    Our Brian gets around doesn't he? I didn't think he was that much into tennis. Close by was some royal or other. Hmm ...

    FFS, you'd swear he was playing or something.

    All part of a carefully constructed plan to boost his profile in the UK I suspect. Though most Irish people would recognise him I'd imagine very few outside rugby circles across the water would have a clue who he is.

    Possibly a freebie or an arranged trip from one of his many sponsors.

    Or he could just really like tennis.

    He's been a few times in previous years, fair play if he enjoys it

    Sports personality enjoys watching a different sport than the one he played

    Who'da thunk it?

    Nearly sure he's been there before and if he can afford it, to get in the fancy box, why not.

    Yeah I agree with that.
    Most sports commentators would be able to point him out to the viewers. He may indeed like tennis, who knows. I don't know if he has a manager type person advising him on engagements but a shrewd move indeed.

    Bob Geldof, Wogan (I think) became OBEs or Sirs or whatever so I would imagine if he keeps doing his bit he may well be next in line. Nothing to stop him accepting a knighthood and best of luck to him.

    Yeah I think that's a fair point.

    Think it was proven she places her name on it while someone else/a no name author writes it

    This actually made news in the indo.

    This used to be a quality paper but has now become a rag that is also obsessed with Amy Huberman.

    They are trying to make this couple out to be the darlings of Ireland,, like a royal family that everyone in Ireland is obsessed with when the truth is that nobody gives a sh1te.


    Apologies in advance for posting this link

    Lots of people enjoy watching tennis. What's the big deal? I'd love to go to Wimbledon. My friend and I toyed with getting in the cancellation line one year but as it's London and as hot as the devil's armpit in summertime, we just couldn't hack it.

    Yeah. He was a great I have to say. Does a lot with BT sports. I would almost say he is based in the UK at this stage but of that I am not sure. She is about as average an actress as they come. I never knew he frequented Wimbeldon at all. Still, keeping himself in the British spotlight is no bad thing for his future prospects in the media.

    Oh catch yourself on OP. Someone known to the public goes to watch the tennis. Big deal. David Beckham was there yesterday. The TV will show known names in the crowd. It's hardly earth shattering, career building, or attention seeking. They just went to watch the tennis.

    No,he is not based in the UK and is on Newstalk regularly.

    Search the indo and you can read all about their travails in buying a house in Dublin and getting planning permission for an extension.
