    AMANDA BRUNKER, Aidan Power, Ryan Tubridy and Lorraine Keane are among the 'cultural icons' being wheeled out to meet Queen Elizabeth.

    And as if that weren't enough to get 'one's' heart racing, Westlife and the X Factor's Mary Byrne will provide the entertainment.

    As the final guest list for her Irish visit is certain to raise eyebrows among the high brows, a number of A-listers are being brought
    for a gala evening at the National Conference Centre hosted by Gay Byrne.

    Is this a good or bad thing
    Will he ask the obvious? Do you tweet?,what book are you reading?
    Will it spawn another book?

    It just shows that we really don't have anyone properly worthy of meeting the queen so we're having to resort to bringing out the B and C listers

    I could be wrong but I think the last visit by a reigning British monarch was in 1911. After meeting that lot I'd say the next visit won't be until 2111 at earliest and who could blame them? :pac:

    Are you embarrassed because we don't seem to have as many publicity seeking, prima donna media whores as other countries (although I wonder sometimes) ?

    Or is it just the few we do have that embarrass you ?

    Hopefully she'll look at the list and decide not to bother coming.

    Tubs: "So Liz, do you've any Irish roots?"

    His "researcher" told Ryan that the Queen had an "annus horribilis" a decade or so ago. This is prime DLB territory.

    "You have recovered from a serious illness", he'll no doubt say, "a sore arse, can you share the misery with us?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,683 ✭✭✭DeepBlue


    Just saw a clip of Ryan's tour guide gig with Queenie.
    Ryan was rabbiting on at a mile a minute while the two tourists had a befuddled look on their face that translated as "Who is this annoying man and what on earth is he on about?". :pac:

    That lot? Cultural icons? Sweet Jebus!!! It could only get worse if Fiona Looney was in there.

    Amanda Brunker?

    So being a (poor) Ms Ireland and spouting shíte in a Sunday rag allows you to meet the queen all of a sudden?

    Queen: "And what do you do then?"

    Amanda: "Well in a lot of ways I'm a Queen too! The Queen of Gossip!!"

    Queen: "..."

    Amanda: "Eh, do you need a couch? I could do you a deal..."

    Queen: "..."

    If there's a serious security breach and a sniper takes aim at HRH I hope Ryan is gentleman enough to place himself between herself and the bullet.

    Tubridy: Does one tweet?

    HRH: No, one does not tweet, though one is currently talking to a twit.

    He acted like a nervous schoolboy full of sugar, the Queen and Prince Philip didn't seem to want to listen to him at all!

    Two more additions then to the thousands he has haemorrhaged from Gerry Ryan's show.

    Surely, that logically makes him an A-lister though? If Tubridy's the best we got, then that makes him on the Irish A-list.

    Someone should have properly briefed the barman in the Guinness Store, it was very embarrrassing.

    Firstly, the Queen is not allowed to be photographed /filmed when she is eating or drinking.

    Secondly, My granny is 85 too and most women of that vintage think it is unlady like to drink from a pint glass.

    Yeah Jimmy, I found that hilarious. Did you hear him slagging off the Queen during a TV3 news interview? He basically said that all he got out of her was one word - "Splendid". The poor woman obviously found him as boring and irriating as we do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,585 ✭✭✭✭Lady Chatterton


    Did anyone see Nickey Brennan manhandling the Queen? he needed to be reminded by security to let her go :D

    I think he was annoyed as he was expecting her to knight him on the spot for his services to broadcasting.

    "Really, every Friday night I have to put up with these boring idiots telling me about their latest movie or terminal illness and I have to try to pretend to be interested!! And then I get the ungrateful riff raff on boards.ie making fun of me because they're jealous!"

    SPLENDID in her language that means STFU

    I'm no Guinness expert but I do enjoy the occasional glass with a plate of mussels, yum yum. I wasn't that impressed with the appearance of the pint in the Guinness Store, didn't appear to have much of a head on it.
