The Gleneagle

amdublin

Anyone watching?!

HeidiHeidi

yep!

HeidiHeidi

Hmmm, not the most riveting of reality shows I've ever wasted half an hour watching.......

amdublin

It's a bit slow moving alright

HeidiHeidi

How many tons of sausages and rashers???

And those deep-fried-in-warm-oil eggs :eek:

Don't think this programme will do much for their image among my generation anyway

amdublin

Yes you'd worry for them - when then current crowd pop their clogs who will become their future market??!

I watched it and enjoyed it.

Killarney was always good for making money, fair play to the the town. The Gleneagle will reinvent the hotel as needs be - I

remember a great Rory Gallagher concert there in the mid 1980's, think it was 83 or 84.

Met Paul Brady there too. I got his autograph. Nice man.

Watching on the player-what a change from the pretentious Shelbourne version!

Oh God, just watching second half!

amdublin

I liked the shelbourne

Posy

I liked it aswell.
I certainly wouldn't be dying to stay at the Gleneagle after watching that programme though!

I thought it was hilarious. That lisdoonvarna reunion looked like great craic. That could be my generation in a few decades except we will be dancing weekends away to hard house and trance. Bring it on.

amdublin

It's like butlins!

amdublin

amdublin

Jaysis 5 mins in and it's all about the hugs and kissing.

What do you think?

HeidiHeidi

As entertaining as the programme is, it's putting me further and further off ever darkening the door of the place......

Them 3 old Shielas would be some head wrecker.

A 30 min promo for a political dynasty business. Wild horses wouldn't drag me into the kip.

Sorry, now, but I must disagree. I'm cringing here.

This thread is all that's keeping me watching!

Well it's a funny place. In fairness if you don't take yourself too seriously you

can knock a bit of craic out of the venue. I haven't stayed there because my

parents live close to Killarney. So I can't comment on the accommodation side

of things. But if you are up for a laugh it's great craic.

Someone on this thread mentioned the Lisdoonvarna crowd in Killarney. They

are the best ever. I live in Clare now and the older women come to my local

hairdresser to get their hair done for the matchmaking festival. They are

hysterical to listen to. I just to say who men to go to Lisdoon be aware!

But I love the fact that it is cringy. You couldn't make this stuff up.

It reminds me of Father Ted. Oops I just had a Dougal moment there.

Father Ted wasn't real, this is. I'll have to keep repeating this to myself.

Your woman arguing about reserved seating at a supposed non ticket event was dead right!

amdublin

I love that kind of singing

Smiles. I had a good laugh at that. As well as "wristbands and tickets".:)

It must be a nightmare to cater for the amount of people in the hotel on a given night.

Florrie O Sullivan won the dance competition. It's been years since I heard the name Florrie.
