The rose of tralee is starting tonight. I was looking at the profiles of the contestants and was surprised at how successful they all seem to be. Most if not all have been to college and have professional jobs, dont think any of them are unemployed. Also they all have been successful at sports, some have played at international level, one has travelled the world playing the clarinet as a child. They are very involved in charities and are well travelled.
this is just one example http://www.roseoftralee.ie/v5/roses/international-roses-2011/international-roses-2011/tipperary-noirin-ryan-261
It actually is good that there are such girls achieving success in their jobs and hobbies but it actually makes me feel quite crap. I cant play any instrument, am crap at sport etc etc

So these girls go through their lives being successful, getting top grades, beating down the male/female barrier, grabbing top jobs and showing the world that they can turn their hand to something and kick it's ass, compete in sports at an International level.................

....... and then they wheel themselves out to be judged like a piece of meat in a lovely girls competition. Way to go!

I hate that Daithí O Sé. We get it, you are a bogman. No need to turn it up to 11.

I especially dislike the radio advert he has about cooking fish.

I beg to differ, did you look at the South Austrila rose who can count to ten in five different languages. Impressive stuff if she wants to become some kind of international businesswoman whose prices range from 1 to 10.

Tipp rose has a fantastic voice. Her brother is a pro singer. Very pleasant, she works at a deli in Tipperary. Read in a local paper that she has a job from September onwards.
