    Good way or figuring out who doesn't know the meaning of 'inexplicably'.

    Think it is more interesting than just saying "I love Gay Byrne but I have no idea what it is about him that makes me feel that way".

    Gladly, most people obviously feel that it is the context which is interesting in the discussion rather than applying the OP question literally which would result in just a list of names.

    Why would it just be a list of names? You can expand on why you shouldn't or maybe even speculate as to why you do.

    Someone gave Roy Keane as an example. He's a bollócks and I shouldn't like him because.... but I do.

    Larry David...i laugh at him but he's actually rather obnoxious. Yet for some reason I like him. Not sure if it's cos I see some of myself in him (I hope not).

    I dunno...id just find that more interesting than X because he's sound or Y because he/she is gorgeous.

    David McCullagh on Prime Time - oh my!

    Seems like a cranky-head but that's because of the shyte talk he has to listen to from panellists, and I love that he can't conceal his contempt.

    An intelligent man - and a silver fox!

    I don’t get the intelligence myself

    My OH hung out with him when they were little kids back in the 70s. Said he was a lovely kid. McCullagh looks well for his mid 50s.

    Sigourey Weaver. Fell in love with her after I saw Aliens as a kid.

    Also actresses Uma Thurman, Keely Hawes, Julianne Moore, Aisling O’Sullivan and Cate Blanchett. I have a real crush on actresses who come across as beautiful, intelligent and tough. :o

    She strikes me as an absolute @rsehole. And I'm just going from what little I heard when she used to cover on Phantom/TXFM.

    I think of him of a nice old grandfather figure eating a bag of jellybeans, dropping some and as he picks up the jellybeans that fell bumping his arse of the big red button that launches America's nuclear missile arsenals.

    Nigella Lawson. She’s über-privileged and a bit aloof but I find her fascinating. She has a lovely way with words. And when she picked an Eminem track as one of her desert island discs, I liked her even more despite not even being an Eminem fan myself.

    Timothy Olyphant. Okay, he’s actually good-looking but that’s not what I like. He is HILARIOUS. Check out his interviews on Conan.

    Bill Burr - I actually thought he looked great in Breaking Bad plus he brings the funny.

    No pressure, Tom.

    Ah, he’s a Blandy McGoo anyway, who cares? :pac:

    All dead now but I've been watching old YouTube clips and interview's the past couple of nights from Richard Harris, Lee Marvin, Oliver Reed, Richard Burton the old Hollywood Hellraiser's of past and forgot how witty and sharped tongued they all were compared to what we get nowadays.

    Poor Terry cant seem to keep up with Lee Marvin's wit and sarcasm here :D.

    I was watching a Robert Mitchum documentary yesterday, with the very same thing - clips of him on Parkinson and absolutely hilarious!

    Check out David Hyde Pierce in interviews. SO intelligent and witty.

    Bill O'Herlihy

    People give out about RTE heads (and often rightly so), but even though I never met the man, I can't ever imagine a bad word being said about Bill.

    Sad that he died just a year after retiring and didn't get to enjoy even one major tournament from the comfort of home with his grandkids.

    RIP Bill
