    Now that's really scraping the bottom of the "celebrity" barrel. The fecking head on that guy.He makes Brendan O Connor look like Pierce Brosnan.

    The distaste is obvious on the face of the lady on the left.

    Ann Corcoran?

    The one who may or may not have helped him forensically clean his house after Katy French died there?

    I just bet he gave himself that nickname. There's nothing remotely lupine about that ape. And what the hell is that thing to the left of him?

    OK folks, it's one thing discussing these people, whoever they are, but would you mind toning down the personal abuse, particularly with regard to their physical appearance, a bit please. Thanks.

    Yeah, she's quite attractive. In a statuesque Amazonian way.

    He actually asked to be on the show? I only heard of him through the Katy French thing. It's not like he's a celebrity in any sense of the word, I wouldn't even class him as a Z- lister.

    He only came to my light as a suspect. He's not famous. He just wanted to be.

    Yes, she's been mentioned at least three times, and I don't see anything exotic about her.

    I've often wondered is that an urban myth? I first heard it in the mid 90's but the details of what happened to him are always vague. No one knows when he died or even if he is certainly dead. I've never come across anything official online, it's always online discussions about Bosco that it comes up.

    A Hot Press article from 2007 refers to him as "the late Philip Tyler" but no mention of when/how he died

    He was a face on the party scene back in the day..i believe he was openly gay and fond of the auld pharmaceuticals,but then who wasnt in those circles.

    No idea how he died exactly but he was rumoured to be suffering from either MS or HIV,depending on who you spoke to. A pity just the same.

    I think he does a good bit of radio work nowadays. I've certainly heard him credited on the Doc on One on Radio One.

    yes unfortunately phillip did die in the late 1980s/early 1990s i think. Marian is on RTE radio 1 on saturdays with Playback. Frank Twomey occasionally turns up on Joe Duffy's Liveline "Funny Friday" as "Mary O'Rourke". As for the other, I don't really know.

    You're right about Gertie. I remember her too!:)

    Look at this "article " from the Ghastly Independent from 1999...Sycophantic,fawning,badly-written drivel.

    Rags like this were actually encouraging the rise of people with no talent to become famous for the sake of it. Sickening.

    How many million do they still owe the revenue?

    The funny thing is: That article was "written" (may have been Terry Keane-style written, being the Indo) by Gayle Killilea, another pretty serious "victim" of the Celtic Tiger!
