    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?

    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

    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!

    A) Celia H lee is a wagon
    B) is she a celebrity? Really?


    Is Nadia a celebrity ? Is she ****.

    Rosanna is only a celebrity cos of her dad. Only for she got her bangers out she would have faded to obscurity with her half with husband/fiancee.

    I heard Celia Holman Lee wasn't a pleasant individual all right but I ended up talking to her by chance once and she seemed very nice. Although I know one swallow doesn't make a summer.

    Ryan Tubridy, Ray D'arcy, and David O'Doherty were all really nice to chat to. Despite Tubridy and D'arcy regularly being touted as pompous arsebags, I found them really pleasant. Tubridy especially is a bleedin' saint as he met my bf's mother outside of Vincents Hospital and she bent his ear for a good 10 minutes about the smoking regulations and other inane waffle.
