The People of the Year Awards - 2013

Lady Chatterton

Young Joe Pendergast is a truly inspiration child to have written two books at ten years of age, his mother is blessed to have a son like him.

Is this live ?

I doubt it, Aoibhinn looks stunning.

Lady Chatterton

It's nice to see ordinary, everyday people being recognised for their bravery or generosity.

Lady Chatterton

Gráinne looks like she has just stepped off the set of Downton Abbey.

I hate awards ceremonies but I agree that people like this should get national recognition.

Unlike 3 years ago when I last saw some of this event.
Gerry Ryan (who had died 6 months earlier) received an award.

The evening seemed to consist of RTÉ "stars" competiting with each other to tell us how they and us missed him and loved him.

While I'm sure many do, I failed to see at the time what he had done to be awarded with a person of the year accolade.

Still do. Left a bad taste in my mouth that.



Oh Christ there's Joe Duffy. They must have pre-recorded that clip on one of his rare visits to Ireland in recent months !

JonathanAnon

I've always said this, but his daughter Fiona is absolutely gorgeous.

JONJO THE MISER

Look at the bolix who is on now.

Lapin

Just you and me tonight MrsD007.

Staying in on a Saturday saving our pennies for Croke Park II.


EDIT: Spoke too soon.

Looks like the cat has dragged the Kildare fecker and the Miser in

FYP.

Tom Arnold gets an award, and John O'Shea gets a court case.. how is that fair..

Thought that music performance was very odd.. I guess it always is when you have people fake backing singing and fake playing instruments.. Kind of reminded me of Nirvana on TOTP.

Admiring the beautiful and wonderfully talented Grainne Seoige.

That was the first year the Sam Maguire Cup was presented and they haven't seen it since.

Except in 1998 when they stood on the field to watch our lot lift it. :P

No I'm
Going to sleep and wake at 4

Lady Chatterton

I can never understand how Fiona's mother stood by her husband (especially after he was found guilty) :mad:

I really like Paul O'Connell, he is handsome and very down to earth.

JonathanAnon

I really cant stomach this man any more.

Why was she sitting beside Damien from Fair City?

Lady Chatterton

Joe is dressed like a circus ring master.

efb

He's a bit too 'hulk' for me

amdublin

Are the statues left over from the IFTA's

JONJO THE MISER

Joe is after putting on a few pounds.

Lapin

Her kids deserve awards of their own.

le la rat

Fair play to her but that's an awful dress

amdublin

V well deserved award for Ms Doyle.

Love the mad men/pan am vibe dress and earrings she has going on.

It's a beautiful colour but the cut is not very flattering.

I like it in a weird way! See my earlier post.

Don't like grainne seoiges visible black bra on her back

Lapin

Is Joe rehersing for another slot as a medium with Mrs Brown backstage ?

The state of that bow tie and waistcoat.

I was gonna say quiz show presenter, but ring master will suffice.

Lapin

Her dress came from last years Miriam Quality Street collection.

So it seems they've used 3 of the ifta's to make one of these - shrunk 2 of them down and stuck them to a regular one.

Hmmm :rolleyes:

I wouldn't have a clue about fashion tbh but it just doesn't look right to me. She looks happy though and that's the main thing

You're right amdub, these are IFTAs but they look very like the people of the year statues.

dcmm

Ah! Leave Joe alone, he's ok, am looking forward to his return to liveline. I thought Adrian O'Connors' wife was very dignified,also Micheal O M, a richly deserved award.Some really great people in our midst.Had to turn off the singer, cringe....Oh!, hears Donal Walsh's story.R.IP.

mfceiling

Tubridy would thrive on the sadness tonight...

Lapin

One of those lads (white shirt) looks scarily like a young version of Eamonn Gilmore.

amdublin

That's one he'll of a shiny tux and shiny bow tie on Benny

Lady Chatterton

Brendan is fading away :eek: He has lost a serious amount of weight.

prettygurrly

was just about to say the same thing...he looks great but hopefully nothing sinister is making him lose weight

Welsh Megaman

Brendan getting thinner!
