It's IMPOSSIBLE to get fired from RTE btw. Any evidence of this? I'm genuinely interested! Yeah Caitlín was not your average Winning Streak contestant!

She even changed her surname to Marr for CBB to help her new fans in the UK with the pronunciation of her name - I'm sure they're all still talking about her. :rolleyes:

Or that RTE producer who turned out to be a paedo. Or look at all the RTE Den presenters...many of those were fired because they 'didn't have the right look'.

I'd say some people think I'm not normal, some would say you're not normal.... does that matter? Other people's negative opinions say more about the individual than the person they scorn

I always respected him-but after that, my respect grew even more so. He's had some awful moments happen to him-and he realised he needed help, and left his career behind. He didn't have the same issues, from what I can gather, of Pat Ingolsby. But seeing him speak openly and honestly about it. It was a difficult moment for him, but I respect him doing it.
ButtersSuki wrote: » What were Simon's issues? And where is he now? Really liked his musical taste, but ti was more late night and not in his main radio work per se. He used to be really into R and B, Soul Groove and Funk, Disco etc., and was pretty much the only one on 2fm playing anything like this when he was there.

(Meyers had similar luck with a movie called Velvet Goldmine-seems whenever an actor's first major role has them 'going gay' for a part-it's career suicide).
