-wavey, dismissive phrases stuck in here and there. He seems to have several alt accounts, too. :pac:

I think it was later proven to be an impersonator.

Many posts on here carry the voice of jedward too.

Any posts that are pointing out how 'ah isn't the 'dublin city' forum y'know' I read those in a carlow accent for some reason.

He did post here. He had a special confirmed account and everything like the commercial rep accounts.

My cousin was most pleased.

I won't say what username he uses, but I know for a fact that Declan Buckley (telly bingo) is a boards regular. All I am willing to say is that he has over a thousand posts ( that should narrow it down.....not)

Don't name names! If what you're saying is true then whenever someone takes the piss of them again it could be construed as personal abuse.. maybe that's why it's against the rules to speculate on the identity of users =p

Eamon Ryan posted here about a consultation he was having on the roadmap of the next generation of broadband in Ireland, nobody from here got to attend as all seats were already given out to his cronies.

Then later he announced the 3-National Broadband Scheme Midband farce, when we should be planning fibre optic like other countries
