Anybody hear Brendan on Marian Finucane's radio show this morning?

He spoke very passionately about his daughter (diagnosed with Down's Symdrome), and the lack of services being provided for her.

Definitely recommend listening back.

NO SLING!

Ol' Donie

Woah, quiet round here.

(Maybe cos we've heard Ruby fifteen thousand times before)

Joking aside, O' Connor seems to be doing quite well with his weight. He's been in pretty good shape for quite a while now.

Really looking forward to the Chicory Tip Incest Cup.

Sure isn't everyone watching Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter?

Greetings y'all.

I have nothing exciting to add about this interview... oh except that I hate shirts that have a white collar and cuffs and another main colour. Bleugh.

Aw, cute kids.

Yeah, that shirt collar business grinds my gears way more than any fashion nonsense usually would.

Good Evening All

I love Ruby, he's so honest and plain speaking, it's really refreshing.

I'm just after listening to the podcast, it's a fine interview. Brendan has done so much to highlight the challenges faced by children with special needs and their parents.

Harry Angstrom

Evening all. Brendan doesn't look the same without the sling. I kinda miss it.

I didn't like Ruby in that interview. Came across flippant and bored. Not a lot of respect for AP.

Un Croissant

My mammy is mental, right......

I have to disagree, he said that AP was one of the most consistently great sportspeople of the last 20 years.

Meangadh

That is one very Irish beard.

Pinch Flat

Hipster look going on there

Harry Angstrom

What is it with beards these days?

Lady Chatterton

I like Colm and his mammy books are so funny!

Welsh Megaman

Breaking news: the UK's Eurovision song has just been unveiled!

Sounds like this (no, seriously!)...

In fairness, he actually has the comments a Mammy would make down to a T on that twitter account.

Even my own mother reads it and laughs at the amount of them she has said herself over the years.

People can't afford razors due to the recession......I'm not joking, my friend works in a pharmacy and she told me

I was in L Mulligan the Grocers pub in Stoneybatter a while back - in fairness it is ground zero for hipsters. Only man without a beard there.

Lady Chatterton

Colm has a look of Charles Stewart Parnell about him.

Un Croissant

Whoooah, banter.

Hiya guys. Google has been down for a number of hours as youtube from here is not working.

He has extreme respect for AP, they are almost best mates! He was only joking. There is a lot of slagging and messing within the jockey circles, they spend so much times in the weigh rooms together. Ruby lived with AP for long periods of time whilst working in UK. Ruby doesn't have a personality for tv, its hard work listening to him when he is analysing for festivals when he is injured. And there is an arrogance but you can substitute that for confidence which you need when you are putting your bones on the line every day for your job!

But he definitely has great respect for AP.

Speaking of pointless photos.

Un Croissant

Ah yes, the hot press. Tell us about the immersion next... and the wooden spoon......

I think he comes across as a fairly dour character.His comments on the death of Our Conor wouldn't sit too well with me either.
A bit of an unlikeable individual both in personality and riding style.

There's a bit of Roger Casement going on as well...

This guy is great.

Those shorts look painful.

Ok I take it back. . I'll put it down to Ruby's sarcastic sense of humour, and that I just don't like him.

He's refreshingly different to most Irish crap.
Dry, insightful stuff that really resonates

Blame it all on my roots...

Meangadh

I think people tend to slag off those who do "Irish" comedy, as if there's something wrong with laughing at ourselves and our past and the way we do things as Irish people. I don't think these comedians are claiming to be doing anything groundbreaking, but I think there's a lot of fun and humour to be found in taking the piss out of our Irishness.

Fair enough, it's not Louis CK or Richard Pryor or whoever it is you might like, but there's a lot to be said for that kind of gentle humour.

Pinch Flat

Liked him. His Irish mammy stuff is great in fairness. Loved his p!ss take of the electric picnic goer from Scd - on the money

CountyHurler

I've heard Ruby Walsh a few times now, between interviews and sports panels and sports quizzes... He always strikes me as a bit arrogant, and a bit of a smart ar$e...

Not feeling this Colm O'Regan guy and his rehashed Des Bishop jokes, so I've turned on Black Sea with Jude Law.... God, he's got awful old looking...

Yeah, found him naturally funny. His humour wasnt a forced or a learnt off rant. I like when someones funny without trying too hard.

It's funny though! For the sport they call the "Sport of Kings", you never come across a "posh, really polished jockey". Its mainly due to the fact that most jockeys dedicate their lives to the sport from early teens and it involves early hours mucking out sheds, riding out etc during apprentice years and it grounds them a lot giving them very dry but sarcastic sense of humours!

Lady Chatterton

Colm does a short comedy piece/review of the week on Newstalk Breakfast every Friday morning and it's very good.

Yesterday, he was talking about goal setting in the workplace, how to ask you boss for a raise and appraisals, it was very funny.

I still definitely definitely would.

This one could be Biddy's younger sister.

...come oonnnnnnn €10,000........
