    So we have a list of ones that we hate. Who are the ones you wouldn't hear a bad word against, or have very rarely heard anyone dislike?

    Brendan Gleeson seems sound enough. Mary Kennedy has to be in there. Bob Geldoff seems like a grumpy oul bollix but he has done more for Africa than mostly anyone else alive.

    Any others?

    This will be a very short thread.

    FWIW though -

    Rosanna Davison and Nadia Forde, Celia Holman Lee, there's a few alright who's heads haven't disappeared up their own arse holes.

    Jimmy Cricket always seemed very uncontroversial I thought. Just looked him up and he's not dead, fair play Jimmy.

    Have you ever noticed how any Irish person described as 'genial' is invariably and cantankerous old so and so?

    Come on now, you ask Rosanna who, as if you don't know, and then you're able to give a quote from an interview she did?

    So she's a little quirkey, but you'd forgive her for that as she's quite lovely in person, she didn't step on my tongue even once :p

    Ian Dempsey was lovely the few times I met him (used to work near the Today FM studios back in the day).

    I wouldn't mind having a few pints with Bosco the puppet. He's a reputation of getting legless though.

    Actually now I think of them, a few years back I met Martin Sheen (Charlie's father, for those too young to remember him), visiting relatives in Tipperary, and Gabriel Byrne, two absolute gentlemen!
