Do you know who you never hear about anymore ?

Shiraz 4.99 · 10-10-2014 8:10am #1

Garth Brooks, remember him

There was a time there during the summer that you'd think he owned the country.
Every news report was about him, our national pride was at stake, we were baying for the blood of the county manager & the residents.

Now . . . . not a peep . . . life has moved on . . . we really are a fickle bunch
We'll be watching Reeling in the Years 20 years from now cringing through our fingers.

He's just in a low place right now.

cloud493 · 10-10-2014 8:16am

Trent. Haven't heard from him in years.

He quit his job and went travelling the world.
He hopes to find himself...

jamesbere · 10-10-2014 8:51am

You know who you don't hear much about, is Jesus, I wonder what's he up to.

Mrs Garth Brooks · 10-10-2014 8:51am

The best thing to happen all year were those concerts.

Then they ****ed him out of the country.

Only to be faced with water bills and crap and another cold depressing winter. Followed by sweet **** all next summer.

you rarely hear of Ike Turner these days.

anncoates · 10-10-2014 9:09am

Funny, I thought Ireland was supposedly destined to languish in a perpetual wilderness of international sanctions if the vested corporate and GAA interests weren't allowed to bully the local authority into getting their own way.

Not a whisper about the ice bucket challenge for weeks.

Emperor Justinian ruler of the Byzantine Empire, those lads were all over the place before, couldn't miss them

Knasher · 10-10-2014 11:52am

I read recently that the Gardai are conducting a pretty big investigation into the complaints against those concerts. Apparently so far they have interviewed 200 people over it. You'd think they had nothing better to be doing.

I think it's good that they're doing it, it is a fairly big deal if people were fraudulently making complaints in other people's names.

Call me a bitter old pessimist, but I reckon there are probably worse villains out there they could be concentrating on.

You can say that about anything though.

"Aren't there murders out there the Gardai could be investigating instead of going after poor Johnny who only robbed a few cars?"

Yeah they have even stopped saying that X factor line "This isn't the end of <insert heartbroken act> etc etc". They know their goose is cooked and they have to return to that crappy job they kept giving out about...
