    Just wondering if that guy every got any appearance money for slipping on that ice. Did the feckin cameraman just laugh his ass off, pack his bags and head back to montrose?.. I get the creepy feeling that he was set up considering there was a stationary camera waiting for someone to fall to get their shot? I'm sure there's a law against that...

    A spokeswoman for RTE stated that they checked after the incident if the man was alright and while they did not get the unlucky pedestrian's details they would be delighted if he got in touch to discuss his new-found fame.
