    Didnt Andrew Strong do a Coca Cola ad? I thought he did

    Yeah I vaguely remember it. All I can recall is him pounding a piano and closeups of his big sweaty head.

    Oh God-that was his kid? His acting was horrific. Wouldn't get a call back on Fair City, tbh.

    Giving it full on Blue Steel in that pic.



    Wasn't he in some Sinatra Tribute show for a while too?

    Was that the one with the Ros na Run rapist? There was a rat pack show, and a few performers in it. And the Ros na Run rapist, Garreth Phillips, was part of the cast?

    not vanished but I was surprised to see that Dermot O' Neill plays Grandad in Mrs Browns Boys,

    Is it all make up ?

    I think you are confusing Dermot O'Neill the gardener and Dermot O'Neill the actor (and ex window cleaner)

    Only one actor, one name, Equity, but doesn't apply here. Only one Fifi Wilson. Cork actress found her name was already taken so choose Fiona Shaw instead.

    Was going to say Laura Ryan, she of 'former TV3 news presenter'. Was a really good looking woman.

    Then saw her on Tv3 news this evening. Still good looking, must be about 40 something now.

    He's doing the same crap over and over, but using his birth name in order to dodge the money lenders. (Conrad's not his given name).
    Last I heard, either South Africa or Brazil.

    You have to give it to him. He was some character!!! He pissed off so many serious people he was run out of Dublin. Then they screwed up his business in Manhattan. Then had him thrown in Prison in New York where he made load of mob connections for future business endeavors. Then more or less walks free...... Gotta hand it to the guy He had a neck like a jockeys bo%&ocks

    Pulling pints in the pub telling tall tales of his Eurovision adventure. At least he isnt trying to reinvent himself like the McCauls. God bless 'em, it was like watching Tintin and Snowy on stage.

    There's a programme on TG4 on Sunday about the Bachelors

    10.30pm Ceol on Chlann - The Bachelors
    Dublin brothers Conleth and Declan Cluskey remember forming Irish singing group the Bachelors and the four years of success they enjoyed with songs including I Believe, Charmaine, The Stars Will Remember, Ramona and Diane

    Behind the scenes radio producer, does quite a few interviews. I think he was interviewed on the Radio a year or so ago-wrote a one man show about Christy Hennessey.

    Prince of Donnybrook? He is RTE Montrose Royalty. He must be close to retirement. Remember the Yellow and Red Doc Martens, and matching suits. Great Character and hit the highs of RTE without being a prick like Pat the Plank
