    Different show-that was 'The Farm', no relation to the RTE show 'Celebrity Farm'.

    'Celebrity Farm' was famous for being the most painful things RTE has ever produced.

    'The Farm' is most famous for Rebecca Loos masturbating a pig.
    Well, C5 is rebooting "The Farm".

    What's her face was on that-Jennifer McGuire.

    Apparently, when she got kicked out, someone in the audience said something along the lines of 'I'll be glad to see that c**t gone'..or similar.

    She was crying at her eviction, but not because of her eviction-she heard the comment.

    The hosts of the RTE programme Mono. A lady of Indian extraction, she pretty much disappeared after. Other host was a Nigerian guy who went on to sue Roddy Doyle over a play they'd collaborated on.

    I remember the Indian lady also hosted on The Health Squad with Sheana Keane, and used to pop up on The Works with John Kelly.

    I didn't know about the guy co-writing that Roddy Doyle play. Was that 'Guess who's coming for the Dinner?'

    I googled Shalini Sinha, she's a life coach now.

    For sure it is him; I would recognise his insufferable patronising schtick anywhere.

    It was a modern day adaptation of Playboy Of The Western World, Bisi Adigun is the former Mono host who sued Roddy Doyle, that legal case was dragging on for a number of years.

    Who was that bearded Irish speaking guy who used to do some kind of Irish language youth show in the 80's. Think he used to wear hawaian type shirts. Not Sean Ban whatshisface or Angus Mcanally.

    Pocketed 600 grand out of that case-wow, wonder if this is why Roddy Doyle lost popularity?

    Hi, my name's Rabblerouser, and I'm an idiot... (I'm also a comic book fan, and especially DC and Marvel,but the latter is producing some terrible comics right now). I was discussing stuff with a friend on facebook messenger, and sent him that link-thought I'd cleared my clipboard, but obviously, I hadn't.

    This was the link I was meant to post.

    Yes, I believe Roddy Doyle's ill-advised foray into squirrel comics didn't do anything for his popularity, alright...

    Anyone remember "darling" of Barry Egan & The Sunday Independent set, the rugby-player-only-dating



    lady who'd turn up to the opening of an envelope, perma-pout "Dr." (she was technically a dentist) Danielle Meagher, who dubbed herself Dr. Botox and landed a spot on TV3 car crash show "Dublin Housewives" and later Celebrity Big Brother in the UK (when the head of TV3 moved to Channel 5). She even changed her surname to Marr for CBB to help her new fans in the UK with the pronunciation of her name - I'm sure they're all still talking about her. :rolleyes:

    Geri May seems to be on that Winning Streak show anytime I have the misfortune to land on it whilst channel surfing.

    Roddy Doyle has a weekly feature in the magazine in the Saturday Independent. Kinda written from the perspective of the Da in one of his novels. I try to read it occasionally but it's a bit too stream of consciousness for me.

    "To follow knowledge like a sinking star..." (Tennyson's Ulysses)

    Wow! A taxpayer funded production at a taxpayer funded festival that then went to a taxpayer funded theatre.
    They all fall out and essentially the taxpayer is left to offer a settlement and pay the legal costs for both sides.
    Only in Ireland:mad:

    Money for old rope-he had a facebook page where he did the same thing. Even his 'obits and tributes' were stream of conscious, like two guys in a pub. Dreadful.

    I think he knows he's a relic of the 90s.

    Hasn't been on Winning Streak for years-got 'salty' / 'b!tchy'/ 'jealous' or something of a cute girl from the gaeltacht...and was subsequently fired.

    She must have been getting presenting tips from Blathnaid ni Caffeine.
    They should have given her job to Caitlín, she seemed lovely (and very photogenic).

    Sinead Kennedy isn't bad on the eye-certainly goods good in leather pants or the short dress she wore on the xmas show...

    Yeah, Caitlin was some stunner...so it obviously triggered Geri.

    Geri is the woman more famous for getting dumped by Ray D'arcy, a fella wot used to be on The Apprentice, and finally marrying Peter Collins-but not the sports fellow, rather another Peter.

    I'd be shocked if it was years since I saw it but she wasn't the main presenter - it was the segment where they play "Where the lotto money is going" and show some GAA club down the country getting floodlights or some shoyte like that.


    It's IMPOSSIBLE to get fired from RTE btw. :D Any evidence of this? I'm genuinely interested!

    Yeah Caitlín was not your average Winning Streak contestant!
