    Why is a person with 189 convictions roaming our streets let alone being on a gameshow ?

    Hopefully Marty will have a chat with the lad and try and set him on the right path on how to be model citizen.

    I have to say I've never heard of anyone being found not guilty of assault due to reason of insanity. Murder certainly, but assault never.

    Besides, I thought if you were held in a secure hospital having been found guilty but insane you were to be held until you were, well, sane again. 2012 is a pretty fast turnaround.

    Does the show go out fully live or is it pre recorded?

    I think it used to be live until one night there was an incident involving an elderly lady who was a contestant on the show.

    When she was asked whether she wanted to 'stay on the board' or 'shoot for the stars', she couldn't decide and started into...'enie meanie miney mo, catch the n***er by the toe' live on air.

    Some of the audience wouldn't be fully live , more preserved if anything.

    So they are saying they hope he will donate his winnings to a victims charity.

    Me fckin arse he will. More chance of him donating his winnings to build a bigger prison.


  • Registered Users Posts: 540 ✭✭✭GreatDefector

    Didnt he have trials for liverpool?....

    No, I said he was on trial in liverpool

    I only typed the letters e d w into google and it auto filled as Edward Hutch. Seems to be quite a bit of national interest, RTE will be bringing on a gangsters relative to be a special guest every week if it goes like this every time.

    What the fcuk did I just read..

    Nephew criminal of former gangster to appear on TV game show just months after being found not guilty, by reason of insanity, of assaulting a prison officer while serving time inside, as he was of the belief that his gangster uncle had put a sex change into him, with the help of bribed screws, via methadone, after he began to feel that his genitals were shrinking and that he was growing breasts. Fellow contestant 'Sexy Natasha' says she doesn't mind and just wants to win some money.

    The world has gone fcuking mad.

    Lol, think I will definitely tune in now.

    :D

    I read it recently, it is supposed to be true afaik.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,294 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Does he know he doesn't have burn the gateaway car out and wear a bally yeah?

    Doesn't he have a 10 year driving ban anyway.

    :D

    Will probably take the option to nominate someone to play for him, or be adviced to do so.

    Uncle Gerry has a Limo hire business so he can drive him......Oh hang on isn't he living in fear of his uncle!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭NachoBusiness


    Uncle Gerry has a Limo hire business so he can drive him......

    Aye, Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) chased him to try and claim back any money he may have made from crime and eventually recovered almost €2m. Hutch then claimed he was broke and they had cleaned him dry but yet, as you say, went on to start a Limo Hire business. And the name of that Limo Hire Business: Carry Any Body Limos.

    Purely coincidental of course :)

    Program will probably be the subject of a TV3 crime documentary soon afterwards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    Marty will be keeping the letter opener in his pocket at all times during the show...

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭kupus


    I wonder where he bought his winning ticket. I'd love to buy one in that shop.

    Cab will have a s4itfit if he wins half a million.

    However, Miss Donegal will be joined by at least 24 family and friends for the show.

    Gorgeous Natasha, from Newtowncunningham, Co Donegal, said her boyfriend Chris Coyle put off a stag party trip to Spain to be at the show with her. She said: “I told him not to be silly and go to the stag party but he insisted on coming along to the show.

    “I’ll have to get him something special out of my winnings now.

    He knew exactly what he was doing then :pac:
