    Such as?

    Getting taxi's to bring him to God knows where and not paying, taking a visit from the guards to eventually get paid. Taking people's property etc etc. Abusing bar staff...

    He is well known as somebody that drink just doesn't suit. Some people make very bad drunks. McGrath is one of them.

    Watched McGrath interview with Tommy Tiernan, he seemed a very shy timid guy.... interesting. Is he not off the booze years? Maybe he is sober now so he may have changed

    The incident with taking the man's car in Ferns was in the local (now closed down) paper, The Enniscorthy Echo. With the unpaid taxi's he paid up after a visit from the guards. His p.a. rang Enniscorthy taxi companies telling them not to call out to the house for him unless she rang for him. Most wouldn't go for him anyway as he wasn't worth the earache. Anyway it's all in the past for him now hopefully it stays that way.

    I heard the story about the car before. It's a bit outlandish to suggest he buys his way out of every situation though. Thats like something you could say about Trump or someone of that ilk.
    McGrath released an autobiography about 15 years ago and he didnt exactly paint a pretty picture of himself. From what I remember theres a bit about drinking bleach to try do himself in while his kids were in the house. He admitted being a raving alcoholic cost him two marriages and a relationship with his children. The book was a big seller so it's not a secret that drinking every day made him into an arsehole. It was pretty much the theme of the book.
    I find it more sad than thinking I inexplicably cant stand the guy because of it.
    I dont know enough about addiction to be 100% sure but I would be under the opinion that its the addiction that drives the horrible behaviour.

    Could being related to Marty have been the cause of Stephen Patrick's incessant misery?

    I remember that show. He was a bossy git. Did Gordon Ramsey come on the scene before or after the show?

    Kathryn Thomas annoys me. In every programme she ever does.

    Plus she’s one of these like Vogue Williams and is the only one to ever have a baby - and makes it a career move.

    I know her personally for a good while and shes sound in person, i.e. quite genuine all of the time. But yes, she has turned herself and her family into something of a brand, I'm no fan of that myself.

    That’s always interesting that to see that the person is different from the persona, thank you.

    You might not be a fan of his style, or indeed his ubiquity during the pandemic but he's no spoofer.

    He set up a joint venture startup in Trinity with lads in the University of Queensland developing a whole new suite of drug therapies for inflammatory conditions and they sold the thing lock, stock and barrel to Roche Pharma last year for 400 million quid.

    Not the outcome of any spoofing I think you'd agree.
