    One school in England has Johnny Depp, going by the many, many threads around.
    So what about you?

    We had the county GAA captain and manager twice.
    They filled the Liam McCarthy cup with lemonade and you were allowed hold it and drink from it.
    I'd imagine this is still done every year.

    Australian ambassador to Ireland as well, she traced her relations to the area.

    That's about it realy,
    Anyone come to your school?

    Nobody really..... Cardinal Tomás O'Fiach was the most well known person we saw:o. We had to sing 'The Bard of Armagh' for him.
    I remember this other time, some footballers coming in with a trophy cup full of orange juice for us to have a slurp of, dunno a fcuk who they were:confused:.
    Rumours went round one Christmas, while we were watching the boy's school's concert, that Santy was going to make an appearance....but he didn't:(

    Mary Harney visited my class when i was in primary. We'd all spent days making posters and cards for her to look at, and she picked up one, gave it a quick glance and fecked off. Put me off her for life.

    Few of the Laois team that won the Leinster in 2003.
    Aidy Roche(yer one from Chernobyl, bored the shíte outta me).
