    Mary Byrne obviously only knows one song. Two at max.

    I like Mary Byrne, I think she is very genuine.

    Seeing the thread title reminds me

    It's been missed :(

    I quite like her too, I just thing her repertoire is very limited.

    'Houseperson' might be the most PC option!

    On mature recollection, I think "Homemaker of the Year" is a better title :D

    I'm getting a very Ron Burgandy vibe of him while he's giving this speech alright...

    I'm delighted that Pieta House has won an award, it is appropriate that they win on "World Suicide Prevention Day". It is a very worthy charity.

    Nice to see the Ireland Cricket team get some recognition.

    Kevin O'Brien's Innings against England was a thing of destructive beauty, like watching a metor smash into a planet.

    I've met Pakie Bonner a couple times and he is a very down to earth guy. He still makes me go weak at the knees :o

    Well he, wouldn't quite have that effect on me :) but he is a Class act.

    President Bonner has a nice ring to it!
