Need Jonjo the Miser to do a running commentary to make watching the Rose of Tralee someway bearable.

Careful. The girls could get offended.

Sorry they have all lovely bottoms.

It's a load of crap, they are not representative of the average Irish country women.

Not a wellington boot or apron to be seen when they are on stage, not even from the Offaly Rose.

I can promise you Kerry is not a struggling part of the country. If you mean Tralee specifically, then if Kerry County Council put some of the massive investment they put into Killarney into Tralee instead, then it would be a lot more appealing place to be.

I doubt God Himself could make Tralee a more appealing place to be.

Hopefully some scandal will erupt after it such as the winner having done a sex tape or she will come out as a lesbian.
Anything to take the in your face innocence out of it.

Sky should do us a favour and make it pay per view.

It's a tourist gimmick created over 50 years ago by publicans to bring more punters into the bars.
It worked, it's still working & will probably continue to work for another 50+ years.

The Yanks lap up this kitsch every single year, it's worth far too much to the local economy to drop it now.
Let's face it, Tralee is a complete sh*tehole and needs every boost it can get.

To be fair now the Laois Rose is an active Macra na Feirme member!!

Words I think of when I hear 'Rose of Tralee' this time everyyear:

Tent (wind & rain)
Kerry
Washed up/dated TV/Radio presenter
GAA Girl
Teacher
Off for the summer on a big wage
Annoyingly perfect
Annoying american accents
wont give the escort a shift
Gardaí
Outdated Waterford crystal
fat bald man presenting the prize from a big company in Dublin
back to school soon

is mise spartacus

"And please welcome your host of this years Cringefest, Mr. Cringe."
This is painful

already talk of GAA and their excellent perfect careers.

always feel really sorry for the escorts. They only do it in hope of gettin the ride, and you can imagine all the Roses are in 10 year relationships with GAA Stars/Engineers.

It didn't take long for Caladonia to come on !!!

which one I might watch the Sea Wolves, with Niven, Moore (actually playing Ian Fleming's James Bond in all but name, its him being fathful to the original books, it's him being Craig or Dalton - I can't reveal any more as he does something very un-Roger Moore) and Peck, and Patrick "Seed" Macnee, Trevor Howard, and a bunch of "I know their face" British character actors.

Daithi, it's not a dress, it's a skirt.
Isn't it a known fact the local deciders often get someone with little connection to the place they're representing?
Caledonia, I thought this was Dolores Keane...

They have to use Skippy, because last year they used to have "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport", and because Rolfaroo's in HMP Slade...
Insert "I wouldn't mind having a look on her bush kangaroo" joke (stolen from Viz comic c.1989). I won't though.

Missus has this on. Who the fook is the spastic presenting?

ah, the dreary poetess section...

Does anyone else remember the bint who recited her poem to the Hovis bread ad music by Dvorak?

What's the Laois theme?

Ah Krust, the generic gaeilgoer section...

the Laois rose's dad looks a wannabe Vegas crooner.
