    What do you think? Watched his show tonight and refering to the British Army he said "our boys" and again talking about British people and sex he said "we". My mam doesn't like him and says he's ashamed to be Irish and says the same about Barry McGuigan!

    Well his audience is english so it makes more sense to say "our" rather than "your". no?:confused:

    although Gillian Anderson looked fairly fine the other night, but she isn't Graham Norton

    Afaik, graham norton moved to britain because when he came out, the irish people made him feel ashamed to be irish. i think i read that somewhere.

    Who cares?

    Should he walk around wearing a green suit with shamrocks on instead?

    He was shunned by Irish culture when he was on the club scene, so we more or less abandoned him. GOOD!

    Who cares? Lets just hope he dies soon and then someone else can use HIM as material in their tasteless monologue.

    No, not really any way, you may be thinking about it more then he does.

    I have seen him on his show talking about being "an Irish man" or "being from Ireland" or Cork (is it?) every so often.

    Shocker Mike.

    Best troll evar!

    [Graham Norton: Ashamed to be Irish?]: Who cares? Not me. So long as the man dishes out the prole feed and the slave like supplicants keep the machine of capitalism oiled, with their blood.... I'm sweet.

    Viva la Revolution.

    I honestly can't stand him. I thought he was mildly funny when his show first came out, but the longer its gone on the worse it gets. The worst thing about it, is that its on all the bloody time. Either E4 or C4 seem to have it on at least once a night! Arrggghh ...
