The Sunday World

    I usually get a selection of newspapers on a Sunday morning & the Sunday World is one of them. It's not the greatest paper by any stretch but it's handy to flick through while cooking a fry.

    Anyway there's a journalist on it called Geraldine Comiskey & I have yet to see an article where she is not wearing as little as she can get away with & striking 'provocative' poses. I know I shouldn't expect much from a tabloid but I mean it's ridiculous at this stage. I don't even read the articles because her attempt at looking 'sexy' puts me off.

    And Amanda Brunker, wtf is the story with her wearing mad red lipstick in most photos?

    I know this is trivial but it's really getting on my nerves. I could stop buying the paper but then I'd have to find something else to rant about on a Sunday morning.

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    Only if it's served at room temperature & on bone china.


    It does kinda look like I'm jealous doesn't it?
    Except I'm not. I just find it a little bit insulting that they get a female journalist to tart herself up to make an article more appealing. She could be a really nice person but those photos just don't give her any credibility at all.

    I thought it was a bitchy comment about me being a butch lesbian or something :confused:

    I don't know what a man card is, nor do I know what a tracker mortgage is.

    lets behonest - women lack a thing called 'wit' so this is how they compensate!

    It is not called the Sunday Worst for nothing.

    Met that geraldine woman at a mazda day at mondello park. She came across as being pretty much crazy but is a nice enough woman.

    It is one of the tabloids I sometimes get on a Sunday with the others(usually take 3), but yes she is annoying - no subject matter, just pictures of her beside men. Nice figure, odd face.. How old is she? Didn't get it today, got the NOTW because of the headline saying they confronted one of the Ryan's. Very revealing stuff :(

    As for the other one in the SW, we shouldn't say much because Degsy might still hold a torch for her...

    You see this is what I mean she's probably a nice person but is there a need for her to pose like that?

    What revealing stuff did they uncover?

    And Degsy holds a torch for Amanda or wants to put a torch to her?

    Zero, they'd find out more buying a few rounds in the Players.

    I'm not sure, might be affairs of the heart, I don't get involved in those.. :)

    I dont mind her at all, whats wrong with showing a bit of flesh now and again? She has some body on her.

    She has some body to be fair. I can't think of the photographers name but he came over to photograph hundreds of people naked & there was a photo of her in the SW running along a beach amoungst other naked people. She looked really well.

    But for her as a journalist do you not think it's a bit tacky?

    Word is she wants to cast as the Joker in the new Batman movie.

    Paper is a piece of sh*t though, loved todays pictures of a reporter provoking a rapist in order to get a reaction so they could paste it all over the inside.

    You made it.

    Well done ;)

    Amazing how she draws a wage, actually it's amazing how that "paper" sells as many copies as it does. Giving untalented wasters like her and Brunker a public profile.

    I cant stand Amanda Brunker but i like Geraldine Comisky, she would get it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,730 ✭✭✭✭mickdw


    She really has to pile on the makeup though, very bad skin or something up close.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭STIG83


    Geraldine was riding a bull on this weeks Sunday World.

    I remember that yeah.

    Regarding Amanda Brunker, i just don't understand how she has a column. Does anyone actually give a fúck about what she has to say?
