Good Jesus. I think she exerts a gravitational pull - I noticed objects in orbit around her.

YAY! Someone else hates Roisin Ingle?!? Thank Christ, what the hell are her columns even about? Where are they going? Ahhhhh, god I despise her. How the hell did she end up in the Times, of all places?

I once read her column and she was on about her mother who apparently is some higher-up big wig in the Irish Times.

<bitter rant> That fictitious blog is brilliant. I thought that I was the only person who was deeply enraged by Roisin's pointless "observations" which are forced on Irish Times readers every Saturday!

It is great to see some of these pompous hacks who like to glamorise their boring, middle-class, bourgeoise lifestyles being taken down a peg or two. Whilst I am delighted that Roisin managed to snare herself a BOYFRIEND and an EX-HUSBAND (who apparantly urgently required a visa for an EU country) I feel quite sure that the nation does not need to be privy to this information. </bitter rant>

Roisin, sure she's a grand girl really

Slightly off-topic, anyone else glad they changed the columnist for the 'People We All Know...' piece that appears on the same page as the what's hot and what's not bit in the IT Weekender magazine? Some posh cow was writing it for ages, I always thought they needed to re-titled the column 'People We All Know...If We Live in D4, Have A Husband Who Is A Banker, And Do Very Little With Our Lives' - half of the columns were about 'The Filipino Maid', 'The Personal Trainer', and the tragedy of going without these people's services for a day or two! That column used to make me shake with anger, the author always came across as so put-upon, as if living a life of unbelievable luxury paid for by someone else was such a struggle! Must stop now before I go into mega-rant mode

IonaPaul, you took the words out of my mouth in relation to the "People we all know" column. People we all know indeed It's far from nannies and personal trainers that most of us here in Ireland were brought up.

I find it quite incredible that the Irish Times, the self-proclaimed "paper of record" provides a forum for these people to voice their ridiculous ideas and opinions. I accept that the Times attempts to appeal to the affluent demographic but surely they must realise that the average reader is a student / young professional / middle-income earner who does not have the disposable income to host olive and feta cheese dinner parties or to complain about the inadequacies of the landscape gardener.

I was at home down the country recently and noticed an elderly man in the shop buying the Times on Saturday morning. The magazine was missing and the teenage girl working at the counter asked if he wanted a replacement. His succinct answer was; "sure why would I want to reading that ****e". The perfect critique of this and all other lifestyle magazines !

I think the words you are missing are 'satirical alter-ego'

It's kinda funny, but also kinda mean, she's just a fat girl, trying to get by any way she can.

Well said all - Ireland is full of that crap, the 'budget' clothes from BT's in on off the rails, the 'budget' holidays in wish you were here - there's bugger all budget about them in my eyes.

And well said on the Roisin Ingle thing, her and that yoga teaching brother of hers need to be tied up and shot with balls of their own s***e! It must be a name thing, the only other ingles I know are in the Waltons......'nuff said!

I think it's very sporting and forward thinking of the Times to give a column to a manatee. Equal opportunities for sea beasts and all that.

Full marks for use of 'manatee' and the decidedly pirate-tinged 'sea beasts'. I salute you.

I had stopped buying the Irish Times on Saturdays in recent weeks but this thread has definitely inspired me to buy it tomorrow ! I can't wait to read Bungle's piece of SERIOUS LITERARY FICTION knowing that you lads will be also reviewing her "work"

Keep them coming! There's an extra bonus in that reading Róisín I.'s real column will be far funnier as well from now on.

Hey - I wonder if she'll find the spoof blog and mention it in in the IT? It is a form of flattery in a strange way!

The real deal's column this week in the Weekender was particularly awful. It's probably because I am a soul-less lover of the rational and scientific, but just hearing or reading the word 'spiritual' makes me dry-retch with disgust. Give me Richard Dawkins' slagging off religion any day...

I agree, but I'll have to keep it up until the real Roisin Bungle reads/acknowledges it in her column.
